CALGARY, AB, Nov. 26, 2025 /CNW/ - NG Energy International Corp. ("NGE" or the "Company") (TSXV: GASX) (OTCQX: GASXF) is pleased to announce that it has filed its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 (the "Interim Filings"), are available on the Company's website (www.ngenergyintl.com) and profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).
Q3 2025 Highlights:
-- The Company achieved gross average daily production of 27.2 MMcf/d in Q3
2025 -- as at the date of the Interim Filings, November month to date
gross daily production has increased to 33.8 MMcf/d following the
successful completion of the Aruchara-4 well at Maria Conchita. The
Company expects this trend to continue through the balance of the year
following the recompletion of the Aruchara-3 well at Maria Conchita and
the drilling of the Hechicero-1X well at Sinú-9.
-- The Company achieved natural gas and NGL sales of US$13.9 million in Q3
2025, representing a 53% increase over Q3 2024. Such increase was driven
by continued strong performance from Sinú-9 following first
production in late March 2025.
-- The Company generated positive cash flow from operations of US$7.9
million in Q3 2025.
-- Operating expenses totaled US$4.5 million in Q3 2025 and total US$12.7
million year-to-date. Per-unit operating costs at Sinú-9 improved
significantly to US$1.49 per Mcf in Q3 2025 from the year-to-date average
of US$2.81 per Mcf, representing a 47% decrease, which reflects the
absorption of one-time condensate handling and well servicing costs
incurred earlier in the ramp-up phase. This improvement underscores the
scalable, low-cost nature of the Sinú-9 asset as production volumes
continue to grow.
-- The Company realized prices of US$8.23 per Mcf from Maria Conchita during
Q3 2025, which is expected to continue to climb in a favourable natural
gas pricing environment with new natural gas volumes expected to be sold
at prices >$11.00 per MMBtu.
-- The Company realized prices of US$7.20 per Mcf from Sinú-9 during Q3
2025, which is a function of natural gas marketing contracts established
with infrastructure partners for providing the capital to build the
facilities and pipeline. The Company expects realized prices to increase
as daily sales volumes increase from the block.
-- The Company ended Q3 2025 with cash and cash equivalents of US$13.8
million, with the remaining US$110 million from the Etablissements Maurel
& Prom S.A. ("Maurel & Prom" or "M&P") transaction expected upon and
following closing, which is anticipated to occur in Q4 2025.
Jorge Fonseca, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Importantly, production quantities and realized natural gas prices are both increasing while unit operating costs continue to decrease -- a powerful combination that will significantly expand margins and overall profitability for the Company. November month to date gross daily production has increased to 33.8 MMcf/d across the two fields and, with key infrastructure now in place, the Company expects to see continuing increases in natural gas sales from Maria Conchita in Q4 as production is optimised from the Aruchara-4 well and recompletion work is completed at the Aruchara-3 well. This trend is expected to continue into Q1 2026 and throughout the whole of 2026 as additional transportation capacity comes online at Sinú-9, first looping the pipeline increasing transportation capacity to 40 MMcf/d, followed by the full twin increasing capacity to 60 MMcf/d. Closing of the M&P transaction will significantly bolster our balance sheet, providing the financial flexibility to commence a normal course issuer bid and positioning NGE for a pivotal year of growth as we launch a six-well drilling campaign with our incoming operational partner."

Information Regarding the Company's Working Interest Disclosure
With regard to the Company's working interests held in both the Maria Conchita and Sinu-9 Blocks, in both the context of this news release and the Company's previous news releases, the term "working interest", ultimately refers to the rights and obligations agreed to, eventually, materialize a contractual interest in an exploration and production contract before the ANH, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions. These conditions involve the assumption of financial risks and are generally linked to exploration by virtue of joint operating agreements. Once such conditions are fulfilled, the acquisition of a registered contractual interest, as party of record, in the exploration and production contract may materialize, by way of a request for approval of assignment before the ANH. For this reason, as is common practice within the oil and natural gas industry as a whole, the disclosed "working interest" may not coincide with the Company's current contractual interest in the exploration and production contract.
The assignment and allocation of "working interests" does not affect or undermine, in any way, the rights and obligations of registered parties under the relevant exploration and production contracts. Registered parties remain wholly and totally liable before the ANH, the Colombian authorities and third parties in connection with any and all obligations, risks and liabilities derived from the execution, performance or termination of the exploration and production contracts. Conversely, the rights and obligations that comprise "working interests" are only enforceable vis a vis between the executing parties under private agreements, and have no legal effects before the ANH, the Colombian authorities or third parties.
As of the date hereof, the Company is a party of record and holds a 51% contractual interest in the exploration and production contract for the Sinu-9 Block granted by and entered into with ANH. However, under the private agreements regarding the working interests in the Sinu-9 Block, the Company holds a 72% working interest. This means a 21% working interest is yet to be assigned and acknowledged as a contractual interest in the exploration and production contract, given the conditions to do so, including ANH approval, are yet to be fulfilled. Once these conditions are met, the Company will submit an approval request with ANH.
As disclosed in the Company's news release dated February 10, 2025, the Company has agreed to sell a 40% contractual interest in the exploration and production contract for the Sinu-9 Block to Etablissements Maurel & Prom S.A., effective as of February 1, 2025. Additionally, Clean Energy Resources S.A.S. remains the operator of record under such exploration and production contract and before the ANH.
With respect to the Maria Conchita Block, the Company holds 100% of the contractual interest as the sole party and operator of record under the relevant exploration and production contract entered into with the ANH, and holds an 80% working interest under private agreements with third parties.
