Kolibri Global Energy Advances Production, Renews Share Buyback…

Event summary

Kolibri completed fracture stimulation on three Clifton Mack wells, with flowback starting soon.
The Lovina 8-5-1HF well, testing the False Caney bench, finished drilling and awaits Q4 fracture stimulation.
Board approved a 1-year share buyback program for up to 5% of outstanding shares, starting September 28, 2026.
CEO Wolf Regener highlighted potential for new drilling locations if False Caney bench proves successful.

The big picture

Kolibri's operational updates come as oil prices hover near $100/barrel, significantly higher than the $70/barrel forecast used in June 2026. The share buyback renewal suggests confidence in cash flow generation from new production, while the False Caney bench test represents a potential long-term reserve growth opportunity. The company's focus on debt reduction and shareholder returns aligns with current industry trends of disciplined capital allocation amid volatile commodity markets.
