HNR Acquisition Corp Announces Purchase of a Hot Oiler Truck and Rig

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 1, 2024 / HNR Acquisition Corp (NYSE American:HNRA) (the "Company" or "HNRA") is an independent upstream energy company with oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin. Today, the Company announces the purchase of a hot oiler truck and rig that adds flexibility for the field team and reduces costs.

A hot oiler truck and rig is used to (i) perform routine load and tests of pumping wells, (ii) unplug flowlines due to paraffin and sand, (iii) treat producing wells with production chemicals as needed, (iv) perform pressure tests throughout the field area, and (v) treat production tanks as needed due to "bad oil". The cost to HNRA of the hot oiler truck and rig is $130,000.

"Our oil field has wells and thousands of feet of flowlines which need to be unplugged to maintain production on an ongoing basis due to paraffin and sand blockage. The need for a hot oiler and rig is almost daily," said Jesse Allen, the Vice President of Operations. "Having a hot oiler and rig on location mitigates downtime due to plugged flowlines. We are currently spending approximately $30,000 a month on average, for a third-party subcontractor to perform what our hot oiler and rig may perform. Ownership costs of a hot oiler and rig should be at least 33% lower than engaging a subcontractor for the same service."

"We have a field team that can operate the hot oiler truck and rig. Owning and operating a hot oiler truck and rig versus using a third-party subcontractor where the closest subcontractor is at least an hour away, and not always available, gives flexibility to the field team. Owning this hot oiler and rig gives us the ability to quickly respond to needs and use for other applications which will also save field costs," continued Jesse Allen.

About the Oil Field Property

In November 2023, the Company acquired LH Operating, LLC ("LHO") including its holdings in New Mexico of oil and gas waterflood production comprising 13,700 contiguous leasehold acres, 342 producing wells and 207 injection wells situated on 20 federal and 3 state leases in the Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field. The Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field is located on the Northwest Shelf of the prolific Permian Basin in Eddy County, New Mexico.

Leasehold rights of LHO, now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, include the Seven Rivers, Queen, Grayburg and San Andres intervals that range from as shallow as 1,500 feet to 4,000 feet in depth. The December 2023 reserve report from our third-party engineer, William H. Cobb and Associates, Inc. ("Cobb"), reflects LHO to have proven reserves of approximately 15.4 million barrels of oil and 3.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas. The mapped original-oil-in-place ("OOIP") in the LHO leasehold is approximately 876 million barrels of oil in the Grayburg and San Andres intervals and 80 million barrels in the Seven Rivers interval for a total OOIP of approximately 956,000,000 barrels of oil.

Our primary production is currently from the Seven Rivers zone. In addition to proven reserves, the Company believes we may access an additional 34 million barrels of oil by adding perforations in the Grayburg and San Andres formations. With proven oil reserves of over 15 million barrels, combined with the potential 34 million additional barrels from the Grayburg and San Andres zones, LHO should produce oil and a revenue stream for more than two decades with a slow decline rate.
