Executive Summary

 

An engineering and economic evaluation was prepared for oil and gas reserves located in the Williston Basin Sanish Field in Mountrail County, North Dakota in which Energy 11, LP (“Energy 11”) owns a working and/or royalty interest. The oil and gas reserves associated with these properties were evaluated and classified as Proved Reserves in accordance with the definitions and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Proved reserves include two hundred seventy-five (275) horizontal Proved Developed Producing (PDP) wells, twenty-eight (28) horizontal Proved Developed Non-Producing (PDNP) wells; twenty-two (22) PDNP wells are waiting on workover or offset activity to return to production and six (6) PDNP wells have been commenced but are not yet on production; and forty-one (41) Proved Undeveloped (PUD) horizontal locations targeting the Bakken Shale and Three Forks formation in multiple sections/units. Also included in the attached economic reports are four (4) Proved Developed Shut-In (PDSI) wells and one (1) Plugged and Abandoned (PA) well; however, these wells were given no value or reserves for this evaluation. Remaining reserves, future cashflow, and present worth values were calculated as of January 1, 2024. It is our understanding that the proved reserves estimated in this report constitute all of the proved reserves owned by Energy 11.

 

The reserves and economics were determined using SEC YE2022 pricing as of January 1, 2023. Table 1 summarizes the estimated net reserves and future net revenue (cashflow), discounted and undiscounted, to the Energy 11 interest in these properties.

Economic Evaluation

 

Future Income

 

Future net revenue in this report includes deductions for state production taxes. Future net cashflow is after deducting state production taxes, future capital investments, and lease operating expenses but before consideration of any state and/or federal income taxes. For the purposes of this evaluation, future capital investments include costs for drilling, completing, and equipping new wells. Abandonment costs of 100 M$ at the end of well life for each well have been included in this evaluation. The future net cashflow has not been adjusted for any outstanding loans that may exist, cash on hand, or undistributed income. Future net cashflow has been discounted at an annual rate of ten percent (10%) to determine its “present worth.” The present worth is shown to indicate the effect of time on the value of money. Future net revenue (cashflow) presented in this report, whether discounted or undiscounted, should not be construed as being the fair market value of the properties evaluated.

 

Interests

 

Well and leasehold interests were provided by Energy 11 and are shown in Exhibit A. The non-operated interests average approximately 23% working interest and 19% net revenue interest.

 

Product Pricing

 

Per SEC rules, the SEC pricing is determined by calculating the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month NYMEX oil and gas pricing for the prior twelve calendar months (January 2023 through December 2023) to the date of evaluation. All prices are held constant throughout the lives of the properties. For year-end 2023, the unweighted arithmetic average NYMEX (Cushing) oil price is 78.22 $/bbl and the average NYMEX (Henry Hub) natural gas price is 2.64 $/MMbtu. Prices were adjusted for quality, basis, energy content, transportation fees and other market differentials based on an analysis of revenue data.

 

Differentials to NYMEX pricing were calculated by examining Energy 11 revenue statements and financial information to determine deductions or increases to oil and gas prices due to Btu, differentials, and NGLs. The pricing differentials by operator are shown in Table 3.

Including the adjustments for quality, basis, energy content, transportation fees and other market differentials, the average realized prices held constant throughout the lives of the properties were 78.25 $/bbl oil, 2.51 $/Mcf natural gas and 13.30 $/bbl NGL.

 

 

 

Expenses

 

Expenses were calculated by examining historical financial information provided by Energy 11 to determine a fixed monthly rate and variable expenses to model the actual well life expense changes for all wells. Deductions for processing, transportation, and/or contract terms were also calculated for each product. Expenses were not escalated and are shown in Table 4.

Future Well Investments

 

Capital expenses for the future locations were estimated to be 9,900 M$/well, which is consistent with recent, actual industry drilling and completion costs for wells within the prospective area. Capital expenses for installation of an electric submersible pump (ESP) of 200 M$/well was also included at a cumulative production of 85 MBO for each future location. Capital timing for future development work was provided by Energy 11. Pinnacle cannot be responsible for capital costs that exceed or are less than these estimates.

 

Reserve Determination

 

RESERVE DISCUSSION

 

Remaining recoverable reserves are those quantities of petroleum which are anticipated to be commercially recovered from known accumulations from a given date forward. All reserve estimates involve some degree of uncertainty depending primarily on the amount of reliable geologic and engineering (production, pressure) data available at the time of the estimate and the interpretation of these data. The relative degree of uncertainty is conveyed by classifying reserves as Proved (highly certain) or Non-Proved (less certain). The estimated reserves and revenues shown in this report were determined by SEC standards for Proved Developed Producing (PDP) wells, Proved Developed Non-Producing (PDNP), and Proved Undeveloped (PUD) locations.

 

Proved reserves are those quantities of petroleum which, by analysis of geological and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs with defined limits and under current economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. Changes in any of these variables could materially change the reserves actually recovered.

 

Proved reserves are further classified as Proved Developed Producing (PDP) which is assigned to wells with sufficient production history to allow material balance and decline curve analysis to be the primary methods of estimation. PDP reserves are the most reliable reserves, generally with a high degree of confidence (>90%) that actually recovered quantities will equal or exceed published reserve estimates.

 

 

 

Proved Developed Non-Producing (PDNP) reserves include zones that have been penetrated by drilling but have not produced or have not produced in sufficient quantities to allow material balance or decline curve analysis with a high degree of confidence. This category includes wells awaiting completion. Also included in this category are wells that have temporarily stopped producing due to offset activity or workover operations but will return to production as soon as work has been commenced.

 

Proved Undeveloped (PUD) reserves are those quantities of petroleum that are estimated to be recovered from undrilled acreage (locations) in a continuous portion of the Proved Developed reservoir as defined by directly offsetting Proved Developed (PDP) wells and geological interpretations. The Proved Undeveloped wells are forecasted based on geological data presented, volumetric calculations, and analog comparisons to existing completions.

 

General

 

The reserves and values included in this report are estimates only and should not be construed as being exact quantities. The reserve estimates were performed using accepted engineering practices and were primarily based on historical rate decline analysis for existing producers. When possible and practical, volumetric calculations and analogies were integrated into the reserve estimates. As additional pressure and production performance data becomes available, reserve estimates may increase or decrease in the future. The revenue from such reserves and the actual costs related may be more or less than the estimated amounts. Because of governmental policies and uncertainties of supply and demand, the prices actually received for the reserves included in this report and the costs incurred in recovering such reserves may vary from the price and cost assumptions referenced. Therefore, in all cases, estimates of reserves may increase or decrease as a result of future operations. We consider all assumptions, data, and procedures utilized in this report appropriate for the purpose of this report.

 

In evaluating the information available for this analysis, items excluded from consideration were all matters as to which legal or accounting interpretation, rather than engineering interpretation, may be controlling. As in all aspects of oil and gas evaluation, there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of engineering data and such conclusions necessarily represent only informed professional judgments.
