Condor Achieves New Production Record of 14,000 boe/d in Uzbekistan

Condor Energies Inc. ("Condor" or the "Company") (TSX: CDR,OTC:CNPRF), a Canadian based, internationally focused energy transition company with active Central Asian operations is pleased to provide an operational update on its Uzbekistan project.

Condor has reached a corporate milestone by exceeding 14,000 boe/d of daily production following the commencement of production from the recently drilled Kumli-46 horizontal well ("K-46") including total average daily production of 13,938 boe/d for the past seventy-two hours and 14,013 boe/d for the past 24 hours. The well initially flowed at a peak rate of 18.3 MMscf/d (or 3,050 boe/d) but has been restricted to manage the high gas stream velocities. No production decline has been observed in K-45 or K-46 to date, nor is any expected in the near term given the high flowing tubing pressure of over 1,400 psi recorded in K-46 over the past seventy-two hours.

The follow-up Kumli-47 horizontal well ("K-47") has already drilled to its surface casing point at 509 meters and casing is being run and cemented. K-47 targets the same sucrosic dolomite formation drilled in K-46, providing a high porosity reservoir that yields exceptional gas rate deliverability and is scheduled to reach total depth by mid-May 2026. Concurrently, ongoing workover operations continue to mitigate an annual 20% natural reservoir decline rate observed from the legacy wells.

Don Streu, Condor's President and CEO commented: "With the added success of K-46, average daily production has now increased 32% over the past seventy-two hours compared to the average daily production in the fourth quarter of 2025. K‑46 reflects Condor's repeated ability to implement Western technologies to identify hydrocarbons and convert them to cashflow with discipline and efficiency while maintaining a clear focus on safety and operational excellence. We are thrilled to be monetizing K-46 production so soon after completing the well and anticipate similar flow performance results from K-47. Our near-term horizontal well program has the potential to materially increase our 2026 gas production and reserves volumes, while helping to enhance Uzbekistan's energy security."

ABOUT Condor Energies INC

Condor Energies Inc is a TSX-listed energy transition company that is uniquely positioned on the doorstep of European and Asian markets with three distinct first-mover energy security initiatives: increasing natural gas and condensate production from its existing fields in Uzbekistan; an ongoing project to construct and operate Central Asia's first LNG ‘lower carbon fuel' diesel substitution facility in Kazakhstan; and a separate initiative to develop and produce critical minerals from brines in Kazakhstan. Condor has already built a strong foundation for reserves, production and cashflow growth while also striving to minimize its environmental footprint.

The Company recognizes 100% of the production volumes, sales volumes, sales revenues, royalties and expenses related to the production enhancement contract project in Uzbekistan ("PEC Project") and then allocates 49% of the comprehensive income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest holder. This is consistent with the accounting and disclosure in the Company's financial statements. Accordingly, the production volumes disclosed in this news release related to the PEC Project are 100% of the amounts attributable to the PEC Project, of which 51% are attributable to the Company.

BARRELS OF OIL EQUIVALENT

References herein to barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") are derived by converting gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand standard cubic feet ("Mcf") of gas to one barrel of oil based on an energy conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6 Mcf to 1 barrel, utilizing a conversion ratio at 6 Mcf to 1 barrel may be misleading as an indication of value, particularly if used in isolation.

ABBREVIATIONS

The following is a summary of abbreviations used in this news release:

MMscf million standard cubic feet
MMscf/d million standard cubic feet per day
boe/d barrels of oil equivalent per day
psi pounds per square inch
