and Reports Q1 2024 Results
TULSA,
OK – (May 15, 2024) – Empire Petroleum (NYSE American: EP) (“Empire” or the “Company”), an oil
and gas company with producing assets in New Mexico, North Dakota, Montana, Texas, and Louisiana, today provided an update on its North
Dakota development drilling program and reported results for the first quarter of 2024.
FIRST
QUARTER 2024 HIGHLIGHTS
| o | Reported

2024
OUTLOOK
Phil
Mulacek, Chairman, commented, “Recent drilling and data from the North Dakota field and reservoir affirm our confidence in the
opportunity to drive meaningful production improvements in this area. We continue to see excellent well economics within our North Dakota
operations and are pleased to have achieved significant per-well cost reductions as compared to our initial expectations, following the
drilling of our most recent wells. The integration of the new 3-D and the EOR infrastructure in North Dakota are the key drivers for
our production growth goals in 2024, which we expect to be weighted to the second half of the year.”
Mike
Morrisett, President and CEO, added, “Our team has assembled a strong base of producing assets, and we have a clear, focused strategy
to build value from this portfolio. Our principal focus for the balance of 2024 is to complete our North Dakota development program.
Moving into 2025, the Permian in New Mexico’s Lea County represents a significant production growth opportunity. We have initiated
technical work to identify uplift opportunities at our three prolific waterflood units in Lea County, though we expect it to take a few
more quarters before we can commence our pilot drilling program there.”
North
Dakota – Williston Basin:
Empire expects North Dakota development efforts to drive production improvements targeted
to return operations to positive cash flow and support New Mexico exploration and development in late 2024 and beyond.
| o | 70%
of the horizontal wells completed or in progress and more under development over the next
2 quarters; the remaining 30% of the horizontal laterals will be completed for initial Enhanced
Oil Recovery (EOR) development in Q2-Q3 2024; |
| o | First
stage of the EOR infrastructure to be completed in Q2-2024 and the balance installed in Q3-2024; |
| o | Initial
production impact anticipated to ramp in Q3-2024 to Q4-2024 and beyond; |
| o | Drill
core data, currently being evaluated, has confirmed new zones of potential development; and |
| o | 3-D
seismic program to guide North Dakota drilling and development; |
| o | Completed
3-D & 2-D seismic shoot in early May 2024; expect to complete 3-D processing/analysis
and updated 3-D model by end of Q2-2024 to support launch of development program in Q3-2024 |
New
Mexico – Permian Basin:
| o | Initiated
data and analytics on historical water injection profiles across all injectors in Empire’s
waterflood units; |
| o | Currently
focused on evaluating conformance improvements; |
| o | Optimizing
waterflood aerial performance to enhance overall recovery efficiency; |
| o | Constructed
reservoir simulation model of Eunice Monument South Unit (EMSU), Eunice Monument South Unit-B
(EMSU-B) and Arrowhead Grayburg Unit (AGU) to evaluate performance and impact to SWD injection
and long-term flooding into the San Andres; |
| o | Identified
high potential recompletion opportunities in outlying fields; and |
| o | Initiated
legal and regulatory actions against third parties trespassing on the NM water floods |

NM: A percentage calculation is not meaningful due to change in signs, a zero-value denominator, or a percentage change greater
than 200.
Net
sales for Q1-24 were 2,207 Boe/d, including 1,437 barrels of oil per day; 382 barrels of NGLs per day, and 2,328 thousand cubic feet
per day (“Mcf/d”) or 388 Boe/d of natural gas.
Empire
reported Q1-24 total revenue of $9.4 million versus $10.1 million in Q1-23. Contributing to the decrease was a $0.9 million net loss
on derivatives versus a net loss on derivatives of $0.07 million in Q1-23. Partially offsetting the change in derivatives loss was the
increase in oil production due to new wells completed in North Dakota.
Q1-24
lease operating expenses increased to $7.4 million versus $6.5 million for Q1-23, primarily due to higher power and fuel costs, higher
contract labor and an increase in employee headcount.
Production
and ad valorem taxes for Q1-24 were $0.8 million, slightly higher year-over-year as a result of higher product revenues.
Depreciation,
Depletion, Amortization and Accretion (“DD&A”) for Q1-24 was $1.98 million versus $1.02 million for Q1-23. The increase
in production and the impact of higher capitalized costs associated with the new drilling activity in North Dakota drove DD&A expense
higher year-over-year.
General
and administrative expenses, excluding share-based compensation expense, were $2.9 million, or $14.33 per Boe in Q1-24 versus $3.0 million,
or $15.23 per Boe in Q1-23. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to severance expense for the former CEO in Q1-23, which more
than offset a Q1-24 increase in salaries and benefits associated with an increase in employee headcount.
Interest
expense for Q1-24 was $0.3 million compared to $0.2 million for Q1-23.
Empire
recorded a Q1-24 net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, versus a Q1-23 net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted
share.
Adjusted
EBITDA was a loss of $0.7 million for Q1-24 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million in Q1-23.
CAPITAL
SPENDING, BALANCE SHEET & LIQUIDITY
For
the three months ended March 31, 2024, Empire invested approximately $13.4 million in capital expenditures, primarily reflecting the
completion of 4 wells in North Dakota.
As
of March 31, 2024, Empire had approximately $3.5 million in cash on hand and approximately $1.1 million available on its credit facility.
Empire received proceeds of approximately $20.66 million following the close of the Rights Offering in April 2024.

Non-GAAP
Information
Certain
financial information included in Empire’s financial results are not measures of financial performance recognized by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include “Adjusted Net Income (Loss)”,
“EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA”. These disclosures may not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in
accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be reported by other companies. Adjusted
Net Income (Loss) is presented because the timing and amount of these items cannot be reasonably estimated and affect the comparability
of operating results from period to period, and current periods to prior periods.

The
Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”),
accretion, amortization of right of use assets and other items. Company management believes this presentation is relevant and useful
because it helps investors understand Empire’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare its results with those of other
companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as
a substitute for net income, as an indication of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity.
In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use.
