New Stratus Energy Announces Filing of 2025 Year End Financials & Corporate UpdatesMay 6, 2026 10:25 AM
NewsfileCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - May 6, 2026) - New Stratus Energy Inc. (TSXV: NSE) ("New Stratus", "NSE" or the "Corporation") has filed its year end 2025 financials which are now available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).Colombia UpdateAs previously disclosed on December 1, 2025 NSE has entered into a binding memorandum of understanding for a joint venture agreement with a local operator, approved with the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos in Colombia, to jointly acquire and develop existing oil and gas production blocks in Colombia. After several months of negotiation, the definitive agreement is expected to be executed by the end of May 2026.Venezuela UpdateOn August 2, 2023, NSE announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with GoldPillar International Fund SPC Ltd. ("Goldpillar") to develop four onshore fields located in the Eastern Basin of Venezuela under the joint venture "Empresa Mixta Vencupet" with PDVSA . The fields had produced almost 600 million boe since production began in 1959 and produced at a maximum rate of 60,000 boe/d in 1960. Due to infrastructure erosion and a lack of capital, production today remains minimal at an average of 1,500 bbl/d. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Trump administration expanded its "Maximum Pressure" sanction enforcement measures. As a result, in December 2024, NSE entered into a termination agreement pursuant to which it formally dissolved its joint venture.Following the termination of its joint venture, NSE relinquished its entire equity stake in the joint venture at no cost. For two years from the termination, NSE will be allowed to negotiate in good faith to reacquire its shareholding in the joint venture. These negotiations have been initiated with our former partner at Goldpillar, and NSE expects to acquire 100% of the working interest in Goldpillar by the end of the second quarter 2026.Furthermore, NSE is working with numerous partners to acquire other "Empresas Mixtas" i.e. working interests from existing partners of PDVSA and is negotiating directly with U.S. oil services, operating and financial companies to sign memoranda of understanding ("MOU's") to request production sharing contracts as contemplated in the new hydrocarbon laws.Since the U.S. Government lifted all previously imposed sanctions earlier this year NSE has been corresponding directly with the interim Venezuelan Government to re-establish the robust oil & gas industry.Mexico UpdateAs disclosed on December 1, 2025, NSE had been in discussions with its partners in the Soledad contract to amend certain provisions to more accurately reflect field operations and absolve itself of future obligations. NSE has come to a settlement with Operaciones Petroleras Soledad S. de R.L. de C.V. ("OPS") and its affiliates whereby NSE has sold back to OPS the equity quotas that were held by NSE in their joint venture company, and in return NSE has received a C$7.3 million payment and a liability waiver for all previous and future abandonment costs, as well as all future drilling obligations. An agreement with OPS was concluded in mid-April following the completion of remedial work by NSE through the end of December 2025, with effect prior to December 31, 2025. The carrying value of the asset, in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") included all future contracted capital expenditures, therefore with the sale to the joint venture partner the carrying value exceeded the proceeds from the transaction resulting in a non-cash loss for the year ended 2025.Peru UpdateAs previously disclosed NSE has been negotiating with the Government of Peru, Petroperu and Perupetro on a new contract for Block 192 in Peru. The technical team at NSE operated Block 192 at a previous company from 2015 to 2021 at which point the block was returned to the Government of Peru following the declaration of a "Force Majure". As of February 19, 2026, there is a new interim President of Peru until new elections are held on July 28, 2026. Accordingly, NSE remains in a holding pattern until a new administration is in place to make decisions about energy contracts. However, given the substantial increase in opportunities in Colombia and Venezuela, NSE has decided to focus exclusively on these regions and become exclusively a "Colombia / Venezuela Focused Entity".Brazil UpdateNSE has received ownership approval from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels of Brazil. However, given the substantial increase in opportunities in Colombia and Venezuela, NSE has decided, as mentioned above, to focus exclusively on these regions and become a "Colombia / Venezuela Focused Entity".NSE Management UpdateMr. Mario Miranda has retired from the Corporation. Mr. Javier Silva, formerly Vice President, Finance, Latin America of the Corporation, has been promoted to Chief Financial Officer effective April 28, 2026. Mr. Miranda will be staying on in an advisory role until such time as a proper transition of duties has occurred. NSE thanks Mr. Miranda for all his hard work and wishes him the best in his retirement.Contact InformationWade Felesky

A boe conversion ratio of 6 thousand cubic feet (Mcf) per 1 barrel (bbl) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. As the value ratio between natural gas and crude oil based on the current prices of natural gas and crude oil is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a 6:1 conversion basis may be misleading as an indication of value.Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATESTo view the source version of this press release, please visit https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/296221 Original: New Stratus Energy Announces Filing of 2025 Year End Financials & Corporate Updates
