ShaMaran Reports First Quarter 2026 ResultsMay 6, 2026 5:30 PM
PR Newswire (Canada) VANCOUVER, BC, May 6, 2026 /CNW/ - ShaMaran Petroleum Corp. ("ShaMaran" or the "Company") (TSXV: SNM) (Nasdaq First North: SNM) today released its financial and operating results and related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for the three months ended March 31, 2026. PDF VersionGarrett Soden, President and CEO of ShaMaran, commented: "ShaMaran had a solid start to 2026 on the back of operational strength at Atrush and higher price realizations from international export sales. Unfortunately, the Iran war has severely impacted the Kurdistan region with most international oil companies shut-in since early March. Together with our operating partner, HKN, we remain focused on ensuring the safety of personnel, reducing operating expenditures and non-critical activities while maintaining readiness to restart production when the security situation allows. In the meantime, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has highlighted the critical importance of the Iraq-Türkiye export pipeline as an outlet for all Iraqi crude."Mr. Soden continued: "As previously announced, shareholders approved the proposals to move the Company's primary listing from Toronto to Oslo and to effect a corporate continuance from Canada to Bermuda. We will proceed with that process shortly."Corporate Highlights:On March 2, 2026, the Company announced a temporary production shut-in at both the Atrush and Sarsang blocks as a precautionary measure due to the regional security environment related to the Iran war. Other international oil companies ("IOCs") in the region have also announced temporary production shut-ins since early March, with only a fraction of the pre-Iran war oil volumes being exported from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq ("KRI") via the Iraq-Türkiye pipeline ("ITP");The Company announced on March 5, 2026, an explosion at one of the processing facilities in the Sarsang field and on April 1, 2026, an explosion at one of the storage facilities in the Sarsang field. All personnel were safely accounted for, and no injuries were reported;International oil exports from the KRI through the ITP restarted on September 27, 2025, and continue in line with the interim agreements executed between the Kurdistan Regional Government ("KRG"), Government of Iraq and IOCs, including ShaMaran.IOCs are entitled to receive export payments "in-kind" under the interim agreements, with cargoes sold by the IOC-appointed marketing firm on a regular basis and payments for the sales received approximately 30 days after each lifting. There have been no delays in receiving payment from the Iraqi State Organization for Marketing of Oil ("SOMO") as part of the interim agreements since the start of exports in September 2025.The interim agreements were extended to June 30, 2026, in order to facilitate the reconciliation of IOC invoices with the respective production sharing contracts ("PSCs") by the appointed international consulting firm. IOCs expect full PSC entitlement payment when the review is completed.On March 10, 2026, the Company announced shareholder approval for the continuance of the Company from Canada to Bermuda and the delisting of the Company's shares from the TSXV. Following the continuance to Bermuda, the Company plans to list its shares on the Euronext Growth Oslo market operated by the Oslo Stock Exchange while maintaining the Company's secondary listing on the Nasdaq First North in Stockholm. Once ShaMaran completes both transactions, the Company will no longer be incorporated in British Columbia and subject to the laws of Canada, it will cease to be listed on the TSXV, and it will no longer be a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction in Canada. ShaMaran will instead be incorporated in and subject to the laws of Bermuda.Financial Highlights:

Revenue in Q1 2026 was $38.0 million (6% higher than the $35.9 million in Q1 2025) primarily due to oil sales at international prices following the restart of pipeline exports. Production has been suspended since March 2, 2026, impacting revenue in Q1 2026;Gross margin on oil sales in Q1 2026 was $22.7 million (82% higher than the $12.5 million in Q1 2025) mainly due to Q1 2026 pipeline export sales at international pricing and lower costs due to the shut-in;Net cash flow from operating activities in Q1 2026 was $21.4 million (33% lower than the $32.0 million in Q1 2025) mainly from pipeline export interim payments. The decrease is due to timing of cash receipts for pipeline export sales, as well as higher expenditures related to drilling, debottlenecking and maintenance works on both blocks;Adjusted EBITDAX¹ in Q1 2026 was $28.1 million (15% higher than the $24.5 million in Q1 2025) due to a combination of the effects described above and lower corporate costs;At March 31, 2026, the Company had cash of $36.5 million and gross debt (corporate bond) of $143.8 million.

Sarsang is expected to restart at reduced capacity, with full production to be reached in phases over several months, as damage assessment is complete and repairs or modifications are made; andOperational plans for the remainder of 2026, including drilling and other capital expenditures, are contingent on the security environment in the region. The operating plans for 2026 are also contingent on the continuation of the ITP export deal reached with SOMO in 2025, including completion of the reconciliation work by the appointed international consultant and receipt of full PSC entitlement by IOCs, as well as the extension or renegotiation of the ITP agreement between Iraq and Turkey prior to its expiry in July 2026.Subsequent events:On April 1, 2026, the Company announced an explosion at one of the storage facilities in the Sarsang field. All personnel were safely accounted for, and no injuries were reported. Both the Atrush and Sarsang blocks remain shut-in due to the regional security environment, and there is no certainty as to the duration of the shut-in. HKN Energy Ltd.

ShaMaran Reports Fourth Quarter 2025 Results and Year-End Reserves and ResourcesMarch 4, 2026 5:30 PM
PR Newswire (Canada)
VANCOUVER, BC, March 4, 2026 /CNW/ - ShaMaran Petroleum Corp. ("ShaMaran" or the "Company") (TSXV: SNM) (Nasdaq First North: SNM) today released its financial and operating results and related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025. PDF VersionGarrett Soden, President and CEO of ShaMaran, commented: "Our year-end results demonstrate the Company's earnings potential from better international crude pricing following the reopening of the Iraq-Türkiye export pipeline, with sales and EBITDAX¹ materially higher than in previous quarters. Also, payment certainty for our oil sales has significantly improved versus previous exports, enabling ShaMaran and HKN to start investing again in our assets. The debottlenecking at Atrush has increased crude handling capacity to 40,000 bopd, and we plan to 'drill-to-fill' this capacity, depending on the regional security environment. In the meantime, we are working with the appointed international consultant to confirm our full PSC entitlement according to the federal budget agreement, and we look forward to the additional top-up payments for oil sales since pipeline exports restarted last September."Mr. Soden continued: "As previously announced, shareholders will vote on March 10, 2026, at a special meeting about our proposals to move the Company's primary listing from Toronto to Oslo and to effect a corporate continuance from Canada to Bermuda. We will continue to support the Stockholm secondary listing. Several institutional shareholders have joined the Lundin family in indicating their support for the resolutions, and we encourage all shareholders to vote in favor of these changes to attract new investors, increase trading liquidity and streamline future capital returns."Corporate Highlights:International oil exports from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq ("KRI") through the Iraq-Türkiye pipeline ("ITP") restarted on September 27, 2025, and continued uninterrupted during Q4 2025, in line with the interim agreements executed between the Kurdistan Regional Government ("KRG"), Government of Iraq and several international oil companies ("IOCs"), including ShaMaran.IOCs are entitled to receive export payments "in kind" under the interim agreements, with cargoes sold by the IOC-appointed marketing firm on a regular basis, and payments for the sales received approximately 30 days after each lifting.The interim agreements were extended to March 31, 2026, in order to facilitate the reconciliation of IOC invoices with the respective production sharing contracts ("PSCs") by the appointed international consulting firm. Payment for each participating IOC's full PSC entitlement is expected when the review is completed.In 2025, the Company repaid $56.1 million of the corporate bond and extended the maturity of the bond by two years to July 2029. The Company also repaid the $15.6 million balance of the related-party loan plus all accrued and unpaid interest.Financial Highlights:

Except as otherwise indicated, all currency amounts indicated as "$" in this news release are expressed in United States dollars.Reserve and Resource AdvisoryShaMaran's reserve and contingent resource estimates are as at December 31, 2025, and have been prepared and audited in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGEH"). Unless otherwise stated, all reserves estimates contained herein are the aggregate of "proved reserves" and "probable reserves", together also known as "2P reserves". Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.Contingent resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as at a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development but are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable for the Company to produce any portion of the contingent resources.Contingent resources are further categorized according to the level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub-classified based on a project maturity and/or characterized by their economic status. There are three classifications of contingent resources: low estimate, best estimate and high estimate. Best estimate is a classification of estimated resources described in the COGEH as the best estimate of the quantity that will be actually recovered; it is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.This press release contains an oil and gas metric, being 2P reserves replacement ratio, which does not have a standardized meaning or a standard method of calculation and therefore such measure may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. This metric is commonly used in the oil and gas industry and has been included herein to provide readers with an additional measure to evaluate ShaMaran's performance. However, such measure is not a reliable indicator of the future performance of ShaMaran, and future performance may not compare to the performance in previous periods._______________________________________
3 Reserves and contingent resources estimates were provided by McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. ("McDaniel"), the Company's independent qualified resources evaluator, and were prepared in accordance with standards set out in the Canadian National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook.
4 The Company's working interest 2C contingent resources are defined as the best estimate of working interest quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies.Non-IFRS Accounting Standards MeasuresThis news release contains certain financial measures, as described below, which do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards or generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). As these non-IFRS financial measures are commonly used in the oil and gas industry, the Company believes that their inclusion is useful to investors. The reader is cautioned that these amounts may not be directly comparable to measures for other companies where similar terminology is used.The non-IFRS financial measures used in this news release are used by the Company as key measures of financial performance and are not intended to represent operating profits nor should they be viewed as an alternative to cash provided by operating activities, net income or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The following tables set out how the non-IFRS Accounting Standards measures are calculated from figures shown in the audited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, together with the accompanying notes (the "Financial Statements"):EBITDAX and Adjusted EBITDAXEBITDAX is calculated as the net result before financial items, taxes, depletion of oil and gas properties, impairment costs, the gains on acquisitions, depreciation and exploration expenses and adjusted for non-recurring profit/loss on sale of assets and other income. The Company uses EBITDAX primarily as a measure of profitability and cash generation. Adjusted EBITDAX adds back non-cash, share-based payments and non-recurring, transaction and project related expenses.

Kurdistan Oil Flows Not Expected to Resume Anytime Soon
By Simon Watkins - Feb 06, 2024, 5:00 PM CST
Perhaps no subject in the complex world of global oil involves so many intricate moving parts as the extraordinary relationship between the Federal Government of Iraq (FGI), based in Baghdad, and the government of Iraq's northern semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan (KRG), centred in Erbil. It is only when something such as the suspension of major flows of oil from Kurdistan to Turkey occurs, as began on 25 March 2023, that many analysts start trying to unravel what has caused it. And they find themselves entering an Alice In Wonderland world in which anything is possible, but nothing is as it seems. In this world, it is very easy to lose sight of the wood for the trees sometimes, and this appears to be what has happened in a letter sent by foreign oil firms in Kurdistan to the U.S. Congress asking for help in having the export oil embargo lifted.
Ironically, in fact, it is only towards the very end of the letter from the Association of the Petroleum Industry of Kurdistan (APIKUR) that the group, which largely comprises the oil interests of several foreign firms directly or indirectly, inadvertently hits on the precise reasons why a full, clear, and transparent lifting of the embargo is unlikely to happen soon, if ever. The letter highlights that the halt in exports that affects between 400,000-500,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil from Iraqi Kurdistan must be lifted because it puts at risk over US$10 billion of U.S. and international investments in Kurdistan and because it is severely impacting the region's economy and stability at a time when regional tensions are already heightened. Bingo!
By keeping the West out of energy deals in Iraq - and closer to the new Iran-Saudi axis - the end of Western hegemony in the Middle East will become the decisive chapter in the West's final demise," said a very high-ranking Kremlin official at a meeting with senior government figures from Iran, just after the 10 March 2023 signing of the Iran-Saudi Arabia relationship resumption deal, brokered by China. The comment was exclusively relayed to OilPrice.com, just before the 25 March oil export embargo from Iraqi Kurdistan by a senior source who works closely with the European Union's energy security apparatus, and we passed it on to our esteemed readers. Nothing whatsoever has changed to modify the view of either the Iraqi central government in Baghdad, or the senior figures in Tehran, Moscow, and Beijing who are helping to implement the 'One Iraq Plan' as it is referred to behind closed doors. If anything, the rising uncertainty in the Middle East emanating from fears of a dramatic escalation in the Israel-Hamas War are serving to expedite key elements of the plan, with the U.S.'s focus on that War.
In essence, the bare mechanics of the 'One Iraq Plan', as broadly delineated by the senior Kremlin figure, are to cut off all sources of external revenue from the government of Iraqi Kurdistan - most significantly from independent oil sales by foreign companies operating there - before absorbing it into the rest of the country, under the sole rule of Baghdad, as analysed in depth in my new book on the new global oil market order. If that is understood, then everything that has subsequently happened in Iraq since the 10 March relationship resumption deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia makes perfect sense. The basic reason for this is that Iraqi Kurdistan has long been regarded by Russia, China, and Iran, as a key U.S. ally in the Middle East, and this will no longer be tolerated, which gives rise to two further choices.
The first is to give Iraqi Kurdistan its independence and sever all links between it and the rest of Iraq. This, though, is not an option on the table for three key reasons. One is that the main northern overland export route into Europe for all of Iraq runs through the Kurdistan region and into Turkey. The original Iraq-Turkey Pipeline (ITP) - controlled by the FGI in Baghdad - consisted of two pipes (a 40-inch one started up in 1977, and a 46-inch one started up in 1987), from the Kirkuk oil fields (also nominally owned by the FGI) on the border of the Iraqi Kurdistan to Ceyhan, which had a combined nameplate capacity of 1.6 million bpd. The FGI-controlled pipeline's export capacity reached between 250,000 and 400,000 bpd when running normally, although it was subject to regular sabotage by various militant groups. The Iraqi Kurdistan's KRG, in response to the regular attacks on the FGI pipeline, completed its own single-side track Taq field-Khurmala-Kirkuk/Ceyhan pipeline in the border town of Fishkhabur. This was part of its drive to raise oil exports above 1 million bpd. Clearly, Baghdad will never give these vital oil export links away.

blessing of Iran, Russia, and China. That has not been given, so there is no reason to expect it to end in any sustainable fashion any time soon. Conversely, however, the move to destroy any last vestiges of Iraqi Kurdistan independence remain in full swing. A clear statement on 3 August last year from Iraq Prime Minister, Mohammed Al-Sudani, highlighted that the new intended unified oil law - run, in every way that matters, out of Baghdad - will govern all oil and gas production and investments in both Iraq and its autonomous Kurdistan region and will constitute "a strong factor for Iraq's unity". As the senior E.U. source reiterated exclusively to OilPrice.com last week: "Baghdad has no interest at all in agreeing to any of Turkey's terms or in Iraqi Kurdistan resuming its independent oil sales either." He concluded: "As Baghdad does not see an independent Kurdistan in the future of Iraq, it sees the best solution as keeping the independent oil sales stopped and the Kurds financially paralysed.

ShaMaran Acquires TAQA Interest in Atrush and Partners with HKN
V.SNM | 4 days ago
VANCOUVER, BC, January 22, 2024 /CNW/ - ShaMaran Petroleum Corp. ("ShaMaran" or the "Company") (TSXV: SNM) (Nasdaq First North: SNM) has entered into definitive agreements for a two-step transaction to increase its indirect working interest in the Atrush Block in Kurdistan from 27.6% to 50%, with HKN EnergyIV, Ltd. ("HKNIV"), an affiliate of HKN Energy Ltd. ("HKN"), indirectly acquiring a 25% working interest and operatorship, subject to required approvals. View PDF
Garrett Soden, President and CEO of ShaMaran, commented: "This transaction continues ShaMaran's consolidation strategy in Kurdistan. We are acquiring TAQA's 47.4% interest in Atrush and selling a 25% interest and operatorship to HKNIV. ShaMaran and HKN are already co-venturers in the adjoining Sarsang block operated by HKN. We look forward to working together at Atrush to realize significant synergies on both blocks."
In the first step of the transaction, ShaMaran's wholly-owned Cayman subsidiary, General Exploration Partners, Inc. ("GEP"), entered into an agreement with TAQA International B.V. ("TIBV"), a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC ("TAQA"), to acquire TAQA Atrush B.V. ("TABV") ("Step 1"). TABV is a Dutch holding company with a 47.4% working interest and operatorship in the Atrush Production Sharing Contract in Kurdistan ("Atrush PSC"). Step 1 is subject to customary closing conditions for a share sale and purchase agreement in the Netherlands and customary stock exchange approvals in Canada.
At closing of Step 1, HKNIV will begin operating Atrush on a fee basis in contemplation of the second step of the transaction. The appointment of HKNIV as operator is subject to review by the Ministry of Natural Resources in Kurdistan.
In the second step of the transaction, TABV will transfer a 25% working interest in the Atrush PSC to GEP2, a new Cayman wholly-owned subsidiary of GEP. In parallel, GEP has entered into an agreement to sell GEP2 to HKNIV for nominal consideration such that HKN IV will hold a 25% working interest and operatorship in the Atrush PSC ("Step 2"). The sale of GEP2 to HKNIV will be subject to approval by the Kurdistan Regional Government ("KRG").
After closing the above transaction steps, the Atrush Block will have the following parties: GEP 50%, HKNIV (through GEP2) 25% and KRG 25%.
