en.Wedoany.com Reported - Kolibri Global Energy is expanding its development strategy at the Tishomingo oil field in Oklahoma, USA, targeting multiple additional zones beyond the Lower Caney interval while continuing to exploit that layer, a move expected to significantly boost future drilling inventory and reserves.
The company plans to evaluate the commercial potential of the False Caney, Upper Caney, T-zone, and Sycamore intervals using improved completion techniques. As part of this strategy, it has added a fourth well to its 2026 drilling program. The Lovina 5-8-1H well, in which Kolibri holds a 98.5% working interest, will target the False Caney interval with a two-mile lateral. Testing of the Upper Caney interval may be scheduled for late 2026 or early 2027, while the T-zone and Sycamore remain candidates for future evaluation.
Kolibri is currently drilling the previously announced three Clifton Mack wells in the southwestern portion of its acreage. After encountering unexpected geological conditions on the first attempt, the initial well was redrilled with a redesigned casing program and has now been drilled and cemented. The company stated that lessons learned from the first well have been applied to the drilling of the second and third Clifton Mack wells, which are being batch-drilled and are scheduled for completion in the third quarter.
Company President and CEO Wolf Regener said the updated corporate strategy and the testing of the first False Caney well are expected to confirm a new zone, and successful results from these additional zones could add many currently unrecorded future drilling locations.
Kolibri has raised its 2026 operational outlook based on the revised drilling plan, while noting that the forecast reflects higher drilling costs associated with the redesigned Clifton Mack wells. If successful, development of these additional zones will significantly increase the company's drilling location inventory across the entire Tishomingo field and support sustained long-term production growth.
