LOGAN ENERGY CORP. ANNOUNCES 2026 BUDGET AND OPERATIONS UPDATE

CALGARY, AB, Jan. 5, 2026 /CNW/ - Logan Energy Corp. (TSXV: LGN) ("Logan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its budget and guidance for 2026 and to provide an operations update.

2026 BUDGET

Logan is pleased to provide details of its budget for 2026, which is focused on delivering disciplined production growth and advancing certain strategic projects while maintaining balance sheet strength through a weaker oil price environment.

Logan's Board of Directors has approved a 2026 capital expenditure budget of $140 to $150 million which is expected to deliver production between 15,000 to 16,000 BOE/d. 2026 average production is projected to grow by approximately 19% and unit operating and transport costs are forecast to decrease by 10% compared to 2025¹. The budget and planned activities are designed to maintain flexibility such that capital can be reduced or increased depending on commodity prices throughout the year.

The drilling, completion and equipping of wells comprises $105 million of the budget which is focused on:

Pouce Coupe:

• Seven (7.0 net) oil weighted wells at Pouce Coupe in the D1 Lower Middle Montney.
• One (1.0 net) gas weighted location in the north part of Pouce Coupe in the D1 Lower Middle Montney ("3-15 Well"); North Pouce Coupe D1 inventory is currently unbooked with considerable follow up inventory.
• One (1.0 net) gas weighted location in the Upper Montney ("6-18 Well"). The Pouce Coupe Upper Montney is unbooked and incremental to Logan's disclosed inventory, and has the potential to extend Pouce Coupe inventory life to ~20 years.

Simonette:

• Five (2.5 net) Lower Montney oil locations at South Simonette.
• Completion of one (0.7 net) Spirit River Deep Basin location (Wilrich strandplain play) of which drilling of the well was accelerated into the fourth quarter of 2025. Logan's Spirit River inventory is currently unbooked and incremental to Logan's disclosed inventory with considerable running room in Simonette.

Infrastructure, land, contingency and other capital constitute $40 million of the budget with the following key projects:

• Construction of a South Simonette oil battery and compressor station which will enable further growth from South Simonette. This facility is a key project in achieving Logan's long term growth forecast for Simonette of 16,000 to 23,000 BOE/d, and is expected to improve capital efficiencies on future locations by reducing the wellsite equip scope and reducing the gathering system pressures.
• Expansion of the Pouce Coupe 4-19 gas plant, including increasing compression capacity by approximately 10 mmcf/d to 50 mmcf/d as well as centralized H2S treating and other minor optimizations.

The Company's guidance for 2026 is summarized as follows:

OPERATIONS UPDATE

In December, Logan drilled its first two wells at Flatrock, marking an important milestone in advancing this high potential Montney asset. The wells drilled very efficiently with 10-day drills on average. The completion and tie-in capital for at least one well would be amongst the first scope to be added to the 2026 budget in the event commodity prices are supportive of an expanded budget. The rig moved from Flatrock and has spud the Pouce Coupe 3-15 well.

A second rig began the Simonette campaign by drilling a Wilrich Spirit River well in December. With the strengthening of natural gas prices and weaker crude oil prices, Logan has the ability pivot capital accordingly across prospects in our portfolio. This well is a good example of the breadth of opportunity that exists within Logan's assets and the additional gas weighted inventory which has not been a focus over the previous two years of depressed natural gas prices. Following the Wilrich well, the rig is continuing on to the Lower Montney development drilling at South Simonette.

Production was steady during the balance of 2025, with field estimated production of approximately 15,200 BOE/d (39% liquids) on average for the fourth quarter of 2025.

READER ADVISORIES

Non-GAAP Measures and Ratios

This press release contains certain financial measures and ratios which do not have standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards"), also known as Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). As these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are commonly used in the oil and gas industry, Logan 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-GAAP measures and ratios used in this press release, represented by the capitalized and defined terms outlined below, are used by Logan 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.

The definitions below should be read in conjunction with the "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" section of the Company's MD&A dated November 12, 2025, which includes discussion of the purpose and composition of the specified financial measures and detailed reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Operating Income and Operating Netback

Operating Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful supplemental measure that provides an indication of the Company's ability to generate cash from field operations, prior to administrative overhead, financing and other business expenses. "Operating Income, before hedging" is calculated by Logan as oil and gas sales, net of royalties, plus processing and other revenue, less operating and transportation expenses. "Operating Income, after hedging" is calculated by adjusting Operating Income, before hedging for realized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments.

The Company refers to Operating Income expressed per unit of production as an "Operating Netback" and reports the Operating Netback before and after hedging, both of which are non-GAAP financial ratios. Logan considers Operating Netback an important measure to evaluate its operational performance as it demonstrates its field level profitability relative to current commodity prices.

Adjusted Funds Flow

Cash provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable measure to Adjusted Funds Flow. "Adjusted Funds Flow" is reconciled to cash provided by operating activities by excluding changes in non-cash working capital, adding back transaction costs on acquisitions (if applicable). Logan utilizes Adjusted Funds Flow as a key performance measure in the Company's annual financial forecasts and public guidance.

The Company refers to Adjusted Funds Flow expressed per unit of production as an "Adjusted Funds Flow Netback".

Adjusted Funds Flow per share ("AFF per share")

AFF per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio used by the Logan as a key performance indicator. The basic and/or diluted weighted average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of AFF per share is calculated using the same methodology as net income per share.

Capital Expenditures before A&D

"Capital Expenditures before A&D" is used by Logan to measure its capital investment level compared to the Company's annual budgeted capital expenditures for its organic drilling program. It includes capital expenditures on exploration and evaluation assets and property, plant and equipment, before acquisitions and dispositions. The directly comparable GAAP measure to capital expenditures is cash used in investing activities.

Net Debt (Surplus)

Throughout this press release, references to "Net Debt" or "Net Surplus" includes bank debt, net of "Adjusted Working Capital". Net Debt and Adjusted Working Capital are both non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Working Capital is calculated as current liabilities less current assets, excluding derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities and provisions and other liabilities. As of the date hereof, Adjusted Working Capital includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids and deposits, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Supplementary Financial Measures

The supplementary financial measures used in this press release (primarily average sales price per product type and certain per BOE and per share figures) are either a per unit disclosure of a corresponding GAAP measure, or a component of a corresponding GAAP measure, presented in the financial statements. Supplementary financial measures that are disclosed on a per unit basis are calculated by dividing the aggregate GAAP measure (or component thereof) by the applicable unit for the period. Supplementary financial measures that are disclosed on a component basis of a corresponding GAAP measure are a granular representation of a financial statement line item and are determined in accordance with GAAP.

Assumptions for Guidance

The significant assumptions used in the forecast of Operating Netbacks and Adjusted Funds Flow for the Company's 2026 Guidance are summarized below.

Planned Activity

Guidance Sensitivities

Changes in forecast commodity prices, exchange rates, differences in the amount and timing of capital expenditures, and variances in average production estimates can have a significant impact on the key performance measures included in Logan's guidance for 2026. The Company's actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Holding all other assumptions constant, the table below shows the impact to forecasted Adjusted Funds Flow of a US$5/bbl change in the WTI crude oil price, a $0.25/GJ change in the AECO natural gas price, and a $0.01 change in the CA$/US$ exchange rate. Assuming capital expenditures are unchanged, an increase (decrease) in Adjusted Funds Flow will result in an equivalent decrease (increase) in forecasted Net Debt.

Commodity Hedging

The following table summarizes the Company's financial risk management contracts in place as of the date hereof:

Other Measurements

All dollar figures included herein are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted. This press release contains various references to the abbreviation "BOE" which means barrels of oil equivalent. Where amounts are expressed on a BOE basis, natural gas volumes have been converted to oil equivalence at six thousand cubic feet (mcf) per barrel (bbl). The term BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead and is significantly different than the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil and natural gas. This conversion factor is an industry accepted norm and is not based on either energy content or current prices. Such abbreviation may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.

References to "oil" or "crude oil" in this press release include light crude oil, medium crude oil, heavy oil and tight oil combined. NI 51-101 includes condensate within the product type of "natural gas liquids". References to "natural gas liquids" or "NGLs" include pentane, butane, propane and ethane. References to "gas" or "natural gas" relates to conventional natural gas. References to "liquids" includes crude oil, condensate and NGLs. The Company has disclosed "condensate" separately from other natural gas liquids in this press release since the price of condensate as compared to other natural gas liquids is currently significantly higher and the Company believes that this presentation provides a more accurate description of its operations and results.

This press release discloses Pouce Coupe and Simonette drilling inventory in two categories: (a) booked locations; and (b) unbooked locations. Booked locations are derived from the oil and gas reserves evaluation as of December 31, 2024 as prepared by the Company's independent qualified reserves evaluator, McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd., in accordance with the definitions, standards and procedures contained in the most recent publication of the COGEH and NI 51-101 and account for drilling locations that have associated proved and/or probable reserves, as applicable. Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on the Company's assumptions as to the number of wells that can be drilled per section based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves or resources. Unbooked locations have been identified by management as an estimation of Logan's multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no certainty that the Company will drill all unbooked drilling locations and if drilled there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. The drilling locations on which the Company actually drills wells will ultimately depend upon the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, seasonal restrictions, oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results, additional reservoir information that is obtained and other factors. While certain of the unbooked drilling locations have been de-risked by drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such unbooked drilling locations, the majority of other unbooked drilling locations are farther away from existing wells where management has less information about the characteristics of the reservoir and therefore there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production.
