SUBJECT: VERDE BIO HOLDINGS

SEC RESERVES EVALUATION AS OF MAY 1, 2021

 

 

Mr. Cox,

 

Mire Petroleum Consultants (MPC) has evaluated the oil and gas reserves as of May 1, 2021, for the Verde Bio Holdings, Inc. (VBH) properties in Oklahoma, Louisiana, West Virginia, Colorado, Texas, and Wyoming. Reserves and cash flows were generated for the VBH interests using SEC pricing ($43.44/barrel and $2.22/MMBTU). These estimates were done as per the Securities and Exchange Commission’s standards as described in the December 2008 amendment of Section 210.4-10 of Regulation S – X. This report is provided to VBH to satisfy the requirements contained in Item 1202(a)(8) of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K.

 

 

As of May 1, 2021, we estimate net proved reserves to be 29,590 barrels of oil and 123,770 MCF of gas. Discounted (10%) net present value of the proved reserves is $895,490.

 

Total proved, probable and possible reserves were also evaluated.

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

Verde Bio Holdings, Inc. has mineral and royalty interests in several properties across six (6)

U.S. states. A total of three hundred and sixty-six (366) reserves cases have been identified and evaluated. These include producing, non-producing and undeveloped wells or leases. A summary of the proved, probable and possible reserves and value is shown in Table 1.

AVAILABLE DATA

 

Public production data was available for most of the leases through March 2021. Public land maps, well permitting and other well data was available. Revenue checks, assignments and property descriptions were also provided by VBH for most of the properties.

 

 

METHOD OF APPRAISAL

 

The purpose of this report is to estimate oil and gas reserves for Verde Bio Holdings, Inc. using industry standard assumptions and methods. The properties have been evaluated based on future net cash flow or income. This income will accrue to the appraised interest as the wells are produced to their economic limits. The future net income has also been shown discounted at ten (10%) percent to determine its present worth as required by Regulation S - X.

 

 

RESERVES EVALUATION

 

 

For the cash flow analysis an oil price of $43.44 per barrel and gas price of $2.22 per MMBTU were used. These prices are based on the last twelve-month prices as specified by SEC rules. Local field price differentials were also applied, and average realized prices after differentials are $39.49 per barrel of oil and $2.15 per MMBTU of gas. These prices were held constant (no escalations).

Ownership values for the properties were determined from revenue statements, lease and well assignments and other data by MPC. Verde Bio Holdings confirmed these ownership interests.

 

The estimates shown in this report are for proved, probable and possible reserves. Reserve categorization conveys the relative degree of certainty; reserves subcategorization is based on development and production status. The estimates of reserves and future revenue included herein have not been adjusted for risk.

 

SUMMARY

 

Reserves were estimated for the wells and leases by using engineering and geologic methods widely accepted in the industry. For the producing reservoirs, performance methods were used to estimate reserves. For non-producing or undeveloped cases volumetric calculations or analogy to similar reserves or wells was used to estimate reserves. Extrapolations were made of various historical data including operating expenses, production taxes and oil, gas and water production.

 

MPC have made use of all data, appropriate methods, and procedures that are needed to prepare this report according to SEC regulation S-X Section 210.4-10 as amended on December 2008. All estimates are a function of the quality of the available data and are subject to the existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations in effect at the time of the report. The reserves presented in this report are estimates only and should not be interpreted as being exact amounts. Actual volumes recovered could be higher or lower than estimated.

 

Not only are our reserves and revenue estimates based on that information, which is currently available, but also our estimates are subject to the uncertainties inherent in the application of judgmental factors in interpreting such information. New regulations could have an adverse effect on the reserves calculated in this report.
