*For Immediate Release*

**KOLIBRI GLOBAL ENERGY INC. PROVIDES OPERATIONS UPDATE** 

**Thousand Oaks, CALIFORNIA, January 13, 2026** – Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (the "**Company**" or "**Kolibri**") (TSX: KEI, NASDAQ: KGEI) is pleased to provide an operations update on its latest wells in its Tishomingo field in Oklahoma.

BARNES WELLS

The Barnes 6-31-2H and Barnes 6-4H wells (both 100% working interest) have been on production for approximately 30 days. The 1.5 mile lateral, Barnes 6-31-2H well averaged 634 Barrels of oil equivalent per day ("BOEPD") (529 barrels of oil per day ("BOPD") over the last five days and had a 30-day average rate of 529 BOEPD (448 BOPD). The 1 mile lateral Barnes 6-4H well averaged 451 BOEPD (374 BOPD) over the last five days and had a 30-day average rate of 452 BOEPD (374 BOPD). The Barnes wells continue to produce high percentages of oil (~83%), much like the Lovina wells the Company drilled earlier this year.

As expected, the Barnes 6-31-2H production rate has improved since the Company's initial press release and the Barnes 6-4H production has remained quite steady. On a comparable lateral length basis, these wells are producing at a BOEPD rate that is 22% higher than the Lovina wells were producing at the same time in their production life.

VELIN WELLS

The two 1-mile lateral Velin wells (97% working interest), which were fracture stimulated immediately prior to the Barnes wells, and started flowing back after the Barnes wells' fracture stimulations were completed, are continuing to improve. The Velin 12-9H well averaged 283 BOEPD (198 BOPD) over the last five days and had a 30-day average rate of 257 BOEPD (187 BOPD). The Velin 12-10H well averaged 233 BOEPD (166 BOPD) over the last five days and had a 30-day average rate of 176 BOEPD (125 BOPD).

The Velin wells are still improving and continue to act differently than the typical wells in the field. There are some differences between these wells and the Company's offsetting wells. One is that the Velin wells were shut in longer than our normal time after fracture stimulations were complete. This was due to the close proximity of all four wellbores, and as a result, the wells needed to stay shut-in while the Barnes wells were being fracture stimulated. While that is standard industry practice, it may be a contributing factor to the lower early production rates and the slower cleanup. Additionally, while the formation analysis of these wells is comparable to that of the offsetting wells, there is the presence of increased natural healed fractures and small-scale faulting, which appears unique to this location, potentially due to being adjacent to a large structural uplift.

Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented, "It is great to see the wells improve further from our early press release and that the Barnes wells have the high oil percentage similar to the Lovina wells we drilled earlier in the year, which helps improve the Company's netbacks. The Company's oil production mix for the month of November was over 75% compared to the third quarter oil mix of 66%.

"We also anticipate that the high oil percentage will lead to lower decline rates, much like the Lovina wells have demonstrated, which is resulting in the strong forecasted internal rate of return (IRR) as we noted in our December 22, 2025, press release.

"The Company continues to buyback shares in the market and is planning to pay down our line of credit in the first quarter."

**Cautionary Statements**

In this news release and the Company's other public disclosure:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The
 Company's natural gas production is reported in thousands of cubic feet ("Mcfs").
 The Company also uses references to barrels ("Bbls") and barrels of oil equivalent
 ("Boes") to reflect natural gas liquids and oil production and sales. Boes may
 be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 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. Given that the value ratio based
 on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from
 the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as
 an indication of value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Discounted
 and undiscounted net present value of future net revenues attributable to reserves do not
 represent fair market value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The
 Company discloses peak and 30-day initial production rates and other short-term production
 rates. Readers are cautioned that such production rates are preliminary in nature and are
 not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) "Oil"
 refers to light crude oil and medium crude oil combined, and "natural gas" refers
 to shale gas, in each case as defined by NI 51-101. Production from our wells, primarily
 disclosed in this news release in BOEs, consists of mainly oil and associated wet gas. The
 wet gas is delivered via gathering system and then pipelines to processing plants where it
 is treated and sold as natural gas and NGLs.
