## Exhibit 99.1

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

**Royale Energy Expands Position in Permian Basin Project**

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- **Royale Energy, Inc.** (OTCQB: ROYL) is pleased to announce the acquisition of additional non-operated working interests in seven producing Barnett wells within the **17,000-acre Pradera Fuego project**, operated by Ares Energy in Ector County, Texas.

With this acquisition, Royale and its outside investors now hold in the aggregate a **7.5% non-operated working interest** across seven producing horizontal Barnett wells, and a 5% working interest in the associated acreage. Royale is currently negotiating a Farm-out agreement to obtain the drilling rights to an additional 2.5% working interest on the acreage. The Pradera Fuego asset provides a **robust development pathway for Royale**, including **39 future Barnett drilling locations** and **44 future Woodford locations**, creating significant long-term growth potential for Royale's investor drilling programs.

At current commodity prices, the acquired producing interests are expected to deliver approximately **$715,000 in additional annual cash flow in the first 12 months**, further strengthening Royale's financial position and supporting its strategy to **expand production and reserves**.

*"With this acquisition, Royale secures immediate production gains and puts us in a position to negotiate additional interest in the deep inventory of high-value drilling locations in an outstanding Permian Basin project. The Barnett and Woodford locations provide a strong foundation for growth across our investor programs for many years," said Johnny Jordan, CEO of Royale Energy.*
