Pieridae Energy Provides Wildfire Safety Update & Plans Temporary Shut-In of Uneconomic Production

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR
DISSEMINATION IN UNITED STATES

CALGARY, Alberta, May 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pieridae Energy Limited (“Pieridae” or the “Company”) (TSX: PEA) has recently shut-in approximately 750 boe/d production from its Ekwan field in northeast British Columbia due to wildfires burning in the Fort Nelson and Sierra areas. All personnel have been safely evacuated. Pieridae’s Ekwan gas production flows to a third-party processing facility which was also recently shut-in and evacuated by the facility operator. Ekwan production will remain shut-in until it is safe to restart, and necessary third-party infrastructure is returned to service. The Company is not aware of any damage to Company-owned infrastructure or equipment at this time.

Safety remains Pieridae’s top priority, and we will respond to changes in the wildfire situation to protect people, the environment, and the Company’s assets. We are grateful for the men and women fighting wildfires and those supporting evacuees in our communities. Additional safety and operations updates will be provided when significant changes occur.

Additionally, in response to current and forecasted summer AECO natural gas prices, the Company is making arrangements to temporarily shut-in uneconomic sour gas production in its northern Alberta areas of Findley, Lynx and Palliser, prior to the end of May. These areas currently produce approximately 1,000 boe/d of dry natural gas and will be reactivated once natural gas economics improve.

Additional Reader Advisories
Barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

Neither TSX nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
