HNR Acquisition Corp Enters into Commitment with First International Bank & Trust for a $28 million Senior Secured Term Loan

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / October 10, 2023 / HNR Acquisition Corp (NYSE American:HNRA) (the "Company" or "HNRA") announces that the company has entered into a binding commitment for a $28 million senior secured term loan with First International Bank & Trust (FIBT) headquartered in Watford City, North Dakota.

The Senior Secured Term Loan

The $28 million secured credit facility will be used to fund a portion of the $90 million purchase price for the acquisition of Pogo Resources, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary LH Operating, LLC, owner of the Grayburg-Jackson oil field. The Grayburg-Jackson field is located in the Permian Basin Eddy County, New Mexico. The Grayburg-Jackson oil field has 95 active waterflood patterns with an additional 158 patterns identified. HNRA management expects to increase the production rate by 2½ times the current production rate of 1400 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day. The three (3) year development and production plan of the Company for the field is to increase the level of production in the Grayburg-Jackson oil field to a minimum level that would exceed 4,000 BOE per day.

"We are extremely fortunate to be involved with FIBT and its experienced management team. Their understanding of our business model and their first-hand knowledge of the petroleum business means a great deal to HNRA. Their acknowledgement of our business plan and models will help us create the foundation for building a growing oil and gas business", said Diego "Dean" Rojas, an Independent Director of the Company with substantial industry experience.

"We take pride in our relationship-based business model and the way we build long-term trust with companies like HNRA. They are a company we expect to have a long and rewarding relationship with. We remain well capitalized and positioned to serve our customers and communities for generations to come", said Steve Stenehjem, CEO/Chairman of First International Bank and Trust. "Over our 113-year history we've built the bank on relationships between our employees and our customers", he continued.
