Surge Energy America Announces Strong 2025 Sustainability and Financial Performance

Surge Energy US Holdings Company ("Surge Energy" or the "Company") today announced strong sustainability and financial achievements in 2025.

In 2025 the Company continued to deliver strong performance operationally by delivering record annual production and maintaining lease operating expenses unit costs at top tier levels.

In 2025 alone, utilization of pipelines has eliminated over 19 thousand MT of CO2e emissions.
• Prevented over 60 thousand MT of CO2e emissions - since the inception of the Company's dual fuel completion fleet program, the Company has prevented these emissions from entering our atmosphere. In 2025 alone this program eliminated approximately 11 thousand MT of CO2e emissions.
• Focused Plug and Abandonment (P&A) program - Starting in 2023 the Company initiated a plug and abandonment program to reduce our inactive well count and the associated environmental liabilities.
