NG ENERGY SUCCESSFULLY TESTS 11.2, 18.2 AND 21.2 MMSCF/D FROM 3 ZONES RESPECTIVELY IN THE CIENAGA DE ORO FORMATION AT BRUJO-1X

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 22, 2022 /CNW/ - NG Energy International Corp. ("NGE" or the "Company") (TSXV: GASX) (OTCQX: GASXF), further to the Company's press release on November 15, 2022 in which it announced positive test results at the Brujo-1x well, the Company, in development of the SN-9 E&P Contract and under the agreements with CleanEnergy Resources ("CleanEnergy", and together with NGE the "Companies"), is pleased to announce completion of testing of the Brujo-1X well. The Companies conducted 4 Drill Stem Tests ("DSTs"), with 3 successful DSTs in the intermediate and upper section of the Ciénaga de Oro ("CDO") formation. A total of 276.5 feet (out of a total of 389 feet of prospective gas-bearing thickness in the CDO formation) were perforated with gas production rates; 11.2 MMscf/d from DST-2, 18.2 MMscf/d from DST-3 and 21.2 MMscf/d from DST-4.

Based on the successful tests in the CDO formation, the Companies have decided to analyze the best way to complete the well and test the remaining prospective zones, including 103 ft of thickness in the Porquero formation, to achieve the maximum possible production from the three zones, which aggregates an anticipated 51 MMscf/d. Hechicero-1X will be the next well drilled from the same pad as Brujo-1X with all approvals in place from the ANH to commence drilling.

Chief Executive Officer of NGE, Serafino Iacono, commented "After the successful results of Magico-1X well, we are very excited about these new results with the Brujo-1X in SN-9 block identifying a new area with greater exploration potential. Back-to-back success of this magnitude brings the Company a step closer to delineating a new prolific field in the Lower Magdalena basin. This is very positive to the Country and in line with the new government energy transition policies."

Note: The currently planned completion technique, as well as the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos regulations, will not allow the Company to produce from all three zones at the same time.

The Companies report the following results from the four tests:

DST-1

DST-1 was conducted on November 3 and 4, 2022 in the basal zone of the CDO formation, between 6,127 and 6,789 feet MD. A total of 60 feet MD was perforated, but no gas or water was produced. This test is considered inconclusive at this time.

DST-2

DST-2 was conducted on November 8, 2022, in the intermediate zone of the CDO formation, between 5,055 and 5,365 feet MD. A total of 59 feet MD (50.61 feet TVD) was perforated, and the test results are summarized below:

This test produced 3.1306 MMcf of gas and no water over a period of 11.3 hours, including pre-flow rates. 36.8 barrels of load fluid were also recovered. The specific gravity of the gas from this test is 0.56044.

NOTE: The above data should be considered preliminary until pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has been done.

NOTE: The above test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.

DST-3

DST-3 was conducted on November 11, 2022, in the upper zone of the CDO formation, between 4,563.5 and 4,910 feet MD. A total of 136 feet MD (119.35 feet TVD) was perforated, and the test results are summarized below:

This test produced 6.2279 MMcf of gas and no water over a period of 15.1 hours, including pre-flow rates. 24.3 barrels of load fluid were also recovered. The specific gravity of the gas from this test is 0.56044.

NOTE: The above data should be considered preliminary until pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has been done.

NOTE: The above test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.

DST-4

DST-4 was conducted on November 15, 2022, in the upper zone of the CDO formation, between 4,086 and 4,530 feet MD. A total of 81.5 feet MD (71.39 feet TVD) was perforated, and the test results are summarized below:

This test produced 5.4742 MMcf of gas and no water over a period of 13.6 hours, including pre-flow rates. 11.58 barrels of load fluid were also recovered. The specific gravity of the gas from this test is 0.56044.

NOTE: The above data should be considered preliminary until pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has been done.

NOTE: The above test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.
