Indonesia Energy To Commence Drilling of Two Back-To-Back New Wells Within 30 Days and a Third by Mid-Year

New Production Anticipated to Bring IEC to Cash Flow Positive Operations

JAKARTA, INDONESIA and DANVILLE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 26, 2022 / Indonesia Energy Corporation Limited (NYSE American:INDO) (IEC), an oil and gas exploration and production company focused on Indonesia, today provided an update on its 2022 drilling plans by announcing that it expects to commence drilling of its next two (2) new wells at IEC's 63,000-acre Kruh Block within 30 days. Additionally; IEC plans to commence drilling of a third new well at Kruh Block before the end of the second quarter.

Drilling operations for these three new wells (named "Kruh 27", "Kruh 28" and "Kruh 29") are being funded from the net proceeds of IEC's recently announced new institutional investor financing.

Last month, IEC announced that its recently completed "Kruh 26" well increased its daily oil production rate by over 50%.

Assuming the drilling campaigns for Kruh 27 and Kruh 28 yield producing wells, IEC's production target is to be producing approximately 450 barrels of oils per day after completion of Kruh 27 and Kruh 28. Based on current oil prices, this production is anticipated to result in IEC having cash flow positive operations. The addition of a producing Kruh 29 well would enhance IEC's cash flow from operations later this year.

The new wells will cost approximately $1.5 million each to drill and complete (matching IEC's planned drilling budget). Based on the terms of IEC's contract with the Indonesian government and an assumed oil price of $80 per barrel, these wells are each expected to generate approximately $1.5 million in net revenue in their first year, which is enough to recover the cost of drilling the wells.

Mr. Frank Ingriselli, IEC's President, commented "We are excited that our recent financing enables us to commence drilling next month and to aggressively move our company towards a potential cash flow positive position, setting the stage for further drilling and growth for our company in 2022 and beyond. We believe Kruh Block is a world class asset that should significantly grow our cash flow as we drill additional wells and seek to maximize returns on our investments and grow shareholder value."
