Kolibri Global Energy Reports Strong Caney Well Results
Early production from a False Caney well and three Clifton Mack wells points to new results from its Oklahoma drilling program.
Updated on Nov. 11, 2026 in Oil and Gas
Kolibri Global Energy reported early production results from its first False Caney well at Tishomingo field in Oklahoma, where the Lovina 5-8-1HF well is averaging 636 boed. The company also reported results from three Clifton Mack wells in the Caney that were drilled using a new fracture stimulation design.
Why it matters
The results give investors and Oklahoma operators an early read on whether the False Caney and Caney formations can deliver strong output. None of Kolibri's current reserves are booked in the False Caney, so the wells' performance could shape future reserve estimates.
Kolibri reports 636 boed from its Lovina 5-8-1HF well and 1,911 boed combined from three Clifton Mack wells, all based on early production rather than long-term output. Whether these rates hold over time, and whether the Clifton Mack acreage will be booked as proved reserves, has not been determined.
The players
Kolibri Global Energy
Kolibri Global Energy is an independent oil and gas company with operations in Oklahoma's Caney and False Caney formations.
The details
Kolibri said the Lovina 5-8-1HF well's 1.2-mile lateral is producing about 545 bpd of oil in the False Caney formation. The company also said the Clifton Mack wells recovered more frac fluid on flowback than earlier Caney wells, which it attributed to a new fracture stimulation design.
Timeline
Kolibri's Lovina 5-8-1HF well is currently reporting early production in the False Caney formation.
Kolibri expects its next reserve report to reflect proved reserves from the Clifton Mack wells.
Season Trajectory
Kolibri's early False Caney and Clifton Mack results extend the ongoing effort to develop the Caney shale play in the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma. Whether the newer fracture design and longer laterals can lift output across the play will determine how much additional acreage operators in the state pursue.
Oklahoma landowners and royalty holders near the Tishomingo field may see drilling activity expand if Kolibri's early results continue. Operators in the state may also watch how the new fracture design performs before adopting it on their own acreage.
The takeaway
Early well results are useful signals, but reserves and long-term output will show whether the Caney and False Caney formations become a durable part of Oklahoma's oil supply. Watching Kolibri's next reserve report will clarify how these wells are valued.
