Production Growth and Highlights
In 2024, Condor achieved remarkable production levels in Uzbekistan, averaging 10,511 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) in the fourth quarter. This figure was primarily driven by the extraction of natural gas, significantly contributing to the company’s revenue. For March 2025, the production rates saw a robust increase, averaging 12,019 boe/d due to successful and capital-efficient workover operations, demonstrating the effectiveness of the company’s operational strategies.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Condor's gas and condensate sales in Uzbekistan amounted to $20.93 million, reflecting the strong demand and pricing environment for natural gas in the region. These sales were underpinned by ongoing efficiency upgrades and a multi-well workover initiative that began in June 2024, leading to increased production capacities.
Strategic Developments in Kazakhstan
During 2024, Condor also expanded its footprint in Kazakhstan with significant developments. The company secured two natural gas allocations, which will serve as vital feed gas for its upcoming modular LNG production facilities. This strategic move aligns with its mission to introduce liquefied natural gas (LNG) to various sectors such as rail transportation in Kazakhstan.
In July, the company formalized its first LNG Framework Agreement for producing LNG to fuel Kazakhstan's rail locomotives—a pivotal step in promoting cleaner alternatives in the transportation sector. Through this agreement, Condor is positioned to become a key supplier of LNG, enhancing its role in the energy landscape.
Financial Performance Analysis
As of December 31, 2024, Condor's total proved plus probable reserves in Uzbekistan were estimated at an impressive 18.5 million boe, as assessed by the independent reserves evaluator, McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. This solid reserve base boosts investor confidence and supports the company's ongoing production strategies.
From a financial standpoint, Condor executed a brokered private placement in December 2024, achieving net proceeds of $18.1 million from the sale of over 10 million common shares. These funds are intended to support ongoing operational initiatives and projects aimed at enhancing production and expanding reserves.
Looking Forward: 2025 and Beyond

This initiative not only diversifies Condor's portfolio but aligns with global trends focusing on mineral security and sustainability.
The exploration activities target valuable minerals, including lithium and rubidium, which are crucial for developing electric vehicle batteries and other technological applications. By investing in these resources, Condor positions itself as a multi-faceted player in the energy and minerals markets.
