The following table summarizes selected highlights for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023:

OPERATIONS UPDATE

Logan has successfully completed its drilling and completion program for the 2024 onstream wells.

At Pouce Coupe, the three well "7-12" pad was brought onstream in mid-May. For the first 60 days on production, the pad averaged 422 bbls/d of oil, 12 bbls/d of NGLs and 1.5 mmcf/d of natural gas (685 BOE/d, 63% liquids) per well. Initial performance of the 7-12 pad is consistent with our budgeted type curves despite flowing against substantially elevated system pressure due to constrained infrastructure. This elevated gathering system pressure is expected to persist until Logan's planned new Pouce Coupe gas plant is operational.

At Simonette, Logan brought onstream the three well "4-10" pad in mid-July and began flowing back the single well at Lator in late July. Logan will provide additional details on these wells upon receiving sufficient production data in future updates.

Logan plans to resume drilling in the fourth quarter for its 2025 program.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Upsized Credit Facility

Effective August 21, 2024, the Company's lender increased the authorized borrowing amount available under its revolving demand credit facility from $50.0 million to $75.0 million. The next scheduled borrowing base review is set to occur in May 2025. The terms of the credit facility are otherwise unchanged.

Commodity Hedging Update

In August 2024, the Company entered into a derivative financial contract to fix the price of WTI crude oil at CA$102.05 per barrel on a notional 500 barrels per day for calendar year 2025. The contract price represented a premium of approximately CA$5.75 per barrel relative to WTI strip pricing at the time of entering the swap. To earn this premium, the Company also sold monthly call options on an incremental 500 barrels per day of WTI crude oil at CA$102.05 per barrel for calendar year 2025.

EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS

The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Brendan Paton (currently Vice President, Engineering and COO) has been promoted to President and COO. Richard McHardy will continue as Chief Executive Officer and will continue to be involved in the execution of the Company's strategic growth plans and the day-to-day operations of the Company.

READER ADVISORIES

Non-GAAP Measures and Ratios

This press release contains certain financial measures and ratios which do not have standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards"), also known as Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). As these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are commonly used in the oil and gas industry, Logan believes that their inclusion is useful to investors. The reader is cautioned that these amounts may not be directly comparable to measures for other companies where similar terminology is used.

The non-GAAP measures and ratios used in this press release, represented by the capitalized and defined terms outlined below, are used by Logan as key measures of financial performance and are not intended to represent operating profits nor should they be viewed as an alternative to cash provided by operating activities, net income or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS.

The definitions below should be read in conjunction with the "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" section of the Company's MD&A dated August 21, 2024, which includes discussion of the purpose and composition of the specified financial measures and detailed reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Operating Income and Operating Netback

Operating Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful supplemental measure that provides an indication of the Company's ability to generate cash from field operations, prior to administrative overhead, financing and other business expenses. "Operating Income, before hedging" is calculated by Logan as oil and gas sales, net of royalties, plus processing and other revenue, less operating and transportation expenses. "Operating Income, after hedging" is calculated by adjusting Operating Income, before hedging for realized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments.

The Company refers to Operating Income expressed per unit of production as an "Operating Netback" and reports the Operating Netback before and after hedging, both of which are non-GAAP financial ratios. Logan considers Operating Netback an important measure to evaluate its operational performance as it demonstrates its field level profitability relative to current commodity prices.

Adjusted Funds Flow

Cash provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable measure to Adjusted Funds Flow. "Adjusted Funds Flow" is reconciled to cash provided by operating activities by excluding changes in non-cash working capital, adding back transaction costs on acquisitions (if applicable). Logan utilizes Adjusted Funds Flow as a key performance measure in the Company's annual financial forecasts and public guidance.

The Company refers to Adjusted Funds Flow expressed per unit of production as an "Adjusted Funds Flow Netback".

Capital Expenditures before A&D

"Capital Expenditures before A&D" is used by Logan to measure its capital investment level compared to the Company's annual budgeted capital expenditures for its organic drilling program. It includes capital expenditures on exploration and evaluation assets and property, plant and equipment, before acquisitions and dispositions. The directly comparable GAAP measure to capital expenditures is cash used in investing activities.

Net Debt

Throughout this press release, references to "Net Debt" includes bank debt (if any), net of Adjusted Working Capital. Net Debt and Adjusted Working Capital are both non-GAAP financial measures. "Adjusted Working Capital" is calculated as current liabilities less current assets, excluding derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities and the current portion of bank debt (if any).

Supplementary Financial Measures

The supplementary financial measures used in this press release (primarily average sales price per product type and certain per BOE and per share figures) are either a per unit disclosure of a corresponding GAAP measure, or a component of a corresponding GAAP measure, presented in the financial statements. Supplementary financial measures that are disclosed on a per unit basis are calculated by dividing the aggregate GAAP measure (or component thereof) by the applicable unit for the period. Supplementary financial measures that are disclosed on a component basis of a corresponding GAAP measure are a granular representation of a financial statement line item and are determined in accordance with GAAP.

Other Measurements

All dollar figures included herein are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted. This press release contains various references to the abbreviation "BOE" which means barrels of oil equivalent. Where amounts are expressed on a BOE basis, natural gas volumes have been converted to oil equivalence at six thousand cubic feet (mcf) per barrel (bbl). The term BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead and is significantly different than the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil and natural gas. This conversion factor is an industry accepted norm and is not based on either energy content or current prices. Such abbreviation may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.

References to "oil" in this press release include light crude oil, medium crude oil, heavy oil and tight oil combined. NI 51-101 includes condensate within the product type of "natural gas liquids". References to "natural gas liquids" or "NGLs" include pentane, butane, propane and ethane. References to "gas" or "natural gas" relates to conventional natural gas. References to "liquids" includes crude oil, condensate and NGLs.

References in this press release to peak rates, peak monthly production, first 60 days of production, producing day rates and other short-term production rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will commence production and decline thereafter and are not indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production of Logan.
