ASX Announcement

-
The Varn JVU-5 well has been completed as a production well, a rod pump has been installed and the well has been tied in to Varn oil production battery.
-
Initial average oil rate of 25 barrels per day and a water rate of 74 barrels per day (first full 7 days of production)
Winchester Energy Limited (ASX: WEL) ( Company ) is pleased to advise that the JVU-5 production well has commenced production from the Varn Oil Field, located within the in Taylor County, Texas. The well has been completed as the second oil producer in the Varn waterflood and tied in to the existing oil production tank battery. Over the first 7 days of full production, the JVU-5 oil production rate was 25 barrels per day and a water rate of 74 barrels per day. This production rate is similar to the initial production rates achieved at the adjacent JVU-6 well and is expected to decline as the well stabilizes. As announced on 22 October 2025, logging of the well identified oil and gas shows in both the upper and lower fry sands in line with pre drilling expectations and consistent with the JVU-6 well. The JVU-6 well’s current oil production rate is 18 barrels per day.
