Should l Buy EONR?
EON Resources announced its drilling and production plan for 2026. The company has selected 5 existing vertical wells to recomplete into the San Andres formation to test various completion methods ahead of the planned drilling of 92 new horizontal wells. These well recompletions will be reported in the second quarter at a total estimated cost of $2 million to perforate and frac the 5 wells. "In advance of spending $3.5 million per well to drill and complete the horizontal wells in the San Andres, the results from the 5 vertical wells will help guide us as to best completion practices for the horizontal wells. This information will be valuable to our partner, Virtus, as they prepare to begin drilling the new horizontal wells in the second quarter of this year," said Dante Caravaggio, President and CEO of the Company. EON's Farmout agreement to drill 92 wells with Virtus, has commenced. Funding is in place. The first 10 drill sites have been selected. The initial 3 permits are prepared and submitted to the BLM and the State of New Mexico. The Company expects approval within 90 days. Preparations are underway to commence drilling in Q2 of 2026.

USO, BATL, TPET, EONR Drop in Premarket Trading: Analysts Indicate Decline of Oil 'War Premium' Due to Iran Diplomacy
Oil Market Decline: Major oil stocks and indices experienced significant drops, with BATL falling nearly 10% and USO down about 5%, attributed to weaker production and revenue linked to gas-treating facility curtailments.

Diplomatic Efforts: The U.S. proposed a new diplomatic initiative to end the conflict with Iran, which includes troop deployments and ongoing military operations, while Iran has signaled a willingness to engage in negotiations.
Market Sentiment: Investor sentiment remains bearish for several oil companies, with significant year-over-year gains for BATL, EONR, and USO, while TPE has seen a decline, reflecting the ongoing volatility in the oil market.
