MIDLAND, Texas, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Bridge Hydrocarbons, Inc. ("Next Bridge," "our," "we," or the "Company"), an oil and natural gas exploration and production company with interests in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma announced today the following:

The Company is disappointed to announce University Lands' decision not to extend our subsidiary's Development Unit Agreement for the Orogrande asset, which expires on December 31, 2024. University Lands has also sought to terminate the Development Unit Agreement effective immediately, which the Company has not agreed to do.

While disappointing, I would like to assure our loyal shareholders that we as a company will continue boldly moving forward. We have worked these last months to expand and diversify Next Bridge and our company portfolio goes beyond the Orogrande asset. I look forward to providing updates in the weeks and months to come of our progress and new direction."
