VANCOUVER, BC , Oct. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - LiTHOS Energy Ltd. (the "Company" or "LiTHOS") (CSE: LITS) (OTCQB: LITSF) is pleased to announce that the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Reservoir Imaging Solutions ("RIS") finalized its non-audited December 31, 2022 year end financials and delivered C$1,187,412 (US$870,845) in revenue, C$268,823 ($197,154) of gross income, and a net profit of C$91,896 (US$67,396). The financials of RIS will be audited and then included on the consolidated financial statements of the Company in due course.

In 2022, RIS's largest customer was Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE: DVN). RIS also delivered successful demonstration projects in 2022 with Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) EOG Resources Inc. (NYSE: EOG) and Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES).

Q3 of 2023 has seen substantial customer growth by adding Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: OXY), ExxonMobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM), and SM Energy Co. (NYSE: SM) as paying customers under contract.

RIS sells a niche proprietary technology into the unconventional energy space called Conductive Fracture Imaging ("CFI"). CFI enables direct imaging of the conductive portion of hydraulic fractures using passive microseismic events as active sources. CFI provides a high-resolution image of the inner part of a conductive reservoir zone. It allows one to look inside a reservoir with a precision of 2 meters. CFI is most widely used to image the hydraulic and conductive fracture geometries in unconventional reservoirs in the United States. CFI is also applicable to other energy verticals such as: (i) imaging the production of lithium from highly conductive continental brine reservoirs (ii) imaging the production from induced fractures from enhanced geothermal reservoirs and (iii) imaging and verifying containment for Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage ("CCUS") projects.

Scott Taylor, CEO of stated: "CFI is a highly differentiated technology that permits cost-effective, direct imaging of the conductive regions of any fluid filled reservoir. We are pleased with the customer growth and look forward to delivering successful projects in new verticals like geothermal, CCUS, and imaging production from lithium enriched continental brines."

RIS will be delivering a keynote presentation at the prestigious Society of Petroleum Engineers Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference and Exhibition that will take place on 6–8 February 2024 at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center in The Woodlands, TX. This conference showcases the best of existing and new hydraulic fracturing technologies, using experiences from fracture-stimulated wells, and the application of global learnings. Specifically, the keynote presentation will be a published peer-reviewed technical paper on the validation of CFI as a cost-effective technology to image the conductive segments of a reservoir which contribute to production.

Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable and reflect expectations of future developments and other factors which management believes to be reasonable and relevant, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as: "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "estimates", "plans", "may", "should", "would", "will", "potential", "scheduled" or variations of such words and phrases and similar expressions, which, by their nature, refer to future events or results that may, could, would, might or will occur or be taken or achieved. In making the forward-looking statements in this news release, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including without limitation, that the Company will be able to receive the audit of RIS' financial statements and consolidate these within its own and that RIS will be successful in delivering on future geothermal, CCUS, and imaging projects.Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such risks and other factors include, but are not limited to, the inability of the Company to change its name.
