Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure |
On January 23, 2026, Battalion Oil Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing several operational updates related to its gas treating arrangements and production performance. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.
Item 8.01 | Other Events |
On January 19, 2026, the Company terminated its Gas Treating Agreement (“GTA”) with Wink Amine Treater, LLC (“WAT”) following the continued cessation of operations at WAT’s acid gas injection (“AGI”) facility, which has remained offline since on or about August 11, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the GTA, the Company exercised its contractual right to terminate the agreement due to the continued interruption in service.
Following termination of the GTA, the Company entered into an agreement with a publicly traded large‑cap midstream provider to process the Company’s gas production at an alternative facility. The Company has utilized this provider since the AGI facility went offline, and a significant facility expansion completed in the fourth quarter of 2025 now enables the provider to process substantially all of the Company’s gas volumes from the Monument Draw Field.
As expanded capacity became available, the Company increased production volumes directed to this alternate processing facility throughout late December 2025 and January 2026. Most recently, the facility has processed more than 30 MMcf/d of the Company’s gas production, compared to a December average of approximately 17.4 MMcf/d. This increased processing capability has enhanced flow assurance and operational reliability and has resulted in an increase in the Company’s average oil production of approximately 1,200 net barrels of oil per day month‑to‑date in January 2026 compared to the Company’s December average.
