New Acquisitions Announcement

We are pleased to announce that WRP VIII has acquired five additional Permian and Bakken wells, expanding the portfolio with projects operated by Crescent Energy (NYSE: CRGY), Devon Energy (Nasdaq: DVN), Silver Hill Energy Partners, and Iron Oil. In addition to these newly acquired projects, WRP VIII has two pending Bakken transactions totaling nine additional wells for the portfolio.

As of this announcement, Crescent, Devon, Iron Oil, and Silver Hill have commenced drilling their respective projects. Initial production from the newly acquired projects is forecast for the fourth quarter of this year and the first quarter of 2027.

These additions further diversify WRP VIII across two core U.S. oil basins and increase exposure to both public and privately held operators with active development programs.

With these acquisitions, WRP VIII now has 68 wells in its portfolio, further expanding its position across the Bakken and Permian basins.

*BOEPD = Barrels of Oil Equivalent Per Day, net to the Fund

The Fund’s strategy focuses on aggregating oil and gas assets located in the core of the Bakken Shale in North Dakota and the Permian Basin in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico. Our objective is to generate quarterly cash distributions from net operating income and grow asset value by reinvesting a portion of that income to make additional acquisitions and drill new wells, building value toward a profitable exit.
