About Prairie


Prairie Operating Co. (NASDAQ: PROP) is an independent energy company focused on the responsible development of oil and natural gas resources in the United States.


With the re-election of President Trump comes a major focus on American energy independence – and Prairie is uniquely positioned to capitalize on it.


The company currently holds roughly 44,0000 net acres in the Denver Julesburg (“DJ”) Basin of Colorado that its experienced management team is developing with next–generation technology and techniques in an environmentally efficient manner.


This promising asset base holds the potential to deliver meaningful shareholder value through continued growth, capital discipline, and sustainable cash flow generation.


And that value could materialize even quicker, thanks to the company’s recently announced $1 billion reserve-based lending facility, which provides the financial flexibility to accelerate growth via acquisitions.


4 Reasons why Prairie Operating Co. (NASDAQ: PROP) is in prime position to experience a surge in growth and shareholder value:

Rapidly Increasing Production: With the recent on-time completion of its initial eight-well Shelduck South pad in the DJ Basin, Prairie is already rapidly increasing production. But that’s just the beginning…

Stacked with Additional Growth Potential: Prairie boasts 501 identified locations, close to prominent multi-billion-dollar market cap operators like Chevron Corporation (CVX), Civitas Resources, Inc. (CIVI), EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG), and Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY). Prairie’s current acreage includes 169 locations that are fully permitted. All told, the company’s acreage provides in excess of 10 years of development of proven reserves, equal to about 25 MMboes (million barrels of oil equivalent).

Deep Management Expertise: The executive team (details below) has a successful track record of growing multiple public companies from early stage to nearly billion-dollar enterprise values.

Rapidly Growing, But Deeply Undervalued: With expected production growth of approximately 300% year-over-year, the company’s trading at approximately 1 times projected EBITDA compared to its peers trading at upwards of 3 to 4 times.
