U.S. Energy Corp. (USEG) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

You're looking at how U.S. Energy Corp. (USEG) can squeeze more out of what it already has-the Market Penetration strategy.

The focus here is on the existing oil and gas footprint in the Rockies and Mid-Continent. The goal is to push production harder from these current assets. For the second quarter of 2025, total hydrocarbon production was approximately 48,816 BOE.

A key action is expense control. You need to watch the Lease Operating Expense (LOE) like a hawk. For Q2 2025, the LOE was optimized to \$32.14 per BOE. This compares to \$27.69 per BOE in the prior year, showing a rise in cost per unit, likely due to the asset mix shift following divestitures.

Capital allocation is tight, so it goes where the money is. The strategy directs funds to the best performers; existing oil wells accounted for 91% of total Q2 2025 revenue. Total oil and gas sales for that quarter were approximately \$2.0 million.

To counter the natural decline in older wells, U.S. Energy Corp. is planning to implement Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques. This is tied directly to the new industrial gas project, as the captured CO₂ stream will support EOR on legacy oil and gas assets.

Here is a quick look at the Q2 2025 operational snapshot that grounds these penetration efforts:

Increasing working interests in non-operated wells is a direct lever for boosting oil revenue, which is the current cash engine. The balance sheet supports this focus, as U.S. Energy Corp. reported no debt outstanding on its \$20,000,000 revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2025.

The actions supporting this market penetration quadrant include:

• Maximizing output from Rockies and Mid-Continent assets.
• Driving down LOE from the current \$32.14 per BOE.
• Allocating capital to the 91% revenue-generating oil wells.
• Using captured CO₂ for EOR on current fields.
• Increasing working interests in proven non-operated wells.

The total LOE for the quarter was \$1.6 million, and cash G&A expenses were approximately \$1.7 million.

U.S. Energy Corp. (USEG) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at how U.S. Energy Corp. (USEG) plans to take its current, focused industrial gas product-helium and CO2-to new buyers and potentially new geographies, using the financial strength it built up from prior asset sales.

The foundation for this market development is your balance sheet. As of the second quarter of 2025, U.S. Energy Corp. (USEG) remained entirely debt-free. This zero debt position is a major enabler for financing strategic moves. You ended the second quarter of 2025 with approximately $26.7 million in available liquidity, which is the capital you can deploy for new market entry or asset purchases in new states. This contrasts with the first quarter of 2025, where liquidity stood at approximately $30.5 million.

Regarding new markets for industrial gas sales, management indicated a target for securing helium offtake agreements outside of Montana by the end of 2025. This is the near-term action to establish a market beyond the immediate operational area.

The current hydrocarbon business, which is being strategically reduced, still provides a baseline cash flow against which new market development is measured. Here's a look at the key numbers from the first half of 2025:

The focus on infrastructure build-out in Montana is also a market development play, as the plant is designed to handle more than just internal production. The initial gas processing plant construction, set to begin in July 2025, has a capital cost of approximately $15 million and is designed to process 17.0 MMcf/d. First revenues from this facility are projected for the first half of 2026.

For the other strategic avenues mentioned, here are the known facts related to the current operational focus:

• No additional drilling is planned for the remainder of 2025, shifting capital focus to monetization and infrastructure.
• The company has advanced the design and planning of its initial processing facility, which will support third-party volumes, creating potential for tolling agreements.
• The company is progressing on its carbon management platform, which includes a projected annual sequestration capacity of up to 240,000 metric tons of CO₂.
• The company repurchased 832,000 shares year-to-date (as of Q1 2025) as part of its capital allocation strategy.

Exploring international markets for core oil and gas products remains a thought, but current public disclosures focus entirely on the Montana industrial gas assets and the monetization of legacy assets within the US.

U.S. Energy Corp. (USEG) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

Finalizing the commercial resource report and processing facility development for the Montana industrial gas project is a core Product Development activity for U.S. Energy Corp. (USEG). The Ryder Scott resource report confirmed contingent resources of 1.28 BCF of net helium and 443.8 BCF of net $\text{CO}_2$ in the initial target area. U.S. Energy Corp. (USEG) is planning to break ground on the Kevin Dome processing plant in September 2025, with construction costs estimated to be between \$10.0-15.0 million or 'under \$10 million'. The facility is targeted to come online in Spring 2026 or mid-year 2026, with an initial capacity to process roughly 8.0-10 Mmcf per day. Once operational, this facility is projected to generate annual helium revenues between \$15-20 million.

Monetization of the $\text{CO}_2$ stream is tied directly to the gas composition from the Kevin Dome wells. The Kiefer Farms well, acquired in January 2025, showed helium concentrations of approximately 0.6%. Other recently drilled wells in the Duperow formation showed helium concentrations in the 0.4%-0.5% range. The gas stream processed by the facility is expected to yield a composition of about 85.2% $\text{CO}_2$, 0.47% helium, and 5% natural gas from the three productive wells. The carbon management component involves sequestering captured $\text{CO}_2$; the company has achieved sustained injection rates over 17.0 MMcf/d across two wells, supporting an annual sequestration capacity of approximately 240,000 metric tons of $\text{CO}_2$.

U.S. Energy Corp. (USEG) is developing new industrial gas products beyond just helium, focusing on the captured $\text{CO}_2$ for commercial use. The processing plant is designed to separate the gas into three distinct monetization pathways: helium recovery, natural gas sales, and $\text{CO}_2$ management. The company is evaluating potential merchant $\text{CO}_2$ sales opportunities, citing coastal supply shortages.

The strategy includes introducing carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) infrastructure services to regional third-party producers. This is supported by an acquisition in April 2025 that added approximately 2,300 net acres with $\text{CO}_2$ rights and an active, EPA-permitted Class II injection well for sequestration. The company plans to submit a Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) plan to the EPA for this well in Q2 2025.

The capital raise in January 2025 provided funds to directly invest in new drilling. U.S. Energy Corp. (USEG) secured total net proceeds of approximately \$12.1 million from the underwritten public offering, which included the exercise of the over-allotment option. These proceeds are earmarked to fund growth capital for industrial gas development, including new wells and processing plant equipment. The budget for two new development wells drilled in July 2025 was approximately \$1.2 million each. The company also spent \$2.0 million in cash during the first half of 2025 to acquire additional acreage and one productive industrial gas well.

• Drilled three high-deliverability wells in the Duperow Formation by July 2025.
• Combined peak production rate from three wells reached 12.2 MMcf/d.
• Acquired 2,300 net acres and a Class II injection well in April 2025 for \$0.2 million.
• Company cash balance as of June 30, 2025, was \$6.7 million.
• Quarterly burn rates expected to be under \$1.0 million per quarter.

U.S. Energy Corp. (USEG) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how U.S. Energy Corp. (USEG) is moving beyond its traditional footprint, which is smart given the volatility in commodity prices we saw earlier in 2025.

Carbon Management Division and Sequestration Services

U.S. Energy Corp. is establishing a dedicated Carbon Management division, directly supported by recent asset purchases. This move is anchored by an April 2025 acquisition for $0.2 million which brought in an active Class II injection well and approximately 2,300 net acres of $\text{CO}_2$ rights in the Kevin Dome structure in Montana. This infrastructure is designed to support the company's planned industrial gas processing facility. The company is already demonstrating capacity in this area; as of Q3 2025, U.S. Energy Corp. is sustaining injection of 17.0 MMcf/d across two Company-owned wells, which equates to approximately 240,000 metric tons of $\text{CO}_2$ sequestered annually. This figure aligns with the internal projection that the Q1 2025 acquisition is expected to support permanent sequestration of 240,000 metric tons annually.

The strategy involves providing full-cycle carbon solutions, which means capturing $\text{CO}_2$ from their own operations and potentially external sources. The gas stream from their newly drilled wells shows a composition of approximately 85% $\text{CO}_2$. To monetize the sequestration efforts via federal credits, the company submitted its Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) plan to the EPA in October 2025, with approval anticipated by Spring-Summer 2026. Furthermore, they are preparing a second MRV plan specifically for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) operations, targeting a submission in December 2025.

Here's a snapshot of the industrial gas and carbon platform as of late 2025:

Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Exploration

U.S. Energy Corp. is exploring diversification away from commodity price swings by looking at renewable energy asset acquisition, though specific financial details on geothermal or solar purchases haven't been made public yet. The company's current focus is on building out its industrial gas platform, which centers on helium and $\text{CO}_2$ separation. This existing infrastructure and expertise, however, positions them to explore a hydrogen business line down the road. The development of the gas processing facility, set to begin construction in 2H2025, is key to this future optionality.

The strategic direction involves:

• Exploring renewable energy asset acquisition for diversification.
• Developing a new business line focused on hydrogen production.
• Leveraging existing gas infrastructure and expertise.
• Maintaining a debt-free balance sheet, with Q3 2025 liquidity at approximately $11.4 million.

The company's Q2 2025 revenue was reported at $2.21 million, showing the current scale while they execute this diversification strategy.
