PEDEVCO Corp. (PED): ANSOFF MATRIX [Dec-2025 Updated]

Honestly, looking at PEDEVCO Corp.'s strategy right after their recent merger, you see a clear, four-part playbook for growth that balances the immediate need to drill better with big future bets. They are laser-focused on squeezing more out of their existing D-J and Permian assets-like pushing high-value liquids, which made up 84% of Q3 2025 production-while simultaneously eyeing expansion into new US basins using their $250 million RBL facility. Plus, they are testing the waters in cleaner tech, from EOR to a minority stake in a solar project, using that $10 million cash balance for infrastructure plays. It's a balanced playbook for an energy player right now. You'll want to see the specific actions they're taking in each quadrant below.

PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

You're looking at how PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) can drive more revenue from its existing assets, which is the heart of Market Penetration. This means maximizing what you already own in the D-J Basin and the Permian Basin, plus integrating that big Juniper deal.

For existing assets, the focus is on getting more out of the ground right now. PEDEVCO Corp. produced an average of 1,471 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD) in the three months ended September 30, 2025 (Q3 2025). That production mix was heavily weighted toward higher-value products, with liquids comprising 84% of total production in Q3 2025.

Here's a look at the operational focus areas for this strategy:

• Accelerate drilling on D-J Basin acres; as of December 31, 2024, PEDEVCO Corp. held approximately 18,669 net D-J Basin acres.
• Optimize production from the four new Permian horizontal wells, which received first production starting in May 2025.
• Integrate Juniper assets to achieve economies of scale defintely; the merger completed October 31, 2025, increasing current production to over 6,500 BOEPD.
• Focus capital on high-value liquids, which were 84% of Q3 2025 production.
• Reduce lease operating expenses via new lift conversions in the Permian.

The effort to optimize the Permian assets involved capital spending, which you can see reflected in the operating expenses. Total Lease Operating Expenses (LOE) for Q3 2025 were $2.1 million, a decrease of $0.5 million compared to Q3 2024. However, overall Operating Expenses for Q3 2025 rose 12% to $7.8 million compared to Q3 2024.

That increase in operating expenses ties directly to the capital deployment for optimization. Here's the quick math on where that expense increase came from:

The company is actively bringing on new production from the D-J Basin, which will feed into this market penetration strategy for the near term. PEDEVCO Corp. participated in drilling several non-operated wells in the D-J Basin that are expected to come online in Q4 2025, including:

• Eight 2.5 mile lateral wells with a ~7.5% working interest.
• Three 2.5 mile lateral and one 3 mile U-shaped lateral wells with a ~46% working interest.

If onboarding takes 14+ days, churn risk rises, but the goal here is to bring these new wells online quickly to boost the 1,471 BOEPD average from Q3 2025. Finance: draft 13-week cash view by Friday.

PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at how PEDEVCO Corp. plans to grow by taking its existing business model-applying modern drilling and completion techniques to legacy conventional assets-into new geographic areas or by expanding its existing market footprint. This is Market Development, and for PEDEVCO Corp., it's heavily focused on the Rockies region following the transformative merger in November 2025.

The core of this strategy involves expanding the acreage base and operational reach within the proven basins where PEDEVCO Corp. already operates, which are the D-J Basin and the Powder River Basin. The company's strategic focus is to position itself as the Premier Publicly-Traded Rockies-Focused Oil & Gas Operator. This isn't just about drilling more wells; it's about acquiring or partnering in adjacent areas to maximize scale and operational control.

Acquire non-operated working interests in adjacent Rockies basins.

PEDEVCO Corp. is already deeply involved in non-operated participation as a way to deploy capital efficiently across its Rockies acreage. For instance, the company participated in drilling eight 2.5 mile lateral non-operated wells in the D-J Basin with a ~7.5% working interest, with production coming online in Q4 2025. Furthermore, they participated in another set of D-J Basin wells: three 2.5 mile lateral and one 3 mile U-shaped lateral non-operated wells with a ~44% working interest, with completion expected in early September 2025. This activity shows a clear pattern of leveraging existing operational partners to develop inventory. The recent acquisition of a northern D-J Basin operating subsidiary, effective October 31, 2025, directly supports expanding operational control within the Rockies market.

Leverage the untouched $250 million RBL facility for asset purchases.

A major enabler for this market expansion is the $250 million aggregate maximum revolving credit amount under the Reserve Based Lending Facility (RBL) with Citibank, N.A. Critically, this facility remains untouched as of the Q2 2025 reporting, providing significant 'dry powder' for opportunistic acquisitions. The initial borrowing base was set at $20.0 million. Post-merger, the pro forma company is expected to have total debt of approximately $87 million, meaning a substantial portion of the RBL capacity is available to fund strategic consolidation and asset purchases aimed at accelerating scale in the Rockies.

Target new US regions with similar conventional geology and infrastructure.

While the immediate post-merger focus is on consolidating the Rockies position, the overall strategy involves targeting areas with similar characteristics to their existing assets: legacy conventional properties with long production history, well-defined geology, and existing infrastructure. The company's current platform includes over 328,000 net acres across the D-J and Powder River Basins. The Permian Basin asset in eastern New Mexico, with approximately 14,105 net acres all held by production (HBP), also fits this profile, having an Estimated Original Oil In Place (OOIP) of over 700 million barrels. The company's goal is to be the operator in the majority of its acreage to dictate the pace of development.

Expand into mid-continent or Gulf Coast basins via strategic M&A.

The CEO has stated a focus on searching for acquisition and consolidation opportunities to accelerate scale beyond the current Rockies focus. The strategy centers on acquiring assets on terms expected to be more attractive than those seen in other areas, including the Permian Basin. While specific targets in the Mid-Continent or Gulf Coast are not detailed with 2025 financial data, the availability of the $250 million RBL facility and the post-merger capital structure are the mechanisms intended to facilitate such expansion via strategic M&A.

Establish new sales channels for natural gas to offset price volatility.

PEDEVCO Corp. makes money by selling crude oil, natural gas, and Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) at market prices. The realized sales price for the third quarter of 2025 was $51.46 per Boe. The company's Q3 2025 revenues decreased 23% to $7.0 million compared to Q3 2024, driven by an unfavorable price variance of $1.1 million. The company's market presence is characterized by its targeted investments and its ability to generate consistent returns through efficient production and a keen understanding of commodity markets. The company's Q1 2025 capital program of $27-$33 million was planned to be funded through cash flow from operations, existing cash, the credit facility, equity financing, and potential asset sales or joint ventures.

Here are some key operational and financial metrics supporting the capacity for market development:

The company is focused on organic growth and strategic consolidation to reach a long-term goal of 10,000-plus barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD). Post-merger production is expected to be over 6,500 BOEPD, which is over 80% oil.

PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at how PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) can grow by introducing new products or significantly improving existing ones, which is the Product Development quadrant of the Ansoff Matrix. This strategy hinges on leveraging current assets and new technologies to extract more value from their existing acreage in the Permian Basin and the D-J Basin.

Invest in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques in the Permian Basin.

PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) is already applying modern techniques to its legacy Permian Basin asset. The Chaveroo field, which has over 700 million barrels of original oil in place (OOIP), historically used 40-acre vertical well spacing. The current strategy involves applying horizontal drilling and modern completion techniques, downspacing to 20 acre infill drilling locations, which is expected to realize significantly better recoveries and achieve lower finding and development cost compared to vertical development. The company received first production from four new horizontal San Andres wells in its Chaveroo Field starting in May 2025. This asset currently comprises approximately 14,105 net acres with 100+ drilling locations, and PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) holds approximately 100% working interest and ~80% Net Revenue Interests in its operated highlights there. The company reported operating expenses in Q3 2025 of $7.8 million, which included expenses related to lift conversions on five operated wells in the Permian Basin asset, expected to reduce future operating costs. The capital budget for the next 12 months included an allocation of approximately $30 million, directed towards drilling its leases, including the Permian Basin.

Pilot Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) on depleted wells.

PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) is exploring the application of CCS on depleted wells as a new service or product line, though specific 2025 financial commitments for this pilot are not detailed in recent operational updates. The company aims to simplify its business and accelerate growth by creating partnerships, which would be a key component for any large-scale environmental service development.

Increase focus on Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) processing and sales.

The focus on NGLs is evident in the realized pricing and production mix. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, NGLs were priced at $24.00/Bbl, representing a 10% decrease year-over-year. NGL production volume for Q3 2025 was 17,007 Boe. Overall liquids production comprised 84% of the total production volume for Q3 2025. The company's Q3 2025 production was 1,471 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD). The total revenue for Q3 2025 was $7.0 million, a decrease of 23% from Q3 2024 revenue of $9.05 million. Year-to-date revenues through September 30, 2025, were $22.67 million.

Develop a water recycling and disposal service for local operators.

Developing a water recycling and disposal service represents a potential new service offering for local operators. While this is a strategic area for product development, there are no specific 2025 financial figures available for revenue or capital investment related to this service line in the latest reports.

Apply unconventional technology to deeper, unproven zones in the D-J Basin.

PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) is actively applying modern drilling and completion techniques in the D-J Basin, which consists of approximately 328,000 net acres across Colorado and Wyoming. The company is participating in numerous non-operated wells to accelerate development. Here is a breakdown of the 2025 participation in D-J Basin wells, with production expected to come online soon:

The company also entered a joint development agreement in March 2025 to jointly participate in the expansion and development of its Roth DSU in the D-J Basin, with the operator planning to commence drilling of five new horizontal wells in Q3 2025, with completion estimated in Q4 2025. The company's D-J Basin asset includes over 150 additional drilling locations. Following a merger effective October 31, 2025, PEDEVCO Corp. (PED)'s current production increased to over 6,500 BOEPD, which is a significant jump from the Q3 2025 production of 1,471 BOEPD.

The company's liquidity position as of September 30, 2025, included cash and cash equivalents of $10.92 million, with a working capital surplus of $1.52 million. Investing activities for the nine months ending September 30, 2025, used $5.98 million, a reduction from $22.1 million in the prior year period.

• The company reported 14,105 net Permian Basin acres as of November 1, 2025.
• The company reported 328,000 net D-J Basin and Powder River Basin acres as of November 1, 2025.
• Net oil and gas properties were valued at $107.83 million as of Q3-2025.
• Shareholders' equity stood at $115.4 million at the end of Q3 2025.

PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) might pivot beyond its core E&P (Exploration and Production) focus in the Rockies and Permian Basins. Diversification here means moving into new energy markets, which is a big step from their current asset base.

The financial capacity for such a move is anchored by recent liquidity events. As of September 30, 2025, PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) reported cash and cash equivalents of $13.7 million, which included $2.75 million in restricted cash, and importantly, the company held zero debt. Following the transformative merger closing on October 31, 2025, the combined entity is expected to hold roughly $10 million in cash. This is a key figure to consider for smaller, strategic diversification plays.

Still, the underlying financial optionality is significant. PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) has an untouched $250 million Reserve Based Lending Facility (RBL) with Citibank available. This facility, combined with the merger's concurrent $35 million private placement, provides a much larger pool for major infrastructure or technology investments than just the on-hand cash.

Here are the specific diversification avenues you outlined, framed by the available capital:

• Acquire a minority stake in a US solar or wind energy project.
• Use the $10 million cash balance for energy infrastructure investment.
• Form a joint venture for geothermal exploration on existing acreage.
• Enter the midstream sector by building small gathering pipelines.
• Target a non-E&P energy technology company acquisition.

To map out the potential scale of these diversification targets against the company's financial position, look at this comparison:

For entry into the midstream or technology sectors, the $10 million cash target mentioned in the strategy aligns well with smaller, non-core acquisitions, especially if the goal is technology integration rather than large-scale asset purchase. The $250 million RBL, however, signals capacity for building out small gathering pipelines or acquiring a small midstream entity if the company decides to use that leverage.

If PEDEVCO Corp. (PED) were to pursue a technology acquisition, the Q3 2025 operating expenses were $7.8 million. A technology acquisition might be aimed at reducing these operational costs, which saw a 12% increase from Q3 2024 to Q3 2025.

For any new energy project, like solar or wind, the $13.7 million cash balance as of September 30, 2025, provides immediate funding for a minority stake, though larger infrastructure plays would likely tap the RBL.

• Q3 2025 Liquids Production: 84% of total production.
• Q3 2025 BOEPD: 1,471 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
• Q3 2025 Revenue: $7.0 million.
