Our Q1 sales averaged 1,701 compared to 2,143 boepd in Q4
2023. Q1 production was impacted by reduced nominations from
our offtaker, Bahiagás, in January and February. Demand resumed in
March; however, lower natural gas nominations of approximately 8.9
MMcfpd are anticipated for April.

Operational Update
Our upcoming capital projects are focused on optimizing
production from our three existing wells on our Murucututu natural
gas field. On our 183-A3 well, we have concluded production logging
operations and plan to proceed with the initial completion of the
upper two higher porosity Caruaçu intervals (Sequence 6.4) of the
wellbore. We also plan to recomplete the Caruaçu Sequence 6.2 in
the 183-1 wellbore. We are also planning a chemical injection
operation at 197-1 to enhance productivity in the Gomo
Formation. This work is all scheduled to be done in the
second quarter.

BOE Disclosure. The term barrels of oil
equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in
isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per
barrel (6Mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is
based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily
applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in this news
release are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of
six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.
