Alvopetro Announces 2025 Year End Reserves Including a 79% Increase in 1P Reserves, 2P Production Replacement Ratio of 530% and 2026 Capital Plan
The GLJ Reserves and Resources Report incorporates Alvopetro's working interest share of remaining recoverable reserves held by Alvopetro in both
All references herein to $ refer to United States dollars, unless otherwise stated.
President & CEO,
"Our 2025 year end reserves reflect another strong year for Alvopetro incorporating the results from our successful 183-D4 well in the Caruaçu Formation on our 100% interest Murucututu project, and our newly added Canadian assets. Exiting 2025, we posted record Q4 production of 2,867 boepd, increasing further to 3,099 boepd in January, to start off 2026. We significantly strengthened our asset base in 2025, increasing 2P reserves by 43%, replacing 2025 production more than 5 times, and with a 2P reserve life index of 12.5 years. This further strengthens our disciplined capital allocation model, balancing returns to stakeholders and organic growth."
- After 2025 production of 0.9 MMboe, 1P reserves increased 79% to 8.1 MMboe, representing a 1P production replacement ratio(1) of 485%. The increase was mainly due to results from our 183-D4 well on our Murucututu field which commenced production in
August 2025 and added an additional five proved undeveloped locations to our 1P reserves as well as newly added Canadian reserves of 0.3 MMboe. - 2P reserve volumes increased 43% to 13.1 MMboe, representing a 2P production replacement ratio of 530%(1). Success on our 183-D4 well also contributed to the bulk of the increase to 2P reserves which includes eight undeveloped locations. In
Canada , 0.7 MMboe of 2P reserves were assigned. - With increased reserve volumes, 1P NPV10 increased 38% to
$245.6 million and 2P NPV10 increased 20% to$393.6 million . - 2P reserves life index(1) of 12.5 years
- Risked best estimate contingent resources decreased by 0.7 MMboe from 4.5 MMboe to 3.8 MMboe at
December 31, 2025 with a NPV10 of$88.0 million , decreases fromDecember 31, 2024 of 16% and 20% respectively. The decreases were associated with the migration of contingent resources to Reserves for the Caruaçu Formation at Murucututu. - Risked best estimate prospective resources increased from 10.2 MMboe to 12.1 MMboe with a NPV10 of
$264.3 million , increases of 19% and 27% respectively fromDecember 31, 2024 . The increases were mainly due to additional prospective resource in the Caruaçu Formation at Murucututu adjacent to the assigned reserves area.

2026 Capital Plan
Our 2026 capital plan is designed to address the better than anticipated results from our 183-D4 well brought on production from our 100% interest Murucututu project in
We plan to expand our Murucututu field production facility and pipeline offtake capacity to support an increase in our Murucututu field capacity from our current level of approximately 150 e3m3/d up to 600 e3m3/d.
In parallel, we plan to enhance our gas processing capability at our UPGN Caburé to accommodate increasing proportions of richer gas production from our Murucututu field, also targeting a total capacity of up to 600 e3m3/d.
In addition to these sales specified natural gas deliveries through the UPGN Caburé we are evaluating alternatives to deliver non-specified natural gas to additional offtakers. We plan to balance these opportunities with continued facilities enhancements and increasing Bahiagás sales to accommodate our longer-term growth objectives.
Our 2026 drilling and completions plan includes the sidetrack of one unfinished well from 2025 at Caburé. At Murucututu, our 2026 plan includes a recompletion of one well in the Gomo Formation and the drilling and completion of one new well targeting the Caruaçu Formation. We are also permitting a new drilling pad that can support the drilling of our planned Caruaçu development drilling plan updip of our highly successful 183-D4 well.
Our 2026 capital budget for these projects is
In the fourth quarter of 2025, we completed drilling our two additional earning wells to earn a 50% working interest in 47 additional sections of land. This expands our area of mutual interest with our partner, bringing our land position up to 75 gross sections (23,539 net acres), all targeting the

Future Development Costs (1)(2)(3)(7)(8)
The table below sets out the total development costs deducted in the estimation of future net revenue attributable to proved reserves, proved plus probable reserves and proved plus probable plus possible reserves (using forecast prices and costs), by field and by country, in the GLJ Reserves and Resources Report. Total development costs include capital costs for drilling and completing wells and for facilities but excludes abandonment and reclamation costs which are deducted separately in the computation of future net revenue.
The future development costs for the Caburé field include Alvopetro's working interest share (56.2%) for side-tracking one unfinished well from 2025.
The future development costs for the Murucututu field in the proved category include the recompletion of one well in the Gomo Formation and the drilling and completion of six new wells targeting the Caruaçu Formation and one well targeting the Gomo Formation. Also included in the proved category are costs associated with upgrading the Murucututu field production facility and pipeline capacity to increase the overall field capacity from 150 e3m3/d up to 600 e3m3/d. The probable category includes two additional development wells, one targeting the Gomo Formation and one targeting the Caruaçu Formation.
The future development costs for the Bom Lugar and Mãe-da-lua fields (currently held for sale) in the proved category include costs to stimulate the BL-06 well on the Bom Lugar field and the existing well at the Mãe-da-lua field . Costs in the probable category also include one development well and costs for a facilities upgrade at the Bom Lugar field.
The future development costs in
Alvopetro's share of future development costs are summarized as follows:

The GLJ Reserves and Resources Report for Murucututu contingent resources assumes capital deployment starting in 2029 for the drilling and completion of wells with total project costs of
There can be no certainty that the project will be developed on the timelines discussed herein. The project is based on a pre-development study. Development of the project is dependent on several contingencies as further described in this news release. Significant positive factors relevant to the estimate include existing production in close proximity, proximity to infrastructure, existing long-term gas sales agreement and corporate commitment to the project. Significant negative factors relevant to the estimate include reservoir performance and the economic viability of the project (with sensitivity to low commodity prices), access to and amount of capital required to develop resources at an acceptable cost, and regulatory approvals for planned activities including stimulations and new infrastructure developments.
Summary of Development Pending Risked Company Gross Contingent Resources(1)(2)(5)(6)
The GLJ Reserves and Resources Report estimates the Chance of Development as the product of two main contingencies associated with the project development, which are: 1) the probability of corporate sanctioning, which GLJ estimates at 95%; and 2) the probability of finalization of a development plan, which GLJ estimates at 95%. The product of these two contingencies is 90%. As there is no risk related to discovery, the Chance of Commerciality for the contingent resource is therefore 90% which is the risk factor that has been applied to the Development Risked company gross contingent resources and the net present value figures reported below.

There can be no certainty that the project will be developed on the timelines discussed herein. Development of the project is dependent on several contingencies as further described in this news release. The project is based on a conceptual study. Significant positive factors relevant to the estimate include existing production in close proximity, proximity to infrastructure, existing long-term gas sales agreement and corporate commitment to the project. Significant negative factors relevant to the estimate include reservoir performance and the economic viability of the project (with sensitivity to low commodity prices), access to and amount of capital required to develop resources at an acceptable cost, and regulatory approvals for planned activities including stimulations and new infrastructure developments.
Summary of Development Risked Company Gross Prospective Resources (1)(2)(4)(6)
The GLJ Reserves and Resources Report estimates the Chance of Commerciality as the product between the Chance of Discovery and the Chance of Development. The Chance of Discovery of the prospective resources has been assessed at 90%, while the Chance of Development has been assessed as the same as for the Contingent Resources described above at 90%. The resulting Chance of Commerciality is 81%, which have been applied to the company gross unrisked prospective resources and the net present value figures reported below.

FOOTNOTES
|
(1) |
References to Company Gross reserves or Company Gross Resources means the total working interest share of remaining recoverable reserves or resources held by Alvopetro before deductions of royalties payable to others and without including any royalty interests held by Alvopetro. See the section entitled "Oil and Natural Gas Advisories – Caburé Working Interest" at the end of this news release for additional details with respect to Alvopetro's working interest share of the Caburé natural gas field. |
|
(2) |
The tables above are a summary of the reserves of Alvopetro and the net present value of future net revenue attributable to such reserves as evaluated in the GLJ Reserves and Resources Report based on forecast price and cost assumptions. The tables summarize the data contained in the GLJ Reserves and Resources Report and as a result may contain slightly different numbers than such report due to rounding. Also due to rounding, certain columns may not add exactly. |
|
(3) |
Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves. |
|
(4) |
Prospective Resources are defined in the COGE Handbook as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. There is no certainty that any portion of the prospective resources will be discovered and even if discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion. Prospective Resources are further subdivided in accordance with the level of certainty associated with recoverable estimates assuming their discovery as described in footnote 6. |
|
(5) |
Contingent Resources are defined in the COGE Handbook as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage. Contingent Resources are further classified in accordance with the level of certainty associated with the estimates as described in footnote 6 and may be subclassified based on project maturity and/or characterized by their economic status. The Contingent Resources estimated in the GLJ Reserves and Resources Report are classified as "economic contingent resources", which are those contingent resources that are currently economically recoverable. All such resources are further sub-classified with a project status of "development pending", meaning that resolution of the final conditions for development are being actively pursued. The recovery estimates of the Company's contingent resources provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated resources will be recovered. There is uncertainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. Actual recovered resource may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein. |
|
(6) |
Low Estimate: This is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90 percent probability (P90) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate. |
|
|
Best Estimate: This is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50 percent probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate. |
|
|
High Estimate: This is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10 percent probability (P10) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate. |
|
(7) |
The net present value of future net revenue attributable to Alvopetro's reserves and resources are stated without provision for interest costs and general and administrative costs, but after providing for estimated royalties, production costs, development costs, other income, future capital expenditures, well abandonment and reclamation costs for only those wells assigned reserves and material dedicated gathering systems and facilities. The net present values of future net revenue attributable to Alvopetro's reserves and resources estimated by GLJ do not represent the fair market value of those reserves. Other assumptions and qualifications relating to costs, prices for future production and other matters are summarized herein. The recovery and reserve and resource estimates of the Company's reserves and resources provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves and resources will be recovered. Actual reserves and resources may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein. |

Contingent Resources
This news release discloses estimates of Alvopetro's contingent resources and the net present value associated with net revenues associated with the production of such contingent resources as included in the GLJ Reserves and Resources Report. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of such contingent resources and the estimated future net revenues do not necessarily represent the fair market value of such contingent resources. Estimates of contingent resources involve additional risks over estimates of reserves. Full disclosure with respect to the Company's contingent resources as at
Prospective Resources
This news release discloses estimates of Alvopetro's prospective resources included in the GLJ Reserves and Resources Report. There is no certainty that any portion of the prospective resources will be discovered and even if discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion. Estimates of prospective resources involve additional risks over estimates of reserves. The accuracy of any resources estimate is a function of the quality and quantity of available data and of engineering interpretation and judgment. While resources presented herein are considered reasonable, the estimates should be accepted with the understanding that reservoir performance subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision, either upward or downward. Full disclosure with respect to the Company's prospective resources as at
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 (6 Mcf/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.
Other Metrics
This new release contains references to "production replacement ratio" and "reserve life index", metrics commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, which have been prepared by management. These terms does not have standardized meanings and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, and therefore should not be used to make such comparisons.
"Production replacement ratio" is calculated by dividing the change in reserve volumes plus current year production by current year production. Alvopetro's 1P production replacement ratio and 2P production replacement ratio in 2024 is calculated as:

Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Language
This news release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The use of any of the words "will", "expect", "intend", "plan", "may", "believe", "estimate", "forecast", "anticipate", "should" and other similar words or expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information. Forward‐looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly from the expectations discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events. Accordingly, when relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, Alvopetro cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. More particularly and without limitation, this news release contains forward-looking information concerning plans relating to the Company's operational activities, proposed development activities and the timing for such activities, capital spending levels and future capital costs, the expected natural gas price, gas sales and gas deliveries under Alvopetro's long-term gas sales agreement and arbitration procedures associated with the redetermination of working interests of the Caburé natural gas field. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon assumptions and judgments with respect to the future including, but not limited to the success of future drilling, completion, testing, recompletion and development activities and the timing of such activities, the performance of producing wells and reservoirs, well development and operating performance, expectations and assumptions concerning the timing of regulatory licenses and approvals, equipment availability, environmental regulation, including regulations relating to hydraulic fracturing and stimulation, the ability to monetize hydrocarbons discovered, the outlook for commodity markets and ability to access capital markets, foreign exchange rates, the outcome of any disputes, the outcome of redeterminations, general economic and business conditions, forecasted demand for oil and natural gas, the impact of global pandemics, weather and access to drilling locations, the availability and cost of labour and services, and the regulatory and legal environment and other risks associated with oil and gas operations. The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect. Actual results achieved during the forecast period will vary from the information provided herein as a result of numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors. Current and forecasted natural gas nominations are subject to change on a daily basis and such changes may be material. In addition, the declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because we can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, reliance on industry partners, availability of equipment and personnel, uncertainty surrounding timing for drilling and completion activities resulting from weather and other factors, changes in applicable regulatory regimes and health, safety and environmental risks), commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, market uncertainty associated with trade or tariff disputes, and general economic conditions. The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect. Although Alvopetro believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking information is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking information because Alvopetro can give no assurance that it will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Additional information on factors that could affect the operations or financial results of Alvopetro are included in our AIF which may be accessed on Alvopetro's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. The forward-looking information contained in this news release is made as of the date hereof and Alvopetro undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.
