The updated natural gas pricing model is recalculated quarterly based on Brent oil equivalent prices and Henry Hub natural gas prices resulting in quicker adjustments for commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Effective <span> February 1, 2025 <\/span> , our natural gas price under our long-term gas sales agreement with Bahiag\u00e1s has been adjusted to <span> BRL1.95 <\/span> \/m  3  , a 6.5% increase from the <span> January 2025 <\/span> price of <span> BRL1.83 <\/span> and consistent with the Q4 2024 price of <span> BRL1.94 <\/span> \/m  3  . All natural gas sales from <span> February 1, 2025 <\/span> to <span> April 30, 2025 <\/span> will be sold at <span> BRL1.95 <\/span> \/m  3  ( <span> $10.55 <\/span> \/Mcf, based on average heat content to date, the <span> January 31, 2025 <\/span> BRL\/USD exchange rate of 5.83, net of expected sales taxes applicable). <\/p>\n<p> Operational Update <\/p>\n<p> In the fourth quarter we attempted an optimization project on our 183-B1 well on Block 183 which was originally drilled and tested in 2022. The plan included sidetracking from the existing wellbore and re-entering the Sergi Formation horizontally. Unfortunately, we encountered challenges during the project that resulted in the loss of the bottom hole assembly and the abandonment of the operation with costs totalling approximately <span> $4.0 million <\/span> . <\/p>\n<p> On our Murucututu field, based off the successful recompletion of our 183-A3 well in the third quarter we plan to spud 183-D4 location this week. The 183-D4 location is targeting the Carua\u00e7u Member approximately 110 metres up-dip of the 183-A3 location. This location also has an uphole exploratory target in the Marfin Formation. We expect to announce results from the 183-D4 well near the end of the first quarter. <\/p>\n<p> Following this Murucututu well, we plan to drill and complete five development wells at our Cabur\u00e9 Unit as part of the agreed development plan with our partner.\u00a0 During the month of January, we also completed the commissioning phase of our recently installed compression system at Cabur\u00e9 increasing our productive capacity from the Unit. <\/p>\n<p> Strategic Entry into Western Canadian Growth Opportunity <\/p>\n<p> Alvopetro has been pursuing additional growth opportunities to complement our existing asset base to continue our disciplined capital allocation model where we look to reinvest approximately half our cash flow into organic growth and return the other half to stakeholders. The Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (\u2018  WCSB  \u2018) offers high-quality assets with large resources in place with access to a high-quality service industry, and leading-edge technology deployment. With our past experiences and our headquarters in <span> Calgary <\/span> , we are well positioned to create a complementary growth platform with the opportunity to deliver attractive returns for shareholders. <\/p>\n<p> Initial Focus Area \u2013 Mannville Heavy Oil Fairway <\/p>\n<p> The <span> Mannville <\/span> multi-zone heavy oil fairway targets the Colony, McLaren, <span> Waseca <\/span> , Sparky, GP, Rex, <span> Lloydminster <\/span> , and Cummings formations containing a large amount of original oil in place and providing attractive economics through the application of multilateral drilling and other technologies. <\/p>\n<p> Farmin \u2013 Partner with Proven Track Record <\/p>\n<p> Alvopetro is partnering with Durham Creek Energy Ltd., an established operator with a proven track record.\u00a0 Alvopetro has agreed to fund 100% of two earning wells at an estimated total cost of <span> C$4.5 million <\/span> in exchange for a 50% working interest in 19.13 sections (12,243 acres) of land in western <span> Saskatchewan <\/span> . With success, the land position could support upwards of 100 development drilling locations. <\/p>\n<p> President &amp; CEO,\u00a0Corey C. Ruttan\u00a0commented: <\/p>\n<p> \u2018Alvopetro\u2019s strong financial position and cash flows from operations help position the Company to maximize shareholder returns from our combined asset base. With exposure to projects in <span> Brazil <\/span> and now also in <span> Canada <\/span> , it allows us to allocate capital across a growing inventory of high rate of return opportunities and to continue our disciplined capital allocation model.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p> Corporate Presentation <\/p>\n<p> Alvopetro\u2019s updated corporate presentation is available on our website at: <br \/> http:\/\/www.alvopetro.com\/corporate-presentation  . <\/p>\n<p> Social \u00a0 Media <\/p>\n<p> Follow Alvopetro on our social media channels at the following links: <br \/> Twitter \u2013  https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlvopetroEnergy <br \/> Instagram \u2013  https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alvopetro\/ <br \/> LinkedIn \u2013  https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/alvopetro-energy-ltd <br \/> YouTube \u2013  https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCgDn_igrQgdlj-maR6fWB0w <\/p>\n<p> Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release. <\/p>\n<p> All amounts contained in this new release are in <span> United States <\/span> dollars, unless otherwise stated and all tabular amounts are in thousands of <span> United States <\/span> dollars, except as otherwise noted. <\/p>\n<p> Abbreviations: <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><span> boepd <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> = <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> barrels of oil equivalent (\u2018boe\u2019) per day <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> bopd <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> = <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> barrels of oil and\/or natural gas liquids (condensate) per day <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> C$ <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> = <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Canadian dollar<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> e <span> 3 <\/span> m <span> 3 <\/span> \/d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> = <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> thousand cubic metre per day <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> m <span> 3 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> = <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> cubic\u00a0metre <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> m <span> 3 <\/span> \/d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> = <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> cubic\u00a0metre per day <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Mcf <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> = <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> thousand cubic feet <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Mcfpd <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> = <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> thousand cubic feet per day <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> MMcfpd <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> = <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> million cubic feet per day <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> NGLs <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> = <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> natural gas liquids <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> BOE Disclosure  .\u00a0The term barrels of oil equivalent (\u2018boe\u2019) 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. <\/p>\n<p> Contracted firm volumes  . \u00a0 The 2025 contracted daily firm natural gas volumes of 400 e  3  m  3  \/d (before any provisions for take or pay allowances) represents contracted volumes based on contract referenced natural gas heating value. Note that Alvopetro\u2019s reported natural gas sales volumes are prior to any adjustments for heating value of Alvopetro natural gas. Alvopetro\u2019s natural gas is approximately 7.8% \u00a0 higher than the contract reference heating value. Therefore, to satisfy the contractual firm deliveries Alvopetro would be required to deliver approximately 371e  3  m  3  \/d (13.1MMcfpd). <\/p>\n<p> Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Language.
