"We saw increased production levels through the third quarter, and we are very excited about strong early production results from our 183-A3 completion. We look forward to continued production from the well and based on these early results we expect to be drilling follow up locations starting later this year."
September Sales Volumes
September sales volumes averaged 1,963 boepd including natural gas sales of 11.2 MMcfpd, associated natural gas liquids sales from condensate of 87 bopd and oil sales of 9 bopd, based on field estimates. Our Q3 2024 sales averaged 2,106 boepd, a 29% increase compared to 1,629 boepd in Q2 2024.

Operational Update
In September, we finished the initial completion of our 183-A3 well. The well came on production during September and is still cleaning up as we produce natural gas and completion fluids. For the last 72 hours of continuous production, the 183-A3 well has produced at an average rate of 59.4 e 3 m 3 /d (2.1 MMcfpd) gas, 175 barrels of completion fluid per day and 50 barrels of condensate per day. Flowing wellhead pressure has averaged 1,195psi (8,239kPa) during this period, with the final value being 1,150 psi (7,926kPa). Production has been managed through a constant 18/64" choke and we still have not recovered all the completion fluid introduced into the well. In parallel, we finished the recompletion of our 183-1 well in an uphole Caruaçu zone and, based on swab results, we have contacted a zone that is only producing water. We will continue to monitor the production from the 183-A3 well and based on those results we expect to design a follow up intervention for the 183-1 well and commence a drilling project up-dip of the 183-A3 well from our prebuilt 183-D pad location.

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.
Well Results . Data obtained from the 183-A3 well and the 183-1 well including production volumes should be considered to be preliminary. There is no representation by Alvopetro that the information contained in this press release is necessarily indicative of long-term performance or ultimate recovery. The reader is cautioned not to unduly rely on such data as such data may not be indicative of future performance of the wells or of expected production or operational results for Alvopetro in the future.
