Investor Insight
Brazil’s expanding natural gas market, supported by an attractive and stable regulatory framework and fiscal regime offers a unique opportunity for Alvopetro Energy to leverage its high-potential assets and growth opportunities as an innovative natural gas company in the state of Bahia.
Overview
Alvopetro Energy (TSXV:ALV;OTCQX:ALVOF) is a pioneering independent natural gas producer in Brazil. The company was the first to deliver sales-specified natural gas onshore to the local distribution network previously dominated by the state oil company. This milestone, achieved on July 5, 2020, marked the beginning of a new era in Brazil's gas market.
As an independent upstream and midstream operator, Alvopetro engages in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of natural gas and oil. The company holds interests in the Caburé and Murucututu natural gas assets, Block 182 and 183 exploration assets, and Bom Lugar and Mãe-da-lua oil fields, which cover an area of over 22,000 acres in the Recôncavo basin onshore Brazil. Alvopetro Energy was incorporated in 2013 and is headquartered in Calgary, Canada.
State of Bahia – Reconcavo Basin
Alvopetro adheres to a balanced capital allocation model, reinvesting half of its funds flow from operations in organic growth opportunities while returning the remaining 50 percent back to stakeholders (through dividends, debt and interest payments and capital lease payments). Since production came online in July of 2020, funds flow from operations has reached ~$156 million with 43 percent being reinvested into capital expenditure initiatives, 48 percent being returned to stakeholders, and 9 percent going back to strengthening the company’s balance sheet.
Alvopetro continues to focus on minimizing its environmental impact, responsibly supplying energy, and having a positive influence on the communities where it operates. Alvopetro currently invests in various voluntary social programs that have been well received by the community. The company’s focus has been on the sustainable development of its rural communities, entrepreneurship, education, cultural and sporting activities, as well as biodiversity preservation.
Company Highlights
- Alvopetro is a leading independent upstream and midstream gas operator in the state of Bahia, Brazil.
- The company’s strategy is focused on unlocking Brazil’s on-shore natural gas potential, building off the development of its Caburé and Murucututu natural gas fields strategic midstream infrastructure.
- Over 95 percent of Alvopetro’s production is from natural gas and the company has a 2P reserve base of 9.6 MMboe.
- The company boasts high operating netbacks and profitability per unit of production, setting it apart from its Latin American and North American peers. The state of Bahia boasts a favorable fiscal regime with low royalties and a 15 percent income tax rate.
Key Projects
Caburé
The company’s flagship Caburé asset (56.2 percent Alvopetro) delivers the majority of Alvopetro’s current production. The project is a joint development (the unit) of a conventional natural gas discovery across four blocks, two of which are held by Alvopetro and two of which are held by its partner, with Alvopetro’s working interest being 56.2 percent following the first redetermination. The unit currently includes eight existing wells, with all production facilities already in place. The resource is well defined with 3D seismic surveys, particularly on the eastern side of a main bounding fault that runs roughly north-south through the Caruaçu formation. The company plans to drill an additional five wells in 2025 to further improve the productive capacity of the field.
Midstream – Infrastructure and marketing (100 percent Alvopetro)
All of Alvopetro’s natural gas produced from Caburé and Murucututu are shipped via 100 percent owned and operated natural gas pipelines to Alvopetro’s natural gas processing facility (UPGN). At the UPGN, the natural gas goes through a mechanical refrigeration process, with condensate and water removed during the process, and condensate then gets trucked out and sold at a premium to Brent. The natural gas gets delivered to a receiving station (city gate) that was built by the company’s offtaker, Bahiagás, the distribution company for the State of Bahia.
The gas then gets shipped via a newly built 15 km distribution pipeline to the Camacari industrial complex (~17.5 km away), where the vast majority of the natural gas in the state of Bahia gets consumed.
Natural gas is sold to Bahiagas under a long-term gas sales agreement, with pricing set quarterly based on Brent and Henry Hub benchmark prices. Alvopetro recently announced an updated gas sales agreement effective January 1, 2025, increasing firm sales volumes by 33 percent.
Organic Growth Opportunities
Maximizing the Gas Plant
In the near-to-mid term, Alvopetro has a goal to maximize its gas plant capacity to 18 million cubic feet per day (or 3,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day), with a plan to double its capacity in the coming years through both ongoing development at the Caburé Unit and a multi-year development of the Murucututu field.
Unit Development
Alvopetro’s working interest in the Caburé Unit was recently increased from 49.1 percent to 56.2 percent and as a result, Alvopetro is now entitled to higher production entitlements from the Unit. In addition, with the unit development drilling activities planned to commence in 2025, the overall productive capacity of the Unit is targeted to increase.
Murucututu Gas
Alvopetro’s Murucututu asset (100 percent owned) sits immediately north of Caburé. Independent reserve estimators, GLJ, highlight the potential for this field with 2P reserve totaling 4.6 million barrels of oil equivalent, risked best estimate contingent resource of 5.4 million barrels of oil equivalent and risked best estimate prospective resource of 9.6 million barrels of oil equivalent representing a significant addition to the company’s current 2P reserve base.
Alvopetro Energy finished the recompletion of its 183-A3 well in the third quarter of 2024. The well came on production in September prompting the company’s natural gas sales from the Murucututu field in Q4 2024 to increase by 262 percent compared to Q3 2024. The company has a follow-up well planned for the field in early 2025.

Alvopetro Announces May 2025 Sales Volumes and an Operational Update including 183-D4 Well Results
Alvopetro Energy Ltd. (TSXV: ALV) (OTCQX: ALVOF) announces May 2025 sales volumes and an operational update, including results from our 183-D4 well. Based on cased hole logs and logs while drilling, the well encountered 61 metres total vertical depth ("TVD") potential net natural gas pay in the Caruaçu Formation 106 metres updip of our 183-A3 well.
President & CEO, Corey C. Ruttan commented:
"May sales included the first full month of production from our first two wells drilled in Western Canada averaging 346 bopd gross (173 bopd net), exceeding our pre-farmin expectations and we are looking forward to drilling our next two wells here starting this summer. We are also encouraged by our 183-D4 results and expect to have this well on production in Q3 to fuel continued production growth in Brazil ."

May sales volumes in Brazil averaged 2,161 boepd, including natural gas sales of 12.3 MMcfpd and associated natural gas liquids sales from condensate of 111 bopd, based on field estimates. Sales volumes decreased 9% compared to April due to turnarounds at both Alvopetro facilities and Bahiagás end user plants, which impacted demand in the month. In Canada , with a full month of production in May, Alvopetro's net 50% share of oil sales volumes increased to 173 bopd, bringing the Company's total sales to 2,334 boepd, based on field estimates.
Operational Update
183-D4 Well Results
We have now completed the sidetrack and drilling of our 183-D4 well on our 100% Murucututu natural gas field. The well was drilled to a total measured depth of 3,072 metres and has been cased and cemented. The well encountered the Caruaçu Member of the Maracangalha Formation 106 metres structurally updip of our 183-A3 success.
Based on cased-hole gamma ray logs and normalized gas while drilling, the well encountered potential natural gas pay in the Caruaçu Member of the Maracangalha Formation, with an aggregate 61 metres of potential natural gas pay between 2,439 and 2,838 meters TVD.
Based on these drilling results, we plan to complete the well in up to 5 intervals and expect the well to be on production to the field production facility in the third quarter.
Caburé Unit Development Drilling Program
Our planned Caburé Unit development drilling program has commenced. The first well has now been spud and we expect to have four wells drilled by the end of the third quarter.
Western Canadian Capital Plan
In Western Canada , well pad construction for our next two wells has commenced and we expect the wells to be drilled in the third quarter.

Alvopetro Announces an Operational Update, Q1 2025 Financial Results and Details for our Upcoming AGM
Alvopetro Energy Ltd. (TSXV: ALV) (OTCQX: ALVOF) announces an operational update, financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and details for both our Q1 2025 earnings call and our upcoming annual general and special meeting.
All references herein to $ refer to United States dollars, unless otherwise stated and all tabular amounts are in thousands of United States dollars, except as otherwise noted.
President & CEO, Corey C. Ruttan commented:
"A 41% increase in Q1 2025 sales volumes provides a strong start to the year and we are well positioned for an exciting organically funded 2025 capital program. We now have the ability to invest in high rate of return opportunities in Brazil and the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Our first two wells in Canada are exceeding expectations and we are looking forward to an expanding capital program including a strong inventory of oil drilling locations. These new opportunities further strengthen our disciplined capital allocation model, balancing returns to stakeholders and organic growth."
Operational Update
April Sales Volumes
| Natural gas, NGLs and crude oil sales: | April 2025 | March 2025 | Q1 2025 |
| Brazil: | | | |
| Natural gas (Mcfpd), by field: | | | |
| Caburé | 12,532 | 12,652 | 11,710 |
| Murucututu | 945 | 1,877 | 2,093 |
| Total natural gas (Mcfpd) | 13,477 | 14,529 | 13,803 |
| NGLs (bopd) | 126 | 146 | 135 |
| Oil (bopd) | - | 12 | 10 |
| Total (boepd) – Brazil | 2,372 | 2,580 | 2,446 |
| Canada: | | | |
| Oil (bopd) – Canada | 90 | - | - |
| Total Company – boepd (1) | 2,462 | 2,580 | 2,446 |
| (1) Alvopetro reported volumes are based on sales volumes which, due to the timing of sales deliveries, may differ from production volumes. |
April sales volumes in Brazil averaged 2,372 boepd, including natural gas sales of 13.5 MMcfpd and associated natural gas liquids sales from condensate of 126 bopd, based on field estimates. Murucututu sales volumes were impacted by downtime on the 183-A3 well to complete an intervention to enhance productivity through the isolation of lower intervals. In Canada , the two wells drilled in the first quarter of 2025 came on production in April (50% working interest). After the initial clean-up period, oil sales commenced contributing an additional 90 bopd net to Alvopetro in April and bringing the Company's total sales to 2,462 boepd, based on field estimates, a decrease of 5% compared to March and an increase of 1% compared to Q1.
Quarterly Natural Gas Pricing Update
Effective May 1, 2025 , our natural gas price under our long-term gas sales agreement with Bahiagás has been adjusted to BRL2.08 /m 3 , a 7% increase from the February 2025 price of BRL1.95 /m 3 . All natural gas sales from May 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025 will be sold at BRL2.08 /m 3 ( $11.09 /Mcf, net of applicable sales taxes, based on average heat content to date and the April 30, 2025 BRL/USD exchange rate of 5.66).
Development Activities - Brazil
On our 100% Murucututu natural gas field, we spud the 183-D4 well targeting the Caruaçu Formation approximately 110 metres structurally updip of our 183-A3 success. Operational challenges associated with the drilling rig led to significant delays and while drilling the main target Caruaçu intervals we became differentially stuck ultimately resulting in the loss of the bottom hole assembly. We are currently drilling a sidetrack of the lower 680 metres of the well. We estimate total costs for the project of $7.7 million , of which $3.7 million was incurred in Q1 2025.
On the unitized area (the "Unit") which includes the Caburé natural gas field, we have five development wells planned for 2025, with the first wells expected to be drilled starting this quarter.
Western Canadian Strategic Entry
On February 5, 2025 , we announced a new strategic entry into Canada (the "Farmin"). Under the Farmin we agreed to fund 100% of two earning wells in exchange for a 50% non-operated working interest in 12,243 acres of land focused on the Mannville Stack heavy oil resource in Western Saskatchewan . This is currently one of the leading plays in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin with high original oil place reservoirs that are being effectively exploited using open hole multilateral drilling technology. Our objective with the strategic entry into Canada was to expand our inventory of highly prospective opportunities but with a differentiated risk profile. The early results from our first two earning wells in Western Canada demonstrate this vision. Within 45 days of finalizing the Farmin, with our partner, we had obtained two well licenses, surface access, constructed two well pads and drilled two multilateral wells with a total of over 15 kilometres of open hole reservoir contact. When we completed the Farmin we had established a gross initial production rate target of 100 to 120 bopd per well. Both earning wells were on production by early April and both are exceeding our pre-Farmin expectations. We have further expanded our joint Mannville focused land base up to 15,861 acres (7,931 acres net) and are looking forward to drilling up to an additional four (2.0 net) multilateral wells through the rest of 2025.
Financial and Operating Highlights – First Quarter of 2025
- Alvopetro's updated long-term gas sales agreement came into effect on January 1, 2025 increasing our contracted firm volumes by 33%. As a result, our average daily sales increased to 2,446 boepd (1) in Q1 2025 (+44% from Q1 2024 and +41% from Q4 2024).
- Our average realized natural gas price decreased to $10.44 /Mcf in Q1 2025 (-17% from Q1 2024 and -1% from Q4 2024), due mainly to the devaluation of the BRL relative to the USD, which depreciated 18% compared to the average rate in Q1 2024. Our overall averaged realized sales price was $63.67 per boe (-16% from Q1 2024).
- With higher sales volumes, our natural gas, oil and condensate revenue increased to $14.0 million (+19% from Q1 2024 and +37% from Q4 2024).
- Our operating netback (2) in the quarter was $50.77 per boe (- $15.39 per boe from Q1 2024 and - $4.32 per boe from Q4 2024), due mainly to additional royalties in the quarter as well as lower realized sales prices. Royalties in the quarter increased to $7.60 per boe due to the recognition of additional gross-overriding royalty ("GORR") applicable on certain properties held by Alvopetro. The computation of the GORR was in dispute with the GORR holders, mainly with respect to the computation on natural gas. Subsequent to March 31, 2025 , Alvopetro received the findings of the appointed arbitral tribunal wherein the tribunal found in favour of the GORR holders. Alvopetro has estimated the additional GORR owing pursuant to the decision and recognized such amount (including inflation) as additional royalties in Q1 2025 as well as the estimated interest owing on the balance outstanding as finance expense. The computation of the additional GORR remains subject to the approval of, and adjustment by, the tribunal.
- We generated funds flows from operations (2) of $9.2 million ( $0.25 per basic share and $0.24 per diluted share), increases of $0.7 million compared to Q1 2024 and $2.3 million compared to Q4 2024 due mainly to higher sales volumes, partially offset by higher royalties and lower realized sale prices.
- We reported net income of $6.1 million , an increase of $1.5 million compared to Q1 2024 due to higher revenues and foreign exchange gains (compared to foreign exchange losses in Q1 2024), partially offset by higher royalties and higher depletion and depreciation.
- On February 5, 2025 , we announced the terms of a Canadian farmin agreement (the "Farmin"), pursuant to which Alvopetro agreed to fund 100% of two earning wells in exchange for a 50% non-operated working interest in 12,243 acres (6,122 net acres) of land in Western Saskatchewan . The two earning wells were drilled in the quarter at a total cost to Alvopetro of $2.6 million . With completion of the two earning wells, Alvopetro's working interest share is now 50%.
- Capital expenditures totaled $8.4 million , including costs for the two wells drilled in Canada , final costs on the 183-B1 re-entry, and costs associated with drilling the 183-D4 well on Alvopetro's 100% Murucututu field.
- Our working capital (2) surplus was $9.7 million as of March 31, 2025 , decreasing $3.4 million from December 31, 2024 .

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
This news release contains references to various non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios, capital management measures and supplementary financial measures as such terms are defined in National Instrument 52-112 Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure . Such measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. While these measures may be common in the oil and gas industry, the Company's use of these terms may not be comparable to similarly defined measures presented by other companies. The non-GAAP and other financial measures referred to in this report should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than measures prescribed by IFRS and they are not meant to enhance the Company's reported financial performance or position. These are complementary measures that are used by management in assessing the Company's financial performance, efficiency and liquidity and they may be used by investors or other users of this document for the same purpose. Below is a description of the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios, capital management measures and supplementary financial measures used in this news release. For more information with respect to financial measures which have not been defined by GAAP, including reconciliations to the closest comparable GAAP measure, see the " Non-GAAP Measures and Other Financial Measures " section of the Company's MD&A which may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca .
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Operating Netback
Operating netback is calculated as natural gas, oil and condensate revenues less royalties and production expenses. This calculation is provided in the " Operating Netback " section of the Company's MD&A using our IFRS measures. The Company's MD&A may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca . Operating netback is a common metric used in the oil and gas industry used to demonstrate profitability from operations.
Non-GAAP Financial Ratios
Operating Netback per boe
Operating netback is calculated on a per unit basis, which is per barrel of oil equivalent ("boe"). It is a common non-GAAP measure used in the oil and gas industry and management believes this measurement assists in evaluating the operating performance of the Company. It is a measure of the economic quality of the Company's producing assets and is useful for evaluating variable costs as it provides a reliable measure regardless of fluctuations in production. Alvopetro calculated operating netback per boe as operating netback divided by total sales volumes (boe). This calculation is provided in the " Operating Netback " section of the Company's MD&A using our IFRS measures. The Company's MD&A may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca . Operating netback is a common metric used in the oil and gas industry used to demonstrate profitability from operations on a per boe basis.
Operating netback margin
Operating netback margin is calculated as operating netback per boe divided by the realized sales price per boe. Operating netback margin is a measure of the profitability per boe relative to natural gas, oil and condensate sales revenues per boe and is calculated as follows:
| | | Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
| | | | 2025 | 2024 |
| Operating netback - $ per boe | | | 50.77 | 66.16 |
| Average realized price - $ per boe | | | 63.67 | 75.94 |
| Operating netback margin | | | 80 % | 87 % |
Funds Flow from Operations Per Share
Funds flow from operations per share is a non-GAAP ratio that includes all cash generated from operating activities and is calculated before changes in non-cash working capital, divided by the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective period. For the periods reported in this news release the cash flows from operating activities per share and funds flow from operations per share is as follows:
| | | Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
| $ per share | | | 2025 | 2024 |
| Per basic share: | | | | |
| Cash flows from operating activities | | | 0.24 | 0.22 |
| Funds flow from operations | | | 0.25 | 0.23 |
| | | | | |
| Per diluted share: | | | | |
| Cash flows from operating activities | | | 0.23 | 0.22 |
| Funds flow from operations | | | 0.24 | 0.23 |
Capital Management Measures
Funds Flow from Operations
Funds flow from operations is a non-GAAP capital management measure that includes all cash generated from operating activities and is calculated before changes in non-cash working capital. The most comparable GAAP measure to funds flow from operations is cash flows from operating activities. Management considers funds flow from operations important as it helps evaluate financial performance and demonstrates the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash to fund future growth opportunities. Funds flow from operations should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, cash flows from operating activities however management finds that the impact of working capital items on the cash flows reduces the comparability of the metric from period to period. A reconciliation of funds flow from operations to cash flows from operating activities is as follows:
| | | Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
| | | | 2025 | 2024 |
| Cash flows from operating activities | | | 8,817 | 8,213 |
| Changes in non-cash working capital | | | 405 | 300 |
| Funds flow from operations | | | 9,222 | 8,513 |
Net Working Capital
Net working capital is computed as current assets less current liabilities. Net working capital is a measure of liquidity, is used to evaluate financial resources, and is calculated as follows:
| | | As at March 31 | |
| | | 2025 | 2024 |
| Total current assets | | 25,090 | 24,149 |
| Total current liabilities | | (15,348) | (9,102) |
| Net working capital | | 9,742 | 15,047 |
Supplementary Financial Measures
" Average realized natural gas price - $/Mcf " is comprised of natural gas sales as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Company's natural gas sales volumes.
" Average realized NGL – condensate price - $/bbl " is comprised of condensate sales as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Company's NGL sales volumes from condensate.
" Average realized oil price - $/bbl " is comprised of oil sales as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Company's oil sales volumes.
" Average realized price - $/boe " is comprised of natural gas, condensate and oil sales as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Company's total natural gas, NGL and oil sales volumes (barrels of oil equivalent).
" Dividends per share " is comprised of dividends declared, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the number of shares outstanding at the dividend record date.
" Royalties per boe " is comprised of royalties, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the total natural gas, NGL and oil sales volumes (barrels of oil equivalent).
" Production expenses per boe " is comprised of production expenses, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the total natural gas, NGL and oil sales volumes (barrels of oil equivalent).
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.
Contracted Natural Gas Volumes
The 2025 contracted daily firm volumes under Alvopetro's long-term gas sales agreement 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. Alvopetro's reported natural gas sales volumes are prior to any adjustments for heating value of Alvopetro natural gas. Alvopetro's natural gas is approximately 7.8% 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).
Well Results
There is no representation by Alvopetro that the information contained in this news release with respect to initial production data from the wells drilled in Canada 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 well or of expected production or operational results for Alvopetro in the future.

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.
