井钻探更新和上 Vivian 砂测试

正如之前在 8 月 8 日发布的 2024 年第二季度结果中披露的那样，PetroTal 于 2024 年 7 月 26 日开始在 Breta 油田钻探 20H 井。20H 井可用于评估和测试上 Vivian 地层砂（“VS1”），这是首次与主要 Vivian 2（“VS2”）砂联合完成。

作为背景，Breta 的 Vivian 地层由两个主要砂体组成。到目前为止，PetroTal 仅从 VS2 砂中生产，其渗透率比 VS1 砂高出一个数量级。截至 2023 年底，Netherland, Sewell and Associates, Inc. 估计 Breta 油田 4.42 亿桶 2P 原始石油储量中约有 20% 分配给 VS1，而所有 2P 储量都分配给 VS2。20H 井

设计包括对 VS1 进行短暂测试，以获取原油样品并测试生产能力。在短暂的生产测试中，VS1 的流速相当于每天约 320 桶 18.6 API 石油，其比重与 VS2 石油相似。

PetroTal 已决定在两个砂层中完成 20H 井的钻探。一旦收集到足够的生产数据，公司将评估修改油田开发计划以包括 VS1 的可能性，以期将该单位纳入 Breta 未来的 2P 石油储量认证中。如果 VS1 地层水产量较低的预期得到证实，那么从概念上讲，VS1 生产的石油不需要建造额外的水处理设施。

该井目前正在主要 VS2 目标处进行钻探，预计将于 9 月底完成。

总裁兼首席执行官 Manuel Pablo Zuniga-Pflucker 评论道：

“从 VS1 地层生产可以增加 PetroTal 现有油井库存的有意义的产量，逐步提高储量和价值，并降低单位运营成本并延长油井寿命。持续的生产数据将提高我们对 VS1 的了解，我们将在制定计划时向股东通报最新情况。”

Well 20H Drilling Update and Upper Vivian Sand Test

As disclosed previously with the Q2 2024 results on August 8, PetroTal commenced drilling Well 20H at the Bretaña field on July 26, 2024. The 20H well has allowed for the evaluation and testing of the upper Vivian formation sand ("VS1"), which for the first time will be jointly completed with the main Vivian 2 ("VS2") sand.

For background, the Vivian formation at Bretaña consists of two primary sand bodies. So far, PetroTal has only produced from the VS2 sand, where permeability is an order of magnitude greater than the VS1 sand. As of year-end 2023, Netherland, Sewell and Associates, Inc. estimated that about 20% of the 442 million barrels of 2P original oil in place at the Bretaña field is assigned to VS1, while all 2P reserves are allocated to VS2.

The 20H well design included a short test of the VS1, to acquire crude samples and test production deliverability. During a brief production test, the VS1 flowed at an equivalent rate of approximately 320 barrels of oil per day of 18.6 API oil, which is of similar gravity to the VS2 oil.

PetroTal has decided to complete the 20H well in both sands. Once sufficient production data has been collected, the Company will evaluate the possibility of amending its field development plan to include the VS1, with a view to potentially including the unit in Bretaña's future 2P oil reserves certification. If expectations of low production of formation water volumes from the VS1 are confirmed, oil produced from the VS1 conceptually should not require additional water treatment facilities to be constructed.

The well is now drilling ahead in the main VS2 target and is expected to be completed by the end of September.

Manuel Pablo Zuniga-Pflucker, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Producing from the VS1 formation could add meaningful production from PetroTal's existing well stock, incrementally improving reserves and value, as well as decreasing unit operating costs and extending well life. Ongoing production data will improve our understanding of the VS1 and we will update shareholders as we develop our plans."
