Cautionary Statements
Forward Looking Statements. Statements in this presentation may contain forward-looking statements including management’s assessment of future plans, operations, expectations
of future production and capital expenditures. Information concerning resources is deemed to be forward-looking statements as such estimates involve the implied assessment that the
resources described can be economically produced. These statements are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results
to differ from those anticipated. These risks include, but are not limited to: the risks inherent in the oil and gas industry, operational risks relating to exploration, development and
production; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve and resource estimates; the
uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and health, safety and environmental risks; and fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates and
commodityprice fluctuation. As a consequence, actual results maydiffer materiallyfrom those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
Undiscovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place (“UPIIP”), equivalent to ‘undiscovered resources’, are those quantities of petroleum that are estimated, on a given date, to be contained in
accumulations yet to be discovered. The recoverable portion of UPIIP is referred to as prospective resources, the remainder as unrecoverable. Undiscovered resources carry discovery
risk. There is no certainty that any portion of these resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the
resources.
Discovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place (“DPIIP”), equivalent to ‘discovered resources’, is that quantity of oil that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known
accumulations prior to production. The recoverable portion of DPIIP includes production, reserves, and contingent resources; the remainder is unrecoverable. There is no certainty that it
will be commerciallyviable to produce anyportion of the resources.
Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place ("TPIIP“) is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated to exist originally in naturally occurring accumulations. It includes that quantity of petroleum
that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations, prior to production, plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered. There is no
certainty that undiscovered resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commerciallyviable to produce any portion of the resources.
Test results. There is no representation by Al vopetro that the data relating to any well test results contained in this presentation 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.
Non IFRS Measures. This presentation contains financial terms that are not considered measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), such as funds flow from
operations, funds flow per share, operating netback and working capital. These measures are commonly utilized in the oil and gas industry and are considered informative for
management and shareholders. We evaluate our performance based on funds flow from operations. Funds flow from operations is a non-IFRS term that represents cash generated
from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital. Management considers funds flow from operations and funds flow per share important as they help evaluate
performance and demonstrate the Alvopetro’s ability to have or generate sufficient cash to fund future growth opportunities. Working capital surplus includes current assets less current
liabilities and is used to evaluate the Company's short-term financial leverage. Operating netback is determined by dividing oil sales less royalties, transportation and operating
expenses by sales volume of produced oil. Management considers operating netback important as it is a measure of profitability per barrel sold and reflects the quality of production.
Funds flow from operations, funds flow per share, working capital and operating netbacks may not be comparable to those reported by other companies nor should they be viewed as an
alternative to cash flow from operations, net income or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS.
Net Present Value. The net present value of future net revenue attributable to Alvopetro’s reserves is 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, and well abandonment costs for only those wells assigned
reserves by Sproule. It should not be assumed that the undiscounted or discounted net present value of future net revenue attributable to the Alvopetro’s reserves estimated by Sproule
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 estimates of the Company's reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves
may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.

2015 Capital Plan and Strategy
Alvopetro’s strategy pursues three core opportunities:
• Large Tight Hydrocarbon Resource: proving the commercial viability of the
Gomo resource in the Recôncavo Basin
• Shallow Conventional Oil Exploration: targeting prospects generated from our
reprocessed 3D seismic database
• Mature Fields: development drilling focused on generating near-term oil
production and sustainable operating cash flows
Our US$17 million base 2015 capital forecast is expected to include:
•
•
•
•
•
Commercialize our 197(2) natural gas discovery
Completing and testing the 183(1) well and defining Gomo deliverability through
the use of fracture stimulations and reservoir modelling
Currently drilling our 182(2) conventional oil exploration prospect
Drilling one additional conventional oil exploration prospect (Block 170 or 107)
Drilling our first oil development well on our Bom Lugar mature field
