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
commodity price fluctuation. As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from 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 commercially viable to produce any portion 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 commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources.
Test results. There is no representation by Alvopetro 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 and resources 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 or resources by Sproule or D&M respectively. It should not be assumed that the undiscounted or discounted net present value of future net revenue
attributable to the Alvopetro’s reserves and resources estimated by Sproule and D&M 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, reserve and resource estimates of the Company's reserves and resources provided herein
are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves or resources will be recovered. Actual reserves or resources may be greater than or less than the estimates
provided herein.

Alvopetro’s Vision
Our vision is to be the premier
independent exploration and production
company
in
Brazil,
maximizing
shareholder value by being the lowest
cost operator and applying innovation to
underexploited opportunities.
The Alvopetro Opportunity:
• Known Proven Assets
• Conventional Exploration
• Discovered Tight Gas Resource

Seismic Processing is Critical
• Key to success is reprocessing of
existing data
• Seismic reprocessed across majority of
Alvopetro’s blocks

–
–
PIS & COFINS – Remitted monthly on revenues and included in the cost of
goods. Combined rate of 9.25%. Offset by PIS&COFINS credits on eligible
expenditures
ICMS – State tax levied on goods – Rates differ by state and self-assessment
must be made if goods are imported from out of state/country
Alvopetro’s ICMS rate is 17%

Oil Marketing
• Petrobras price is based on average monthly
Brent pricing less a discount for Petrobras
operational and transportation costs
̶
Current discount ~$10/bbl net of tax adjustments
• Alvopetro’s current oil production is trucked to
Petrobras Carmo Station or the Dax Refinery
• Dax discount is 5% off Brent
• New projects being implemented and proposed
