- Technical Execution: The operation utilized the Drake-2 onshore hydraulic rig, with wireline logging by Halliburton and successful installation of 7" nominal production casing.
- Reservoir Findings: Petrophysical analysis identified 13 meters of net pay across four oil-bearing intervals using a 3,500-ppm salinity cut-off.

AND-5 Well Drilling Update
Drilling commenced on June 25th, progressing through sedimentary rock sections, and was concluded in basement rock on July 5th at a final total depth of 1,165 meters. Subsequently, wireline logging operations were performed, followed by the running of the 7" nominal production casing to final depth.
The operation was carried out using the Drake-2 onshore hydraulic drilling rig, with logging services provided by Halliburton.
Based on conventional petrophysical evaluation, applying a salinity cut-off of 3,500 ppm, 13 meters of net pay was identified, distributed across four oil-bearing intervals. The technical team is continuing detailed analysis of the acquired logs and associated data.
In the next operational phase, mobilization of an onshore completion rig is planned, with the objective of acquiring special saturation logs to more accurately characterize the productive intervals. Subsequently, well testing and completion operations will be carried out to prepare the well for production, followed by tie-in to the Andorinha Collection Station.

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.
