Corporate Presentation November 2014 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 reserves may also be 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 will cause actual results to differ from those anticipated. These risks include, but are not limited to: the risks of the oil and gas industry (e.g. 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 estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and health, safety and environmental risks), 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. A recovery project cannot be defined for this volume of UPIIP at this time. 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. A recovery project cannot be defined for these volumes of DPIIP at this time. 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. 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 nonIFRS 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 Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to fund future growth opportunities and repay debt. 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. 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. 2 Alvopetro’s Vision and Strategy 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. Three-pronged strategy: • Mature fields • Shallow conventional exploration • Large tight hydrocarbon resource 3 History and Formation of Alvopetro Energy Ltd. December 2012: Petrominerales Ltd. acquired a 75% interest in seven exploration blocks in the Recôncavo Basin (Blocks 131, 132, 144, 157, 182, 196, 197) and three mature producing fields (Bom Lugar, Jiribatuba and Aracaju). May 2013: Acquired Blocks 170 and Block 183, and awarded Blocks 106 and 107 in the Recôncavo Basin, and Block 177 in the Tucano Basin in the Brazil 11th Bid Round. November 19, 2013: Petrominerales acquired the remaining 25% interest in Alvopetro for $9 million. November 28, 2013: Alvopetro was formed as a result of a plan of arrangement involving Petrominerales Ltd. and Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp., with Alvopetro capitalized with C$100 million cash and holding all of Petrominerales' former Brazil assets, including a talented team of technical professionals in Brazil and certain of the former Leadership Team and Board members of Petrominerales. Through the completed Arrangement, Pacific Rubiales acquired all of Petrominerales’ outstanding shares, with former shareholders of Petrominerales receiving, for each Petrominerales share held, cash consideration of C$11.00 per share and one share of Alvopetro. Alvopetro Energy Ltd., with its current Leadership Team and Board, commenced operations as a new resource company. Alvopetro was awarded Blocks REC-T 169, REC-T 198, REC-T 255 and REC-T 256 in the Recôncavo Basin in the Brazil 12th Bid Round. 4 Our Opportunity • Experienced Leadership Team and Board of Directors • Well capitalized - $63.7 million(1) of cash and working capital resources • 85.1 million shares outstanding • 148,500 gross acres (147,808 net acres) • Highly under-explored area • Large “unconventional” resource • Shallow exploration potential • 3 mature fields • Compelling fiscal regime Note: (1) As at September 30, 2014, includes cash, restricted cash (current and non-current) and other working capital resources. 5 Recôncavo Basin, Brazil • Total Area: 10,000 sq km • First oil drilled (1939) • 6,000 wells drilled • 86 producing fields • Developed infrastructure • TPIIP – 6.3 billion bbls (conventional) • OGIP – 3.2 TCF (conventional) • Cumulative production – 1.5 billion bbls • 34 degree API light oil • Oil production 41,000 bbl/d • Natural gas production 120 mmcf/d Alberta outline compared to Parnaiba Basin 6 Focused Land Base • 148,500 gross acres (147,808 net acres) • 16 exploration blocks • 1,055 km2 of 3D seismic • Initial focus is to demonstrate the commercial deliverability of Gomo sands • Captured majority of deep Gomo play fairway in Miranga Low • 14 wells with Gomo pay • Initial Gomo view - 1.2 billion bbls of UPIIP(1)(2) • Shallow conventional exploration potential – 9 prospects (250 million boe TPIIP, mid-point) • 3 mature fields - NPV10 (AT) 2P reserves of US$21.8 million 6 km Notes: (1) Does not include Blocks REC-T 169, REC-T 198, REC-T 255 and REC-T 256 awarded to Alvopetro in the Brazil 12th Bid Round.
