Guapo-1 Exploration Well at VIM-1
Parex spud the Guapo-1 exploration well in October 2025 and successfully reached its target depth of approximately 15,000 feet. Following logging operations, it was determined that hydrocarbon production was not commercial, and the well was abandoned. The well was drilled at a cost of roughly $12 million (net).

Oil & Gas Matters Advisory
The term "Boe" means a barrel of oil equivalent on the basis of 6 thousand cubic feet ("mcf") of natural gas to 1 barrel (“bbl”). Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6 mcf: 1 bbl, utilizing a conversion ratio at 6 mcf: 1 bbl may be misleading as an indication of value.
Abbreviations
The following abbreviations used in this press release have the meanings set forth below:
| bbl/d | barrels per day |
| boe/d | barrels of oil equivalent of natural gas per day |
| mcf/d W.I. | thousand cubic feet per day working interest |
