The fully integrated onshore
Brazilian oil and gas producer
Seacrest Petroleo is an independent oil and gas producer focused on the redevelopment of midlife
onshore producing oil and gas fields. The Company’s assets are onshore in Espírito Santo, Brazil and
represent a cohesive set of attractive producing fields, interconnecting pipelines and an integrated export
terminal. The assets were acquired at attractive prices in the divestment program run by Brazil’s national
oil company, Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras.
The portfolio consists of the Cricaré Cluster and the adjacent Norte
Capixaba Cluster. The Cricaré Cluster is owned 100% and operated
by the Group and was acquired in December 2021. In February
2022, the Group entered into a purchase agreement with Petrobras
for the acquisition of a 100% interest and operatorship of the Norte
Capixaba Cluster and the waterway Terminal Norte Capixaba. This
transaction closed on 12 April 2023.
The fields have an estimated oil and gas volumes in place of 1.2
billion barrels of oil equivalents (bnboe) and certified proven and
probable reserves (“2P”) of 140 million barrels of oil equivalents
(mmboe) as of 31 December 2022. Q4 2022 production was approx-
imately 6,500 barrels of oil equivalents per day (boe/d) (including
Norte Capixaba) and is forecast to triple by 2025. The Company
has exclusive control over its infrastructure, all the way from field
production to the offshore tanker loading terminal, allowing
for cost-effective operations and direct access to markets for its
premium grade products. Approximately 90 per cent of the fields’
production is of a quality that qualifies it as fuel oil, without the
need for refining.
Seacrest Petroleo has a seasoned management team and organ-
ization of 103 employees with proven operational, technical and
commercial track-record in Brazil, backed by Seacrest Group and
Mercuria, combining a disciplined capital allocation strategy with
expertise in revitalising mid- and late-life fields.
Our commitment
With the commitment to deliver maximum value to its investors,
Seacrest Petroleo combines high productivity, ESG best practices
and financial discipline, striving for organic growth and develop-
ment of its acquired assets, always focused on efficiency and value
creation.

History and structure
Seacrest Petroleo was established by the co-founders of Seacrest Group, Erik Tiller
and Paul Murray, in 2019. The founders had experience from establishing OKEA
ASA in 2015, focusing on the redevelopment of mid-life assets on the Norwegian
shelf. OKEA ASA undertook a public offering on the Oslo Stock Exchange in 2019.
The Group is following a similar strategy in Brazil. Prior to the incorporation of the Company, Seacrest
Group had analysed seven upstream projects in Brazil to find the right match for its capabilities as an
independent oil and gas producer. Seacrest Petroleo acquired the Cricarè Cluster from Petrobras in
partnership with a highly regarded local team in 2020. The Cricarè Cluster comprises a 100% working
interest in 27 fields which the Company started operating in full from 2022. In February 2022, the
Company entered into a purchase agreement with Petrobras for the acquisition of the Norte Capixaba
Cluster, which comprises four onshore oil and gas concessions with related oil and gas production
assets, in addition to an export terminal operated by a subsidiary of Petrobras. The transaction closed
on 12 April 2023, with the Company assuming full operations thereafter. After giving effect to the acqui-
sition of the Norte Capixaba Cluster, the Company will be the third larges onshore oil and gas producer
in Brazil.
On 23 February 2023, Seacrest Petroleo listed on Euronext Expand Oslo under the ticker “SEAPT”. The
initial public offering (IPO), which raised USD 260 million (including a 10% greenshoe), provides access
to Norwegian and international capital markets, a diversification of the Company’s ownership structure
and a portion of the capital required to finance the Norte Capixaba acquisition.

Michael Stewart
CEO, Seacrest Petroleo
Letter from
the CEO
Seacrest Petroleo is finally ready to assume its role
as the third largest onshore E&P company in Brazil.
Having been formed in 2019 specifically to take part in Petrobras’
divestment program, we are celebrating our first full year of oper-
ations at the Cricaré Cluster and the agreement to take over the
Norte Capixaba Cluster. Moreover, this first Annual Report follows
our successful IPO on Euronext Expand Oslo where we raised
USD 260 million of proceeds to finance our journey as Brazil’s
third largest onshore E&P company.
Excellent operational performance
After a year of preparations, Seacrest Petroleo assumed full
operational responsibility at the Cricaré Cluster in January 2022.
This has been a substantial achievement for our dedicated and
skilled team, where we have managed to raise daily production
levels from less than 700 boe/d in January 2022 to more than
1,800 boe/d on average for the fourth quarter of 2022, with a peak
well above 2,000 boe/d in October and November, before the rain
season affected production in December.
We have increased the number of active wells from 90 wells at
the start of the year to 151 at the end of the year with the average
well producing 80% more than predicted. Following the
higher-than-expected well productivity, a detailed well-by-well
inventory resulted in an increase in net 2P reserves at our fields of
45mmboe.
Norte Capixaba acquisition
We successfully bid for the Norte Capixaba Cluster in December
2021 and signed a binding agreement to take over the cluster
from Petrobras in February 2022. With a total consideration of
USD 528.5 million, significant efforts were made during the year
to secure financing for the USD 35.85 million deposit and for the
USD 425 million consideration to be paid on completion of the
acquisition, which took place on 12 April 2023. At the same time,
operational resources were dedicated in preparation for the take-
over of operations. The Norte Capixaba transaction consummates
our efforts to establish a fully integrated onshore E&P company
with well-to-terminal infrastructure comprising pipelines, treat-
ment stations and an export terminal. Based on our experience
at the Cricaré Cluster and the excellent potential for synergies
between the two clusters, we are excited about our prospects.
Fostering a strong corporate culture
The Seacrest Petroleo organisation now numbers more than 100
employees and, together with nearly 500 contractor personnel,
we are well positioned to deliver on our ambitions to significantly
increase production and recovery rates at our fields. We are happy
to have delivered excellent health & safety performance during the
year with no major incidents of harm to people or the environment.
Taking care of our local communities
Seacrest Petroleo has a broad ESG agenda and aims to be a
low-emission and safe producer of oil & gas. Our focus during
2022 has been on developing strong relationships with the local
communities where we operate. In addition to providing jobs and
paying taxes, we are actively involved in supporting educational
initiatives for our communities.
IPO and listing on Euronext Oslo Børs Expand
In February 2023, we successfully raised USD 260 million in an IPO on
Euronext Expand Oslo. We welcomed a significant number of new
shareholders on board who support our growth journey, while we
greatly appreciate the support from our long-term partner, Mercuria.
With the IPO and subsequent refinancing of our debt facilities,
Seacrest Petroleo is now fully funded for its growth ambitions.
While the regulatory and political landscape in Brazil can some-
times be challenging to navigate, we enjoy a strong combination
of attractive resources and the support of a favourable regime
for oil & gas production. With the Norte Capixaba transaction
completed, our growth journey truly begins!

Strategy
Attractive value chain positioning
The oil and gas industry can be divided into upstream activities
(exploration and production), midstream (processing, storage
and transportation) and downstream activities (refining and
marketing). With no exploration exposure, Seacrest Petroleo is
focused on the up- and midstream parts of the oil & gas value
chain and has exclusive control over its infrastructure, stretching
from field production to an offshore tanker loading terminal,
allowing for cost-effective operations and direct access to markets
for its premium grade products.
Accelerated organic growth profile
The fields in the Cricaré and Norte Capixaba clusters have been
operational for decades and were divested by Petrobras as part of
its efforts to focus on offshore oil & gas production. With a current
average 17% recovery factor, these clusters are in the production
stage and are considered midlife assets.
The recovery factor is the ratio between the
amount of oil or gas expected to be recov-
ered from a field and the estimate of oil or
gas originally in place. Current low recovery
factors provide further upside in recover-
able oil and gas reserves.
The fields have been underinvested for a long time and the
strategy of Seacrest Petroleo is to raise production and the ulti-
mate recovery rate from the fields through various well-related
initiatives. The Company has organized its development activities
into four main initiatives:
Maintain existing production
Proved developed and producing reserves are currently esti-
mated at 18 mmboe
Execute on the backlog of maintenance
Reopening and/or upgrading the pump technology for 211 wells
and revamping facilities closed due to lack of maintenance
by Petrobras, coupled with the restarting of steam injection
programmes
Low-risk mature redevelopment
Drilling new in-fill oil wells, starting recompletion wells in
secondary intervals, and expanding existing steam injection
programmes to new areas
Upsides
Additional drilling, steam programmes, and associated gas
projects in the adjacent areas with potential to unlock addi-
tional reserves

The target is to increase the recovery rate to 29% from the current 17%, which would
unlock approximately 140 mmboe in 2P reserves and more than triple current daily
production in the next 3-5 years.
Seacrest Petroleo intends to leverage the existing facili-
ties in place, which provide significant processing, storage
and offload capacity to serve the future production
growth with only minor upgrades required.
The Company also intends to leverage the synergies it expects to generate by inte-
grating the infrastructure of the Cricaré and Norte Capixaba Clusters. For instance, oil
produced in some fields in the Cricaré Cluster will be treated in Norte Capixaba facilities
to optimise logistics and existing production capacity. Additionally, the Company
expects that its ownership of the export terminal, with its storage and export capabili-
ties, will provide more flexibility in its operations and allow it to leverage opportunities
for marketing oil and capture higher margins from its operations through a “trading
around the asset” strategy.
In the longer term, Seacrest Petroleo plans to return
capital to shareholders as dividends as production
ramp-up increases.

Assets and operations
Our integrated and synergistic assets in Espírito
Santo, Brazil offer a unique opportunity for growth
The portfolio consists of the Cricaré Cluster and the Norte
Capixaba Cluster. The Cricaré Cluster is 100% owned and oper-
ated by Seacrest Petroleo and was acquired in December 2021.
In February 2022, Seacrest Petroleo entered into a purchase
agreement with Petrobras for the acquisition of a 100% interest
and operatorship of the Norte Capixaba Cluster and the waterway
Terminal Norte Capixaba (TNC). The transaction closed on 12 April
2023, with the Company assuming full operations thereafter.
The Cricaré Cluster started operations in 1973 and is expected
to remain in operation until 2050. The production is sent from
the treatment stations to the TNC using a combination of trucks
and the Company´s own pipelines. The Cricaré Cluster assets
are among the oldest of Petrobras’ divested assets, with only a
13% recovery factor as of 31 December 2021, which reflected of
Petrobras’ lack of focus on the cluster.
In contrast to some of the other mature onshore fields divested by
Petrobras, the Norte Capixaba wells and facilities are in excellent
condition and well maintained, with new wells being drilled as
recently as in 2020. The TNC is also well maintained, with Petrobras
having performed significant maintenance in 2021 and 2022.
As of 31 December 2022, the Company’s pro forma proven
reserves (“1P”) were estimated to 85.5 mmboe (7.7% gas), of which
26.8 mmboe are located in the Cricaré Cluster and 58.7 mmboe
in the Norte Capixaba Cluster. The Group’s pro forma 2P reserves
were estimated to 139.6 mmboe (6.6% gas), of which 55.9 mmboe
are located in the Cricaré Cluster and 86.7 mmboe in the Norte
Capixaba Cluster.

Market and outlook
Macro environment
World energy consumption has steadily increased since the
industrial revolution, a trend which is expected to continue in
the medium term. Fossil fuels continue to supply around 82%
of the world’s primary energy. Oil is the largest energy source,
meeting 31% of the world’s energy consumption, while natural gas
accounts for 24% and coal for 27%.
The world’s consumption of primary energy, including oil, natural
gas, coal, nuclear, hydro power and other renewable energy,
increased by 5.2% in 2021. Global oil consumption increased by 5.3
mmboe/d or 5.8% in 2021.
South and Central America combined held a total of 18.7% of
the world’s oil reserves in 2022. Brazil is the largest oil producer,
producing more than half of the total production of the continent
with nearly 3 mmboe/d. Columbia and Venezuela are the second
and third largest, with 738,000 and 654,000 boe/d, respectively.
Oil prices
As evidenced by the price changes in recent years, the oil price
is highly dependent on the current and expected future supply
and demand of oil. As such, it is influenced by global macroeco-
nomic conditions and may experience material fluctuations on
the basis of economic indicators and economic events as well as
geopolitical events. Historically, oil prices have also been heavily
influenced by organisational and national policies, most signifi-
cantly the formation of OPEC and subsequent production policies
announced by the organisation. The figure below shows the Brent
oil price development from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2022.

Brazilian oil and gas operations
Brazil is the ninth-largest liquid producer in the world and the
largest producer in South America. Brazil’s economy has expe-
rienced significant growth in the last decade, which has led to a
growth in total energy consumption of around 29%. In 2021, Brazil
was the ninth-largest energy consumer in the world and petro-
leum and natural gas represented 47% of Brazil’s domestic energy
consumption.
The competitive situation in Brazil is characterised by state-con-
trolled Petrobras as the dominant player. In addition, there was a
surge of large companies entering Brazil on the back of very large
discoveries in the 2000s including ExxonMobil, Equinor, Shell and
Galp. Seacrest Petroleo is the third largest onshore oil and gas
producer in Brazil.
Brazilian regulatory environment
The regulatory framework in Brazil is considered favourable to oil
& gas producers, especially due to low royalties and income taxes
on oil production, compared to similar countries. The Sudene tax
benefit, which is applicable to projects located in north-east Brazil,
including Cricaré and Norte Capixaba, will reduce the Group’s
Brazilian income taxes from 34% to 15.25% for a period of 10 years,
from 2023 until 2032.
In February 2023, the Brazilian authorities enacted a 9.2% tempo-
rary export tax on crude oil effective from 1 March 2023 until
30 June 2023. It is unclear whether such tax will become perma-
nent. The tax is not expected have an impact on the Group’s
revenues during 2023.
Outlook
Seacrest Petroleo’s ambition is to create value through two main
drivers. Firstly, to increase the Company’s reserves through the
reopening of wells and production efficiency to achieve a higher
recovery factor. Secondly, to scale up production in a favourable
oil market and leverage our operations and infrastructure. For the
full year 2023 Seacrest Petroleo expects to produce an average of
8,5-9,000 boe/d, reaching a highpoint of more than 10,000 boe/d
in the third and fourth quarters.
The Company intends to reopen an additional ~125 wells
throughout 2023, reaching a total operational well count of more
than 400 compared to 151 at the start of the year.

Introduction
Seacrest Petroleo was established in 2019. In the following year, the Company underwent a gradual expansion
of the organization to prepare for the assumption of full operations of the Cricaré Cluster, which was effective
from January 2022. In parallel, substantial management resources were allocated to negotiating and
completing the Norte Capixaba acquisition during the year. The Company’s sustainability-related efforts are,
as a consequence, at an early stage, reflecting the short corporate and operating history. Seacrest Petroleo
nevertheless has significant ambitions within sustainability relating to energy use and efficiency, greenhouse
gas emission reductions, health and safety, workforce diversity and inclusion and responsiveness to local
communities. The Group’s corporate governance and business conduct framework has been set up to achieve
this.
Strategy and business model as
a context to sustainability
The fields in the Cricaré and Norte Capixaba clusters have been in
operation for decades and were divested by Petrobras as part of
its efforts to focus on offshore oil & gas production. The fields have
been underinvested for a long time and the strategy of Seacrest
Petroleo is to increase production and the ultimate recovery rate
from the fields through various means such as re-opening and
maintenance of existing wells, drilling new infill wells and starting
well recompletions, as well as steam injection programmes.
Combined, the target is to increase the ultimate recovery rate
to 29% from the current 17%, which would unlock around 140
mmboe and more than triple current daily production in the next
3-5 years.
The Company owns all related infrastructure in and from the fields,
consisting of pipelines and treatment facilities. This transports the oil
to the Norte Capixaba Terminal, which is fully owned by the Company
and consists of storage facilities and export facilities through an
offshore buoy. The infrastructure was developed by the previous
owner, Petrobras, with an estimated investment of USD 1 billion.
With all infrastructure already in place, the Group enjoys a favour-
able cost position and is able to operate with lower emissions and
risk of spills and environmental damage, compared to conven-
tional large-scale developments onshore or offshore.

this will be to develop group wide systems to track and monitor
parameters related to health & safety, environmental and climate
impact, as well as breaches of the ethical framework for the
Company
Governance and risk management
The Management and the Board are responsible for ensuring
that the Company conducts its business with integrity and with
due focus on sustainable and responsible operations and that
it applies principles for sound corporate governance. The Board
holds the highest authority in the Company’s decision-making
hierarchy to approve matters of significance. The Company is
committed to conducting business in a fair, ethical and trans-
parent manner by adhering to the principles and guidelines
stated in the Company’s code of conduct.
Seacrest Petroleo has a risk management procedure formulated
in its Business Continuity Plan and Policy. This policy is focused on
managing unforeseen operational incidents, such as storms, fires,
water damage or significant technological failures.
The Company intends to establish a wider risk management
system to manage its growing operations.

Health and Safety
Seacrest Petroleo follows the principles of “no harm to people” and “no accidents”. Maintaining good health &
safety performance is essential to operate and integral to attracting and retaining a skilled workforce, as well
as to continuously maintain good relations with the local communities where we operate. Seacrest Petroleo is
subject to strict health and safety regulations in Brazil, as well as evolving industry standards and international
conventions. The impact of breaching such regulations may be material.
Policies
Seacrest Petroleo has a Health, Environment and Safety Policy,
reflecting its commitment to operate responsibly and securely
and to never compromise on the Group’s standards for health,
safety and the environment. Among other things, the Policy
reflects the Company’s commitments to:
Comply with or exceed legal requirements and other
requirements
Define objectives and goals that lead to improvements
Support and train staff and ensure their competence in HSE
matters
Manage the risks associated with contractors
Report, investigate and learn from any accidents or near misses
Routinely inspect workplaces and to audit systems and
processes
Look for ways to improve our performance
Everyone involved with Seacrest Petroleo has the responsibility to
comply with this Policy and to assist in its execution.
The Company is satisfied with its health and safety performance
during 2022, its first year of true operations. The focus for 2023 will
be on strengthening the safety culture to eliminate high potential
incidents and near misses.

Climate and the Environment
Leveraging existing infrastructure for its activities is core to Seacrest Petroleo. With no need for construction
and development activity in the Company’s operations, a substantial source of emissions is removed. Moreover,
onshore oil & gas production is generally lower in emissions than offshore oil & gas and entails reduced oil spill
risk compared to offshore operations. The infrastructure is already in place in developed areas, which implies
lower impacts on the native vegetation and environment.
On the other hand, the risk of environmental impacts, such as oil
spills and leaks, cannot be eliminated. The Company is subject to
strict environmental regulations and permits in Brazil. Seacrest
Petroleo complies with all license-to-operate requirements when it
comes to environmental management, from water management
to GHG emissions and aims to exceed all environmental regulations
through a continuous process of measurement and improvement.
Physical climate risk is a relevant factor for our operations due to
the increased frequency and severity of storms that may result
in production disruptions and damage to equipment and assets.
Longer term transition risks include global carbon emission taxation
schemes, which may have a negative impact on demand for hydro-
carbons or reduce the profitability of our operations, if levied on the
producers. Access to financing may also become more restricted as
lenders may be incentivised away from fossil fuels towards renew-
able energies and the green energy transition in general.
Seacrest therefore takes its climate responsibility seriously and
plans to set clear targets for performance related to carbon emis-
sions to ensure that it delivers a product that is low on emissions
and low on environmental impact.
KPIs and performance management
Seacrest Petroleo is required to track GHG emissions and energy
use related to production, and report this to the ANP (the Brazil
National Petroleum Agency) and the IBAMA (the Brazilian
Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources),
as specified in the environmental licenses for the fields. The
reporting covers both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
As the Group took over operations at the Cricaré Cluster from
January 2022, there are no prior historical numbers available. For
comparison, the crude oil and petroleum products used refer to
diesel oil used for power generation, while the renewable energy
consumption refers to alcohol-based additives mixed into the fuel.
The Group has engaged with a sustainability consultancy to
expand the reporting structure, and to include other relevant
parameters such as water use, waste, and environmental impacts.
This wider reporting system will be up and running from 2023 and
onwards.

Board of Directors’ report
Introduction
Seacrest Petroleo is an independent oil and gas production
company with an integrated portfolio of producing oil fields
and export infrastructure onshore in Espírito Santo, Brazil. The
Company has exclusive control over its infrastructure, continu-
ously from field production to an offshore tanker loading terminal,
allowing for cost-effective operations, and enabling direct access
to markets for its premium grade products.
The Company was incorporated in Bermuda on 5 June 2019 as
an exempted company limited by shares under the Bermuda
Companies Act. The Company’s registered office address is
Victoria Place, 31 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM 10, Bermuda, and its
website is www.seacrestpetroleo.com.
Seacrest Petroleo is headquartered in Bermuda, while the Group’s
business activities are conducted in Brazil through the Rio de
Janeiro office. The Company also has representatives in Uruguay
and in Norway.
The Company was formed to acquire assets from Petrobras’
divestment programme. In August 2020, through its wholly
owned Brazilian subsidiary Seacrest SPE Cricaré S.A., the
Company entered into an agreement with Petrobras to acquire
the Cricaré cluster, which comprises 27 onshore oil concessions
and the related oil and gas production assets. The acquisition
closed in December 2021 and the Company assumed operational
responsibility of Cricaré from January 2022.
In December 2021, the Company was identified by Petrobras as
the winning bidder for the Norte Capixaba Cluster and Seacrest
Petroleo entered into a purchase agreement with Petrobras
for the acquisition of the cluster in February 2022. The Norte
Capixaba Cluster comprises four onshore oil concessions with
related oil and gas production assets and the Terminal Norte
Capixaba, which is operated by a subsidiary of Petrobras. The
closing of the Norte Capixaba Acquisition took place on 12 April
2023, after which the Company became the third largest onshore
oil and gas producer in Brazil in terms of reserves and production.
Operational review
Production at the Cricaré Cluster commenced in January 2022
after a nine-month transition period. During 2022, Seacrest
Petroleo undertook several initiatives to increase production from
the Cluster:
Re-opening shut-in wells
Pump stroke optimization
Steam injection cycles and workovers
As a result of these initiatives, the number of actively producing wells
increased from 90 wells at the start of the year to 151 wells at the end
of the year. Well productivity was also significantly enhanced. Hence
the Company was able to more than double the daily production
from the Cluster, with the average production in fourth quarter of
2022 being 2.6 times higher than the production in January.
Operations were also focused on the operational transition period
at the Norte Capixaba Cluster, following the purchase agreement
entered into in February 2022, as well as on securing the required
approvals, permits and funds to consummate the acquisition of
the Cluster during 2023.
As a result of the start of production at Cricaré, and the prepara-
tion for the operational take-over at Norte Capixaba, the Company
had a substantial increase in the number of employees, which
was 103 at the end of 2022, up from 25 the year before.
Reserves and resources
At year end 2022, the Company had certified proforma 2P
reserves of 139.6 mmboe, consisting of 93% oil reserves and 7%
natural gas reserves. Of this, 62% (85.5 mmboe) are regarded as 1P
reserves and the remainder (54.1 mmboe) as 2P reserves. There is
an additional 12.3 mmboe in 3P reserves. The reserves include the
Norte Capixaba Cluster, which was acquired on 12 April 2023.
Certified resources in place across the two clusters amount to 1.15
bnboe and the recovery rate to date is a combined 17%. The certi-
fied 2P reserves for both clusters imply a recovery rate of 29%.

Health, safety, security, environ-
ment and quality (HSSEQ)
Health, safety, security, environment and quality (“HSSEQ”)
have the highest priority throughout the Seacrest Petroleo
organisation. The Company has established policies for safety,
security, occupational health and environmental management.
The Company prioritises safety in all its operations and has “zero
harm” as an overriding objective for personnel and the environ-
ment. The Company also shows due respect for the individual,
human rights and employment practices.
Financial review
The consolidated financial figures for Seacrest Petroleo relate
to the full-year 2022. The comparable figures from 2021 are, as
referenced above, based on no income generating activity, as the
Company did not assume operational responsibility at Cricaré
until January 2022.
Profit and loss
Income statement revenue was USD 33.6 million in 2022
compared to zero revenues in 2021. Cost of sales and general and
administrative expenses were USD 67.8 million in 2022 compared

(EBITDA) for 2022 were USD 11.1 million compared to losses of
USD 14.6 million in 2021.
Operating loss was USD 34.2 million in 2022 compared to a loss of
USD 14.6 million in 2021.
The changes in revenue and EBITDA were due to the Company
taking over operations at the Cricaré Cluster from January 2022.
The changes in operating losses were also affected by amorti-
zation of the intangible assets referring to the Cricaré Cluster
concession.
Net financial expenses were USD 104.6 million compared to net
financial income of USD 0.5 million in 2021. The main drivers for
the change refer to USD 34.5 million of present value adjustment
and USD 55.1 million of hedging costs.
Tax income (deferred) was USD 19.6 million in 2022. The Company
did not record any tax expense or income in 2021.

basis.

Risk factors
Seacrest Petroleo’s risk exposure is analysed and evaluated to
ensure sound internal control and appropriate risk management
based on internal values, policies, and code of ethics. Seacrest
Petroleo is exposed to market risk (including commodity price
risk), political risk, climate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.
Development of oil and gas fields is associated with risks including
but not limited to, the price of crude oil, cost overruns, production
disruptions, as well as delays compared to initial plans. Some of the
most important risk factors are related to the estimation and recov-
erability of reserves. Changes to energy prices might influence the
economic viability of ongoing and planned developments and
anticipated revenues from the production of such developments.
Furthermore, the global energy transition trend has heightened
risk related to climate change for Seacrest Petroleo.
Seacrest Petroleo expects continued regulatory attention
including changes to taxation relating to climate change. The
overall risk management programme focuses on addressing
these risks and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on
Seacrest Petroleo’s financial performance.
The most important operational risk factors are related to the
operation of the Cricaré and Norte Capixaba clusters and the
execution of projects, which could lead to accidents, oil spills and
damage to the environment if not managed properly.
Seacrest Petroleo has a limited indirect exposure to the war in
Ukraine.
Recent global macroeconomic and geopolitical developments
have supported higher energy prices amid concerns for regional
energy shortages. At the same time, project execution risk has
increased with supply chain and logistics challenges, inflationary
pressures, and higher interest rates. Seacrest Petroleo is focused
on mitigating potential impacts from supply chain challenges
and commodity inflation across its development portfolio.
Seacrest Petroleo’s operational activities are subject to tax in
Brazil. As assets and production are long-term in nature, Seacrest
Petroleo’s results could be exposed to risk of changes to tax legis-
lation in Brazil.
Seacrest Petroleo is also subject to risks associated with the
overall energy policies in Brazil, as well as changes to regulatory
regimes, that may emerge for political reasons.
For more information about risk factors identified for the
Company, see the prospectus dated 8 February, 2023, in relation
to the IPO of Seacrest Petroleo.
Outlook
Seacrest Petroleo prioritises safety first with zero harm as an
overriding objective for people and the environment. Seacrest
Petroleo is reducing its carbon footprint by developing discovered
oil and gas resources through the use of existing production
infrastructure.
Seacrest Petroleo expects oil and gas to remain an important part
of the global energy mix in decades to come and remains focused
on realising long-term value creation via its phased development
strategy and investments in high-return assets. The flexible
investment strategy fits a range of market scenarios and positions
Seacrest Petroleo to address both short- and long-term opportu-
nities to drive cash flows and earnings.
Energy prices remain at historically high levels despite a softening
of macroeconomic drivers during 2022 as geopolitical conflict,
global supply chain challenges, inflation, and higher interest rates
slowed global economic growth. This is primarily due to strong
underlying global energy demand combined with the war in
Ukraine and sanctions imposed on Russia which have reduced
regional energy supply in Europe and created concerns about
shortages.
Seacrest Petroleo expects to create significant value for its
stakeholders going forward. Short-term, the focus is on raising
production and ultimate resource recovery from the Cricaré and
Norte Capixaba Clusters significantly. The Company aims to triple
the combined production from the two clusters by 2025 and to
add additional reserves to its 2P reserve base in the process

This should support significant positive cash flow at current oil
price levels. Seacrest Petroleo has a solid capital base with the
recent USD 260 million IPO and the USD 300 million credit facility
entered into to finance the Norte Capixaba acquisition.
Events after the reporting date
In February 2023, Seacrest Petroleo conducted an initial public
offering (IPO) of 443,666,666 shares for gross proceeds of USD 260
million. The shares were officially listed on the Euronext Expand
Oslo market on 23 February 2023 under the ticker SEAPT. The IPO
was undertaken to expand the Company’s shareholder base, to
secure funding to complete the Norte Capixaba transaction and
to provide funds for the substantial development programmes for
the Company’s assets.
In February 2023, Seacrest Petroleo also signed a USD 300 million
credit agreement with five banks in Brazil, which together with
the proceeds from the IPO was used to finance the balance of the
purchase price owed to Petrobras for the Norte Capixaba Cluster
and to acquire from Mercuria and restructure the Company’s
existing USD 45 million debt incurred to finance the acquisition
of the Cricaré Cluster. The Credit Agreement is structured as a
pre-export financing or PPE for Brazilian purposes.
On 3 April 2023, the Company registered a reverse share split of
the Company’s shares at a ratio of 2:1. Following the registration,
the number of authorised shares in the Company amounts to
374,062,500 common shares and 75,000,000 undesignated shares.
On 12 April 2023, Seacrest Petroleo SPE Norte Capixaba Ltda,
a subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition from
Petrobras of the Norte Capixaba Cluster assets. The closing
consideration paid to Petrobras was USD 426.65 million, which
is in addition to USD 35.85 million paid on the signing of the
purchase contract on 23 February 2022 and up to USD 66 million
of contingent payments that are dependent on future Brent
prices. The draw down of the USD 300 million credit facility took
place immediately prior to completing the acquisition.

Corporate Governance
Seacrest Petroleo strives to protect and enhance shareholder value through openness, integrity and equal
shareholder treatment. The Company is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance
and investor relations as a key element of the strategy to reduce risks and increase value creation for the
benefit of shareholders, employees, the environment and the society as a whole.
1. Corporate Governance in Seacrest
Petroleo Bermuda Ltd
Seacrest Petroleo Bermuda Limited is a Bermuda limited liability
company listed on Euronext Expand Oslo. Seacrest Petroleo
Bermuda Limited (hereinafter ”Seacrest Petroleo” or ”Company”)
and its activities are primarily governed by the Bermuda
Companies Act, its Memorandum of Association and its Bye-laws.
In addition, the Company is subject to certain aspects of the
Norwegian Securities Trading Act, the Norwegian Accounting Act
and the continuing obligations for companies listed on the Oslo
Stock Exchange.
The Board of Directors of Seacrest Petroleo (“Board”) has prepared
the following report that explains the Group’s corporate govern-
ance practices and how it has complied with the Norwegian Code
of Practice for Corporate Governance (the “Corporate Governance
Code”) in the preceding year. The application of the Corporate
Governance Code is based on the “comply or explain” principle
and deviations from the Code, if any, are explained under the
relevant item. The Group’s corporate governance practices are
subject to annual reviews and discussions by the Board.
Subject to the deviations identified below, the Company will seek
to comply with the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate
Governance.
Deviations to the Code
In its own assessment, the Company as at 31 December 2022 did
not comply with the following recommendations of the Corporate
Governance Code:
Section 2 – The Business: Pursuant to the Company’s
Memorandum of Association, the objects for which the
Company was formed and incorporated are unrestricted
Section 3 – Equity and dividends:
The Board of Directors’ authority to increase the Company’s
issued share capital is limited to the extent of its authorized
but unissued share capital at any time and is not restricted to
specific purposes
The Company’s Bye-laws permit the Board of Directors to
grant share options in respect of authorized but unissued
shares or shares held in treasury to employees without
requiring that a general meeting of shareholders be
presented with the volume or other terms and conditions of
such grant
Under the Company’s Bye-laws, the Board of Directors may
declare dividends and distributions without the approval of a
general meeting of shareholders
Section 4 – Transactions with close associates: The Bermuda
Companies Act does not contain special case management
requirements for how specifically defined agreements between
public companies and close associates are to be handled
Section 6 – General meetings:
The Company will normally not have the entire Board of
Directors attend general meetings, as this is not required by
Bermuda law
Pursuant to the Company’s Bye-laws, general meetings of
shareholders are chaired by the chairman of the Board of
Directors or, in his absence, another member of the Board of
Directors

Section 7 – Board of directors: composition
and independence:
The chairman of the Board of Directors is elected by the
Board of Directors and not by the shareholders
The Board of Directors will include members of the
Management
Section 8 – The work of the board of directors: The Board of
Directors has not established board rules as the Company’s
Bye-laws are more detailed
Section 8.2 and 8.3: The Nomination and Corporate Governance
Committee is established by and reports to the Board of
Directors. Further, members of the Board of Directors comprise
the members of the Nomination and Corporate Governance
Committee
Section 10 – Remuneration of the board of directors: The
remuneration of the Board of Directors is determined by the
Board of Directors based on recommendations made by the
Remuneration Committee. Further, members of the Board of
Directors will participate in the Company’s share option plan
Section 13 – Take-overs: The Company does not have separate
guidelines on how to respond in the event of a takeover bid
2. The business
Seacrest Petroleo is an independent oil and gas producer focused
on the redevelopment of mid-life onshore producing oil and gas
fields.
The Company’s principal strategies are described in the Strategy
section of the annual report and on the Company’s website
www.seacrestpetroleo.com.
The Company’s Memorandum of Association provides that the
Company’s objects and purposes are unrestricted. This deviates
from the recommendation in the Corporate Governance Code but
is in line with the requirements of the Bermuda Companies Act.
3. Equity and dividends
Equity
On 31 December, 2022, the Company’s consolidated equity was
USD -52.7 million, which is equivalent to -24% of total assets. The
Board of Directors considered the capital structure at year end to
be satisfactory in relation to the Company’s objectives, strategy
and risk profile.
Dividend policy
The Company has not paid dividends on its shares during the
period from its incorporation and up to the date of this report.
The Company’s priority is to return excess free cash to its share-
holders whenever possible, as determined by the Board of
Directors. Any dividends declared in the future will be at the sole
discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon earn-
ings, market prospects, current capital expenditure programs and
investment opportunities.
Since the Company is a holding company with no material assets
other than the shares of the Company’s subsidiaries through
which the Company conducts its operations, the Company’s
ability to pay dividends will depend on its subsidiaries distributing
their earnings and cash flow to the Company. Furthermore,
certain covenants in the New Credit Agreement restrict the
payment of dividends unless certain covenant tests are met.
Under the Company’s Bye-laws, the Board of Directors may
declare dividends and distributions without the approval of a
general meeting of shareholders. This is in line with Bermuda
corporate practices but deviates from the Corporate Governance
Code and Norwegian corporate practices whereby dividends and
distributions require the approval of a general meeting of share-
holders.
Under Bermuda law, a company may not declare or pay a divi-
dend or distribution if there are reasonable grounds for believing
that: (a) it is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its
liabilities as they become due; or (b) the realisable value of its
assets would as a result of the dividend or distribution be less than
its liabilities.
Share capital increases and issuance of shares
The Board of Directors has been authorised by its Bye-laws to
issue shares in the Company up to the number of shares repre-
senting the authorised share capital. The Board of Directors is also
authorised to purchase the Company’s shares and hold these in
treasury.

The authorisations to issue authorised but unissued shares
and to acquire the Company’s own shares are not restricted to
any specific purposes or to a specific period as the Corporate
Governance Code recommends.
4. Equal treatment of shareholders
The Company has one class of shares. Each share in the Company
carries one vote, and all shares carry equal rights, including the
right to participate in general meetings. All shareholders shall be
treated on an equal basis, unless there is just cause for treating
them differently in the best common interest of the Company
and its shareholders.
Pre-emption rights to subscribe
Under the Bermuda Companies Act, no shareholder has a
pre-emptive right to subscribe for new shares in a limited
company unless (and only to the extent that) such right is
expressly granted to the shareholder under the Bye-laws of such
company or under a contract between the shareholder and such
company. The Company’s Bye-laws do not provide for pre-emp-
tive rights.
Trading in treasury shares
In the event of a future share buy-back programme, the Board
of Directors will aim to ensure that all transactions pursuant to
such programme will be carried out either through the trading
system at the Oslo Stock Exchange or at prevailing prices at the
Oslo Stock Exchange and in accordance with the Market Abuse
Regulation (“MAR”). In the event of such programme, the Board
of Directors will take the Company’s and shareholders’ interests
into consideration and aim to maintain transparency and equal
treatment of all shareholders. If there is limited liquidity in the
Company’s shares, the Company shall consider other ways to
ensure equal treatment of all shareholders.
The Board of Directors may consider establishing internal rules
governing the Company’s trading in treasury shares and other
financial instruments.
Transactions with close associates
The Board of Directors aims to ensure that any material future
transactions between the Company and shareholders, a share-
holder’s parent company, board members, executive personnel
or close associates of any such parties are entered into on arm’s
length terms.
The Bye-Laws do not prohibit a Board Member from being a party
to, or otherwise having an interest in, any transaction or arrange-
ment with the Company or in which the Company is otherwise
interested. The Bye-Laws provide that a Board Member who has
an interest in any transaction or arrangement with the Company
and who has complied with the provisions of the Bermuda
Companies Act and with the Bye-Laws with regard to disclosure
of such interest shall, subject to limited exceptions under the
Bye-Laws, be entitled to vote in respect of any transaction or
arrangement in which he/her is so interested and taken into
account in ascertaining whether a quorum is present.
In contrast to Norwegian legislation, the Bermuda Companies
Act does not contain special case management requirements for
how specifically defined agreements between public companies
and close associates are to be handled. The Board of Directors will
consider and determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether any
independent third party evaluations are required when entering
into agreements with close associates (but is not required by
Bermuda law to do so).
5. Freely negotiable shares
The shares of the Company are freely transferable. The Board of
Directors has certain discretion to decline to register a transfer
of shares pursuant to the Company’s Bye-laws, including to (i)
decline to register a transfer of any share which is not a fully-paid
share (the Company does not, however, expect to issue any shares
which are not fully paid) and (ii) where the holder of the shares
concerned has defaulted in an obligation to disclose the informa-
tion required by the Company’s Bye-laws in respect of his interest
in those shares.

6. General meetings
The Board of Directors shall ensure that as many of the
Company’s shareholders as possible are able to exercise their
voting rights at the Company’s general meetings of shareholders,
and that each general meeting is an effective forum for share-
holders and the Board of Directors. Special general meetings
(SGM) can be called by the Board of Directors if deemed neces-
sary or upon the requisition of shareholders representing at least
10% of the Company’s share capital. In addition, pursuant to the
Bye-Laws, for such time as a shareholder of the Company bene-
ficially owns at least twenty per cent (20%) of the issued shares
in the Company, special general meetings shall also be called by
the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board of Directors
on the written request of such shareholder delivered to the
Company’s registered office.
Notification
To form a view on all matters to be considered at the meeting, the
deadline for shareholders to submit proxy votes is set as close to
the date of the meeting as possible.
Participation and execution
Representatives of the Board will attend the Company’s general
meetings. However, the Company will not normally have the
entire Board attend general meetings, unless this is considered
necessary in light of the matters to be dealt with. This is not a
requirement by Bermuda law but represents a deviation from the
Corporate Governance Code which states that arrangements shall
be made to ensure participation by all directors.
The Board and the chair of the general meeting ensure that the
shareholders are able to vote separately on each candidate nomi-
nated for election to the Board.
The general meeting is chaired by the chair of the Board or a
person appointed by the chair. This simplifies the preparations
for the general meetings. In the Company’s experience, its proce-
dures for the chairmanship and execution of general meetings
have proven satisfactory. However, this represents a deviation
from the Corporate Governance Code which states that the Board
should seek to ensure that an independent chair is appointed, if
considered necessary based on the agenda items or other rele-
vant circumstances.
The right to participate and vote at the general meeting may only
be exercised by shareholders whose shareholdings are entered
in the register of shareholders, including the Norwegian Central
Securities Depository (the “VPS”), on the record date set for the
meeting by the Board, as stipulated by the Company’s Bye-laws
in accordance with statutory law. Instead of participating at the
general meeting, shareholders may vote in advance by a proxy,
with or without voting instructions.
7. Board of directors: composition
and independence
Pursuant to the Company’s Bye-laws, the Board of Directors shall
consist of between five and seven members. On 31 December
2022, the Board of Directors consisted of seven members (see
overview in the Board of Directors’ report)). The chairperson of the
Board is elected by the Board.
The Board of Directors’ composition ensures that it can attend
to the common interests of all shareholders in the Company and
meet the Company’s need for expertise, capacity and diversity.
Attention is paid to ensure that the Board of Directors can func-
tion effectively as a collegiate body.
The composition of the Board of Directors ensures that it can
operate independently of any particular interests. Except for
two members of the Management serving on the Board, the
composition of the Board of Directors is in compliance with the
independence requirements of the Corporate Governance Code,
meaning that the majority of the shareholder-elected members
of the Board of Directors are independent of the Company’s
executive management and material business contacts.
The Board of Directors will, in accordance with normal procedures
for Bermuda companies, elect its chairman. This differs from the
recommendation in the Corporate Governance Code that the
general meeting of shareholders shall elect the chairman of the
Board of Directors.
Each member of the Board of Directors will hold office until the
next annual general meeting following his or her election or until
his or her earlier removal or resignation.
The Company’s annual report and the website provide informa-
tion to illustrate the expertise of the members of the Board of
Directors. The Board considers its composition to be diverse and
represent required competencies including financial and industrial

company.
8. The work of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is responsible for the overall manage-
ment of the Company and may exercise all of the powers of the
Company not reserved for the Company’s shareholders by the
Bye-laws and Bermuda law.
The Board of Directors shall evaluate its performance and exper-
tise annually. This evaluation shall include the composition of
the Board of Directors and the manner in which its members
function, both individually and as a group, in relation to the objec-
tives set out for its work. The report shall be made available to the
Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee.
A Director who has a personal interest in any contract with the
Company must declare his interest at the first opportunity.
The Board of Directors may establish ad hoc board committees as
it determines necessary, and has the following permanent board
committees since 23 February 2023:
Audit Committee
Remuneration Committee
Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee
Each committee has its own written terms of reference. The terms of
reference set forth the purposes and responsibilities of the commit-
tees, consistent with the provisions of the Company’s Bye-Laws,
applicable law, and listing standards and “best practices”. The
chairperson of each committee, in consultation with the appropriate
members of the committee, will develop the committee’s agenda.
Committee members will be appointed by the Board of Directors
upon recommendation of the Nomination and Corporate
Governance Committee. Each committee will be composed of no
fewer than the number of members set forth in their respective
terms of reference. In addition, each committee member must
satisfy the membership requirements set forth in the relevant
committee terms of reference. A member of the Board of
Directors may serve on more than one committee.
8.1 The Audit Committee
The Company has established an Audit Committee comprised of
three members of the Board of Directors.
The members of the Audit Committee are appointed by and
among the members of the Board of Directors. At least one of
the members shall be independent of the Company’s business,
of which at least one member shall have qualifications within
accounting or auditing. Board members who are also members
of the Management cannot be members of the Audit Committee.
The primary purpose of the Audit Committee shall be to assist
the Board of Directors in the preparation of decisions on issues
regarding risk management, internal control, financial reporting
and auditing. The duties of the Audit Committee include, but are
not limited to, oversight of:
reviewing and discussing with Management and the auditors
prior to public dissemination the Company’s audited financial
statements and quarterly financial statements, including
matters required to be discussed by the applicable auditing
standards from time to time;
approving the audit and non-audit services to be performed by
the independent auditors;
in consultation with the auditors, Management and internal
finance team, monitoring the integrity of the Company’s finan-
cial reporting processes;
overseeing the performance of the Company’s internal finance
and audit function;
reviewing and discussing with the Company’s general counsel
any legal matters that could have a significant impact on the
Company financial statements; and
reviewing and discussing with Management and the auditors
the Company guidelines and policies with respect to risk
assessment and risk management.
On 31 December 2022, the Audit Committee consisted of Rune
Olav Pedersen, Denis Chatelan and Paul Murray.
8.2 The Remuneration Committee
The Board of Directors has established a Remuneration
Committee comprised of two members of the Board of Directors.
The purpose of the Remuneration Committee is, inter alia, to
evaluate and propose the compensation of the Company’s CEO
and other members of the Management and the members of the
Board of Directors.

The members of the Remuneration Committee shall be
appointed by and among the members of the Board of Directors,
and shall be independent of the Management.
On 23 February 2023, the Remuneration Committee consisted of
Paulo Ricardo da S. dos Santos and Denis Chatelan.
8.3 The Nomination and Corporate
Governance Committee
The Board of Directors has established a Nomination and
Corporate Governance Committee comprised of three members
of the Board of Directors.
The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee is
responsible for assisting the Board of Directors in (i) identi-
fying individuals qualified to become members of the Board
of Directors, consistent with criteria approved by the Board of
Directors, (ii) recommending to the Board the Directors nominees
to stand for election at the next annual general meeting, (iii)
developing and recommending to the Board of Directors a set of
corporate governance principles applicable to the Company and
assisting the Board of Directors in complying with them, (iv) over-
seeing the evaluation of the Board of Directors and Management,
(v) recommending members of the Board of Directors to serve on
other committees of the Board of Directors and evaluating the
functions and performance of such committees, (vi) overseeing
and approving the Management continuity planning process and
(vii) otherwise taking a leadership role in shaping the corporate
governance of the Company.
The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee is estab-
lished by and reports to the Board of Directors. This deviates
from the Corporate Governance Code which recommends that
a nomination committee shall be established by and report its
recommendations to the general meeting of shareholders.
Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code, a nomination
committee should not include any executive personnel or any
member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company
only partly complies with this recommendation as members of
the Board of Directors comprise the members of the nomination
and corporate governance committee. Members of the Board
of Directors who are also members of the Company’s executive
management cannot be members of the committee.
On 23 February 2023, the Nomination and Corporate Governance
Committee consisted of Rune Olav Pedersen, Paulo Ricardo da S.
dos Santos and Paul Murray.
9. Risk management and internal control
Risk management and internal control are given high priority by
the Board of Directors, ensuring that adequate systems for risk
management and internal control are in place. The control system
consists of interdependent areas which include risk management,
control environment, control activities, information and commu-
nication and monitoring.
The Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
sufficient internal controls over financial reporting. Company
specific policies, standards and accounting principles have been
developed for the annual and quarterly financial reporting of the
Group. The CEO and the CFO supervise and oversee the external
reporting and the internal reporting processes. This includes
assessing financial reporting risks and internal controls over finan-
cial reporting of the Group. The Company’s consolidated financial
statements are prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International
Accounting Standards.
The Board of Directors shall ensure that the Company has sound
internal controls and systems for risk management, including
compliance with the Company’s corporate values, ethical guide-
lines and guidelines for corporate social responsibility.
The Board of Directors shall undertake a complete annual review
of risks related to the Group’s business, to be carried out together
with the review of the annual financial statements. The Audit
Committee shall assist the Board of Directors on an ongoing
basis in monitoring the Company’s system for risk management
and internal control. In connection with the quarterly financial
statements, the Audit Committee shall present to the Board
of Directors reviews and information regarding the Company’s
current business performance and risks.
10. Remuneration of the Board of Directors
The remuneration of the Board of Directors is determined by
the Board of Directors based on recommendations by the
Remuneration Committee in accordance with the policies and

principles set forth in its terms of reference and the terms of such
plans as may be adopted by the Board of Directors from time
to time. The Corporate Governance Code recommends that the
remuneration of the Board of Directors is determined by the
general meeting of shareholders based on the recommendations
of a nomination committee. As such, the determination of remu-
neration by the Board of Directors deviates from the Corporate
Governance Code.
Board members may also be paid all travel, hotel and other
expenses properly incurred by them in connection with the
Company’s business or the discharge of their duties as directors.
The remuneration of the Board of Directors shall reflect the Board
of Directors’ responsibility, expertise, time commitment and the
complexity of the Company’s activities. Performance-related
remuneration of the executive management shall be linked to
value creation for shareholders or to the Company’s profit over
time. Such arrangements are meant to incentivise performance
and shall be based on quantifiable factors the employee may
influence, and then be rewarded accordingly. There should be a
cap on performance-related remuneration.
Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code, board members
should not participate in any incentive or share option
programmes. Board members of the Company will participate in
the Company’s share option plan as the Company considers such
participation beneficial to attract and retain competent board
members and is in line with Bermuda corporate practices.
With reference to regulations of the Norwegian Accounting Act,
the Corporate Governance Code recommends that the annual
report provides details of all elements of the remuneration and
benefits for each board member. The Company is not required
under Bermuda law to disclose the remuneration of the Board of
Directors on an individual basis and does not, at present, consider
it necessary to provide such information in the annual report.
Further, the Corporate Governance Code recommends that
members of the Board of Directors should not take on specific
assignments for the Company in addition to their appointment
as members of the Board of Directors. The Company will not
refrain from engaging members of the Board of Directors for
specific assignments for the Company if such engagement is
considered beneficial for the Company. This differs from the
recommendation in the Corporate Governance Code. However,
such assignments will be disclosed to the Board of Directors and
the Board of Directors shall approve the assignment, as well as
the remuneration.
11. Remuneration of the executive personnel
The Board of Directors shall, with the assistance from the
Company’s Remuneration Committee, prepare a clear policy for
the determination of salary and other remuneration of executive
personnel. The policy shall contribute to the Company’s commer-
cial strategy, long-term interests and financial viability.
The Remuneration Committee shall oversee the Company’s
arrangements in respect of salary and other remuneration to
help ensure the alignment of interests of the Management and
shareholders.
Any performance-related remuneration shall be subject to an
absolute limit.
The Corporate Governance Code recommends that the Company
prepares a report on remuneration to executive management
on an annual basis, in accordance with the Norwegian Public
Limited Liability Companies Act section 6-16 b. The Company is
not required under Bermuda law to prepare a report on remuner-
ation to executive management. At present, the Company does
not consider it necessary to prepare a report on remuneration to
executive management, but will assess whether to prepare such
report going forward.
12. Information and communications
The Board of Directors has adopted Instructions for the Contact
Person with the Oslo Stock Exchange and an Investor Relations
Policy, which set forth the Company’s disclosure obligations and
procedures. The Board of Directors will seek to ensure that market
participants receive correct, clear, relevant and up-to-date infor-
mation in a timely manner, taking into account the requirement
for equal treatment of all participants in the securities market.
The Company shall have procedures for establishing discussions
with its main shareholders to enable the Board of Directors to
develop a balanced understanding of the circumstances and focus
of such shareholders. Such discussions shall be undertaken in
compliance with the provisions of applicable laws and regulations.

All information distributed to the Company’s shareholders will be
published on the Company’s website at the same time as it is sent
to shareholders.
13. Takeovers
In the event the Company becomes the subject of a takeover bid,
the Board of Directors shall seek to ensure that the Company’s
shareholders are treated equally, and that the Company’s business
is not unnecessarily interrupted. The Board of Directors shall also
ensure that the shareholders have sufficient information and time to
assess any such offer. Bermuda law does not provide for a takeover
code governing acquisition of Bermuda-registered listed companies.
The Company’s Bye-laws contain the following defensive meas-
ures that are intended to hinder a hostile acquisition of shares in
the Company:
The creation of undesignated share rights that would enable
the company to issue new shares with enhanced voting or
economic shares, by board action only, in the case of a hostile
approach
Giving the Company the right to demand information from
registered shareholders as to the beneficial interests in shares
and to suspend share rights in the case of failure to disclose
interests
Giving the Seacrest sponsor shareholder the right to requisition
the calling of special general meetings for so long as it holds
20% or more of the shares
The shareholder approval required to approve a merger/
amalgamation is increased from simple majority to 75%, if
the merger/amalgamation is not approved by the Board of
Directors
The shareholder approval required to approve a migration of
the company out of Bermuda, if not approved by the Board of
Directors is increased from simple majority to 75%
Cumulative voting is adopted here to create an increased
power for minority shareholders, including the Seacrest sponsor
shareholder, to secure representation on the Board of Directors
Procedural requirements to the appointment of a director
proposed by a shareholder, and not the Board of Directors
Directors can only be removed by shareholders by a 75%
majority vote
The threshold shareholder vote for an amendment of the Bye-laws
is increased from simple majority to 75% shareholder approval
However, the Board of Directors has not established written
guiding principles for how it will act in the event of a takeover bid,
as such situations are normally characterizsed by concrete and
one-off situations which make a guideline challenging to prepare.
In the event a takeover were to occur, the Board of Directors
will consider the relevant recommendations in the Corporate
Governance Code and whether the concrete situation entails that
the recommendations in the Corporate Governance Code can be
complied with.
14. Auditor
The Board of Directors will require the Company’s auditor
to annually present to the Audit Committee a review of the
Company’s internal control procedures (including weaknesses
identified by the auditor and proposals for improvement)
and submit the main features of the plan for the audit of the
Company. On 31 December 2022, the external auditor of the
Company was KPMG Auditores Independentes Ltda.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors will require the auditor to
participate in meetings of the Board of Directors that deal with
the annual financial statements, in which the auditor shall report
on (i) any material changes in the Company’s accounting prin-
ciples and key aspects of the audit, (ii) any material estimated
accounting figures and (iii) all material matters which have
been subject to a disagreement between the auditor and the
Management, if any.
The Audit Committee shall review and monitor the independence
of the Company’s auditor, including in particular the extent to
which services other than auditing provided by the auditor or the
audit firm represents a threat to the independence of the auditor.
The remuneration of the auditor for statutory audit will be set by the
Board subject to authorisation by the annual general meeting.

Reporting on
payments to
governments
This report is prepared in accordance with the Norwegian
Accounting Act Section § 3-3 d and the Securities Trading Act §
5-5a which stipulates that companies engaged in activities within
the extractive industries shall annually prepare and publish a
report containing information about their payments to govern-
ments at country and project level. The Ministry of Finance has
issued a regulation (F20.12.2013 no. 1682) stipulating that the
reporting obligation only applies to reporting entities above a
certain size and to payments above certain threshold amounts.
In addition, the regulation stipulates that the report shall include
other information than payments to governments, as included in
section 6 of this report, and it provides more detailed rules appli-
cable to definitions, publication and group reporting.
The reportable payments are defined in the regulation
(F20.12.2013 nr 1682) §3. The management of Seacrest Petroleo
has applied judgment in the interpretation of the regulation
regarding the type of payments to be included in the reporting
and on what level it should be reported. When payments are
required to be reported on a project-by-project basis, it is reported
by license or cluster basis. All activities in Seacrest Petroleo within
the extractive industries are located in Brazil and all the reported
payments below have been made to the Brazilian government.
1. Federal tax in Brazil
The PIS (Program of Social Integration) and COFINS (Contribution
for the Financing of Social Security) are federal taxes based on
the gross revenues of companies in Brazil. The PIS is intended
to finance the unemployment insurance system, and COFINS to
fund Social Security. During 2022, Seacrest Petroleo paid USD 341
000 in PIS and USD 1 571 000 in COFINS.
2. Royalties in Brazil
Royalties are payable on production revenue at variable rates
depending on the location of production in Brazil. During 2022,
Seacrest Petroleo paid USD 2 411 000 in royalties on the produc-
tion from the Cricaré Cluster in the state of Espirito Santo.
3. Income tax
Seacrest Petroleo is liable for income taxes on its operations in
Brazil. During 2022, the Company did not pay any income tax in
Brazil as the Company generated a net loss for the period. As of
31 December 2022, Seacrest Petroleo had recognised USD 16 008
000 in deferred tax assets in its balance sheet and will utilise a tax
loss carry forward to offset future tax costs in Brazil.
Under current Bermuda law, Seacrest Petroleo is not required to
pay tax in Bermuda on either income or capital gains.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
(In USD thousands unless otherwise indicated)
Note 1 Operations
Seacrest Petroleo Bermuda Limited and its subsidiaries (together,
the “Group”) is an oil and gas explorations group. The Group’s parent
company was incorporated on 5 June 2019 and domiciled in Bermuda.
The address of its registered office is Victoria Place, 31 Victoria Street,
Hamilton, HM10, Bermuda .
The Group is engaged in oil and gas exploration, development, produc
-
tion and trade activities.
On 27 August 2020, Karavan Seacrest SPE Cricaré S.A. (“SPE Cricaré”), a
subsidiary of the Group, and Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) entered
into an agreement under which Petrobras sold its total interest in 27 oil
exploration and production concessions (the “Cricaré Cluster”) to SPE
Cricaré. On 29 December 2021, the last required regulatory approval was
obtained, and SPE Cricaré completed the acquisition of the Cricaré Cluster.
The Group began its operation of the Cricaré Cluster in January 2022.
On 9 December 2021, the Group acquired a 100% interest in Seacrest
Petróleo SPE Norte Capixaba Ltda. (“SPE Norte Capixaba”) from the
individuals Leonardo Luis do Carmo and Cristina da Silva Camargo.
SPE Norte Capixaba was an off-the-shelf Brazilian company and it has
a fully subscribed and paid-up capital of USD 18.00, represented by one
hundred (100) shares, with a nominal value of USD 0.18 each.
On 30 December 2021, Seacrest Petróleo S.A. (formerly known as Seacrest
Exploração e Produção de Petróleo Ltda.), a subsidiary of the Group,
pursuant to a shareholders agreement dated 17 April 2020, exercised a call
option, for USD 1 000, over 50.1% (49.9% at 31 December 2020) of the shares
held by Karavan Oil e Gás Participações e Consultoria Ltda in SPE Cricaré,
and the name of SPE Cricaré was changed to Seacrest SPE Cricaré S.A.
On 23 February 2022, SPE Norte Capixaba entered into a purchase
agreement with Petrobras to acquire four onshore oil concessions with
integrated facilities, located in the state of Espírito Santo, collectively
referred to as the Norte Capixaba Cluster.
As at 31 December 2022 this transaction was pending final approval
by the ANP. Approval was expected to be granted in during first half
2023. To ensure the assessment of the transaction, an advance of
USD 35 850 000 had been provided to Petrobras, and further payments
may occur after the closing.
The Purchase and Sale Agreement (“SPA”) makes reference to the
“Effect of Termination” and stipulates events which would result in the
Seller (Petrobras) being entitled to retain the deposit in the events of
early termination. The events which would result in this, include, but
are not limited to, a breach of the Purchaser’s (Company) representa
-
tions, warranties, obligations, and covenants under the SPA (including
breaching payment terms) and ANP not granting its approval due to the
Company’s failure to qualify as an operator. At balance sheet date, there
is no indication that the Company is in breach, and therefore the future
economic benefits associated with this advance remain recognized,
The Norte Capixaba Cluster is made up of four onshore fields: Cancã,
Fazenda Alegre, Fazenda São Rafael and Fazenda Santa Luzia, The Norte
Capixaba Terminal and all production facilities contained in the ring
fence of the four concessions also form the Norte Capixaba Cluster, as
well as the ownership of some plots of land.
The Group’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis. In December 2022, the Company had accumulated
losses of USD 140 458 301 (USD 21 286 719 in 2021), negative operating
cash flow of USD 38 331 742 (USD 6 871 256 in 2021), in addition to loss in
the year of USD 119 171 582 (USD 14 010 804 in 2021). Management knows
that this is expected for oil exploration and production companies
with recently acquired assets, considering the high investments and
expenses incurred in the pre-operational phase.
Considering that the Company has just recently started operations,
an improvement in financial indicators is expected as the operation is
optimized, with material gains expected from 2023. Furthermore, it is
important to emphasize that the Company has enough cash to honor
its short-term obligations, including two contracts signed for the sale of
oil produced in the field, and management has not identified any rele
-
vant uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue its activities
over the next 12 months. Moreover, the Company raised gross proceeds
of USD 260 million in an IPO during February 2023, which provide addi
-
tional funding .

Note 2 Basis of preparation
2.1 Statement of compliance
These consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on 21 April 2023.
2.2 Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency.
2.3 Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized
prospectively.
2.3.1 Judgments
The information on judgments made on the application of accounting policies that have relevant effects over
values recognized on the consolidated financial statements are being included on the following notes:
Note 11 – Acquisition of Cricaré Cluster as an acquisition of assets and not a business and the estimate of the
extension likelihood of the concession agreements.
2.3.2 Uncertainties on assumptions and estimates
Information on uncertainties related to assumptions and estimates that pose a significant risk of resulting in a
material adjustment in balances of both assets and liabilities for the next year are included on the following notes:
Note 10 – Property, Plant and Equipment (estimated useful live of the assets)
Note 10 – Property, Plant and Equipment – Provision for decommissioning (discount rate for calculating
present value and estimate future decommissioning costs)
Note 15 – The fair value of contingent payments that are affected by the future exchange rate and the proba
-
bility of contingent events occurring.
Note 24 – The fair value of derivative instruments that are affected by the future exchange rates and by the
future Brent oil prices.
2.4 Basis of consolidation
2.4.1 Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group
is exposed to, or has rights over the variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those
returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is
transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
2.4.2 Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intragroup balances and transactions, and any other unrealized revenues or expenses derived from transactions
within the group are eliminated. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only
up to the extension in which there is no evidence of loss due to impairment.

Note 3 Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to
all periods presented in these consolidated annual financial statements.
3.1 Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currency are those that are made in currencies
other than the Group’s functional currency, and they are translated
into the respective functional currencies of Group companies at rates
of exchange on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date have been
translated to the functional currency at rates on the reporting date.
Foreign currency differences are generally recognized in profit or loss
and presented within finance costs. Non-monetary items that are
measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at
the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
3.2 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment items are measured on historical
acquisition cost. Accumulated depreciation and any retained losses are
deducted from the impairment, when applicable.
Except for the exploration and production assets, depreciation is
recognized over the estimated useful life of each asset on a straight-line
basis so that the cost value minus its residual value post-useful life is
completely written-off. The estimated useful life, the residual values
and the depreciation methods are revised at the end of each fiscal
year and the effect of any changes on these estimates is prospectively
accounted for.
Exploration and production asset depreciation is calculated through a
unit of production method and recognized in the statement of profit
or loss.
The estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment assets
are the following:
Facilities – 10 years;
Machinery and equipment – units of production method;
Steam generating units – units of production method;
Vehicles – 5 years;
IT equipment – 5 years.
3.3 Intangible assets
The Group presents, in its intangible assets, expenditure on the acqui-
sition of exploration concessions for extracting oil or natural gas. Those
are also recorded at acquisition cost, adjusted, when applicable, to their
recoverable amount and proven reserves will be amortized using the
unit of production method.
3.4 Inventories
Inventories, except for crude oil inventories, are recorded at the lower
of cost and net realizable value. Production costs comprise fixed and
variable costs, directly and indirectly attributed to production. Costs are
aggregated to inventory items based on weighted average cost.
Crude oil inventory is valued at production cost, including depreciation
and includes import obligations, transportation, handling, and other
costs directly attributable to the acquisition of products and materials.
On the reporting, the value of inventories is evaluated, and a provision
for losses with obsolete or slow-moving inventory may be recognized.
Write-offs and reversals are recognized as “cost of sales and services”.
3.5 Financial instruments
3.5.1 Financial assets
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost, or fair value through
profit or loss (“FVTPL”).
This classification is based on the characteristics of contractual cash flow
and the business model to manage the asset.
The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets
were acquired.
Management determines the classification of its financial assets at
initial recognition. On 31 December 2022, the Group financial assets are
represented as:
Cash and cash equivalents
Securities
Accounts receivable with related parties
3.5.2 Impairment of financial assets
Expected credit losses are assessed using an impairment model and are
applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost.
The provisions for expected losses will be measured on one of the
following bases:
Expected credit losses for 12 months, i.e., credit losses that result from
potential default events within 12 months after the reporting date; and
Lifetime expected credit losses, i.e., credit losses that result from all
possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
The measurement of lifetime expected credit losses applies if the credit
risk of a financial asset on the reporting date has increased significantly
since its initial recognition, and the 12-month credit loss measurement

applies if the risk has not increased significantly since its initial recog-
nition. The Group determines that the credit risk of a financial asset
has not increased significantly if the asset has low credit risk on the
reporting date.
As of 31 December 2022, the Group did not find material evidence of
impairment of these financial assets.
3.5.3 Financial liabilities
The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities in the category of
other financial liabilities. Such financial liabilities are initially recognized
at fair value plus any transaction costs directly assignable. After the
initial recognition, these financial liabilities are recognized at amortized
cost using the effective interest rate method. The interest expenses and
exchange profit and loss are recognized in the profit or loss.
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obliga
-
tion is withdrawn, canceled or expires. The Group also derecognizes a
financial liability when the terms are modified and the cash flows of the
modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial
liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. Any gain
or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
On 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021, the Group’s non-derivative
financial liabilities were represented by:
Supplier and other accounts payable
Accounts payable with related parties
Financial loans with related parties
Financial loans
Provision for decommissioning costs
Leases payable
Contingent consideration
Derivatives financial instruments
In determining an appropriate level of provision, consideration is given
to the expected future costs to be incurred, the timing of these expected
future costs, the estimated future level of inflation, and the appropriate
discount rate. The ultimate restoration costs are uncertain, and costs
may vary in response to several factors, including changes to the rele
-
vant legal requirements, the emergence of new restoration techniques,
or experience at other fields. The expected timing of expenditure may
also change.
Changes to any of the estimates could result in significant changes to
the level of provisioning required, which would in turn impact future
financial results.
The provision is recorded as part of the cost of the related property, plant
and equipment item, at present value, discounted at a risk-free rate,
and is fully recognized at the time of the commencement of operations
at each oil field and the recognition of its reserves. The provision is
annually revised by Management by adjusting the amounts of assets
and liabilities already accounted for. Revisions to the calculation basis
of estimated expenditure are recognized as cost of property, plant and
equipment, and the accounting effects arising from changes to financial
assumptions, such as the discount rates used for calculating the future
obligation, are taken directly to profit or loss for the year.
3.6 Impairment of non-financial assets
On every reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its
non-financial assets and inventories to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If any indication occurs, the recoverable value
of the assets is estimated.
For impairment tests, assets are grouped into Cash Generating Units
(CGUs), that is, into the smallest possible group of assets that generate
cash inflows through their continued use, inflows that are largely inde
-
pendent of the inflows from other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable value of an asset or CGU is the higher of its value in use
and its fair value less cost of disposal. Value in use is based on estimated
future cash flows, discounted to present value using a discount rate less
taxes, that reflects current market estimates of the value of money in
time and specific risks of assets or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the book value of the asset or CGU
exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Losses recognized
related to CGUs are allocated to the book value of assets of the CGU (or
group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.
For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that
the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no
impairment loss had been recognized.
3.7 Derivative financial instruments
The Group may use derivative financial instruments to manage certain
exposures to fluctuations in oil and gas prices and foreign currency
exchange rates. Such derivative financial instruments are initially
recognised at fair value on the date of which a derivative contract is
entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through
profit and loss. Hedge accounting is not applied. For derivative financial
instruments where the underlying is a commodity, changes in fair value
are recognized as part of operating activities. Changes in fair values for
other derivative financial instruments are classified as part of financial
activities.
3.8 Provisions
A provision is recognized if, because of a past event, the Group has a
present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably,
and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation.
Provisions are calculated by discounting the expected future net cash
flows at a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the
time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

3.9 Share based payments
The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrange-
ments granted to employees is generally recognized as an expense, with
a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards.
The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number
of awards for which the related service and non-market performance
conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately
recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related
service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the
grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to
reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between
expected and actual outcomes.
Where equity settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair
value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the consolidated
statement of profit or loss over the vesting period.
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they
vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately
before and after the modification, is also charged to the consolidated
statement of profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.
3.10 Financial income and expenses
and exchange variation, net
Financial income represents interest income, yields from securities,
discounts, other financial income and monetary and foreign exchange
rate variations.
Financial costs represent bank expenses, interest, late payment charges,
other financial costs and monetary and foreign exchange rate variations.
Financial income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis when
ascertained or incurred by the Group.
3.11 Lease
At the inception of a contract, the Group evaluates whether the contract
is, or contains, a lease.
A contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use
of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
As a lessee
At the inception or amendment of a contract containing a lease compo-
nent, the Group allocates the lease consideration to be paid, to each
lease and non-lease component based on their individual prices.
The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the
lease inception date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost,
which is the initial lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made
at inception, plus any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee and an
estimate of the costs to be incurred by the lessee to disassemble and
remove the underlying asset, by returning it to the place where it is
located or returning the underlying asset to the state required under
the lease terms and conditions, less any lease incentives received
accordingly.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-
line method from the start date to the end of the lease term, unless the
lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee at the
end of lease term, or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the
lessee will exercise the call option, In this case, the right-of-use asset
will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is
determined on the same basis as that of property, plant and equipment.
Moreover, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment
losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease
liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future
lease payments and discounted using the interest rate implicit in the
lease or, if that rate cannot be immediately determined, the incremental
borrowing rate for the Group. Generally, the Group uses its incremental
borrowing rate as the discount rate.
The Group sets its incremental rate on loans by obtaining interest rates
from a number of external funding sources and making some adjust
-
ments to reflect the contract terms and the type of leased asset.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability
comprise the following:
fixed payments,
variable lease payments based on an index or rate;
amounts expected to be paid by the lessee, in accordance with the
residual value guarantees; and
the call option strike price if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise
such option, and payments of fines due to termination of the lease
agreement, if the term of the lease reflects the fact that the lessee is
exercising their option to terminate the lease agreement.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method, It is remeasured when a change occurs in future lease
payments as a result of a change in an index or rate, if there is a change
in the amounts expected to be paid in accordance with the residual
value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment to exercise a call
option, extend or terminate it.
When the lease liability is thus remeasured, an adjustment corre
-
sponding to the book value of the right-of-use asset is made or recorded
in income (loss) if the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero.
As the basis for determining future lease payments changes, as required
by the Benchmark Interest Rate Reform, the Group reassesses the lease
liability by discounting the revised lease payments using the revised
discount rate that reflects the change to an alternative benchmark
interest rate.

Low-value asset leases
The Group opted not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
for low-value and short-term leases, The Group records lease payments
in connection with these leases as expenses on a straight-line basis
based on the term of the lease.
3.12 Provision for decommissioning costs
Restoration costs are a normal consequence of operating in the oil and
gas industry.
In determining an appropriate provision level, consideration is given to
the expected costs to be incurred, the timing of these expected costs,
the estimated future inflation level and the appropriate discount rate.
The ultimate costs of restoration are uncertain and may vary according
to several factors, including changes in relevant legal and legislative
requirements, the emergence of new restoration techniques, or experi
-
ence in other fields. The expected timing for expenses may also change.
Changes in any of the estimates could result in a significant change
in the provisioning level required, which, in turn, would impact future
results.
The provision is recorded as part of the cost of the respective property,
plant and equipment, at its present value, discounted at a risk-free
rate, being fully recorded upon the declaration of commercialization
of each field and its recognition. The provision is reviewed annually by
Management, adjusting the amounts of assets and liabilities already
recorded. Reviews to the calculation basis of expense estimates
are recognized as cost of property, plant and equipment and the
accounting effects arising from changes in financial assumptions such
as discount rates used in the calculation of future liabilities are directly
allocated to income (loss) for the year.
3.13 Revenues
Revenue recognition is done in accordance with IFRS 15, which estab-
lishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether and when a
revenue is recognized, and how it is measured.
The revenue is recognized when the purchaser obtains control of the
goods or services.
The Group’s revenues arise from oil sales. Revenue is measured based
on the consideration specified in the contract with the purchaser and
it is recognized if: (i) risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have
been transferred to the purchaser; (ii) it is probable that the financial
economic benefits will flow to the Group; (iii) costs associated and
potential return of products can be reliably estimated; (iv) there is no
continued involvement with the products sold; and (v) the amount of
revenue can be reliably measured, When applicable, revenue is meas
-
ured net of returns and commercial discounts,
The Group recognizes its revenues when it meets its performance
obligation, transferring the promised good or service to the purchaser.
The Group has entered into a 6 year off-take contract with Mercuria for
the Cricaré oil and the Company has signed a term sheet for the Norte
Capixaba oil. A final offtake contract combining 100% of the production
from both clusters is expected to be concluded before the closing of the
Norte Capixaba cluster acquisition.
SPE Cricare is selling its current production to Petrobras (Inhambu
volumes). The remainder is sold under a marketing agreement at spot
prices. After the closing of the Norte Capixaba acquisition, the Group will
sell its oil production to Mercuria under an offtake agreement expected
to be based on the Rotterdam rate of 0.5% Marine Fuel for the large
majority of its production, the contract above mentioned.
The risk is transferred at the flange when the oil exits the Terminal Norte
Capixaba (TNC) and is loaded into a vessel. Payment is due within 15
days after loading. Depending on the timing of the offtake within the
specified month, the contract would typically attract a receivable at
month-end, that is subsequently settled in the following month. As a
result, there is no financing component associated with this contract .

3.14 New standards and interpretations not yet effective
Several new standards are effective for the years started on our after 1 January 2021. The Group did not adopt these standards for the preparation of these financial statements.
The following standards and interpretations not yet effective do not present a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements:
Standards Description Effective date and transitional disposition
Disclosure of Accounting Policies – Amendments
to IAS 1 and Practice Statement 2
In place of the requirement to disclose significant accounting policies, the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of
Financial Statements establish that accounting policies must be disclosed when they are material. Among other things,
the amendment provides guidance for determining such materiality.
1 January 2023, with prospective application for
amendments to IAS 1.
Definition of Accounting Estimates – Amendments
to IAS 8
According to the amendments to IAS 8, the definition of “change in accounting estimate” no longer exists. Instead,
a definition was established for the term “accounting estimates”: monetary values in the financial statements that
are subject to measurement uncertainty. The amendments reduced the scope of the exemption from recognition of
deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities contained in paragraphs 15 and 24
1 January 2023, with prospective application.
Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising
from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12
The amendments have reduced the scope of the exemption from recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax
liabilities contained in paragraphs 15 and 24 of IAS 12 Income Taxes so that it no longer applies to transactions that,
among other things, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
1 January 2023, with retrospective application with
specific rules.

On 21 December 2021, Mercuria Energy Trading S.A. and SPE Cricaré entered into a senior facility agreement, with a principal
amount of USD 35 000 000 and a maturity date of 27 September 2027, with the loans bearing compound interest of 12% plus USD
LIBOR per year. Although the USD LIBOR is to be discontinued, Management does not expect a material impact, since the facility
agreement provides for a similar reference interest rate. The interest accrued at the end of 2021 was paid in 2021 and the exact
amount was then accrued as at 31 December 2022. Therefore, there was no change in the balance due as at 31 December 2022.

On 21 December 2021, Mercuria Energy Trading S.A. and SPE Cricaré entered into a junior facility agreement, with a principal
amount of USD 10 000 000 and a maturity date of 21 June 2027, with the loans bearing compound interest of 15% plus USD LIBOR
per year. Although the USD LIBOR is to be discontinued, Management does not expect a material impact, since the facility agree-
ment provides for a similar reference interest rate. The interest accrued at the end of 2021 was paid in 2021 and the exact amount
was then accrued as at 31 December 2022. Therefore, there was no change in the balance due as at 31 December 2022.
3
The financial covenants in the Senior and Junior facilities are as follows: (1) the Obligors shall ensure that the field life cover ratio in
respect of any fiscal quarter is not less that 1.5:1; (2) the Obligors shall ensure that Cricaré holds at all times in a designated account
with HSBC Bermuda deposits in dollars and/or cash equivalent investments an amount of not less than US$2 000 000; and (3)
the Obligors shall ensure that Total Corporate Sources (as defined in the SFA) at all times exceeds the aggregate amount of all
outgoing payments that are committed to/projected to be paid on the first day of the forecast period.
The Senior and Junior facilities contain other covenants that restrict the Obligors’ ability to: (1) pledge or create a lien over any of
their respective assets or to dispose of assets in an arrangement that is preferential to a Group member; (2) incur financial indebt-
edness other than trade credit in the ordinary course in an amount not exceeding US$1 000 000; (3) extend credit to third parties
other than in the ordinary course of business; (4) dispose of all or any part of the Cricare cluster assets or any other assets other
than sales of petroleum for cash on an arm’s length basis and disposals of surplus or obsolete assets; and (5) take any actions that
would affect or change their respective corporate existence or structure.

In accordance with the terms of the facility agreements, Mercuria Energy Trading S.A. received a USD 900 000 arrangement fee.
5
On 22 February 2022 the Company issued convertible loan notes in the principal amount of USD 15 million to Mercuria (the
“Notes”). The Notes mature in 2025 and bear interest at a fixed rate that steps up on an annual basis: 10% for the first year of
the Notes’ term, 12.5% for the second year and 15% for the third year. The proceeds of the Notes were used to pay a portion of
the deposit owed by SPE Norte Capixaba to Petrobras under the purchase agreement for the Norte Capixaba acquisition. The
Notes will be automatically converted into the Company’s shares immediately prior to the closing of a public share offering. The
number of shares to be converted will be determined on the settlement date considering the share price, which is not under the
Company’s control. Therefore, the instrument was classified as a financial liability measured at fair value.
6
As consideration for Mercuria facilitating the financing of the Company’s acquisition of the Cricaré Cluster and the signing of the
purchase agreement with Petrobras for the Norte Capixaba acquisition, the Company issued the following warrants to Mercuria
Asset Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited:
a. a warrant instrument exercisable in respect of common shares representing 1% of the Company’s fully diluted share capital at
the time of exercise (“Mercuria Warrant 1”);
b. a warrant instrument exercisable in respect of common shares representing 2% of the Company’s fully diluted share capital at
the time of exercise, with such warrant only exercisable if the Norte Capixaba acquisition is not completed or the Company sells
the Cricaré Cluster at a time when it does not own the Norte Capixaba Cluster (“Mercuria Warrant 2”); and
c. a warrant instrument exercisable in respect of 1 302 246 common shares, representing 1% of the Company’s fully diluted share
capital at 15 February 2022 (“Mercuria Warrant 3”).
Warrant 1 was exercised on 23 February 2022 and Mercuria Asset Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited received 1 302 245 of the
Company’s Shares. Mercuria Warrant 2 and Mercuria Warrant 3 remain outstanding.
On 23 December 2022, Mercuria Asset Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited transferred 100% of its interests in the Notes, Mercuria
Warrant 2 and Mercuria Warrant 3, as well as all its Shares in the Company, to Mercuria Energy Group Limited, a Cyprus company.

Provision for decommissioning costs
The future obligation for the abandonment of assets was estimated based on the Group’s interest in (i) all oil
wells and facilities, (ii) the estimated plugging and restoration costs for these wells and facilities, and (iii) the
estimate of future adjustments to these costs.
On 31 December 2022 the estimated amount required in order to meet asset abandonment obligations is
USD 27 938 000 (2021: USD 44 164 380), which is in accordance with what is prescribed in the contract and on the
Annual Working Plan and Budget (PAT) sent to the ANP, which will be incurred over the remaining useful lives of
the wells. This amount is amortized into the consolidated profit or loss. The obligation was revised at 31 December
2022 based on revised requirements approved by the ANP.
The abandonment obligations costs recorded in 2022 were projected based on future cash flows, adjusted for a
free-risk fee and a market interest rate of 6.4% per year.

The abandonment obligation was reduced in December 2022 as a result of an assessment performed by an external consultant.
The assessment resulted in a recertification of the decommission costs that was approved by the ANP on 29 November 2022.
Impairment assessment
On 31 December 2022, considering the assumptions adopted and the fact that the assets were first recognized
at the end of 2021, Group’s management did not identify any triggering event to perform the test of cash-gener
-
ating unit’s recoverable value (Cricaré Cluster).

Note 11 Intangible assets
The Group’s intangible assets refers to the value of the Concession Asset of 100% of the Cricaré Cluster, pursuant
to the purchase contract signed between SPE Cricaré and Petrobras on 27 August 2020.
The Group’s management reached the conclusion that the integrated assets set and activities acquired are not
qualified as a “business”, due to the absence of a substantive process connecting the inputs at acquisition (the
concession agreements acquired and the PPE) to the outputs (the oil produced). Cricaré Cluster was already
producing in the acquisition date but the inputs acquired did not include labor, and therefore it was determined
that the transaction was an acquisition of assets rather than a business combination.
Management then identified the individual assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction, at the acquisition
date, and measured their fair value as of the same date.
The concession agreements that SPE Cricaré entered into with ANP for the concession rights relating to the 27
fields that comprise the Cricaré Cluster will expire between 2025 and 2037. In recognizing this intangible asset,
and realizing the value of reserves attributed to the cluster, management has used its judgement in reaching the
conclusion that it is highly likely certain concessions will be extended (given that it will be in the best interests of
all parties to the concession, that the agreements be extended).
The consideration transferred consisted of:
USD
Amount paid in cash 28 516
Contingent consideration (Note 16) 82 877
Contingent consideration (Note 16) 11 865
Total 123 258
The assets above are recorded as follows in these financial statements:
USD
Property, plant and equipment (Note 10) 1 617
Intangible asset in relation to Cricaré concession agreement 121 641
Total 123 258
Amortization is calculated on the basis of the units-produced method in respect of proven reserves. These
reserves are estimated by the Group’s geologists and engineers in accordance with international standards and
are reviewed annually or when there is indication of significant changes. Operation of the Cricaré assets by the
Group did not commence until 2022.
The breakdown of intangible assets are as follows:

The amortization of the exploration right is based on the units of oil and gas produced. The rate calculated takes
into consideration (oil and gas) reserve depletion percentage. As per the table below, the 13.9% of the oil reserve
and 72.7% of the gas reserves have been depleted.

On 22 February 2022, the Company issued convertible loan notes in the principal amount of USD 3 million to OMVK (the “Notes”).
The Notes mature in 2025 and bear interest at a fixed rate that steps up on an annual basis: 10% for the first year of the Notes’ term,
12.5% for the second year and 15% for the third year. The proceeds of the Notes were used to pay a portion of the deposit owed by
SPE Norte Capixaba to Petrobras under the purchase agreement for the Norte Capixaba acquisition. The Notes will be automat-
ically converted into the Company’s shares immediately prior to the closing of a public share offering. The number of shares to
be converted will be determined on the settlement date considering the share price, which is not under the Company’s control.
Therefore, the instrument was classified as a financial liability measured at fair value.

Note 16 Contingent consideration
31 Dec 2022 31 Dec 2021
Cricaré Cluster acquisition 115 430 82 877
Total 115 430 82 877
This relates to the contingent consideration for the acquisition of the Cricaré Cluster, of which USD 30 000 000 will
be paid on 31 December 2025 as a contingent payment, linked to the approval of the concession term extension
by the ANP, and USD 88 000 000, contingent to the reference price of Brent reaching a moving average equal
to or greater than USD 50 per barrel in the respective payment years, adjusted by a fixed rate plus USD 3 months
Libor and the US dollar exchange rate at the end of the period. Although the USD LIBOR is to be discontinued,
Management does not expect a material impact, since the agreement provides for a similar reference interest rate.
The present value adjustment in the initial recognition was USD 27 123 275, considering a discount rate of 11.45%
p.a. Therefore, the outstanding amount to be paid for the acquisition of Cluster Cricaré on 31 December 2021
is USD 82 876 725. A further present value adjustment of USD 27 625 638 was done up to 31 December 2022.
The interest adjustment for the year ended 31 December 2022 was USD 4 927 429 making the total contingent
consideration USD 115 429 892 as at 31 December 2022.
The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration was classified as level 3 based on the inputs of the valuation
technique used. Management used the discounted cash flow technique that considers the present value of expected
future payments, discounted at a risk-free rate. The unobservable inputs used include the expected cash flow, which is
affected by the probability of approval by the ANP of the extension of the concession term and the probability that Brent
will be equal to or greater than USD 50 until the date of payment of the consideration, and the risk-free rate disclosed
above. The valuation models assume that there is no reasonable possibility of the extension to the concession period
being denied by ANP or the Brent price falling below USD 50 per barrel during the applicable period.

Note 22 Income tax and social contribution
Under current Bermuda law, the Group is not required to pay tax in Bermuda on either income or capital gains.
The Group is subject to Brazilian tax through the operation of its subsidiaries in Brazil.
Income tax and social contribution (current and deferred) are calculated according to interpretations of the
legislation in force. This process typically involves complex estimates to determine taxable profit and “temporary
differences”. Temporary differences refers to a Brazilian tax requirement whereby the Group is required to adjust
its tax calculation to exclude items that have not yet been realized on a cash basis.
The deferred income tax and social contribution recorded reflect the future tax effects attributable to the tempo
-
rary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their respective book values. The Group will
have a carry forward tax loss as part of the deferred tax asset recognized as at 31 December 2022 and it will used
to offset future tax costs.

The book value of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value is a reasonable approximation of the
fair value.
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method.
The different levels have been defined as follows:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs)

The possible and remote scenarios reflect the potential effect on the result of outstanding transactions, consid-
ering an unfavorable variation in market prices, to the extent of increasing the risk factor by 25% and 50%,
respectively.
Foreign exchange risks
The Group is exposed to currency risk on payments denominated in currencies other than the functional
currency. Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions or recorded assets or liabilities are
denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency.
The Group has subsidiaries located in Brasil and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risks in Brazil Reais
(BRL). The Group’s loans and receivables are USD denominated however the Group does hold cash and
marketable securities in BRL which are subject to foreign exchange risk as follows:

At 31 December 2022, if the Brazil Real had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the U.S. dollar with all other
variables held constant, then the total comprehensive gain or loss for the year would have been USD 1 679 200
(USD 1 591 312 in 2021) higher/lower.
The Group’s subsidiary in Uruguay has no assets or liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and therefore is
not exposed to any credit risk.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to fluctuations in the Brazilian Real. See a
summary of open positions at 31 December 2022 above in Note 24.2.
Interest rate risks
It is the risk of a financial instrument fair value changes due to changes in the market’s interest rate.
The Group holds three loans ((a) and (b)) with Mercuria Energy Trading and the loans are subject to an interest
rate of 12% to 15% in addition to USD LIBOR (Note 12). The Group is therefore exposed to interest rate risk because
of fluctuations in the USD LIBOR rate on the following loans.
(USD 1000) 2022 2021
Mercuria Energy Trading S.A. (“Senior facility”) 34 207 34 207
Mercuria Energy Trading S.A. (“Junior facility”) 10 038 10 038
Mercuria Asset Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited 16 300
OVMK Special Bond Fund (“OVMK”) 3 218
Total 63 763 44 245
At 31 December 2022, if the USD LIBOR rate increased or decreased 10% with all other variables held constant,
then the total comprehensive gain or loss for the year would have been USD 6 376 320 (2021: USD 4 514 520)
higher/lower.
Oil and gas price risks
The Group’s revenue comes from oil and gas sales, which are exposed to fluctuations in the oil and gas price level.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to fluctuations in commodity prices and
have entered into a series of oil hedges with Mercuria Energy Trading SA in order to mitigate this risk. See a
summary of open positions at 31 December 2022 above in Note 24.2.

Initial Public Offering (the “IPO” or the “Offerring”)
In February 2023, the Company raised approximately NOK 2 662 million (equivalent to USD 260 million) in
gross proceeds through the allocation of 443 666 666 new shares in the Offering. The Offer Shares were priced
at NOK 6 per Offer Share. The Offer Price implies a market capitalization of the Company of approximately
NOK 3 927 million (equivalent to USD 383 million) assuming that the over-allotment option granted to ABG
Sundal Collier ASA (the “Stabilization Manager”), on behalf of the Managers (as defined below) (the “Over-
Allotment Option”) is not exercised, increasing to approximately NOK 4 169 million (equivalent to USD 407
million) if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full.
A total number of 443 666 666 Offer Shares (including the Additional Shares, as defined below) were allocated
in the Offering, representing approximately 64% of the Company’s shares post the Offering assuming that the
Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full. The free float of the Company following completion of the Offering will
be approximately 57% if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full.
As further described in the prospectus prepared and published by the Company on 8 February 2023, as
supplemented by the prospectus supplements dated 10 February 2023 and 18 February 2023, respectively (the
“Prospectus”), the managers of the Offering (the “Managers”) over-allotted 40 333 333 shares (the “Additional
Shares”), representing approximately 10% of the number of Offer Shares allocated in the Offering (excluding the
Additional Shares), and the Stabilization Manager exercised its option to borrow an equal number of shares from
Seacrest Partners III, L.P. for the purpose of facilitating such over-allotments.
Mercuria Energy Group Limited has been allocated approximately USD 80 million in the Offering and will have
an ownership of approximately 30% following completion of the Offering, assuming that the Over-Allotment
Option is not exercised, falling to 28% if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full.
The trading of the shares in the Company on Euronext Expand on the Oslo Stock Exchange commenced on
23 February 2023 under the ticker “SEAPT”.
Following issuance of the Offer Shares, but prior to exercise of the Over-Allotment Option the Company will
have an issued share capital of USD 6 545 divided into 654 527 864 shares, each with a par value of USD 0.00001.
The Company and members of the Company’s management and board of directors are subject to a 180-day
and a 365-day lock-up period, respectively. Seacrest Partners III, L.P. and certain other major shareholders of the
Company are also subject to a 180-day lock-up period.
Conversion of Convertible Loan Notes
The convertible loan notes (the “Notes”) issued by the Company were mandatorily converted into shares on
20 February 2023 which was immediately prior to the closing of the Offering. The number of shares into which
the Notes were convertible was based on a discount to the Offer Price, as determined by a formula set out in the
Notes. Considering the Offer Price, conversion of the Notes resulted in an issuance of 39 756 951 new shares in the
Company at a subscription price of NOK 5.10 per share.
Conversion of Series A Shares
The Company’s Series A shares were mandatorily converted into common shares on 20 February 2023 which
immediately prior to the closing of the Offering. However, because the Offer Price was below an amount
per Series A share equal to 1.6 times the Series A share issue price of USD 0.57142857, equal to approximately
NOK 9.35 (the “Series A Minimum Return”), the 39 372 384 Series A shares did not convert into common shares
on a 1 for 1 basis prior to the admission to trading of the shares. Instead, the Series A shareholders received a total
of 61 521 338 common shares upon the conversion of the Series A shares. Of these, 22 148 954 were additional
common shares so that the Series A shareholders achieved the Series A Minimum Return. Upon the conversion
of the Series A shares, the Company issued and delivered such additional common shares to the Series A share
-
holders’ respective VPS accounts.
Norte Capixaba Closing
The Company successfully bid for the Norte Capixaba Cluster in December 2021 and signed a binding agree-
ment to take over the cluster from Petrobras in February 2022. The total consideration was USD 528.5 million,
comprised of a deposit made in February 2022 of USD 35.85 million (see Note 6), payment of USD 426.65 million
in April 2023 and up to USD 66 million in contingent payments, that are dependent on future Brent prices. The
Norte Capixaba transaction closed on April 13, 2023 and it consummates the Company’s efforts to establish a
fully integrated onshore E&P entity with well-to-terminal infrastructure comprising pipelines, treatment stations
and an export terminal. Based on our experience in the Cricaré Cluster and the excellent potential for synergies
between the two clusters, we are excited about our prospects.

On 22 February 2022, the Company issued convertible loan notes in the principal amount of USD 15 million to Mercuria (the
“Notes”). The Notes mature in 2025 and bear interest at a fixed rate that steps up on an annual basis: 10% for the first year of
the Notes’ term, 12.5% for the second year and 15% for the third year. The proceeds of the Notes were used to pay a portion of
the deposit owed by SPE Norte Capixaba to Petrobras under the purchase agreement for the Norte Capixaba acquisition. The
Notes will be automatically converted into the Company’s shares immediately prior to the closing of a public share offering. The
number of shares to be converted will be determined on the settlement date considering the share price, which is not under the
Company’s control. Therefore, the instrument was classified as a financial liability measured at fair value.

As consideration for Mercuria facilitating the financing of the Company’s acquisition of the Cricaré Cluster and the signing of the
purchase agreement with Petrobras for the Norte Capixaba acquisition, the Company issued the following warrants to Mercuria
Asset Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited:
a. a warrant instrument exercisable in respect of common shares representing 1% of the Company’s fully diluted share capital at
the time of exercise (“Mercuria Warrant 1”);
b. a warrant instrument exercisable in respect of common shares representing 2% of the Company’s fully diluted share capital at
the time of exercise, with such warrant only exercisable if the Norte Capixaba acquisition is not completed or the Company sells
the Cricaré Cluster at a time when it does not own the Norte Capixaba Cluster (“Mercuria Warrant 2”); and
c. a warrant instrument exercisable in respect of 1 302 246 common shares, representing 1% of the Company’s fully diluted share
capital at 15 February 2022 (“Mercuria Warrant 3”).
Warrant 1 was exercised on 23 February 2022 and Mercuria Asset Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited received 1 302 245 of the
Company’s Shares. Mercuria Warrant 2 and Mercuria Warrant 3 remain outstanding.
On 23 December 2022, Mercuria Asset Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited transferred 100% of its interests in the Notes, Mercuria
Warrant 2 and Mercuria Warrant 3, as well as all its Shares in the Company, to Mercuria Energy Group Limited, a Cyprus company.

Statement of Reserves (unaudited)
Seacrest Petroleo has engaged DeGolyer and MacNaughton for reserve and resource certification. The eval-
uations are based on standard petroleum engineering and evaluation principles according to the Petroleum
Resources Management System (PRMS) approved in 2007 and revised in 2018. The figures represent the best
estimate of proven and probable reserves (2P/P50).
As in all aspects of oil and gas evaluation, there are uncertainties inherent in in the interpretation of engineering
and geoscience data; therefore, conclusions necessarily represent only informed professional judgement.
At Seacrest Petroleo’s request and for the purposes of the report, the estimates of net reserves are proforma and
assume the acquisition of the working interests referring to the Norte Capixaba Cluster. The production numbers
for 2022 also include production from this Cluster. The acquisition of the working interests was completed on
11 April 2023.
Reference is made to the competent persons report (CPR) per 31 December 2022 available at
www.seacrestpetroleo.com/investor/IPO information.
