2024 Operations Update

Prospera is primarily focused on achieving production and cash flow stability through the optimization of its core assets, infrastructure improvements, and sound reservoir management, all aimed at capturing the significant remaining reserves and reducing its environmental footprint. Furthermore, PEI expects to leverage additional joint venture receivables to increase reported net working interest production & revenue levels.

Prospera has initiated medium-light oil development, successfully drilling three directional wells, all of which have encountered the expected structure and pay. These wells are scheduled to be brought online in the coming weeks. PEI will continue advancing the development of medium-light oil and the heavy oil transformation over the next few months. Multilateral development is also proposed for the two untapped core heavy oil properties.

The company is in the midst of a three-stage restructuring process aimed at prioritizing cost effective operations while appreciating production capacity and reducing liabilities. Prospera has completed the first phase by optimizing low hanging opportunities, attaining free cash flow, while bringing operation to safe operating condition, all while remaining compliant. Currently, Prospera is executing phase II of the restructuring process, the horizontal transformation intended to accelerate growth and capture the significant oil in place (400 million bbls). These horizontal wells allow PEI to reduce its environmental and surface footprint by eliminating the numerous vertical well leases along the lateral path. Phase III of Prospera’s corporate redevelopment strategy is to optimize recovery through EOR applications. Furthermore, Prospera will pursue its acquisition strategy to diversify its product mix and expand its core area. Its goal is to attain 50% light oil, 40% heavy oil and 10% gas.

The Corporation continues to apply efforts to minimize its environmental footprint. Also, efforts to reduce and eventually eliminate emissions, alongside pursuing innovative ESG methods to enhance API quality, thereby achieving higher margins and eliminating the need for diluents.
