OPERATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS

Flyndre (0.825%)

The Flyndre Field is an oil and gas producing field on the border between the Norwegian and UK sectors of the North Sea, 35 km northwest of the Ekofisk Field. The field is operated by Petrogas NEO UK Limited.

The Flyndre field did not have any production during 1H 2023. Following an unsuccessful attempt to restart production, Flyndre was shut down permanently in July 2023.

field is operated by Repsol Sinopec North Sea Limited.

The working interest of the production at the Enoch Field averaged 29 barrels of oil equivalents per day (Boe/day) for Petrolia NOCO during the first half of 2023.

PL882 (20%)

PL 882 was awarded as part of the APA 2016 round, where Petrolia recognised that the blocks to the west of Snorre Field were under-explored and the area would be better imaged with a new broadband seismic.

The strong partnership led to a de-risking of the Dugong prospect which was spudded towards the end of Q2 2020 and was subsequently announced as a commercial discovery.

The recoverable resources are estimated to be between 29 - 84 million barrels of oil equivalent.

The PL 882 license partnership is working on several field development scenarios. First oil is now expected in 2029.

PL 1013 (20%)

In 1H 2022 the Company farmed down 40% of its interest in the license to Equinor. The license has taken a drill decision and an exploration well is planned for Q3 2024. The Løvmeis prospect is located close to existing facilities. If successful, the partnership plans a fast-track development with production commencing in 2025.

Enoch (4.36%)

The Enoch Field is an oil and gas producing field in the central part of the North Sea on the border to the British sector, 10 km northwest of the Gina Krogh field. The

PL 935 (10%)

The Bounty prospect in the PL 935 license was drilled in 2022 and determined as a dry well with shows. The operator and partners are now evaluating the data

obtained to consider if additional wells shall be drilled. Interpretation of the well results are positive and de-risk the up- flank "high impact" prospect. It is located in the Frøya High area.

PL 1106 (20%) and PL 1107 (30%) The licenses were awarded in the APA 2020 application round. After acquiring new seismic, work is now being performed to further develop the licenses.

PL 1181 (Operator 60%)

The license was awarded under the APA 2022. The license is located in the northern part of the North Sea and will strengthen the Company's position in the Tampen area, where it already holds interest in the Dugong discovery.

EVENTS AFTER BALANCE SHEET DATE In August 2023, the Company submitted applications for several licenses under the 2023 APA licensing round.
