Petro-Victory Energy Corp. Provides Update on SJ-06 Well Workover at 100% Owned São João Field Located in Northeast Brazil in The Barreirinhas Basin

CALGARY, AB, April 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Petro-Victory Energy Corp. ("Petro-Victory" or the "Company") (TSXV: VRY) is pleased to provide an update on the workover campaign to increase oil production in the 100% owned São João field in the Barreirinhas Basin in Maranhão, Brazil.

Highlights

• SJ-06 well successfully completed adding additional 8.3 meters of oil pay in the Tutoia formation.
• SJ-06 well tested at rate of 228 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") during initial 35-hour test.

SJ-06 Well
On February 27^th, 2024, the SPT-129 workover rig mobilized from the SJ-01 well to the SJ-06 well with a workover program designed to open an additional 12.4 meters across 3 zones in the Tutoia formation.

Petro-Victory successfully re-entered the well to a depth of 1,731 meters, logged the well, and subsequently perforated 8.3 meters in 2 planned zones between 1,263 meters and 1,516 meters depth with oil and associated gas shows confirming expectations that this is a gas driven, oil prolific, formation.

The well was successfully completed on April 1, 2024, with 1 ¾ " insert pump, gas anchor and API-228 pump-jack, being installed over the well. The SJ-06 well now has 15.2 meters of oil pay zones open in the Tutoia formation. The open zones are clean sandstones exhibiting 19% average porosity.

Specific data for the initial production from the SJ-06 well is as follows:

• During the initial 35-hour test period, the well surged to a rate of up to 930 barrels of oil per day for a 3-hour period.
• The SJ-06 well averaged 228 barrels of oil per day during the initial 35-hour test period.
• Oil from the Tutoia formation is a light crude oil with an API gravity of 40.9 °.

The SJ-06 well has total proved ("1P") reserves of 69 thousand barrels of oil and total proved plus probable ("2P") reserves of 134 thousand barrels of oil.

The team continues to monitor well pressure, recovery of the completion fluid, and associated gas levels.

Initial production results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or ultimate recovery.

Specifically, this  press  release contains  forward-looking  statements  relating  to, but not limited to, our business strategies, plans and objectives, and drilling, testing,  and exploration  expectations. These forward-looking statements are based on certain key assumptions regarding,  among other things, our ability to add production and reserves  through our exploration activities; the  receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and other required  approvals for our operating activities; Žthe  availability and cost of labor and other industry services; the continuance of existing and, in certain  circumstances, proposed tax and royalty regimes; and  current industry conditions, laws and regulations continuing in effect (or, where changes are  proposed,  such changes being adopted as  anticipated).  Readers are cautioned that such  assumptions, although considered reasonable by Petro Victory at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect.

Actual results achieved will vary from the information provided herein as a result of numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors.

The above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking statements in this press release has been provided in order to provide shareholders and potential investors with a more complete perspective on  Petro Victory's current and future operations, and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

The disclosure in this news release summarizes certain information contained in the GLJ Reserves and Resources Report but Žrepresents only a portion of the disclosure required under National Instrument 51-101 ("NI 51-101").     Full disclosure with respect to the Company's reserves as at December 31, ŽŽ2022 is contained in the Company's Form 51-101F1 for the year ended December 31, 2022 which has been filed on ŽSEDAR (www.sedar.com). All net present values in this press release are based on estimates of future operating and capital Žcosts and GLJ's forecast prices as of December 31, 2022 and have been made assuming the development of each property in respect of which the estimate is made will occur, without regard to the likely availability to the reporting issuer of funding required for that development. The reserves definitions used in this evaluation are the standards Ždefined by the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (COGEH) reserve definitions, are consistent with NI 51-101 and Žare used by GLJ. The net present values of future net revenue attributable to the Petro Victory's reserves estimated by GLJ do Žnot represent the fair market value of those reserves. Other assumptions and qualifications relating to costs, prices for future Žproduction, and other matters are summarized herein. The recovery and reserve estimates of the Company's reserves Žprovided herein are estimates only, and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves Žmay be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less Žcertain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or Žexceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.Ž

The term BARRELS OF OIL EQUIVALENT ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six Žthousand cubic feet per barrel (6 Mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency Žconversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe Žconversions in this news release are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to Žone barrel of oil.Ž
