CWV Crown Point Energy Inc

Pan American Energy (PAE) and Crown Point Energía S.A. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Crown Point Energy Inc. ("Crown Point") (TSXV – CWV)) have reached an agreement for the assignment of PAE's rights over the Piedra Clavada and Koluel Kaike areas in the province of Santa Cruz, which produce oil and natural gas.

The assignment was approved by the provincial authorities, giving rise to the beginning of a transition process to ensure the operational continuity of these assets. This transaction expands Crown Point Energía's portfolio in Argentina, while also becoming an operator of hydrocarbon assets in the province of Santa Cruz.

PAE will focus on boosting other areas operated by the company in Santa Cruz, maintaining activity in Cerro Dragón Santa Cruz and advancing with the exploration of the neighboring area Meseta Cerón Chico, both located in the north of Santa Cruz.

Investments in the Province of Santa Cruz

Crown Point Energía announced an investment commitment of USD 41.5 million by end- 2026 in the Piedra Clavada and Koluel Kaike areas, a figure that could reach USD 90.8 million if a contingent work program, which includes the drilling of 10 additional wells plus other activities, is implemented. Additionally, Crown Point Energía also committed from 2027 onwards to invest USD 20 million and drill 6 wells, to which a complementary plan involving almost USD 20 million more could be added with the drilling of 6 additional wells.

Pan American Energy will continue with its investment commitment in the Province of Santa Cruz and with the communities near its operations, as it has been doing steadily for several decades. In this regard, between 2005 and 2023, PAE invested more than USD 1.4 billion in Santa Cruz. Regarding 2024, the company is executing an investment plan in Santa Cruz that will reach approximately USD 90 million in the year, which includes the drilling of 22 development wells and a plan of 25 well interventions in the Cerro Dragón Santa Cruz area, and 1 exploratory well in the Meseta Cerón Chico area. If this exploratory well is successful, a potential work plan of 35 producer and injector wells could be developed in the coming years in that area.
