PetroTal Corp. Announces 2025 Year-End Oil Reserves PetroTal Corp. announced the results of its 2025 year-end reserve evaluation (the NSAI Report) by Netherland, Sewell & Associates Inc. All currency amounts are in United States dollars unless otherwise stated. Key Highlights: Proved ("1P") and Proved and Probable ("2P") reserves of 66.4 million barrels of oil ("mmbbls") and 110.2 mmbbls, respectively, approximately unchanged YoY; Replaced 106% and 76% of Bretaña 1P and 2P reserves, respectively, after the field produced 6.9 mmbbls in 2025; PDP and 1P after-tax reserve value per share (PV10AT) estimated at 0.48/sh (C0.66, or £0.36) and 0.75/sh (C1.03, or £0.56) respectively; Changes to PV10AT relative to YE24 are primarily due to a substantial reduction in forecast oil price assumptions, as well as higher development capital assumptions associated with the incorporation of additional production and water disposal wells in the Bretaña field development plan; PDP and 1P reserve life index ("RLI") estimated at 5.2 and 9.3 years, respectively; Bretaña 1P and 2P original oil in place ("OOIP") unchanged at 377 mmbbls and 494 mmbbls, respectively. The following tables summarize PetroTal's key reserves information as at December 31, 2025, as presented in the reserves report prepared by NSAI, an independent qualified reserves evaluator. Reserve volumes are presented on PetroTal 100% working interest before royalty basis; in certain tables the columns may not add due to rounding differences. PetroTal's reserve estimates have been prepared in accordance with the standards contained in the most recent publication of the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the "COGEH") and the reserves definitions contained in National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"). PetroTal did not undertake any development drilling in 2025. As a result, reserves replacement is entirely due to revisions to the Bretaña field development plan. At Bretaña (Block 95, PetroTal 100% working interest), PetroTal added five (5) new production wells to the 1P development plan, and six (6) new production wells to the 2P development plan, bringing total development drilling inventory to 37 and 46 wells, respectively. The revised field development plan also includes capital for 10 water disposal wells (including conversions of two producing wells to injectors) in the 2P case, up from 6 at YE24. At the Los Angeles field (Block 131, PetroTal 100% working interest), 1P and 2P reserves decreased by 1.2 mmbbl and 1.9 mmbbl compared to YE24, respectively. Declines in Los Angeles reserves volumes are the result of revisions to the field development plan incorporating data from the 2025 workover and stimulation campaign. Most of the change in the present value of PetroTal's reserves relative to YE24 is attributable to a reduction in forecast oil pricing used by the Company's reserve evaluator. To a lesser extent, the changes in present value are also due to higher future development cost estimates linked primarily to the incorporation of additional production and water disposal wells in the Bretana field development plan, as well as additional capital for upgrades to fluid handling and field infrastructure. Net Present Value Summary: The following tables summarize NSAI's estimates of future net revenue attributable to the reserve categories noted below, both before and after income taxes. It should not be assumed that the undiscounted or discounted net present value of future net revenue attributable to reserves estimated by NSAI represent the fair market value of those reserves. Year-End 2025 Reserves Value Per Share - PV10 After Tax:
Future Development Costs: The following tables summarize future development costs deducted in the estimation of PetroTal's future net revenue attributable to the reserve categories noted below. Future development costs are capital expenditures required in the future for the Company to convert proved undeveloped reserves, probable reserves and possible reserves to proved developed producing reserves. The increase in future development cost estimates is primarily due to the incorporation of additional production and water disposal wells in the Bretaña field development plan, and additional capital for upgrades to fluid handling and field infrastructure. The revised field development plan now contemplates totals of 37/46 production wells in the 1P/2P cases, 9/14 water disposal wells, and 500,000/800,000 bfpd of fluid handling capacity.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 52% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 52% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (24% net profit margin). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (CA$265k sold). Reported Earnings • Nov 16

Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 26% per year but the company’s share price has only fallen by 15% per year, which means it has not declined as severely as earnings.

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: CA$263k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 9.3% per year for the foreseeable future.

PetroTal Corp. Announces Operations Update PetroTal Corp. announced the following operational update. Well 20H Drilling Update and Upper Vivian Sand Test: As disclosed previously with the second quarter 2024 results on August 8, PetroTal commenced drilling Well 20H at the Bretaña field on July 26, 2024. The 20H well has allowed for the evaluation and testing of the upper Vivian formation sand ("VS1"), which for the first time will be jointly completed with the main Vivian 2 ("VS2") sand. For background, the Vivian formation at Bretaña consists of two primary sand bodies. So far, PetroTal has only produced from the VS2 sand, where permeability is an order of magnitude greater than the VS1 sand. As of year-end 2023, Netherland, Sewell and Associates Inc. estimated that about 20% of the 442 million barrels of 2P original oil in place at the Bretaña field is assigned to VS1, while all 2P reserves are allocated to VS2. The 20H well design included a short test of the VS1, to acquire crude samples and test production deliverability. During a brief production test, the VS1 flowed at an equivalent rate of approximately 320 barrels of oil per day of 18.6 API oil, which is of similar gravity to the VS2 oil. PetroTal has decided to complete the 20H well in both sands. Once sufficient production data has been collected, the Company will evaluate the possibility of amending its field development plan to include the VS1, with a view to potentially including the unit in Bretaña's future 2P oil reserves certification. If expectations of low production of formation water volumes from the VS1 are confirmed, oil produced from the VS1 conceptually should not require additional water treatment facilities to be constructed. The well is now drilling ahead in the main VS2 target and is expected to be completed by the end of September. Declared Dividend • Aug 14
