Eytan Uliel CEO of Challenger Energy #CEG discusses their technical assessment of the AREA OFF-1 block, offshore Uruguay which revealed an initial prospect inventory of 1 to 2 billion barrels, defined from CEG's 2D seismic reprocessing work.

HIGHLIGHTS

•    An initial prospect inventory of 1 to 2 billion barrels has been defined from CEG's 2D seismic reprocessing work

•    Three sizeable prospects have thus far been identified, derived from a range of play types consistent with those de-risked by recent successful conjugate margin drilling in Namibia by TotalEnergies and Shell

•    Prospects are seismically-derived, and supported / further de-risked by Amplitude Variation with Offset ("AVO") analysis

•    Play robustness is corroborated by geochemical sampling and satellite seep analysis

•    Conjugate margin success, competitive recent licensing rounds in Uruguay, and technical uplift from CEG's 2023 work will drive farm-out process, soon to be initiated
