ARROW ANNOUNCES APPRAISAL WELL M-8 RESULTS

Arrow Exploration Corp. has provided an update on the operational activity at the Mateguafa Attic field on the Tapir block in the Llanos basin of Colombia, where Arrow holds a 50-per-cent beneficial interest.

Mateguafa 8 well

The Mateguafa 8 (M-8) well was spudded on Dec. 14, 2025, and reached target depth on Dec. 18, 2025. The M-8 well was drilled, on time and on budget, to a total measured depth of 9,764 feet MD (measured depth) (9,308 feet true vertical depth) and encountered multiple hydrocarbon-bearing intervals, including the Gacheta, the Carbonera C9 formation and three sands in the Carbonera C7 formation.

Arrow began a testing program on the three C7 sands by initially putting all three sands on production and later isolating the top C7 sand. The two tests had uneconomic results, and the decision was made to complete the well in the C9 formation.

Arrow has put the M-8 well on production in the C9 formation, which has approximately 30 feet of oil pay. The pay zone is a clean sandstone exhibiting an average porosity of 23 per cent with high resistivities. An electric submersible pump (ESP) has been inserted in the well after perforating.

The well was put on production (at a heavily restricted rate, a 21/128 choke and a 30-hertz pump frequency) of approximately 230 barrels of oil per day gross (115 bopd net). The oil quality is 31-degree API and there is a 78-per-cent water cut (completion fluid and formation water).

The M-8 well also encountered approximately 12 feet of net oil pay (true vertical depth) in the Gacheta formation that has not been tested and will be exploited in future wells.

The testing results indicate the well is capable of higher rates and the ultimate flow rate will be determined in the first few weeks of production.

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

Mateguafa HZ7 well

The Mateguafa HZ7 (M-HZ7) continues to produce at a current rate of approximately 1,300 bopd gross (650 bopd net) with an 8-per-cent water cut. The M-HZ7 well is producing from the C9 formation. The well has experienced very low decline rates during this initial production phase.

Mateguafa 6 well

The Mateguafa 6 well (M-6) continues to produce at a current rate of approximately 465 bopd gross (232 bopd net) with a 20-per-cent water cut. The M-6 well is producing from the C7 formation.

Mateguafa 5 well

The Mateguafa 5 well (M-5) continues to produce at a current rate of approximately 780 bopd gross (390 bopd net) with a 60-per-cent water cut. The M-5 well is producing from the C9 formation.

Mateguafa HZ9 well

The Mateguafa Horizontal 9 (M-HZ9) spud on Jan. 21, 2026. This well is targeting the C9 formation, which all wells drilled at Mateguafa have encountered. Expectations are that the well will take approximately three weeks to drill and complete and will be put on production thereafter. Original planning had the M-9 well being drilled to be a water disposal well; however, as water production has been lower than forecast, the M-9 well was re-engineered to be a horizontal producer.

Mateguafa 10 and 11 wells

Arrow is building two additional cellars at the Mateguafa pad to facilitate further development of the reservoir. Expectations are that Mateguafa 10 and Mateguafa 11 (M-10 and M-11) will be drilled shortly after M-HZ9.

Forward drilling plans

After the Mateguafa development wells are drilled and put on production, the company plans to move the rig to the Icaco pad to drill an exploration well, which is expected to spud in Q2. The Icaco pad has been completed, and currently five cellars are being constructed. Expectations are that the cellars will be complete and ready to receive the rig from late February. After the exploration well at Icaco and potential follow-up wells at that location, the rig will be moved to the RCE, CN, Alberta and Mateguafa pads for follow-up development wells. Arrow is reviewing oil price and other market considerations and has the flexibility to increase or decrease operations as required. Arrow's focus is to increase production while maintaining a strong balance sheet and the financial flexibility to take advantage of acquisition and acceleration opportunities.

Production

Including the restricted production from the M-8 well, total corporate production is approximately 4,625 barrels of oil equivalent per day. This does not include any production from the CN-HZ7 well, which was flowing at approximately 250 bopd gross (125 bopd net) before being shut in due to a pump failure.

Cash balance

On Jan. 1, 2026, the company's cash balance was $11.5-million (U.S.). The company continues to have no debt.

Tapir extension

Arrow and its partner in the Tapir block remain in discussions with authorities on the extension of the Tapir block. To date, the dialogue has been very constructive. Arrow is confident that all conditions required for the extension to be granted have been met and management remains very confident that the extension will be granted. The company will continue to update the market on developments as they occur.

Marshall Abbott, chief executive officer of Arrow, commented: "With M-8 successfully encountering the C9 formation, we continue to view this as an excellent producing zone into which the company plans to drill further horizontal and vertical wells. The M-8 well tested the northernmost extent of the C9 formation and the success of this well in this formation indicates there are additional opportunities to the north. In the M-8 well, the C7 zone was not economic but showed very strong oil shows in petrophysical logs and the company is exploring strategies to best produce the C7 zone in this area.

"The M-8 well reinforces the materiality that the Mateguafa Attic discovery represents for Arrow. Future wells will help determine the extent of the pools and the potential reserves additions. The area has become another core area for Arrow with the potential for further horizontal drilling development.

"M-9HZ will be the next well drilled in the Mateguafa Attic discovery and an additional two cellars are being prepared for future wells. We look forward to providing further updates on the low-risk ongoing development of the Mateguafa Attic field."
