ECO NOTES LIGHT CRETACEOUS OIL DISCOVERY ON CARAPA-1 WELL, KANUKU BLOCK, OFFSHORE GUYANA

Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas Ltd. has noted the recent announcement by Tullow Oil (37.5 per cent), in partnership with Repsol (operator, 37.5 per cent) and Total (25 per cent), regarding the Cretaceous-age light oil discovery made at the Carapa-1 well on the Kanuku block, directly in board of the Orinduik block offshore.

Preliminary results of drilling, wireline logging, pressure testing and sampling of reservoir fluid indicated the discovery of oil in Upper Cretaceous-age sandstone reservoirs. Testing indicated that the oil is 27-degree API, with a sulphur content of less than 1 per cent.

A map demonstrating the location of the Orinduik block between the Liza field (and the rest of ExxonMobil's discoveries) and the Carapa-1 discovery, offshore, can be found at the Eco website.

Colin Kinley, chief operating officer of Eco Atlantic, commented: "The Carapa discovery is very important to us technically and confirms our thinking on prospectivity on our Orinduik block. The existence of a good oil grade unaffected by sulphur in board of us is excellent news. We have a proven-source kitchen to the north, with ExxonMobil and partners having defined and now producing 32 API at the Liza field to the north of us, and now a 27-API-oil discovery on Carapa to the south of us. We continue to gain a good understanding of the transportation and pooling systems, and we can see the reservoirs clearly in the Cretaceous. As more wells are drilled, it is becoming clearer to understand and define new drilling locations. We see very significant thick pay opportunities in the Cretaceous section on Orinduik, and we are currently defining our upcoming drilling plans, which we hope to have confirmed in the next few weeks.

"Eco is currently preparing an updated CPR under Toronto Stock Exchange and Alternative Investment Market guidelines, which will incorporate the recent discoveries in the Tertiary section on Orinduik, ExxonMobil's additional regional discoveries in 2019 and some of the read-through we see by the derisking of the Cretaceous section, which is estimated to contain close to three billion barrels of oil on the Orinduik block, that the Carapa discovery has helped define.

"Two thousand twenty is a significant year for Eco, and the discovery at Carapa is exactly what we were looking for. We now have drilling prospects that are significantly brightened, and we will provide further updates regarding the CPR, analysis of our discoveries to date and upcoming drilling plans soon."
