Slide 5 Panoro Energy ASA | H1 2024 Results

RESERVE UPGRADE IN GABON FOLLOWING OIL DISCOVERIES

Realising upside and adding value for stakeholders through Panoro's infrastructure lead exploration and appraisal strategy

  • Adjustments to drilling programme resulted in two new oil discoveries
    • Hibiscus South Extension (onstream in August)
    • Hibiscus Northern Flank (development well currently drilling)
  • Fast track development of new discoveries prioritised and additional wells included in current campaign
  • Mid-year preliminary review by NSAI incorporating recent drilling results confirms a material upgrade to Panoro's 17.5% working interest reserves (pending final certification)

SUBSTANTIAL REMAINING UPSIDE AT DUSSAFU*

  • 4 MMbbls W.I. at end 2023 as stated in the ASR (proforma basis)
  • 3.3 MMbbls W.I. at 30 June 2024 adjusting for H1 production

Panoro Energy ASA | H1 2024 Results * Note: 2P URR and 2C estimates based on Panoro's 2023 Annual Statement of Reserves prepared by Netherland Sewell & Associates. Unrisked prospective resource estimates NSAI/management estimates

HIGH IMPACT ILX WELLS IN CURRENT CAMPAIGNS

Firm ILX wells in the Equatorial Guinea and Gabon drilling campaigns offer large potential upside at modest financial exposure

Panoro has strong track record

of success

NW SE -6000 0 2 km DBM-1 (Projected) Salt Salt Salt Top Gamba Top Gamba Shallow Dentale Shallow Dentale Mid Dentale Deep Melania Shale / Mobile Shale

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Infrastructure led E&A strategy around core production hubs
  • Short lead times to monetisation in success cases
  • Low breakeven thresholds
  • Leverage Panoro's core subsurface expertise

EXPANDING PANORO'S E&A PORTFOLIO IN CORE AREAS

Focused exploration in close proximity to large discoveries and existing infrastructure

  • 19 wells drilled on block resulting in 7 discoveries (4 oil, 2 gas, 1 gas/condensate)
  • Period of negotiations underway to finalise a PSC and work programme
  • Extension of Niger Delta geology into Equatorial Guinea

MOU SIGNED FOR BLOCK EG-23 OFFSHORE EQUATORIAL GUINEA PROVISIONAL AWARD OF BLOCKS G12-13 AND H12-13 OFFSHORE GABON

  • Previously announced the provisional award of a 25% interest in exploration blocks G12-13 and H12-13 (subject to final agreement of terms with government)
  • Combined surface area of 4,918 km2 and adjacent to Dussafu Marin and Etame Marin
  • Low upfront exposure with attractive risk/reward profile
  • Opportunity for Panoro to further leverage its understanding of the pre-salt Gamba and Dentale formations

PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE AND EXPECTED GROWTH

Panoro benefits from a diversified production base

Expected production growth

workovers

onstream

  • Q2 production in Gabon reflects 21 days planned shut-down for previously communicated annual maintenance
  • Equatorial Guinea is steady with two infill wells expected to add new volume
  • Slower regulatory approval processes in Tunisia have delayed well workovers and new projects
  • Full year average production is expected to be slightly below the lowend guidance of 11,000 bopd as a result of:
    • Deferred production arising from changes in the Gabon drilling campaign (resulting in two oil discoveries) and prioritisation of their fast-track development
    • The resulting deferral of ESP replacements in Gabon
    • The alternative rig and revised schedule in Equatorial Guinea
    • Tunisia regulatory process delays

CRUDE LIFTING SCHEDULE MATERIALLY UNCHANGED

Panoro expects to lift a materially higher volume of crude oil in 2024

  • Joint lifting arrangements in 2024 are resulting in a more consistent quarterly lifting pattern
  • Positive crude oil inventory was 179,550 barrels at 30/06/24
  • Panoro's entitlement volume from production in H1 2024 was 1,662,243 barrels
  • H1 2024 average price realisation USD 80.4 /bbl
  • ~200,000 barrels previously assumed to occur late Q4 now expected early 2025

Panoro Energy ASA | H1 2024 Results * Current forecast lifting schedule anticipated by management over remainder of 2024 remains subject to possible changes due to commercial and operational factors

DEBT PROFILE AND CAPEX

• Some upward pressure on FY 2024 capex (primarily due to higher drilling costs in the expanded and rescheduled Gabon and Equatorial Guinea campaigns,

partially offset by lower than expected spend in Tunisia)

Panoro maintains a conservative leverage profile and continues to invest in organic production and reserves growth

Note: Cumulative external debt in the Balance Sheet as of 30 June 2024 was USD 68.6million which includes effects of accrued interest to period end, offset by un-amortised borrowing cost which is to be expensed over the life of the loan instrument.
