Panoro Energy ASA (Panoro) is an independent exploration and production (E&P) company headquartered in London and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange with the ticker PEN.
Together with our partners and host governments, it is our duty to produce hydrocarbons responsibly for the foreseeable future in support of a just energy transition.
The TPS Assets comprise five oil field concessions in the region of the city of Sfax, onshore and shallow water offshore Tunisia. The concessions are Cercina, Cercina Sud, Rhemoura, El Ain/Gremda and El Hajeb/Guebiba.
Panoro owns a 49% interest in the fields and a 50% interest in the TPS operating company. The remaining interests are held by the Tunisian State Oil Company ETAP. During 2023, gross production from the TPS fields amounted to 1.6 MMbbls, compared to 1.5 MMbbls in 2022.
The Sfax Offshore Exploration Permit, containing the Ras El Besh Concession, lies in the prolific oil and gas Cretaceous and Eocene carbonate platforms of the Pelagian Basin, offshore Tunisia. Panoro's interest in the license is 87.5%, and the permit area sits amongst numerous existing producing fields with access to all our midstream infrastructure requirements.
The Block G fields consist of the Ceiba Field and Okume Complex fields a series of mid-life oil production assets which started production in 2000. The Ceiba Field is located in 600-800m of water depth on the slope of the southern Rio Muni Basin approximately 35km offshore. The Okume Complex consists of five separate oil fields: Okume; Ebano; Oveng; Akom North; and Elon. During 2023, gross production from the Block G fields amounted to 9.3 MMbbls, compared to 11.3 MMbbls in 2022.
Panoro holds a 14.25% interest in the Block G fields, alongside operator Trident Energy and non-operating partners Kosmos Energy and GE Petrol.
In February 2023 Panoro was awarded a 56% interest and operatorship of Block EG-01 alongside partners Kosmos and GE Petrol. The partners have been awarded block EG-01 for an initial period of three years during which they will conduct subsurface studies based on existing seismic data to further define and evaluate the prospectivity of the block. Following this, the partners will have the option to enter into a further two-year period, during which they will undertake drilling one exploration well. Past exploration activities on Block EG-01 have tested and proven the key geological elements for successful exploration.
In March 2023, Panoro farmed into a 12% nonoperating interest in Block S alongside operator Kosmos Energy and non-operating partners Trident Energy and GEPetrol.
Block S covers a surface area of 1,245 km2 with water depths ranging from 450 metres to 1,500 metres. The block surrounds the producing Ceiba Field and is adjacent to the producing Okume Complex.
Panoro holds a 17.5% interest in the Dussafu license, a development and exploitation license in southern Gabon, alongside operator BW Energy Gabon and non-operating partner Gabon Oil Company. The Dussafu Marin Permit is a license with multiple discoveries and prospects lying within a proven oil and gas play fairway within the Southern Gabon Basin.
The Permit lies at the southern end of the South Gabon sub-basin in water depths ranging from 100 to 500 m, there are eight oil fields; Moubenga, Walt Whitman, Ruche, Ruche North East, Tortue, Hibiscus, Hibiscus North and Hibiscus South. During 2023, gross production from the Tortue and Hibiscus fields amounted to 6.2 MMbbls, compared to 3.9 MMbbls in 2022 from the Tortue field alone.
In August 2022 Panoro was awarded a 100% interest in Technical Co-operation Permit ("TCP") 218 onshore northern Free State Province, South Africa. TCP 218 covered a surface area of approximately 6,608 Km2 in the highly prospective Northern Karoo Basin which has a proven working natural gas and helium system. Panoro undertook a 12-month study to evaluate the helium and natural gas prospectivity of the TCP area.
Based on the results of this work, Panoro made an application for Exploration Right (ER) 376 to undertake early-phase exploration for gas resources (natural gas and helium).
Panoro plans to investigate existing boreholes and conduct airborne geophysical surveys to determine whether there is a gas resource in the area that would warrant further exploration.
Panoro held a 12.5% interest in Block 2B located in the Orange Basin and operated by Eco Atlantic Oil & Gas, the company relinquished its holding in this licence on 6th December 2023.

We are dedicated to making a positive difference in the communities where
I am proud to present our second annual sustainability report, a cornerstone in our commitment to transparency and and measurement of our performance in all facets of our operations. This past year has been characterised by an unwavering dedication to safety and advancements in our sustainability journey.
We made important strides in enhancing our safety culture across all operations. In Tunisia, the HSSE Enhancement Programme focused on HSSE performance and management yielded immediate and positive results.
In Equatorial Guinea, we launched a new Safety Awareness (SWA) programme for our employee base, further reinforcing our commitment to providing a safe and healthy work environment for our employees and contractors. The company's Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) is now much improved and in line with industry norms.
In Tunisia and Equatorial Guinea, we continued to invest in the capacity and capabilities of our people, the emphasis being on the development of skillsets to support Panoro's growing influence in our joint ventures.
Environmental stewardship is integral to our sustainability agenda, and we are actively pursuing initiatives to minimise our environmental footprint. We have made significant progress in emissions measurement and feasibility of potential mitigation projects, laying the groundwork for meaningful emissions reduction initiatives across our operations.
During 2023, we collaborated and engaged in more strategically advanced and sophisticated sustainability activities and discussions, for example, supporting Trident Energy, the operator at Block G offshore Equatorial Guinea, on a more comprehensive emissions program that would see captured gas being utilised as a power source.
Additionally, the proposed programme in Tunisia with ETAP and TPS to invest c. USD\$8.2m in reducing flaring and fugitive emissions across our Tunisian operations over the next four years is a significant step toward our sustainability goals. This would result in an 85% reduction of flared gas.
we operate"
Furthermore, our continued collaboration on pipeline intelligent pigging and well management in Tunisia demonstrates our ongoing commitment to ensuring asset integrity while minimising environmental impact.
From collaboration with the governorate on social projects in Tunisia to support for social impact initiatives in Equatorial Guinea, we are dedicated to making a positive difference in the communities where we operate.
As we continue to navigate the evolving energy landscape, governance remains at the centre of our business. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance and transparency, ensuring that our stakeholders can trust in our long-term vision and strategic direction.
Critical to enabling this was a deeper interrogation of our Enterprise-Wide Risk Management (EWRM) processes, conducting a detailed risk register review, and embedding these findings within our Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) programme to ensure that sustainability-related risks and opportunities form an integral part of future decision making. The DMA is our first step in embracing the new sustainability regulations.
As we look ahead to the future, we remain committed to sustainability and responsible business practices. Our journey towards a more sustainable future is ongoing, and we are committed to driving positive change every step of the way.
In summary, 2023 has been a year of good progress and achievement for Panoro, underscoring our commitment to sustainability, safety, and operational excellence. I am confident that with our continued dedication and unwavering commitment to our values, we will continue to drive positive change and create long-term value for all stakeholders.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

We recognise the importance of regular materiality assessments to understand the relative importance of key sustainability issues to our stakeholders. This helps provide a framework for prioritising our efforts and our capital, both now and in the future.
Given Panoro's continued growth, as well as macro and legislative changes throughout 2023, we conducted a review of our materiality profile reviewing the most significant impacts (positive and negative, actual and potential) generated by the organisation on the economy, environment and people ("Impact Materiality" perspective).
Anticipating the new requirements from the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the analysis was updated in line with a Double Materiality approach that requires consideration of the Financial Materiality perspective, identifying issues that present sustainability risks and opportunities that significantly influence or may influence the company's future cash flows, affecting its development, performance and positioning in the short, medium or long term.
We worked with Buchanan's sustainability practice to execute this scope of work.
Using our 2022 Materiality Assessment as a basis, we undertook a review of our material issues. Given the inherently close nature of wider business risk and materiality, this process was commenced in line with our Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Review.
This is to ensure that our understanding and appreciation of the issues that matter most to our business are up-to-date and relevant. During this phase, the Company added joint venture engagement and supply chain management to the list of topics to reflect the updates in our corporate risk register.
This phase looks to bring together evidence demonstrating the likelihood, scale and scope of both directions of impact. From a financial materiality perspective, Panoro measures the materiality of an issue by considering the probability of occurrence and the magnitude of the financial effects.
Conversely, from an impact materiality perspective, Panoro measures materiality by gaining an appreciation of the severity and likelihood of the impact on the environment and/ or society.
When considering the short- to medium-term impacts of each material topic, we consider how they influence both capital expenditure (CapEx) — encompassing investments in physical assets and infrastructure — and operational expenditure (OpEx), which relates to day-to-day running costs and operational activities.
To validate our material issues, stakeholder interests and expectations are considered. Throughout 2023, Panoro carried out numerous engagement activities including interviews, meetings and workshops.
To capture the nuances of Panoro's priorities, the Company engages key individuals across the organisation. The Company's governance infrastructure includes oversight of risks and opportunities, as well as monitoring progress on goals and commitments taken while monitoring new emerging issues.
As we delve further into our double materiality profile, we will continue to ensure that relevant governance structures, processes and procedures are in place.
We continue to work on integrating the results of our review into our standards, processes and procedures. Given that material issues are closely linked to business risks, the analysis fed into the identification of new risks within the Company's risk register.
The work carried out to date on double materiality has given us an appreciation of the financial and impact materiality of issues faced by Panoro for the year 2023.
The Company sees this as a continual process and will continue to develop its approach and understand these impacts over the stated time horizons.

Through strong, transparent and ethical corporate governance practices Panoro effectively manages its key risks and opportunities that have the potential to financially impact the company.

Panoro's culture is one premised on setting high ethical and professional standards, characterised by the values of respect, honesty, transparency and trust throughout all levels of the organisation.
Aligned with our Code of Conduct, we hold ourselves and our stakeholders to the same standards, including host governments, partners, employees, contractors, and customers. Through transparent corporate governance practices, Panoro effectively manages its key risks and opportunities that have the potential to financially impact the company.
We conduct six-monthly reviews of the risk register and this year, in response to the evolving landscape of environmental challenges, updated our Enterprise-Wide Risk Management (EWRM) framework. This comprised updates to climate change, emissions, and biodiversity matters.
To enhance the specificity of our risk management efforts, we have divided our risk register into three distinct categories: corporate, exploration, and assets. This segmentation allows for a more nuanced analysis and targeted mitigation strategies, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges posed by each aspect of our operations. The highestranking risks within the company risk register are discussed at each Board meeting.
Where Panoro is not the operator, we engage our operating partners to share our expectations and work together to improve performance.
Information on Panoro's governance and management of climate-related risk and opportunity can be found in the TCFD section of this report on page 19.



Asset Level (Operated and Non-Operated)
Panoro is committed to operating responsibly by reducing our emissions and other environmental impacts from our activities with the intention being that the company's presence has a positive impact on its stakeholders.
Our Management System Framework ("Framework") outlines the principal components for governing and managing safety and sustainability within our operations and the countries where we are active.
Our CEO holds overall responsibility for the safety and sustainability performance of the Company, supported by his management team and with oversight from the Board Sustainability Committee.
To ensure the Company operates in a responsible manner, this Framework was created to guide those working on our behalf to the standards expected and ensure good governance over all our business activities.
Our Framework sets out our approach to operational sustainability, which includes the environment, climate change, health, safety & security, social, economic and governance structures, policies, standards and procedures. The senior management team monitor progress against agreed objectives and targets during weekly operational meetings. Safety and sustainability matters affecting the company are an integral part of these meetings.
Panoro's Projects Director is responsible for collecting safety and sustainability data from all operating assets to generate a monthly safety and sustainability report that is shared internally.
Formal risk review meetings are held at least two times every year, during which all existing or newly identified risks categorised as high (or significant) are reviewed and discussed. This includes an assessment of the effectiveness of risk reduction measures and whether the mitigated risk is then acceptable to the company. Following this meeting, the company-wide and Board risk registers are updated, and a risk report is prepared for the Board.
It is the senior management team's responsibility to identify and implement effective risk reduction measures to reduce risks to the company by applying As Low As Reasonably Practical (ALARP) principles.
Further, we conduct a risk assessment when acquiring assets and roll the asset into the biannual risk reviews immediately upon completion, in line with our EWRM Standard.
We recognise the role that we play in supporting a just and responsible energy transition. We also recognise the impact the energy transition may have on developing economies that rely on oil and gas revenues and will work closely with our host governments and other stakeholders to support an effective and balanced transition.

As a company that operates within the oil and gas industry, sharing joint responsibility for our operating assets in Tunisia and with nonoperated positions elsewhere, our goal is to minimise our direct and indirect impacts on the environment through the way we conduct our own business and manage our offices, striving to improve on historical performance and in the ways that we manage our relationships with our partners.
Panoro is a relatively small organisation of 24 office-based employees across London and Africa with systems in place appropriate for a business of our size. As of the end of 2023, we have offices in London, Tunisia, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. We hold equal and joint responsibility for the TPS operations in Tunisia, as a 50:50 partner with the state oil company ETAP.
We are committed to retaining a highly skilled and engaged workforce and developing and investing in our colleagues. This starts with fair and competitive compensation and benefits and includes providing an engaging and inclusive work environment.
Our teams are made up of experienced personnel with broad and complementary skill sets that enable the growth ambitions of the business. Our systems, policies and processes accommodate national and international laws and regulations regarding labour practices and conditions, including matters relating to human rights.
At Panoro, ensuring safety remains our top priority. Our commitment is achieving zero harm to individuals, zero lost-time incidents, and zero overall incidents.
Every team member and contractor at Panoro plays a crucial role in recognising, evaluating, and managing risks within the company. The Safety and Sustainability Policy underscores our dedication to identifying, assessing, and managing Health, Safety, Security, and Environmental (HSSE) risks, subject to annual review and approval by senior management.
Our standards align with best industry practices, drawing inspiration and guidance from organisations like the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP) and adhering to recognised international standards such as ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and ISO 9001 (Quality Management System).
The Board takes responsibility for determining acceptable risk levels, informed by management insights. It bi-annually scrutinises strategic risks to the business and quarterly reviews the highest-ranked risks catalogued in the Risk Register. The Board's key focus is overseeing risk mitigation strategies and ensuring the adequacy of mitigation plans.
Senior management is held accountable for the company's health, safety, security, and environmental performance, with a continuous commitment to improvement.
Operating in a manner that safeguards our employees, contractors, partners, suppliers, and communities is ingrained in our ethos. As Panoro increases it's operating footprint our focus has organically expanded and strengthened.
Within our office environments, we've identified associated health and safety risks, including those linked to business travel. All employees, officers and directors receive information on safe work practices, business travel procedures, and emergency preparedness, reinforcing our commitment to a secure and resilient work environment.
The TPS Well Integrity Management system establishes monitoring and measurement requirements to ensure the integrity of all TPS wells. It will be established operationally during the coming year. At Cercina, engineering design work is in progress to safeguard the integrity of the existing facilities, with further enhancements planned to extend their lifespan in recognition of the field life extension associated with the Cercina Concession renewal.
TPS also have an ongoing comprehensive condition monitoring and chemical corrosion inhibition programme to ensure the integrity of the process plant across the whole asset. Critical safety equipment is tested and maintained at appropriate intervals as part of the maintenance programme to ensure they will work on demand.
Similar systems are managed by both BW Energy and Trident Energy which are aligned with best practices. Further information on the performance across our operated and nonoperated assets can be found throughout this report.
Panoro believes that value-driven leadership encourages and inspires employees, driving development, security and a better working environment internally, as well as a stronger reputation externally. We provide the opportunity for training for all Panoro employees on an ad hoc basis or as appropriate to meet business requirements and regulations.
At TPS an HSSE Performance Enhancement programme was launched during 2023 which in part comprised leadership training for the TPS management team. This programme will be rolled out to the supervisory level and then field operational level during the course of 2024.
Panoro is an equal opportunity employer and has enshrined this within its policies. We have a responsibility to ensure that all employees feel safe and supported.
The Company embraces a diversified working environment, and the Company's personnel policies promote equal opportunities and rights and prevent discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, colour, language, religion or belief.

As stated in our Code of Conduct, we focus on high ethical standards, professionalism, respect, honesty, transparency, loyalty and trust throughout all levels of the organisation.
Panoro had 24 permanent employees at the end of 2023 of which 79% were male and 21% were female. These statistics exclude employment at a joint venture level.
Our business success also rests with those representing us, and therefore our management processes in this regard are required to be clear and robust. Every staff member and contractor associated with Panoro plays a crucial role in identifying, assessing, and managing risks within the company.
Panoro is committed to responsible and sustainable environmental management, applying acknowledged industry standards for protecting the environment. The Company will operate responsibly wherever we work in the world, and we have a commitment to continually reduce emissions for all our operations through enhanced operating procedures, appropriate maintenance and innovation.
The company maintains a robust environmental management culture, ensuring that our employees and contractors receive proper training and understand their environmental responsibilities.
We also ensure that our contractors are informed about and adhere to our environmental standards. Additionally, we actively engage with our business partners to advocate for sound environmental management practices.
Panoro's ESG Management System is based on international standards ISO 45001, 9001 and 140001.
Panoro monitors the Company's environmental performance on an ongoing basis through monthly performance monitoring and annual auditing.
Panoro has implemented a comprehensive management system, encompassing environmental management for its corporate office in London and individual management systems for its operating entities. TPS in Tunisia, BW Energy for the Dussafu asset in Gabon, and Trident Energy for the Block G asset in Equatorial Guinea each maintain their respective management systems.
While these systems are yet to obtain ISO 14001 certification, they are supported by welldefined job descriptions outlining environmental responsibilities for all positions within Panoro and TPS.
TPS actively manages a corrective actions register, with oversight from Partners ETAP and Panoro during quarterly Operating Committee Meetings. Environmental data is collected and reported monthly internally.
Across the major assets, comprehensive programs are in place to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, TPS is advancing environmentally-focused initiatives, including photovoltaic light installations, plastic waste cleanup at onshore sites, and a gas-to-power plant installation to reduce electrical power consumption from the grid and improve resource efficiency.
An external environmental reporting audit of TPS is scheduled for late 2024, underscoring the commitment to maintaining rigorous environmental management standards.
Panoro supports the operating entities in minimising effluent discharge.
In TPS, Tunisia, and Block G, Equatorial Guinea, produced water is reinjected into underground reservoirs.
At Dussafu in Gabon, produced water, containing oil concentrations well below statutory limits and industry standards, is discharged as permitted.

In July 2023, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) took a significant step forward with its integration into the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as IFRS S2.
This development reflects a growing recognition of the need to incorporate climaterelated risks and opportunities into financial reporting. IFRS S2 seeks to standardise and enhance the disclosure of climate-related information, providing a comprehensive framework for companies to communicate their climate impacts transparently.
The requirements remain consistent with the four core recommendations and eleven recommended disclosures originally published by the TCFD.
The framework provided by the TCFD is still recognised as a good starting point for companies as they transition to using the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) Standards in the coming years, therefore, the following pages remain structured around the recommended four themes of governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets.
Panoro's Sustainability Committee, a Board subcommittee, plays a key role in integrating ESG performance and ambitions into the company's practices during the energy transition. Guided by management and external advice, the committee recommends governance, resource, and reporting frameworks aligned with global standards.
With explicit oversight of Panoro's Safety and Sustainability Policy, the committee addresses climate-related issues and ensures alignment with the highest standards of safe and sustainable business practices, minimising risks associated with operations.
Recognising climate change as a relevant risk, the committee reports proceedings to the Board after each meeting, ensuring comprehensive oversight of climate-related issues. The Committee actively makes recommendations to the Board for necessary actions or improvements within its remit, reflecting the company's commitment to addressing emerging challenges and opportunities.
Throughout the year, the Sustainability Committee convenes to address sustainabilityrelated programs and make informed recommendations for continuous improvement.

Describe management's role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities
Management at Panoro plays a pivotal role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities. Our organisational structure, Code of Conduct, standards, and culture collectively constitute an internal control system governing risk management.
This system ensures consistent and clear reporting of risks from group operations to management and the Board on a quarterly basis.
Responsibility for climate-related matters lies with our Projects Director, overseeing decarbonisation programs, while our CFO manages financial activities related to climate change. The CEO, responsible for strategy execution, considers the impacts and opportunities of climate change.
Through our EWRM process, we identify, monitor, and address ESG and climate-related risks. Risks are assessed by identifying the consequences and the likelihood of occurrence, then ranked according to severity. Mitigation actions are established to promote safe, compliant, and efficient operations.
Senior management oversees climate-related issues through the EWRM process, ensuring adequate resources and skilled personnel for a comprehensive risk identification and review. Country managers implement the EWRM process within their areas, managing risk assessments and updating risk registers regularly.
TPS reports safety and environmental incidents urgently based on severity, with daily production reports providing health, safety, and environmental highlights. Routine conversations allow deeper assessment of potential issues, fostering a proactive risk management approach.
Describe the climate-related risks and opportunities the organisation has identified over the short, medium and long term.
We have defined time horizons as the following: Short term (to the end of 2025) Medium term (2026 to 2030) Long term (post-2030)
In accordance with standard practice, we consider climate-related risks and opportunities under two broad categories: transition and physical risks.
While these aspects can cover a wide range of issues, we have identified the risks and opportunities that we believe are material for Panoro due to their potential to impact our strategy.
Climate-related risks are integrated into the corporate risk register and therefore materiality and financial impact analysis are considered. Policy and legal risks are presently rated most highly within our EWRM risk register for the potential to financially impact our business, followed by access to capital which draws upon market and reputational risks associated with climate change.

Forming a key component of climate-related risk and opportunity assessment, we assessed key transitional parameters in each country of operation.
A summary of the findings is included below, which should be read in conjunction with our risks and opportunity assessment thereafter.

| South Africa | South Africa's revised mitigation targets in its updated NDC mark a significant progression. The country commits to fixed greenhouse gas emission levels of 398-510 million tCO2e by 2025 and 350-420 million tCO2e by 2030, a notable reduction from the previous targets of 398 and 614 million tCO2e between 2025 and 2030. The updated NDC includes the country's first adaptation communication with detailed measures. Additionally, South Africa aims for net-zero emissions by 2050 in its Low-Emission Development Strategy. |
The official carbon tax rate was set at \$8 per tCO2e in 2022. With the transition phase of the carbon tax extended from the end of 2022 to the end of 2025, the effective carbon tax rate is expected to remain low, despite the planned increase in the headline official rate in the coming years. |

The IEA reported meaningful investment into renewable sources of energy, such as wind and solar, and new sales records for electric vehicles in 2020. It highlighted that in certain markets, solar and wind now represent the cheapest available sources for new electricity generation. However, under the Announced Pledges and Stated Policies Scenarios, oil demand remains at current or increasing levels through 2030. |

| Transition Risk | Market | Changing customer Long behaviour |
Reduced demand for goods and services due to shift in consumer preferences |
Reduced demand and price outlook for natural gas and oil have the potential to impact portfolio value. To be a reputable participant in the market, meaningful action on climate change is required which is why we are taking steps to understand our impact and set our own roadmap for how we can improve. |

| Based on Panoro's beliefs and scenarios this is a longer-term risk to the business. The risk lies in people moving quicker than expected to renewable sources of energy. |
|||||
| Uncertainty in market signals |
Short | Abrupt and unexpected shifts in energy costs |
The energy transition is likely to entail wildly fluctuating energy prices and service industry costs, to an extent not seen for several decades. In this context, it is important to create long-term planning objectives and then manage the price and cost cycle opportunities that arise. |
||
| Increased cost of raw materials |
Short – Medium | Increased production costs due to changing input prices and output requirements |
Global record-high natural gas prices are pushing some companies to curtail production in a trend that is adding to disruptions to global supply chains in some sectors such as food and could result in higher costs being passed on to their customers. As an exploration and production company, we factor opportunities to reduce energy consumption, reduce emissions, and ensure regulatory compliance into our capital budget. |
||
| Reputation | Shifts in consumer preferences |
Medium | Reduced revenue from decreased demand for goods/services |
A decrease in demand in end-user consumption of oil and gas products remains a risk for the industry. However, we believe that in line with the IEA's outlook, oil and gas will continue to play an important role within the energy mix for decades to come. |

Panoro has recognised and is currently assessing the implementation of several climate-related opportunities at a corporate level and within our operated asset.
Upon acquiring the TPS asset in 2018, Panoro initiated a strategic focus on production efficiency, identifying opportunities for improved operations. The first step involved replacing oil trucking with a safer pipeline route between the Guebiba field and the Tank Battery export terminal. This not only enhanced safety but also reduced diesel usage and eliminated the risk of spills.
Collaborating with ETAP and TPS, the Panoro team actively explores options to minimise gas flaring in alignment with environmental impact reduction goals.
A gas valorisation feasibility study in 2021 assessed microturbines and gas engines to power infrastructure, with a subsequent engineering concept study in 2022 emphasising the initial deployment of micro-turbine units at Guebiba and Tank Battery facilities. Detailed engineering work is underway to achieve these objectives.
A further initiative now being progressed involves the optimisation of the TPS production process to minimise venting and release of fugitive emissions.
Upgrades to the production system have been identified that are expected to reduce offgas venting, whilst a methane camera is planned to be purchased to identify sources of fugitive emissions, enabling more targeted equipment repairs and process enhancements.
At TPS, ongoing waste minimisation efforts include the injection of produced water into subsurface saline aquifers, enhancing sustainability. Panoro is actively working to increase injection capacity at Guebiba to minimise saltwater trucking.
These efforts have to date focussed on increasing the injectivity of the single Guebiba water injector, a planned drilling of a second produced water injection well will, it is envisaged, eradicate the need for any further saltwater trucking.
Internally, our commitment to resource efficiency extends to monitoring and improving cooling and heating systems in our offices. We strive to reduce trucking, optimise energy use, and minimise boat journeys, resulting in multifaceted benefits across cost, safety, and the environment.
In response to the escalating demand for helium across various industries, Panoro is continuing to actively explore for this resource, recognising its wide application in semiconductors, fibre-optic cables, computer chips, welding, industrial leak detection, cryogenics, nuclear power plants, and MRI machines.
As traditional helium reserves in North America dwindle, the global helium market faces increasing pressure, making the search for new sources imperative. Panoro has set its sights on the Karoo Basin in South Africa, where heliumbearing gas exhibits a higher concentration, offering a more efficient supply compared to other global sources.
This strategic development in the Karoo Basin presents a dual advantage. The higher helium concentration allows for less gas production and the extracted natural gas can be utilised to generate electricity, reducing reliance on regional coal-fired power stations.
There is an additional carbon credit potential in this project since the gas that is the target for development is currently naturally venting into the atmosphere from boreholes and natural geological features extending to the surface.

The Company's Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions relate to electrical power consumption at our offices in London, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Tunisia, in addition to the office and operational sites of TPS in Sfax which consume the vast majority of this power.
The operations in Tunisia utilise electrical power supplied by STEG the national electricity company, plus self-generated electrical power from the combustion of associated gas and diesel at the Cercina offshore field.
An opportunity exists to improve the environmental efficiency of TPS operations by minimising routine flaring and using this associated gas to generate power for the operation of the production facilities. Power generated will displace an equivalent provision of electrical power supplied by the national grid.
We have an ambition to reduce annual routine flared gas volumes to zero in line with The World Bank's Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative and have started detailed engineering studies to progress this gas valorisation project. At the same time, this initiative will dramatically reduce the Company total Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions.
The flaring of gas contributes to climate change and impacts the environment through the emission of CO₂, methane and other pollutants. It also wastes valuable energy resources that could be used to advance the sustainable development of producing countries.
Panoro introduced the use of photovoltaic cells at TPS to provide lighting on the Guebiba and Tank Battery access roads. A study was undertaken in 2022 to assess the feasibility of implementing wider usage of this technology. It was concluded that additional use of photovoltaic cells at the off-grid GUE-7 well pad location is recommended. Usage at the Rhemoura and Tank Battery locations will be considered if insufficient power is generated by the gas valorisation project at these locations.
We recognise that the industry is aligned in its need to deliver energy safely and responsibly to meet the aim of the Paris Agreement. With our partner in Tunisia, we continue to define our Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction investment strategies and alongside our partners in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, we are detailing specific decarbonisation roadmaps that support a just and responsible energy transition in Africa.
The potential impacts of the physical risks we have identified could include a reduction in production, supply chain disruption and damage to facilities.
Due to the uncertainty associated with the impact of climate change on severe weather events in the future, it is difficult to quantify the potential impacts associated with any increase in these risks. Nevertheless, we are taking steps to improve the resilience of our operations to the physical changes that might occur.
Through our EWRM process, we identify, monitor and address ESG and climate-related risks to our business. This incorporates a risk register through which we identify all significant risks, assess their impact on the business and then develop mitigating measures to reduce their impact to acceptable levels.
We plan to allocate sufficient capital to accelerate our energy transition strategy. This includes investing in measures to reduce the environmental impact of our existing oil production operations, it extends to finding opportunities to invest in projects that may play a key role in the energy transition in the years ahead, such as the South African ER 376 opportunity.
Norway is seeking to more than triple its tax on carbon dioxide by 2030, increasing its charge for a ton of emitted CO₂ equivalents from €60 to €200, the government has stated in a wideranging white paper spelling out the country's climate action plan. Whilst this does not affect any Panoro assets, this may be indicative of future changes in legislation in other jurisdictions.
In response to the changing regulatory landscape and our commitment to excellent standards of environmental management, we continue to seek ways in which we can reduce the emissions profiles of our operations.
Concerns surrounding the energy transition have the potential to reduce the appetite of banks or investors to finance hydrocarbon activities. We do not anticipate any material change to funding in the short to medium term but are aware of this risk and will continue to listen to our investor's wishes for the business in this respect.
We have conducted a modelling exercise to evaluate the impacts of some of our most direct climate related risks and benchmark oil pricing scenarios. This aids in assessing the resilience of the business to market fluctuations under various development scenarios.
Climate considerations are factored into a set of scenarios that have been used to test the resilience of the Group's portfolio when assessed on the basis of cash flows and remaining recoverable resources.
This includes factoring in current legislation (e.g., environmental taxes/fees) and estimation of future levels of environmental taxes. The Group's participation in the current licenses and concessions in various jurisdictions are not currently subject to specific carbon pricing.
At the recent COP26 UN climate conference, member states explicitly acknowledged the importance of limiting global warming to less than 1.5°C, rather than the previous Paris Agreement target of 'well below 2°C'. Despite these targets, global energy demand is projected to continue to grow rapidly, and emerging economies in Africa and other geographies are increasingly looking to their fossil resources to underpin economic growth, finance their own energy transition, and help to pay for urgently needed climate adaptation measures.
Our strategy therefore aims to balance environmental, energy security and economic objectives by investing in efficient producing assets in North, West and South Africa, and working with our partners to support the transition to a low-carbon business.
The company has run sensitivities for its West and North African oil assets in order to test the resilience of the Company's business, using three of the four scenarios examining future energy trends published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in their World Energy Outlook 2023 publication.
The scenario impact on our portfolio value and reserves is assessed against that generated by our own oil price assumptions. We have assumed a linear bridging between end 2023 prices and the first price point given by the IEA in 2030 and assess NPV forward-looking from 2024. The scenarios, generated by changing oil price assumptions only, have the following key features:
NZE requires global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to drop by around 50% by 2030, or 7% per year from 2021, implying a rapid drop in oil and gas consumption, a massive push into renewable energy, big gains in energy efficiency, and rapid development and scaling-up of new technologies, including carbon capture.
Another major focus is reducing methane emissions from fossil fuel operations. It also demands no further fossil fuel exploration and no new oil and gas production from fields beyond those already approved for development. In the NZE Scenario, oil demand falls to 77 mb/d in 2030. The electrification of cars and trucks makes a bigger contribution than anything else to reduce oil use, but efficiency improvements and low-emissions fuels also play an important role, especially in aviation and shipping.
Oil demand falls to just under 25 mb/d in 2050: around 70% of this is accounted for by the use of oil as a petrochemical feedstock and in products such as paraffin waxes, asphalt and bitumen where the oil is not combusted. Prices fall along with demand to USD 44/bbl in 2030 and USD 26/bbl in 2050.
In the APS scenario all national energy and climate targets made by governments are met in full and on time, total energy demand flattens, thanks to improved energy efficiencies. Demand falls to 93 mb/d in 2030 and to 55 mb/d in 2050. Oil demand in road transport modes falls more sharply, with EVs accounting for more than 75% of passenger car and truck sales in 2050. Only in petrochemicals and aviation is more oil used in 2050 than in 2022. There are plans to restrict or ban the production and utilisation of singleuse plastics and to scale up plastics recycling, but these do not prevent an overall increase in global demand for plastics.
The use of sustainable aviation fuels increases, but oil use for aviation nevertheless grows to the mid 2030s and then only declines slowly. Maritime oil use falls by 55% between 2022 and 2050, however, half of the fuels used in ships in 2050 are low-emissions fuels. Oil prices decline from USD 77/bbl in 2030 to USD 62/bbl in 2050.
In the STEPS scenario, oil demand reaches its maximum level of 102 mb/d in the late 2020s before declining slightly to 97 mb/d in 2050, with reduced demand in road transport as a result of the rise of EVs offset by increased oil use in petrochemicals and in aviation. In practice, this would probably mean an undulating plateau lasting for many years with demand moving slightly above and below a long-term average from year to year. Oil prices decline slightly, reaching USD 88/bbl in 2030 and USD 86/bbl in 2050.

Oil demand and prices peak in the late-2020s in the STEPS; there are much sharper declines in both the APS and NZE scenario.
Sensitivity analysis conducted show that the Company's portfolio remains resilient under each of the above mentioned scenarios. Even under the most demanding NZE scenario, all segments remain economic, even though NPVs are negatively impacted and would result in an illustrative potential impairment loss of around USD 81 million.
A summary of the impact of the different future oil price scenarios on NPV and reserves are as follows:
Moreover, a significant and prolonged reduction in oil and gas prices would likely result in mitigating actions by the Group and its license partners; for example it could have an impact on drilling plans and production profiles for new and existing assets.
Quantifying such impacts is considered impracticable, as it requires detailed evaluations based on hypothetical scenarios and not based on existing business or development plans.
| Percentage reduction/ (increase) |
Net Zero Emissions (NZE) |
Announced Pledges (APS) |
Stated Policies (STEPS) |
|---|---|---|---|
| NPV10 | 48% | 5% | (13%) |
| Reserves | 34% | 10% | 4% |
These illustrative impairment sensitivities assume no changes to assumptions other than oil and gas prices. However, significant reduction in the oil and gas prices, offset by foreign currency effects, would likely impact the Group's investment levels. The illustrative sensitivities on climate change are not considered to represent a best estimate of an expected impairment impact.

Describe the organisation's processes for identifying and assessing climate-related risks Panoro defines risk as exposure to the possibility of loss, injury or other adverse or unwelcome circumstances or situations involving such possibility. A risk is an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a negative effect on the Company. For Panoro, risks are divided into six risk categories that best cover the work activities as follows:
We are committed to effectively managing all aspects of risk for the business to reduce any negative effect by applying As Low As Reasonably Practical (ALARP) principles. The Company's Safety and Sustainability Policy demonstrates a commitment to identify, assess and manage all aspects of HSSE risks. Panoro has a mandated ongoing process, risk registers will be subject to a six-monthly review and update, then rolled up to the Board.
There are further reviews whenever there is a significant change to the business, with the Board being briefed as appropriate. This process enables us to quickly identify, escalate and appropriately manage emerging risks.
Through our EWRM process, we identify, monitor and address ESG and climate-related risks to our business in addition to existing and emerging regulatory requirements related to climate change. The process is based on a continuous improvement methodology that is an integral part of ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety, ISO 14001 Environmental Management and ISO 9001 Quality Management Standards.
Our structured process for identifying hazards that may be present within the planned project or circumstance is conducted by a team with appropriate experience, expertise and knowledge. Once the various hazards have been identified, each one is assessed for consequence and likelihood of occurrence using the EWRM Consequence Matrix. Our consequence severity table provides some guidance as to how consequence levels should be selected for the specific risk.
We are managing climate-related risks by carefully monitoring developments addressing cause, impacts and associated legislative response. Through this understanding and benchmarking performance against the upstream industry, we are setting goals and targets for improving.
This extends to raw measurements and data gathering, the funding and implementing of specific improvement projects to reduce emissions, improving asset integrity and taking steps to reduce flaring and venting.
We are and will be conducting internal and external auditing programmes to verify improvements.
Once all the risks have been classified into Low, Medium, High and Very High, risk reduction measures must be developed to reduce any risk to as low as reasonably practical. All risk reduction measures should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely). Managing risks involves developing costeffective options to deal with them including:
| Avoiding |
|---|
| Reducing |
| Transferring |
| Accepting |
Each country maintains its own risk register which is reviewed at regular management meetings. Risks classified as high should be transferred to the Company wide Risk Register. This register is reviewed every three months by the Executive Team to monitor and review the effectiveness of the risk reduction measures. The company wide risk register will be presented and discussed at least twice per year in a Board meeting.
Our well-established risk management process has been extended to address climate-related risks. This has identified and ranked the most significant risks to which the business is exposed. As a consequence, projects mitigating these risks have been defined and are beginning to be implemented across the company assets. At our operated asset TPS, our objective is to reduce routine flaring to zero by 2030, currently our most significant climate-related project activity. At our non-operated Block G, the operator is proceeding with an ambitious capital investment programme that will reduce absolute emissions associated with flaring by up to 85% by 2030.
2023 has provided a second base year set of data. Historical and current key performance indicators relate to the accurate recording and reporting of climate-related base line data. This is expected to transition to target setting and then monitoring progress against those targets in the years ahead.

Disclose the metrics used by the organisation to assess climate-related risks and opportunities in line with its strategy and risk management process
To effectively manage climate-related risks and opportunities, we gather and monitor our data in line with IOGP guidelines and historical performance indicators. We consider total GHG emissions, energy consumption and hydrocarbons flared as our key metrics with absolute and intensity levels of each variable regularly monitored.
In Q4 2022 we conducted a review and a formal audit of emissions monitoring capabilities which highlighted the need to improve the measurement of emissions to ensure a more accurate emissions monitoring.
As part of a further emissions audit in Q1 2024 it was observed that higher accuracy metering was being installed on the asset, separator meters were upgraded during 2023 with highand low-pressure flare metering being installed for the first time during 2024.
These technical improvements now form an integral part of the asset enhancement programme for 2024 and will enable more accurate measurement of data and the ability to set baseline and reduction targets for our operations, this will ultimately allow the business to measure and report on the performance of specific interim and longer-term emissions reduction projects.
Climate-related metrics are incorporated into the company KPIs, the performance against which determines annual remuneration. The Company is yet to define internal carbon prices for target setting.
New technical upgrades are enhancing data measurement, enabling emission reduction target setting and monitoring.

In 2023, Panoro invested in the hiring of specific roles and team members enhancing both the efficiency and productivity of the team in Tunisia. The new hires play a key role in bridging cultural gaps and fostering a unified safety culture. In February, Andy Scott joined the team as Deputy General Manager with a focus on governance of HSSE. Andy brings years of leadership and practical experience in leading oil companies.
As a JV partner in TPS with the national oil company ETAP, we take equal responsibility for the health, safety and welfare of our 172 TPS employees. Underpinning our commitment to safety, and recognising it as our top priority, we operate a health and safety management system with clear operating parameters that capture all health and safety data; calculated and reported in line with IOGP standards.
TPS provides monthly health and safety updates to Panoro, and this information is reviewed during the quarterly Technical and Operating Committee Meetings (TOCMs), which are in turn shared with Panoro's leadership team and Board.
During 2023 there were 0 Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) at TPS and TRIR fell from 5.9 to 1.0. Tragically a contractor was killed on a neighbouring project unrelated to TPS, learnings from this awful incident were shared with TPS staff.
5.9 to 1.0
For all operational activities, every employee and contractor has the right to immediately issue a stop work order in the event of an unacceptable risk of accident or environmental incident being identified. In the event of serious incidents occurring or high-potential incidents being identified, a comprehensive root cause analysis is conducted as part of post-incident investigations, this identifies and prioritises areas for improvement.
In 2023, Panoro updated and modernised the TPS Golden Rules in alignment with IOGP guidelines, tailoring them to be specifically applicable to TPS operations. The revised rules were rolled out across all offices and field sites, ensuring universal adoption. Additionally, these rules were integrated into all contract documents to reinforce adherence.
The finalised and approved versions were printed and distributed in three languages— English, French, and Arabic.
In addition, Panoro introduced a TPS procedure aimed at guiding and supporting Management Walkarounds that outline strategies for engaging with field personnel and highlights key aspects to observe during site visits.
In the pursuit of fostering a robust safety culture, Panoro triggered an HSSE enrichment campaign focusing on safety culture improvements. Key components include the update of Life Saving Rules, the launch of the HSSE Leaders Campaign, modernisation of STOP Cards, and a comprehensive review and update of HSSE procedures.
The campaign encompasses the refinement of the HSSE Risk Assessment Matrix and the development of detailed risk registers for all sites and activities. Panoro has prioritised efficient incident reporting and performance monitoring, with a focus on continual improvement in safety protocols.
Panoro has achieved milestones, including the commencement of an H2S gap analysis, updating TPS HSSE Procedures and providing targeted training to Workover crews. The company is poised for a full roll-out of the 'HSSE: For Life' campaign in the coming year, reaffirming its dedication to safety and environmental responsibility.
Underpinning this initiative is our belief that fostering a safety culture requires persistent efforts. Panoro is pleased to report that in 2023, the shift in HSSE culture improved notably, we believe this improvement in safety culture is set to positively impact both uptime and efficiency across Panoro's operations.
Proactive management of stress fatigue and heat stress
Utilising the TPS risk assessment procedure, a detailed health risk assessment (HRA) was conducted to identify employees most susceptible to fatigue, stress, heat stress, and mental health issues.
The HRA was successfully completed, incorporating input from the Company Doctor. Subsequently, TPS procedures on stress, fatigue, heat stress, and mental health management was developed and rolled out, with an ongoing awareness campaign across all levels of TPS, including contractors.
To ensure proactive and reactive control measures are effective, they are integrated into the HRA, with monitoring tools set to be included in 2024.
Additionally, an annual auditing and inspection programme is being developed to keep stress, fatigue, heat stress, and mental health on the TPS radar, with implementation scheduled for the 2024 audit programme.
We were deeply saddened by an accident that occurred in November 2023 on a neighbouring production facility, not part of the TPS asset. The ground collapsed during pipeline welding operations by a Sfax-based welding contractor, who is separately contracted to TPS. The accident resulted in one fatality. Learnings taken from this event have been communicated widely in TPS and across the Panoro business.The contractor is being monitored and supervised accordingly.
We carefully plan our operations and seek to identify potential hazards and have rigorous operating and maintenance practices to manage risks at every stage of the asset lifecycle. Given the mid-life nature of the TPS assets, the corrosive nature of the production fluids and their location close to inhabited areas onshore and a sensitive environment offshore, asset integrity remains a key priority.
It is necessary to continuously monitor the condition of all existing equipment and quality of the asset management processes, to this end, TPS is working to consolidate structural, pipeline and well integrity systems into a single, over-arching asset integrity management system. At our shallow water operations, an area also used for local commercial fishing, we proactively ensure the integrity of pipelines.
In 2023 we continued our pipeline and flowline intelligent pigging programme, an exercise designed to verify that the production system is being managed effectively to prevent any leaks. During 2023 the Well Integrity Management System was completed and will be rolled out across the asset during 2024.
There is now a concerted effort to improve the integrity of the asset and update work practices at site level with the aim to prevent any accidental leaks and improve the overall safety performance.
Panoro's Emergency Response standard is rooted in the widely recognised Incident Command System, tailored to address command, control, and coordination matters in preparation for emergency scenarios. Our top priority in any emergency is to assist those affected, minimise environmental damage, and undertake activities such as oil clean-up and wildlife protection.
TPS has an Emergency Response facility and protocols, covering all their operating sites and the central office, this is linked to the Panoro Emergency Response support provided by the Tunis office and the London Corporate office. The emergency response teams will undergo regular testing and exercises throughout 2024, with lessons learned informing updates to response plans.
In September 2023, TPS, in collaboration with the Mediterranean Oil Industry Group (MOIG), orchestrated the Cercina Tier-1 Oil Spill Response Exercise in Kerkennah Island, Tunisia, aiming to evaluate and enhance oil spill response capabilities. The exercise focused on notification procedures, coordination of response actions, containment, recovery, and safety monitoring. Participants from TPS, ETAP, Panoro and wider stakeholders collaborated to achieve these objectives.
To oversee the management of the exercise, an Exercise Steering Committee (ESC) was formed consisting of representatives from TPS and the MOIG. There were seven ESC meetings prior to the exercise to define and discuss the scale, scenario and management roles.
The chosen scenario simulated a crude oil leakage in the flow line from CER-1 well to the storage tank, resulting in an estimated eightbarrel spill. The response involved deploying a 100-meter fence boom, weir skimmer, and sea vessels to support the Emergency Response Team in deploying equipment.
According to the MOIG, the evaluation revealed areas ranging from good to excellent with objectives achieved above expectations. The exercise was recommended as a reference for future exercises.
The exercise demonstrated effective collaboration and response coordination.
The positive feedback and recommendations underscore the professionalism demonstrated by the Management Response Teams, confirming their preparedness and adherence to safety standards in managing potential oil spills.

In 2023, TPS executed a comprehensive initiative to enhance safety on the Cercina platform, completing a Fire & Gas Detection Gap Analysis, engaging with Engineering Management & Contracting, and conducting fire loop tests.
The initiative paved the way for further improvements, including a detailed analysis of the current fire-fighting system and identification of enhancements across all platforms.
Following a site visit, a risk assessment was conducted, resulting in a mitigation plan with ten improvement points. Concepts were explored based on reliability, maintenance, operational considerations, and cost.
The mitigation plan includes installing a firefighting system, a fire and gas detection system, revamping fusible plugs, a new emergency shutdown system, protective systems for power generators, pressurisation, automatic fire suppression for control and electric rooms, and blast-resistant structures.

Panoro's comprehensive environmental management system reflects our commitment to sustainability. Our integrated approach encompasses key components to ensure environmental responsibility and continual improvement.
Firstly, we prioritise the cultivation of a strong environmental management culture within the company. Our senior management team plays a pivotal role in overseeing and enhancing the company's environmental performance.
In line with our dedication to ethical and responsible business conduct, Panoro pledges to comply with all applicable national and international laws, regulations, and standards governing environmental practices and we recognise the importance of a legal framework to guide our actions.
To ensure our workforce has the skills necessary to safely conduct their role, we prioritise employee and contractor training. Ensuring that our staff and partners are wellinformed and aware of their environmental responsibilities is fundamental to our strategy. By fostering awareness and understanding, we aim to create a collective force for positive environmental impact.
Robust emergency response plans form a key part of our management system framework with regular tests to minimise potential environmental impacts in the event of accidental releases. Furthermore, we actively encourage our business partners and contractors to adopt similar measures, ensuring a shared responsibility for environmental stewardship.
Panoro has in place a stringent incident investigation and reporting standard in the event of environmental accidents or near misses. Thorough investigations are undertaken, and efficient corrective actions are implemented promptly to prevent a recurrence. This approach reflects our proactive stance towards addressing environmental challenges.
Ensuring that our contractors comply with our established environmental standards is a key aspect of our environmental management system. We believe in fostering a collective commitment to sustainable practices across our entire ecosystem of collaborators. In addition, Panoro actively engages with business partners to promote and uphold high standards of environmental management.
To maintain accountability and track our progress, we conduct annual environmental performance audits. These audits provide a structured evaluation of our environmental initiatives, ensuring that we meet and exceed our established environmental goals.
Our incident investigation standard aims to ensure safety, minimise environmental damage, and inform senior management promptly. Incidents are classified based on severity, aligned with the EWRM Standard covering public, financial, production assets, environmental, health and safety, and security consequences.
High-potential incidents trigger reporting to senior management within 24 hours, prompting independent investigations and proposing corrective actions. All recordable incidents adhere to IOGP Standards, with monthly HSSE reports providing insights and safety statistics benchmarked against industry standards.
In waste management, Panoro had over 3,000 tonnes of waste that ended up in landfills in 2023, primarily due to the cleanup of a legacy oil storage tank contaminated with organic chloride. This incident, dating back to late 2018, occurred around the time Panoro acquired its interest in the asset and significant steps towards improving waste management practices has since been taken.
Panoro has implemented a robust hazardous material management system, which was subject to an audit in 2023. The findings of the audit revealed that the company has effective systems in place for managing both hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams.
Looking ahead to 2024, Panoro is focusing on its drilling programme and continuing efforts to improve waste management practices. The company is also taking steps to organise its sites with recycling stations to ensure waste is directed to the appropriate streams.
In 2023, the Performance Enhancement Plan that was established in November 2022 continued its focus on enhancing operational safety and environmental performance at TPS. The 18-month plan addresses identified areas for improvement through realistic 'mini' projects.
Health, safety, security, and environmental priorities include regular leadership meetings, site inspections, and a robust audit programme. New initiatives for 2024 involve formalising a hazardous material management system, refreshing emergency response exercises, improving emissions monitoring accuracy and rolling out the well integrity management system.
Project champions across the asset are actively driving the plan forward.
In 2023, Panoro initiated projects to reduce emissions stemming from surplus gas flaring at three TPS locations: the Cercina Platform, Tank Battery, and Guebiba Station. Flaring is essential for process safety within oil and gas platforms and process plants, however, it results in emissions and resource wastage.
Our proposed initiatives aim to minimise operational flaring while utilising surplus gas for electricity generation. Feasibility studies indicate that approximately 80 to 85% of the flared gas can be repurposed for electricity production.
These projects involve installing mini turbines at Guebiba Station and Tank Battery, along with modifications at the Cercina Offshore Platform to reinject surplus gas into the production stream.
The implementation timeline spans from 2024 to 2027, with estimated costs totalling \$8.2million over the four-year period. By efficiently utilising gas resources for electricity generation, we aim to substantially reduce operational expenditure, mitigate future CO2 taxation implications, and decrease emissions intensity while lessening reliance on the national grid. Additionally, potential surplus electricity export opportunities may arise.
As stated in our Safety and Sustainability Policy, we are committed to minimising the loss of natural habitat and protecting biodiversity, ecosystems, flora and fauna, water sources and water quality where we operate. This commitment includes strict compliance with relevant legislation and avoiding operations in ecologically sensitive areas. Responsibility for biodiversity rests with Panoro's Board-level Sustainability Committee.
We protect biodiversity, ecosystems, and water sources across our operational areas, encouraging our business partners to adopt similar practices. Our dedication extends to preparing and implementation of action plans to protect local ecosystems, thorough Environmental Impact Assessments and specific biodiversity assessments.
In 2023, we completed offshore pipeline replacement work, highlighting our commitment to prioritising environmental integrity. Our biodiversity protection plan received approval from the ANPE and discussions are underway to shape the future management plans and key performance indicators, ensuring that our environmental efforts are in line with our longterm sustainability goals.
allocated annually by Panoro to a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme
In collaboration with the Governorate, Panoro allocated \$248,027 in 2023 to a CSR programme. The initiative focuses on financing projects that positively impact the local community. Our Agreement with the Governorate includes a quarterly evaluation of the programme's effectiveness.
In 2023, Panoro addressed a popular local concern by allocating CSR funds to remove waste from a vast area near the Tank Battery Site.
The diverse waste poses risks to both the environment and human health. Through the CSR initiative, Panoro efficiently disposed of the waste and restored the area to a safe and clean condition.
As part of its CSR commitment, Panoro invested in the photovoltaic illumination of Guebiba Village. The initiative benefits the local community by providing illumination to sensitive road areas and received positive feedback from the local community.
The solar-powered illumination enhances safety for third-party road users, as well as TPS employees, and ultimately fosters improved

Equatorial Guinea
Oil and gas exports have been central to Equatorial Guinea's growth and are expected to continue driving the economy going forward as it diversifies along the oil and gas value chain.
In February 2023, Panoro achieved a significant milestone by securing a 56% interest and operatorship of Block EG-01, situated in water depths ranging from 30 to 500 meters.
With an initial three-year period, Panoro and its partners will leverage existing seismic data to conduct in-depth subsurface studies, evaluating the block's prospects.
Following this phase, a potential two-year extension allows for the drilling of one exploration well. Previous exploration activities have affirmed key geological elements, identifying an extensive prospect inventory within tie-back distance to Ceiba Field and Okume Complex facilities.
The main hydrocarbon plays include Eocene sands and Upper Cretaceous turbidites, with the potential for deeper Albian targets similar to the Block S prospect scheduled for drilling in 2024.

Our assets in Equatorial Guinea are not able to rely on existing networks to utilise gas; therefore, flaring in Equatorial Guinea is a major contributor to our GHG emissions footprint. To tackle this, Trident is looking to sanction an ambitious capital programme to eliminate routine flaring to only that which is required for safe operations.
The project involves the improvement of the existing gas network and new facilities for injecting the produced gas into the reservoir for future use. If sanctioned, this project will reduce absolute emissions associated with flaring by up to 85% by 2030.
Trident demonstrated a proactive commitment to risk management and compliance throughout the year. The successful acquisition of all outstanding HSE licenses ensures that the company remains in adherence to regulatory requirements.
Additionally, the implementation of a new risk management standard and the integration of Job Safety Analysis processes across assets underscore their dedication to enhancing hazard identification and risk assessment methodologies.
The completion of Trident's comprehensive Restrata Emergency Response training for offshore assets and the subsequent OSRL inspection reflect Trident's dedication to maintaining effective response capabilities in the face of major incidents.
In 2023, major Emergency Response Plans were revised and approved further exemplifying Trident's proactive approach to emergency preparedness.

Gabon is a mature oil producer in West Africa that derives a significant amount of its revenue from crude oil production.
In recent years, Gabon has positioned itself as a climate champion, prioritising a green economy strategy involving agriculture, mining, sustainable fishery, timber resources, clean energy, and ecotourism.
Notably, Gabon stands out as the first African country to receive payment from the UNhosted Central African Forest Initiative for its commitment to forest protection and emission reduction. Nevertheless, challenges persist, with one in three young Gabonese experiencing unemployment and two-thirds of job vacancies remaining unfilled.
The landscape in Gabon witnessed a significant transformation in late August 2023, marked by a military coup leading to a reorganisation of the government. This development, while posing challenges, has been handled with a focus on maintaining stability and ensuring a peaceful transition.
Looking ahead, Gabon is gearing up for constitutional changes, with a referendum scheduled for April 2024. In the interim, transitional institutions were established with the government actively communicating to provide clarity and maintain continuity. In response to these political developments,
industry leaders convened promptly, outlining their commitment to business continuity. The meeting, held just two days after the coup, aimed at ensuring seamless operations and reorganising the country's systems in alignment with the evolving political landscape.
The Minister of Petroleum's attendance at the October Energy Week in Cape Town signals a proactive effort to attract major investors, particularly in the oil and gas industry.
In navigating these political changes, Panoro remains committed to continued collaboration within Gabon to contribute positively to its economic and social development.
BW Energy is dedicated to conducting business with integrity and a focus on sustainable and responsible operations, guided by principles of good corporate governance.

Where necessary, Panoro will seek additional information to satisfy itself that third parties operate under and perform to similar ethical standards. Panoro requires that all business associates comply with laws and high ethical standards. Any violation by a business associate has the potential to negatively impact Panoro.
Prior to engaging in a new relationship with an intermediary or a contractor who may carry out services on behalf of Panoro, we carry out due diligence on whether there is any indication of unlawful and/or unethical business conduct.
Red flags, as well as any other findings that may cause concern are brought to the immediate attention of the CEO and the manager of the relevant area. We keep a written record of all information obtained and received through due diligence carried out on potential partners, contractors and business associates subject to the relevant laws and regulations on data protection.
Our corporate conduct is based on our commitment to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity. Panoro does not tolerate any form of bribery and corruption.
As stated in our Anti-Bribery, Corruption and Business Associates Policy, we require that Panoro and its business associates comply with applicable laws and high ethical standards. The Policy must be complied with at all times by all employees, contractors, trainees, seconded staff, home workers, casual workers, agency staff, volunteers, interns, sponsors, or any other person or persons associated with us, or any acting for or through Panoro anywhere in the world.
Corruption, including bribery, trading in influence and facilitation payments, is strictly prohibited by Panoro. Pursuant to the UK Bribery Act 2010, Panoro also has a legal obligation to put in place adequate procedures to prevent bribery. Panoro is committed to acting professionally, fairly, and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships, wherever in the country we operate.
As a Norwegian company, Panoro Energy ASA and its Norwegian subsidiaries are subject to anti-corruption provisions set out in the Norwegian Criminal Code, both when doing business in Norway and abroad.
The Panoro London office as well as the Tunis office and any other Norwegian subsidiaries will be subject to the UK Bribery Act 2010, to the extent their activities are controlled or managed by the London office.
Panoro is also subject to the anti-corruption laws of other jurisdictions, including in countries where Panoro is doing business.
As an international Company, we have a responsibility to uphold and protect the rights of individuals in all aspects of our operations across the world. We also recognise the opportunity we have to contribute positively to global efforts to ensure that human rights are understood and observed.
Panoro is committed to observing the UN Guiding Principles on Human Rights.
The company will comply with the following principles:
Respect and promote internationally recognised human rights standards throughout the company;
Respect the rights and dignity of every employee and contractor and promote equal opportunities to ensure nobody is discriminated against due to race, sexuality and/or religion;
Maintain zero tolerance of all forms of modern slavery, child labour and any form of human trafficking;
Provide human rights training to our employees and promote awareness of human rights with our stakeholders;
Respect the rights of indigenous people and seek their free and informed consent; Protect and support cultural heritage.
In 2022, the Norwegian Transparency Act was passed into law. The Act requires all companies to respect fundamental human rights and provide decent working conditions and ensure freedom of access to information regarding how enterprises address adverse impacts on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions.
Panoro is subject to this Act and has a duty to carry out human rights risk assessments of its own business directly and for that of its supply chain and business partners.
Where the company identifies higher risk aspects of the business, it must take proportionate measures to mitigate these risks. The company must be prepared to respond to potential information requests from the public covering actions taken in response to the Act's requirements.
Consequently, Panoro conducted a human rights risk assessment capturing employee practices, supply chain management, customer practices and people in the community and environment.
Specifically, we are focussed on working conditions, freedom of association, and labour practices that involve forced and child labour within our supply chain. More widely we seek to prevent environmental and community impacts that may impinge on the human rights of those that come into contact with our operations or those of our partners.
Panoro took a proportionate risk-based process to ensure compliance with the Act and it sought to identify significant risks in the business through conducting due diligence assessments. Having identified higher-risk elements, proportionate measures to mitigate these risks are being undertaken, including revising policies & procedures, conducting background checks and updating supplier contract clauses.
To date, we have completed a first-pass risk assessment including a full review of our companywide EWRM which now embeds human rights considerations and we have activated business partner engagement for supply chain risk assessment.
TPS requires all suppliers to make a commitment to uphold human rights and decent working conditions. Vendors commit to adhere to the core labour standards and related conventions published from time to time by the International Labour Organisation.
Panoro fully abides by the provisions of the UK 2015 Modern Slavery Act. In accordance with its Code of Conduct, Panoro opposes the crime of slavery in all of its forms, including child labour, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking.
Panoro's corporate governance is based on the recommendations of the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance.
The main objective for the company's Corporate Governance is to develop a strong, sustainable, competitive and successful Exploration and Production company acting in the best interest of all stakeholders, within the laws and regulations of the respective countries in which it operates. The Board and management aim for a controlled and profitable development and longterm creation of growth through well-founded governance principles and risk management.
The Panoro Board comprises experienced oil and gas professionals with extensive operational and non-executive expertise. This ensures strict adherence to established oil and gas industry practices. Members of the Board are elected for a maximum period of two years.

Panoro Energy Sustainability Report 2023 Sustainable foundations, a resilient future


Energy is a key driver of sustainable development, without which most of the other SDGs cannot be achieved. At the very core of our business, we aim to ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services through improving energy efficiencies within our operations.

Sustainable development necessitates job creation and inclusive economic growth. In 2023, Tunisia's unemployment rate increased to 16.4% with an anticipated decline to 9% in Equatorial Guinea and a projected increase to 22% in Gabon. Although we play a modest role within a broader context, we consistently prioritise local recruitment when feasible.

Through continuous improvement and technological upgrades, we are working to achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources for example through a reduction in routine gas flaring.

It is necessary to balance the requirements of water throughout the oil and gas value chain with local water needs, particularly in waterscarce locations. In 2023, at TPS, we utilised an estimated 4,440 cubic meters of freshwater and reinjected all produced water so no associated hydrocarbons are released to the environment. No freshwater is used within the production process.

Our Management System Framework outlines the principal components of how we govern and manage sustainability within our operations and the countries where we are active.

The data presented in the following table is prepared following the SASB Sustainability Accounting Standard.
Where advised, reference is also made to: the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (2014), The Greenhouse Gas Protocol, A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard; the IPIECA/ API/OGP Petroleum Industry Guidelines for Reporting Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Fourth Edition, 2020; and API's Compendium of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Methodologies for the Natural Gas and Oil Industry 2021.
Where direct measurements are not available, emissions are estimated using the approaches set out in the API Compendium.
We have spent the past couple of years establishing data gathering processes within TPS sufficient to populate the following table. This work culminated in Panoro led audits in November 2022 and January 2024 which has better established data quality and areas for improvement.
Last year we reported that the quality of metering and compositional analysis of produced fluids needed to be enhanced, Page 30 provides details on the status of metering upgrades at TPS to improve on the accuracy of this particular data.
