Panoro Energy Announces Significant Oil Discovery Offshore Gabon

Oslo, 6 November 2023 - Panoro Energy ASA ("Panoro" or the "Company") is pleased

to announce that the Hibiscus South well (DHBSM-1) has made a commercial oil

discovery on the Dussafu Marin Permit offshore Gabon (Panoro Energy 17.5 percent

working interest).

Hibiscus South is located approximately five kilometres south-west of the BW

Mabomo production platform from where the well was drilled to a total depth of

6,002 metres by the Borr Norve jack-up drilling rig. Evaluation of well log data

and sample analysis confirms that the well intersected approximately 20 metres

of oil pay in an overall hydrocarbon column of approximately 26.5 metres in the

regionally prolific Gamba formation which is productive at the Tortue and

Hibiscus fields elsewhere on the block. The partners plan to return to the well

to complete it as a production well in early 2024.

Preliminary estimates of recoverable volumes at Hibiscus South are six to seven

million barrels of oil and in line with pre-drill expectations of approximately

16 million barrels of oil in place / seven million barrels recoverable.

John Hamilton, CEO of Panoro, commented:

"The Hibiscus South discovery underscores the substantial organic upside

potential that exists on the Dussafu Marin Permit offshore Gabon and is the

sixth oil discovery to be made on the block under Panoro's participation,

representing an 86 percent success rate in the Gamba reservoir. In line with our

infrastructure led exploration and appraisal strategy we will leverage the

existing production infrastructure nearby to rapidly develop these new high

-margin barrels cost effectively as part of the current campaign."
