OPERATIONS

Production

Republic of Congo – PNGF Sud

PetroNor E&P ASA (PetroNor or the "Company") has three production licence agreements (Tchibouela II, Tchendo II, and Tchibeli-Litanzi II), which cover six oil fields located in 80-100 meter water depths approximately 25 km off the coast of Pointe-Noire. The complex oil field was discovered in 1979, commenced production in 1987, and is called PNGF Sud.

The PNGF Sud fields are developed with eleven wellhead platforms and currently produce from 70 active production wells, with oil exported via the onshore Djeno terminal.

The next phase of the infill drilling programme started in June on the Tchibouela East field with the drilling rig, Axima. Five wells are planned for this programme. They have been prioritised over the previously announced Tchendo wells based on anticipated productivity and are expected to provide a significant contribution to the PNGF Sud production in H2 2025.

Gross production for Q2 2025 was 2.3 MMbbls (Q2 2024: 2.5 MMbbls), corresponding to 0.39 MMbbls (Q2 2024: 0.43 MMbbls) net to the Company.

Production efficiency is a measure of the actual production relative to the production capacity of the field without losses due to field or well shut-ins or losses from pending well workovers.

Production efficiency during the second quarter averaged 90 per cent representing a significant increase from 81 per cent in Q2 2024. As there were only a few field shutdowns, production efficiencies were mainly affected by the workover queue. Currently, there are two workover crews working to restore inactive wells to production.

In February 2025, PetroNor prepared an in-house estimate for PNGF Sud, which was audited by Three60 Energy Norway AS whereby the reserves were calculated as at 31 December 2024. The numbers represent a reserve replacement ratio of 93 per cent of the 2024 production. Additional infill opportunities in Tchibouela East represent most of the additional reserves.

Audited Statement of Reserves as at 31 December 2024:

Participation Interest 16.83%
1P reserves 12.00 MMboe
2P reserves 16.98 MMboe

Development

Nigeria – OML 113 / The Aje field

PetroNor is working with the OML 113 operator, Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum ("YFP"), through the jointly owned company, Aje Production AS, which holds a project economic and joint operating agreement (JOA) voting interest of 39 per cent. Aje Production AS will lead the technical and management efforts in the next phase of the Aje field development, from which PetroNor will hold an indirect 20.2 per cent interest.

The previously announced acquisition of 32.1 per cent additional interests in the OML 113 licence through a binding agreement with New Age (African Global Energy) Limited ("New Age") has been approved by the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC). Only minor formalities remain for the completion of the transaction with New Age.

This acquisition strengthens the Company's position by adding 32.1 per cent economic and voting interest in OML 113, which will reinforce the Company's active involvement and influence in the licence partnership to plan for the redevelopment of the Aje field.

Following completion of the transaction with New Age, PetroNor will have a project economic and JOA voting interest of 52.2 per cent in OML 113.

The partnership has completed the previously announced confirmatory seismic reprocessing and are working towards a Concept Select and Field Development Plan. Land has been acquired on the coast at the proposed landing site of a gas pipeline from the field. The onshore and offshore Environmental Impact and Social Assessment study work announced earlier has been completed.

Based on reprocessed seismic and other G&G studies performed in 2024-2025, detailed subsurface static and dynamic models are underway.

Exploration

The Gambia - A4

PetroNor is continuing to seek partners in order to enter into a drilling commitment for an exploration well on the A4 block after 15 November 2025, with a further 18 months to drill. This highly prospective block contains multiple low risk commercial-size prospects and lies 30 km South of the Senegal "Sangomar" field (Woodside).

Health, safety and environment (HSE)

The safety and security of our and our operators' staff and contractors is our highest priority. The Company's objective for health, environment, safety, and quality (HSEQ) is zero accidents and incidents in all activities. The oil and gas assets located in West Africa imply frequent travel, and the Company seeks to ensure adequate safety levels for employees travelling. PetroNor experienced no accidents, injuries, incidents or any environmental claims during the quarter period.

The Group's operations have been conducted by the operators on behalf of the licence partners, and the operator of PNGF Sud is reporting regularly on all key HSE indicators. No restricted work cases (RWC) and no medical treatment cases (MTC) were reported in the period of January to June 2025. There have been no significant known breaches of the Company's exploration licenses conditions or any environmental regulations to which it is subject. Time lost due to employee illness or accidents was negligible. Employee safety is of the highest priority, and the Company is continuously working towards identifying and employing administrative and technical solutions, that ensure a safe and efficient workplace.

Financial performance and activities

Just before the 2024 year-end, the Company had a significant sales overlift of entitlement oil from the Djeno terminal. In effect selling approximately 490 Kbbls of the expected oil entitlement from 2025 production in advance at USD 72.8 per bbl. As detailed above, the stable production from PNGF Sud has been replenishing the oil stock position at the terminal. However as at 30 June 2025, the Company is still in an overlift position with a liability of USD 2.3 million on the balance sheet, representing those advanced oil sales, down from USD 35.8 million as at 31 December 2024.

The timing impact of that overlift in 2024, has meant record oil sales were recognised in 2024, but consequently no oil was lifted and sold during H1 2025. Therefore, the revenue for the first half of USD 27.6 million only reflects the gross up of royalties and tax oil that was paid in-kind out of oil production to the Congolese authorities. There is thus a decrease of USD 82.9 million in revenue as compared to H1 2024. H1 2024 included oil sales liftings of 914 Kbbls, generating revenue of USD 75.8 million as part of total revenue of USD 110.4 million.

It is recommended that the oil production figures rather than revenue are considered as a key measure of performance on a quarterly basis. As revenue may fluctuate quarter by quarter due to the timing of oil sales liftings.

Cash received in January from the record sales last year supplied PetroNor with a boost of cash, which has been offset by a return of capital to shareholders realising the updated dividend policy presented at the annual general meeting ("AGM") in May 2024. The return of capital was paid in two instalments; firstly NOK 2.0 per share in consideration of the net profits from 2023 and earlier years. Secondly, NOK 2.2 per share in consideration for profits in 2024. This resulted in an equity decrease of USD 55.8 million. Additionally, a dividend paid to the non-controlling interest has offset a cash flow inward by USD 7.9 million. The current cash position as of the end of H1 is USD 60.6 million (end 2024 cash was USD 79.7 million).

Trade and other current payables have increased by USD 4.9 million, with accrued costs increasing in PNGF Sud as the operator progresses the planned 2025 infill drilling programme.

USD 5.7 million is held as a current asset representing the advance payments to New Age for their interest in OML 113.

PetroNor realised a profit for the half-year period of USD 6.7 million (H1 2024: USD 16.9 million) due to the decrease in oil sales revenue. The reduction in the cost of sales is driven by the release of the overlift position accounting for USD 45.6 million of the USD 53.7 million reduction.

Administrative expenses of USD 5.4 million have reduced by USD 2.5 million from H1 2024 (USD 7.9 million) as employee expenses decreased following a restructuring in 2024. Legal and professional expenses have reduced in H1, delivering a lower spend of USD 1.9 million, comparative to H1 2024 (USD 2.7 million). This is following the closure of the US Department of Justice (DOJ) inquiry earlier in the year.

The Board confirms that the interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the going concern assumption, and that this assumption was realistic at the balance sheet date. The going concern assumption is based upon the financial position of the Group and the development plans currently in place.

CORPORATE

Principal risks

The Group participates in oil and gas projects in countries in West Africa with emerging economies, such as Congo Brazzaville, Nigeria and The Gambia.

Oil and gas exploration, development and production activities in such emerging markets are subject to a number of significant political and economic uncertainties as further detailed in the annual report. These may include, but are not limited to, the risk of war, terrorism, expropriation, nationalisation, renegotiation or nullification of existing or future licences and contracts, changes in crude oil or natural gas pricing policies, changes in taxation and fiscal policies, imposition of currency controls and imposition of international sanctions.

Board matters

At the AGM on 21 May 2025, board member, Jarle Norman-Hansen, was re-elected as a board member.

Økokrim investigations

Since publication of the Q1 2025 interim report, the Company is not aware of any new reportable developments on these matters. PetroNor continues to co-operate with Økokrim to assist in their investigations. As previously set out, the timeline for the Økokrim investigation remains uncertain and beyond the Company's control but the Company would expect to get more clarity about the way forward during 2025.

Shareholder repayment of capital

The Company performed a repayment of capital equivalent of NOK 2.2 per share to the shareholders of the Company as of 22 May 2025, equivalent to USD 30 million.

Significant events after reporting date

There are no significant events after the reporting date.

Outlook

During H2 2025, the Company expects the completion of the additional five infill wells on Tchibouela East and an increase in the PNGF Sud production day rate. Operator forecasts indicate that the year-end exit rate for gross production will exceed 30,000 bbl per day (Net to PetroNor ~5,000 bopd).

The Company is working towards execution of an oil sales lifting to take place before the end of the year.

The interim financial statements do not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Company as the full financial report.

It is recommended that the interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for 2024 and considered together with any public announcements made by the Company during the period Q2 2025 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the Oslo Børs. A copy of the annual report is available on the Company's website www.petronorep.com.

Its shares are publicly traded on the Oslo Børs (ticker: PNOR), the main regulated marketplace of the Oslo Stock Exchange, Norway. The principal activities of the Group are the exploration and production of crude oil.

interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, and on the basis of uniform accounting principles for similar transactions and events under otherwise similar circumstances.

The interim financial statements are presented in United States Dollars.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those disclosed in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The preparation of the interim financial statements entails the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the amounts recognised as assets and liabilities, income, and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. The actual results may deviate from these estimates. The material assessments underlying the application of the Company's accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty are the same for the interim financial statements as for the annual report for 2024
