Seacrest Petroleo Bermuda Limited: José Cotello joins as Chief Executive Officer

Seacrest Petroleo Bermuda Limited: José Cotello joins as Chief Executive Officer

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil/Hamilton, Bermuda, 21 May 2024: The Board of Directors

of Seacrest Petroleo Bermuda Limited ("Seacrest Petroleo" or the "Company")

has appointed José Cotello as the Company's new Chief Executive Officer. He

will be joining the Company on 1 June 2024.

José has a long track record of operating success in the oil and gas sector.

He was most recently the President of Ecopetrol Oleo e Gas do Brasil, where he

was responsible for overseeing the company's operations in the Brazilian

pre-salt basin and equatorial margin. Within Ecopetrol, he previously held the

position of Regional Vice President at Orinoquia, in Colombia, where he was

responsible for an operation that materially raised onshore oil production to

290 kboepd.

Prior to joining Ecopetrol, José was the Chief Operating Officer at Petra

Energia, which grew production from zero to 20 kboepd during his tenure, and,

before that, held various positions around the world in a 22-year career at

Schlumberger.

José Cotello said: "We are in the middle of an exciting time as our company

grows, and these are circumstances I am familiar with. I will work to achieve

profit and a business structure that enables sustainable growth via bold

shifting and reinforcement of management support. We at Seacrest are a strong

and diverse team of professionals with a shared purpose of creating value for

our shareholders."

Chairman Erik Tiller said: "We are delighted to have José join us as CEO. He

is a proven oil and gas operator and brings with him the exact combination of

skills and experience that Seacrest Petroleo needs at this stage of its

growth. The Company is aiming to more than triple production by 2027 through

the largest onshore drilling program in Brazil, and José's track record leaves

us with no doubt that we can achieve this goal profitably."
