Palaeo-Stratigraphic DepositionParaguay is characterized by tectono-stratigraphic complexity associated with Palaeozoic depositionnear an accreting continental margin, followed by Mesozoic rifting and Cenozoic deformation relatedto the Andean Orogeny• Sedimentary sequences of Paraguay were deposited in a complex series of epi- and intracontinental rift basins, subject to
epeiric marine through continental deposition, and overprinted by several accretionary orogenic events
• The Palaeozoic sedimentary sequence, spanning the Ordovician to Carboniferous/Permian, contains marine, glacial and continental facies deposited in foreland basins related to successive regional terrane accretions
• The Mesozoic sedimentary sequence is characterized by predominantly continental deposits, rift tectonics with related magmatism, local marine deposits and fragmentation related to the break-up of Gondwana and the opening of the Atlantic basin
• The uppermost sedimentary sequence represents Cenozoic deposition and was characterized by the Andean Orogeny

Paraguay Exploration HistoryExploration in Paraguay goes back nearly 70 years, but combinations of factors have hindered commercial development to date, leaving potentially huge volumes of hydrocarbons yet to be discoveredHIGHLIGHTS:Paraguay exploration spans 67 years but has involved only 52 wells over entire country in 3basin areas
• 1st well drilled in 1947 & last well by Amerisur in 2016• Large number of wells drilled reported oil and gas shows
• Mendoza #1R (Pure Oil Co., 1959) registered a gas blow-out at 609 m (5 MMCFGD - Carboniferous) and another gas blow-out at 2600 m (25 MMCFGD Emsian/Pragian source/reservoir). This was re-drilled in 1993 as Independencia-1 where gas is now produced at low rate into an E-gen unit.
Over same period, >900 wells were been drilled in NW Argentina and Bolivia, targeting the same formations now definedin Paraguay’s Pirity basin
• Over 73 Tcf gas + 2 Billion barrels of liquids have been produced from 128 fields, flanking NW ParaguayCombination of technical and economic factors have prevented successful commercialization of hydrocarbons inParaguay and small un-sustained exploration efforts:
• Technical:• Poor & undeveloped understanding of regional tectonic concepts necessary to explain and predict stratigraphic complexities resulting in incorrect
geologic modeling & petroleum system assessment• Most resulting historical exploration was single well or small drilling campaigns which did not adequately test play concepts or satisfy high
economic threshold parameters (early elephant hunting) weighted against competing portfolio interests• Poor historic use of technology to properly interpret & analyse exploration results, including acquisition of inadequate seismic and use of poor
drilling & testing equipment
• Economic:• Challenging economic environment during exploration programmes
• During 1971-73, Pennzoil drilled 16 wells in a US$ 2 - US$ 8/bbl oil environment*, with no local gas market, where gas traded at $0.15-0.25/mcf• Lack of export infrastructure to support major discoveries
Paraguayan political environment previously not western-facing and supportive of large foreign corporations* Money of the day. Equates to ~US$13-17 adjusted to 2013 prices. ChartsBin.com

Concessions in 2012 & completed its farmin to Hernandarias upon Concession award in 2014
2013 G&G Studies & Seismic• Regional evaluation, reprocessing & interpretation
of existing well & geophysical data• Global Geophysical Inc acquired 1,662km new 2D
data & 791 km2 new 3D2014 Drilling• Lapacho-1 discovery & Jacaranda-1 wells
(Palaeozoic Prospects)• Proved eastern extension of the Devonian & Silurian
petroleum systems
• Lapacho-1 Encountered oil in the lower Devonian sands and
gas in the Silurian sands.
• Instability of shales meant open hole test which was
terminated prematurely due to mechanical problems, but after
small gas influx was achieved. Poor cement isolation also
prevented a valid test of the oil in the Devonian sands.

Pirity Basin Data
Seismic availability is still limited inthe Pirity Basin, resulting in
• President’s reprocessing of a largeamount of the existing 2D over its keyprospect areas
• Most of the 2D seismic reprocessingactivity has been focused in theNorth Flank, around the Lapacho,Jacaranda and Boqueron area
• Extensive reprocessing has also beenundertaken, with most of thereprocessed lines in PSTM and PSDM
• President commissioned GlobalGeophysical Inc to acquire 1,662km ofnew 2D seismic and 781km2 of 3Ddata in Paraguay acreage between2013-2015

North Flank – Pirity Basin• Fractured Palaeozoic
• Devonian & Silurian Play Targets
• 1 Discovery (Lapacho-X1 well)• 24 m fractured Oil pay in Devonian Icla Sst@ 3,926m (12,880 ft)• 54 m Gas pay in fractured Silurian Sst but early TD’d before full section
penetrated due to hole conditions (Est. additional ~26m pay undrilled).
• Existing FMI data supports fracturing indicated by unstable hole caused by formation break-out.
• Inconclusive Open Hole Test: Achieved short gas inflow with mud before failure due to poor hole conditions & tool plugging by hole junk
• 4 Palaeozoic Prospects & 22 Leads mapped on reprocessed 2D• Primary Lapacho closures + Boqueron prospects = 3.9 Tcf alone • Est. Total 10 Tcf Palaeozoic Resources Potential

DP-2/15 have best reservoir quality but HC pore volume/well lower than other fields as carbonates and some CO2 at crest.
Bypassed oil around DP-15 which was worked over in 2017 and came on at 100 bopd
No depletion but aquifer support and high water cuts (eg DP-10 70% W/C by 1996)
Conclusion: DHM Image identifies bypassed oil but has poor match with original oil water contact due to water encroachment & false negative at crest due to CO2 concentration
