Summary of Thailand Reserves at
Thailand crude oil reserves and values atDecember 31, 2021 of POS (representing the 100% working interest of POS in Concession L53/48):- Proved oil reserves ("1P") of 3,079,000 barrels at
December 31, 2021 , a 9% increase from the 2,836,000 barrels atDecember 31, 2020 . - Proved plus probable oil reserves ("2P") decreased 3% to 4,625,000 barrels at
December 31, 2021 compared with proved plus probable oil reserves of 4,753,000 barrels atDecember 31, 2020 . The decrease in 2021 reflects the following changes during 2021: - Oil sales increased 15% in 2021 to 1,018,286 barrels (2,790 BOPD), with 874,060 barrels (2,395 BOPD) from the L53DD field, 53,847 barrels (148 BOPD) from the L53G field, 32,649 barrels (89 BOPD) from the L53A field, 32,557 barrels (89 BOPD) from the L53D field, 15,730 barrels (43 BOPD) from the L53B field, 5,625 barrels (15 BOPD) from the L53AA field and 3,818 barrels (10 BOPD) from the L53AA South field.
- Proved plus probable reserves increased 890,000 barrels at
December 31, 2021 (19% ofDecember 31, 2020 proved plus probable reserves) from positive technical revisions of 821,000 barrels, 59,000 barrels for economic factors and 10,000 barrels for extension of fields. - The L53DD field had 874,060 barrels of oil sales in 2021 compared with 734,006 barrels in 2020. The L53DD field at
December 31, 2021 has been assigned proved plus probable reserves of 3,345,000 barrels, including a positive technical revision (inclusive of economic factors) of proved plus probable reserves in 2021 of 751,000 barrels relating to revised geological mapping and well performance. This compared with 3,468,000 barrels atDecember 31, 2020 . - Net present value (after tax) of
Thailand proved plus probable oil reserves atDecember 31, 2021 , using forecast prices and costs discounted at 10% per year, ofCdn$108.2 million . The 39% increase in the net present value (after tax) ofThailand proved plus probable oil reserves from$77.8 million atDecember 31, 2020 is the result of the 31% increase average oil sales prices more than offsetting the 3% decrease in proved plus probable reserves. The average oil sales price increased to$88.64 per barrel in theDecember 31, 2021 reserves report compared with$67.82 in theDecember 31, 2020 reserves report. - Possible oil reserves have been reported for the last four years to better define the potential upside of the L53DD field discovered in 2018. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.
Possible oil reserves atDecember 31, 2021 are 1,346,000 barrels and decreased 745,000 barrels from the prior year as possible reserves were moved into proved and probable reserves. Total proved plus probable plus possible oil reserves ("3P") are 5,971,000 barrels atDecember 31, 2021 with a net present value (after tax) using forecast prices and costs discounted at 10% per year, ofCdn$131.4 million . - Thailand Concession L53/48 reserves are from conventional sandstone reservoirs.

This news release contains forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is generally identifiable by the terminology used, such as "expect", "believe", "estimate", "should", "anticipate" and "potential" or other similar wording. Forward-looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, references to: estimates of reserves and the net present value of those reserves, anticipated future production performance, estimates of future crude oil reference prices and the percentage of those prices received by Pan Orient, and estimates of development costs, foreign exchange rates, inflation rates, taxes and well abandonment and disconnect costs. By their very nature, the forward-looking statements contained in this news release require Pan Orient and its management to make assumptions that may not materialize or that may not be accurate. The forward-looking information contained in this news release is subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results, expectations, achievements or performance to differ materially, including without limitation: imprecision of reserves estimates and estimates of recoverable quantities of oil, changes in project schedules, operating and reservoir performance, the effects of weather and climate change, the results of exploration and development drilling and related activities, demand for oil and gas, commercial negotiations, other technical and economic factors or revisions and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Pan Orient. Although Pan Orient believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurances that the expectations of any forward-looking statements will prove to be correct.
