Rio de Janeiro, Brazil/Hamilton, Bermuda, 20th April 2023: Seacrest Petroleo
Bermuda Limited ("Seacrest Petroleo" or the "Company") will publish its
financial report for the first quarter 2023 on Wednesday, 24 May. Today, the
Company provides an update on production and sales volumes and other relevant
items for the period.
Seacrest Petroleo’s net production of oil and natural gas averaged 2,228 boepd
in the first quarter of 2023, up 21% from the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2.7x
higher than production in the first quarter of 2022. The production refers only
to the Company’s 100% owned Cricaré Cluster.
The production split in the first quarter was stable from the previous quarter,
with 92% oil and 8% gas. Total volumes of oil produced in the first quarter were
183 kboe whereas volumes sold in the quarter amounted to 134 kboe. The volumes

the quarter.
