Alvopetro Announces September Sales Volumes and an Operational Update

CALGARY, AB, Oct. 5, 2026 /CNW/ -- Alvopetro Energy Ltd. (TSXV: ALV) (OTCQX: ALVOF) announces September sales volumes of 2,627 boepd (based on field estimates). In Brazil, September sales averaged 2,508 boepd, including natural gas sales of 14.1 MMcfpd and associated natural gas liquids sales from condensate of 162 bopd. In September, we completed the planned upgrade of our gas processing facility (UPGN-Caburé). This required a 5-day planned shutdown of all Brazil production, which impacted September sales volumes. The upgrade was successfully completed and production in Brazil has returned to previous levels. Canadian production averaged 135 bopd, with sales of 119 bopd, marginally lower than prior months as a result of oil in tanks at the end of the quarter.

President & CEO, Corey C. Ruttan commented:

"We have had very strong production results in the first nine months of the year and we have an active capital program in the fourth quarter. In Brazil, we are on track with our 2026 facility projects with the upgrade of our gas processing facility now complete and our Murucututu field level expansions all underway. In the next 30 days, we expect to finish the completion of our 183-H2 well and the drilling of the 183-G2 well. In Canada, we are drilling two more wells on our original joint venture lands this month and later this quarter we plan to drill the five earning wells on our more recently announced joint venture. We are looking forward to an exciting quarter in Brazil and Canada to finish off the year."

Operational Update 

Murucututu (100% Alvopetro)

The 183-H2 well was drilled to a total measured depth ("MD") of 3,176.5 metres. Based on open-hole logs, the well encountered potential net natural gas pay in the Caruaçu Member of the Maracangalha Formation, totaling 44.4 metres total vertical depth ("TVD") of potential natural gas pay, with average porosity of 9.6% and average water saturation of 32.8%, using a 6% porosity cut-off, 50% Vshale cut-off and 50% water saturation cutoff.  We are currently completing the well and expect to bring it on production later this month.

We are also currently drilling our 183-G2 well, which is the first Caruaçu development well drilled from our newly constructed 183-G well pad. We have finished the first phase of the well and are now drilling the intermediate hole section. Drilling is expected to be finished later in October. 

We have now completed the planned upgrade of our UPGN-Caburé gas processing facility. This upgrade gives us increased flexibility to process up to 50% of plant throughput with Murucututu natural gas. We're also targeting a fourfold increase in Murucututu field takeaway capacity by expanding field processing facilities and pipelines. We anticipate completion of these projects by early 2027.

Canada

Our original partner is currently drilling the first of two planned multi-lateral wells in Saskatchewan. Alvopetro's working interest is 50% in one well and 30% in the other well. Both wells will then be completed and equipped and are expected to be on production this quarter. Alvopetro's estimated share of the cost of these two wells is C$1.6 million.

On our new joint venture announced earlier this quarter, we are expecting to commence drilling the first of the five earning wells in early November, targeting completion of all wells by the end of the year. Alvopetro is responsible for 100% of the costs of the five earning wells, estimated at C$8.5 million.

BOE Disclosure

The term barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6 Mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in this news release are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.

Well Results

Data obtained from the 183-H2 well identified in this press release, including open-hole logging data, potential net pay and porosity should be considered preliminary until testing, detailed analysis and interpretation has been completed. There is no representation by Alvopetro that the data relating to the 183-H2 well contained in this press release is necessarily indicative of long-term performance or ultimate recovery. The reader is cautioned not to unduly rely on such data as such data may not be indicative of future performance of the well or of expected production or operational results for Alvopetro in the future.
