Assets and history
Seacrest Petroleo is an independent oil and gas producer focused on the redevelopment of midlife onshore
producing oil and gas fields. The Company’s assets are onshore in Espírito Santo, Brazil and represent a
cohesive set of attractive producing fields, interconnecting pipelines and an integrated export terminal. The
assets were acquired through the divestment program run by Brazil’s national oil company, Petróleo Brasileiro
S.A. – Petrobras.
The portfolio consists of the Cricaré Cluster and the adjacent
Norte Capixaba Cluster, both owned 100%. The Cricaré Cluster was
acquired in December 2021 and the Norte Capixaba Cluster in
April 2023.
The fields have an estimated 1.2 billion barrels of oil equivalents
(bnboe) in place and certified proven and probable reserves (“2P”
per 2023 reserve report) of 144 million barrels of oil equivalent
(mmboe) as of 31 December 2023. Average daily production in
2023 was 8 324 boepd, which is targeted to increase significantly
in the coming years as a result of the execution of the planned
drilling programme, the largest onshore in Brazil. The Company
has exclusive control over its infrastructure, all the way from field
production to the offshore tanker loading terminal, allowing for
cost-effective operations growth and direct access to markets
for its premium grade products. Approximately 85% of the fields’
planned oil production is of a specification that is priced as very
low sulphur fuel oil, without the need for refining.
Seacrest Petroleo has a seasoned management team and
organisation of 314 employees, with an experienced operational,
technical and commercial track-record in Brazil, combining a
disciplined capital allocation strategy with expertise in revitalising
mid- and late-life fields.
Our commitment
With the commitment to deliver maximum value to its investors,
Seacrest Petroleo targets high productivity, sustainable best
practices and financial discipline, striving for organic growth and
development of its acquired assets, always focused on efficiency
and value creation.

Successful listing enabling
access to growth capital
In February 2023, Seacrest Petroleo successfully raised USD 260
million in an IPO on Euronext Expand Oslo, which was the largest
upstream oil company IPO of 2023. Furthermore, USD 300 million
in secured debt was provided from a blue chip consortium
of lenders in Brazil. This funding facilitated the closing of the
USD 427 million Norte Capixaba acquisition in April 2023 –
a cornerstone of our growth strategy.
At the end of a challenging fourth quarter, we raised an additional
USD 26 million of equity through a private placement of shares
and secured further funding in January 2024 through issuing
USD 80 million of senior unsecured bonds. This strengthened
the Seacrest Petroleo balance sheet as it commences its industry
leading drilling programme, which is expected to more than triple
production in the coming years.
Strong production growth
We have been operating the Cricaré Cluster since January 2022
and managed another excellent year in 2023, growing total
production by more than 80% compared to the previous year.
Since taking over at Norte Capixaba in April 2023, production has
grown 35% through the re-opening of previously shut-in wells and
a rise in overall well productivity.
Overall, total production in December 2023 was 82% higher than
one year ago (including Norte Capixaba on pro-forma basis),
driven by a very successful workover programme across 91 wells.
This reflects the reserve base and the merits of the optimisas-
tion efforts driving up well productivity and reliability. Year-end
production was particularly improved as a result of the 96 projects
the Company executed throughout 2023 to mitigate the impact
of the rainy season.
Dealing with challenges
The year was not all smooth sailing as our growth trajectory was
challenged during the second half of the year. Electricity outages
in some of our fields, in part as a consequence of poor mainte-
nance by the prior owner, periodically interrupted production and
suppressed third quarter production growth. Having successfully
resolved these issues, we encountered extreme weather condi-
tions in Brazil, resulting in an offtaker force majeure cancellation
in the fourth quarter, necessitating a temporary reduction of
production as our storage was near full capacity.
Our team acted with swiftness and determination in adapting
to the situation and, although November production fell signifi-
cantly, we rapidly recovered in December, ending the year with
production almost in line with our targets.
Building a strong corporate culture
Both our successes during 2023, as well as our management of the
challenges in the second half of the year, reflect our developing
organisation and a resilient corporate culture. We tripled the number
of employees during the year and maintained an excellent health
and safety track record with no serious incidents for two consecutive
years and a lost time injury rate of only 0.38 for 2023. We continue to
develop our organisation to enable us to achieve our ambitions.
Focused on the future
Seacrest Petroleo has embarked on the largest onshore drilling
programme in Brazil, targeting 300 infill wells in the next four
years, with 40-50 wells during 2024. Our reserve base has deliv-
ered on our expectations so far. We remain focused on our target
to more than triple production by 2027, generating growing value
for our stakeholders.

Strategy and targets
Strategy
The Company was formed expressly for the purpose of partici-
pating in Petrobras’ asset divestment program and successfully
acquired from Petrobras two clusters of oil and gas production
concessions onshore Brazil. The Company’s strategy is to revitalise
the assets through the reopening of shut-in wells, the optimi-
sation of existing wells and drilling additional wells to tap more
reservoirs.
Oil and gas assets
Combined, the Cricaré and Norte Capixaba clusters are estimated
to hold total reserves of 1.2 billion oil equivalent (mmboe) per
the 2023 reserve report. The recovery rate to date is 17% and the
target is to achieve a recovery rate of at least 29%. This leaves 144
mmboe of reserves to be produced through to 2050, of which 41 is
estimated to be recoverable by the end of this decade.
By 2023, a total of 77 wells have been re-opened and well
productivity has been improved by 15% across the two clusters. A
further 300 infill wells are targeted to be drilled in the next four
years through a comprehensive and industry-leading drilling
programme.
Unique integrated infrastructure
The two clusters have a very close proximity to each other in the
state of Espírito Santo, enabling synergistic gains. The Company
also has seven processing facilities with a total treatment capacity
of 115 000 bopd and 200 km of pipelines within the state. This
enables low incremental operating costs and a high degree of
schedule control. Finally, the Terminal Norte Capixaba on the
coast has 500 000 barrels of storage capacity and an offshore
loading buoy that gives direct access to seaborne transport to
both domestic and international markets.
Premium product
About 85% of the oil production from the fields targets a specifica-
tion that is priced as very low sulphur fuel oil, without the need for
refining. Such a product has historically traded at a premium to
conventional crude oil.
Targets
Seacrest Petroleo aims to increase oil production from 7 646
bopd in 2023, to between 8 500 bopd and 11 000 bopd in 2024.
The long-term ambition is to reach a plateau production level of
above 30 000 bopd in 2027.
The execution of these ambitious targets is dependent on the
drilling of up to 300 new infill wells as part of a drilling programme
that was started towards the end of 2023. The guidance for 2024
is 40-50 wells, funded by a capex allocation of USD 70-100 million.
The payback cycle for new wells is short and the programme will
eventually become self-funding.
People
The Seacrest Petroleo organisation has developed since inception.
At the end of 2023, the Company had 314 employees, triple that of
a year ago. In addition, more than 1300 contractor personnel are
employed in the operations.
The management team is composed of seasoned professionals
with strong international backgrounds and experience from
multiple oil and gas producing regions worldwide. The opera-
tions and development teams have significant experience from
working in onshore operations in Brazil for a variety of local and
international operators.
The Company has a strong focus on building a business culture
that fosters integrity, ethical business conduct and safe opera-
tions, stimulating our employees’ personal development, their
ability to take responsibility and improve their skills. Seacrest
Petroleo is proud of its excellent HSSE performance with only one
lost time incident and four injuries recorded in the past two years,
despite more than 3.5 million hours worked.

Introduction
Seacrest Petroleo was established in 2019 and started full operations in January 2022 at the Cricaré Cluster.
Since then, the operations have grown significantly. The number of employees has grown more than ten-fold
to 314, with an additional 1 332 contractors as part of operations. The total production volumes managed by the
Company are now more than 13 times higher than at the start of 2022 and the number of wells operated has
increased nearly four-fold.
Seacrest has developed a growing operational track record
thanks to a clear focus on health and safety and a dedication to
responsible operations and local community engagement.
Sustainability in a strategy context
The fields in the Cricaré and Norte Capixaba clusters have been
in operation for decades but had previously been subject to
underinvestment by the prior owner. The strategy of Seacrest
Petroleo is to increase production and the ultimate recovery rate
from the fields through various means such as re-opening and
maintenance of existing wells, drilling new infill wells and well
recompletions, as well as steam and water injection programmes.
The Company owns all related infrastructure for the fields,
consisting of pipelines and treatment facilities. This infrastructure
transports the oil to the Termninal Norte Capixaba, which is fully
owned by the Company and consists of storage tanks and export
facilities, including an offshore loading buoy.
With all infrastructure already in place, the Group enjoys favour-
able incremental cost economics and can control emissions and
reduce risk of spills and environmental damage.
Seacrest Petroleo executed its growth strategy during 2023,
tripling its organisation and raising oil production by more than
80% by the end of the year. Going forward, the ambition is to
more than triple production through the largest onshore drilling
programme in Brazil.
As a result, the Company is targeting to be in a growth mode
for years to come. Therefore, the focus will be on maintaining an
excellent health and safety track record, avoiding environmental
impacts, contributing jobs and value creation to local communi-
ties and building on a strong corporate culture with high ethical
standards. Strong growth generates challenges, which can
only be successfully dealt with through the development of a
high-performing and competent organisation.

Health and Safety
Why it is important
Seacrest Petroleo follows the principles
of “no harm to people” and “no
accidents”. Maintaining good health
and safety performance is essential for
operations. It is integral to attracting
and retaining a skilled workforce,
and to continuously maintain good
relations with the local communities
where the Company operates. Seacrest
Petroleo is subject to strict health and
safety regulations in Brazil, as well
as evolving industry standards and
international conventions. The impact
of breaching such regulations and
standards may be material.
Policies related to Health and Safety
Seacrest Petroleo has a Health, Environment and Safety Policy,
reflecting its commitment to operate responsibly and securely
and to never compromise on the Company’s standards for health,
safety and the environment. The Policy reflects the Company’s
commitments to:
• Comply with or exceed legal requirements and other
requirements
• Define objectives and goals that lead to improvements
• Support and train staff and ensure their competence in HSE
matters
• Manage the risks associated with contractors
• Report, investigate and learn from any accidents or near misses
• Routinely inspect workplaces and to audit systems and
processes
• Look for ways to improve our performance
Everyone involved with Seacrest Petroleo has the responsibility to
comply with this Policy and to assist in its execution.
Health and Safety performance
The Company is satisfied with its health and safety performance
during 2023, which built on a very strong 2022 – the first year of
actual operations. During the year, 134 critical operations and
maintenance contractors were converted to staff to more deeply
embed the Company’s HSE culture and secure further perfor-
mance improvement.
Seacrest Petroleo adopt the Heinrich risk management approach,
where near-miss identification and investigation reduces the
risk of higher impact events. The focus going forward is to
further strengthen the safety culture to eliminate high potential
incidents and near misses. As the activities grew significantly
during 2023, these parameters increased meaningfully and are
therefore deserving of renewed attention. Another focus area is to
ensure that the large contractor workforce adheres to and follows
Seacrest Petroleo’s principles and internal regulations.

Why it is important
Leveraging its existing infrastructure
for its activities is core to Seacrest
Petroleo. With no need for
construction and development activity
in the operations, a substantial source
of emissions is removed. Moreover,
onshore oil & gas production is
generally lower in emissions than
offshore oil & gas and entails reduced
oil spill risk compared to offshore
operations. The infrastructure is
already in place, which implies
reduced impacts on the native
vegetation and environment.
The Company is subject to strict environmental regulations and
permits in Brazil. Seacrest Petroleo complies with all license-to-op-
erate requirements when it comes to environmental management,
from water management to GHG emissions and aims to exceed all
environmental regulations through a continuous process of meas-
urement and improvement.
Physical climate risk is a relevant factor for the operations due to
the increased frequency and severity of storms that may result
in production disruptions and damage to equipment and assets.
Such events affected the Company’s operations during 2023, both
through severe droughts in the Amazonas, as well as extreme
storms affecting marine downstream logistics.
Longer term transition risks include global carbon emission taxation
schemes, which may have a negative impact on demand for hydrocar
-
bons or reduce the profitability of the operations, if levied on the producers.
Access to financing may also become more restricted as lenders may be
incentivised away from fossil fuels towards renewable energies.
Seacrest Petroleo therefore takes its climate responsibility seriously
and plans to set clear targets for performance related to carbon
emissions to ensure that it delivers a product that is low on emis-
sions and low on environmental impact. A process to identify ranked
projects for improvement has been started.
Climate and environmental performance
Seacrest Petroleo is required to track GHG emissions and energy
use related to production, and report this to the ANP (the Brazil
National Petroleum Agency) and the IBAMA (the Brazilian Institute
of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources), as specified in
the environmental licenses for the fields. The reporting covers both
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
The crude oil and petroleum products used refer to diesel oil used for
power generation, while the renewable energy consumption refers
to alcohol-based additives mixed into the fuel.
The Group has engaged with a sustainability consultancy to expand
the reporting structure, and to include other relevant parameters
such as water use, waste, and environmental impacts. The reporting
data for 2023 has been developed with the assistance of this third
party and has resulted in a restatement of the reported 2022
numbers. The adjustments reflect incorrect data calculations for
diesel consumption, as well as a revision of the GHG emissions data
to include only those reported to the ANP, in line with industry stand
-
ards in Brazil. The restatements are summarised in a separate table.
The increase in energy consumption in 2023 reflects the significant
increase in activity for the Company. In particular, the use of steam
units to boost production from the production wells resulted in a
significant increase in natural gas consumption, while the pump units
and vehicles recorded a significant uptick in diesel consumption.
Beginning in 2023, Seacrest Petroleo started to report some of the
upstream Scope 3 emissions, which refer primarily to the emissions
from trucks used to transport oil in the Company’s operations.
Other environmental parameters have only been reported from 2023
and onwards, so there is no comparison with the prior year. The ambi
-
tion is to broaden the disclosures of environmental data, including
pollution metrics, and to set performance targets where necessary.

Board of Directors’ report
Introduction
Seacrest Petroleo is an independent oil and gas production
company with an integrated portfolio of producing oil fields
and export infrastructure onshore in Espírito Santo, Brazil. The
Company has exclusive control over its infrastructure, continu-
ously from field production to an offshore tanker loading terminal,
allowing for cost-effective operations growth, and enabling direct
access to markets for its premium grade products.
The Company was incorporated in Bermuda on 5 June 2019 as
an exempted company limited by shares under the Bermuda
Companies Act. The Company’s registered office address is
Victoria Place, 31 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM 10, Bermuda, and its
website is www.seacrestpetroleo.com.
Seacrest Petroleo is headquartered in Bermuda, while the Group’s
business activities are conducted in Brazil through the Rio de
Janeiro office. The Company also has representatives in Uruguay,
the United Kingdom and Norway.
The Company was formed to acquire assets from Petrobras’
divestment programme. In August 2020, the Company entered
into an agreement with Petrobras to acquire the Cricaré cluster,
which comprises 27 onshore oil concessions and the related oil
and gas production assets. The acquisition closed in December
2021 and the Company assumed operational responsibility of
Cricaré from January 2022.
In February 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agree-
ment with Petrobras for the acquisition of the Norte Capixaba
cluster, which comprises four onshore oil concessions with related
oil and gas production assets and the Terminal Norte Capixaba,
which is operated by a subsidiary of Petrobras. The closing of the
Norte Capixaba acquisition took place on 12 April 2023, resulting
in the Company becoming the third largest onshore oil and gas
producer in Brazil.
Operational review
During 2023, Seacrest Petroleo continued with initiatives to
further raise production from the Cricaré Cluster through
re-opening of more wells, pump stroke optimisation, steam injec-
tion and workovers. More wells in production and a significantly
higher well productivity resulted in production from the Cluster
almost doubling from 2022.
Seacrest Petroleo took over operations in the Norte Capixaba
Cluster on 12 April 2023 and immediately executed a similar
strategy of re-opening wells and improving well productivity. The
Cluster is younger than Cricaré and with more modern infrastruc-
ture, yielding higher production per well. Production since the
takeover has been approximately 15% higher than was the case in
the 12 months prior to takeover.
Overall, the Company exited 2023 with a production level 82%
higher than one year earlier (including Norte Capixaba on a pro
forma basis), showing the quality of the assets, as well as the
benefits of Seacrest Petroleo’s targeted efforts.
Nevertheless, the Company experienced several challenges in the
second half of the year. Electricity outages in some of the fields, in
part as a consequence of poor maintenance by the prior owner,
periodically affected production in the third quarter, slowing
down the scheduled production ramp up. In the fourth quarter,
unprecedented weather events put several offtakes on hold and
with oil storage capacity full, production had to be temporarily
reduced until offtakes could resume. This resulted in a significant
drop in November production and, while recovery was swift in
December, the fourth quarter production was lower than had
been expected.
There was a delay to the completion of required maintenance
work at the Terminal Norte Capixaba (TNC). Testing and certifi-
cation of the terminal pipelines and monobuoy for the export of
on-spec very low sulphur fuel oil has also been delayed into 2024,
and remains the highest priority to resolve in the first half of the
year. Thus, Seacrest Petroleo has not been able to start selling this
premium product on the planned timeline.

The organisation has been strengthened throughout 2023
along with the significant expansion of activities. The number of
employees has grown from 105 at the end of 2022 to 314 at the
end of 2023. Both the central management teams and the oper-
ational teams have been able to attract highly skilled personnel
with very strong industry track records.
Reserves and resources
At year-end 2023, Seacrest Petroleo had certified 2P reserves of
143.9 mmboe, consisting of of 90% oil reserves and 10% natural gas
reserves. Of this, 60% are regarded as 1P reserves (86 mmboe) and
the remaining 58 mmboe as 2P reserves. There is an additional
23 mmboe in 3P reserves. Overall 2P reserves represent a year-
over-year increase of 3%. Adjusting for production during 2023,
the increase amounts to 5%. The Company’s focus on increasing
production and developed reserves resulted in PDP and PD
reserves being maintained, despite the production of 3 mmboe
during the year and the expected PDP cash flows for the first
five-year period is up 50% from last year. The gas reserves have
been raised significantly and allows for steam generation fuel
self-sufficiency until 2040.
Certified resources in place amount to 1.2 bnboe and the recovery
rate to date is a combined 17%. The certified 2P reserves target a
recovery rate of 29% for both clusters combined.
Health, safety, security, environ-
ment and quality (HSSEQ)
Health, safety, security, environment and quality (“HSSEQ”) have
the highest priority throughout the Seacrest Petroleo organisa-
tion. The Company has established policies for safety, security,
occupational health and environmental management.
The Company prioritises safety in all its operations and has “zero
harm” as an overriding objective for personnel and the environ-
ment. The Company also shows due respect for the individual,
human rights and employment practices.
The HSSEQ performance has been excellent during 2023 with
only one lost time incident recorded, resulting in a lost time inci-
dent rate of only 0.47. The total number of recordable incidents
were four. There were five reportable hydrocarbon spills to the
environment, all of which were swiftly rectified without harm to
the environment, and subject to investigation to identify lessons
to be applied in ongoing operations.
Financial review
The consolidated financial figures for Seacrest Petroleo relate to
the full-year 2023. The comparable figures from 2022 include only
the operation of the Cricaré Cluster, while the 2023 figures include
Norte Capixaba from 12 April.
Profit and loss
Income statement revenue was USD 177.4 million in 2023
compared to USD 33.6 million in 2022. Production costs and
general and administrative expenses were USD 160.4 million in
2023 compared to USD 44.7 million in 2022.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
(EBITDA) for 2023 were USD 17.1 million compared to losses of
USD 11.1 million in 2022. EBITDA had a strong up-trend during the
year with the fourth quarter run-rate indicating further growth in
2024.
Operating loss was USD 44.8 million in 2023 compared to a loss of
USD 34.2 million in 2022.
The changes in revenue and EBITDA were due to the Company
taking over operations at the Norte Capixaba from 12 April 2023,
and from a general increase in oil production and offtakes.
The operating losses were affected by amortization of the intan-
gible assets related to the Norte Capixaba cluster and by the
increase in overall production.
Net financial expenses were USD 60.5 million compared to
USD 104.6 million in 2022. The increase in interest expense from
the prior year was USD 22 million, which was offset by USD 55
million in lower expensed hedging costs.
Tax income (deferred) was USD 25.9 million in 2023, compared to
USD 19.6 million in 2022.
Net losses were USD 79.3 million in 2023 compared to net losses
of 119.2 million in 2022.

Going concern
Based on Seacrest Petroleo’s overall position at the end of the year,
as well as the current outlook, the Board of Directors believes that
Seacrest Petroleo has a good foundation for continued operations.
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Corporate governance policy
Seacrest Petroleo supports the principles of the Norwegian Code
of Practice for Corporate Governance (the Code) issued by the
Norwegian Corporate Governance Board (NUES/NCGB). As a
company incorporated in Bermuda, the Company is also subject
to Bermuda laws and regulations with respect to corporate
governance.
More detailed information can be found in the separate Corporate
Governance Report section of this Annual Report.
Risk factors
Seacrest Petroleo’s risk exposure is analysed and evaluated to
ensure sound internal control and appropriate risk management
based on internal values, policies, and code of ethics. Seacrest
Petroleo is exposed to market risk,including commodity price risk,
political risk, climate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.
Development of oil and gas fields is associated with risks
including but not limited to, the price of crude oil, cost overruns
and production disruptions, as well as delays compared to initial
plans. Some of the most important risk factors are related to the
estimation and recoverability of reserves. Changes to energy
prices might influence the economic viability of ongoing and
planned developments and anticipated revenues from the
production of such developments. Furthermore, the global
energy transition trend has heightened risks related to climate
change for Seacrest Petroleo.
The development and operation of oil and gas fields is capital
intensive and Seacrest Petroleo may, from time to time, require
access to capital. The Company is therefore exposed to risks
related to the availability of such capital in a timely manner and to
the cost of such capital.
Seacrest Petroleo expects continued regulatory attention,
including changes to taxation relating to climate change. The
overall risk management programme focuses on addressing
these risks and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on
Seacrest Petroleo’s financial performance.
The most important operational risk factors are related to
the operation of the Cricaré and Norte Capixaba clusters, the
management and timing of offtakes, and the execution of
projects, which could lead to accidents, oil spills and damage to
the environment if not managed properly.
Seacrest Petroleo’s ability to make payments on or refinance
any debt and to fund working capital and capital investments
will depend on its future operating performance and ability
to generate sufficient cash. This depends on the success of its
Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023
3030 GovernanceGovernance | Board of Directors’ reportGovernance | Board of Directors’ report
business strategy and on general economic and other factors,
many of which are beyond Seacrest Petroleo’s control. Seacrest
Petroleo cannot assure that its business will generate sufficient
cash flow from operations or that future debt and equity financings
will be available to it in an amount sufficient to enable it to pay its
debt or to fund its other liquidity needs. Also, any failure by Seacrest
Petroleo to comply with covenants in its debt obligations, or to
make debt repayments on a timely basis would likely cause an
event of default under its debt arrangements.
Recent global macroeconomic and geopolitical developments
have supported higher energy prices amid concerns for regional
energy shortages. At the same time, inflationary pressures and
higher interest rates are dampening global economic growth,
resulting in headwinds for oil demand growth and prices.
Seacrest Petroleo’s operational activities are subject to tax in
Brazil. As assets and production are long-term in nature, Seacrest
Petroleo’s results could be exposed to risk of changes to tax legis-
lation in Brazil.
Seacrest Petroleo is also subject to risks associated with the
overall energy policies in Brazil, as well as changes to regulatory
regimes, that may emerge for political reasons.
For more information about risk factors identified for the
Company, see the prospectus dated 8 February 2023, in relation
to the IPO of Seacrest Petroleo.
Outlook
Seacrest Petroleo prioritises safety first with zero harm as an over-
riding objective for people and the environment. Seacrest Petroleo
is reducing its carbon footprint by developing discovered oil and
gas resources through the use of existing production infrastructure.
Seacrest Petroleo expects oil and gas to remain an important part
of the global energy mix in the decades to come and remains
focused on realising long-term value creation via its phased
development strategy and targeting investments in high-return
activities. This flexible investment strategy fits a range of market
scenarios and positions Seacrest Petroleo to address both short-
and long-term opportunities to drive cash flows and earnings.
Energy prices remain at high levels despite a softening of macroe-
conomic drivers during 2023 as inflation and higher interest rates
slowed global economic growth.
Seacrest Petroleo has a target to create significant value for its
stakeholders going forward. Short-term, the focus is on raising
production and ultimate resource recovery from the Cricaré
and Norte Capixaba Clusters significantly through pursuing the
largest drilling programme onshore Brazil. The Company aims to
triple the combined production from the two clusters by 2027 and
to add additional reserves to its 2P reserve base in the process.
This should support significant positive cash flow at current
oil price levels medium term. However, the ambitious drilling
programme will require significant investments short term which
will have to be financed by the Company’s ongoing cash flow,
existing cash on the balance sheet and potentially access to
further liquidity from banks, partners or the capital markets..

Events after the reporting date
In January 2024, Seacrest Petroleo Bermuda Limited paid the
contingent consideration of USD 36 million under the terms of
the Cricaré and Norte Capixaba Sale and Purchase Agreements
with Petrobras and successfully issued a 3-year USD 80 million
senior unsecured bond with a coupon of 16% p.a.
The net proceeds from the bond issue will strengthen the
Company’s ability to grow production through drilling, work-overs
and other field development optimisations at the Norte Capixaba
and Cricaré Clusters.

Corporate Governance
Seacrest Petroleo strives to protect and enhance shareholder value through openness, integrity and equal
shareholder treatment. The Company is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance
and investor relations as a key element of the strategy to reduce risks and increase value creation for the
benefit of shareholders, employees, the environment and the society as a whole.
1. Corporate Governance in Seacrest
Seacrest Petroleo Bermuda Limited is a Bermuda excempted
limited company listed on Euronext Expand Oslo.
The Company and its activities are primarily governed by the
Bermuda Companies Act, its Memorandum of Association and its
Bye-laws. In addition, the Company is subject to certain aspects of
the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, the Norwegian Accounting
Act and the continuing obligations for companies listed on the
Oslo Stock Exchange.
The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has prepared
the following report that explains the Group’s corporate govern-
ance practices and how it has complied with the Norwegian Code
of Practice for Corporate Governance (the “Corporate Governance
Code”) in the preceding year. The application of the Corporate
Governance Code is based on the “comply or explain” principle
and deviations from the Code, if any, are explained under the
relevant item. The Group’s corporate governance practices are
subject to annual reviews and discussions by the Board.
Subject to the deviations identified below, the Company will seek
to comply with the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate
Governance.
Deviations to the Code
In its own assessment, the Company as at 31 December 2023 did
not comply with the following recommendations of the Corporate
Governance Code:
• Section 2 – The Business: Pursuant to the Company’s
Memorandum of Association, the objects for which the
Company was formed and incorporated are unrestricted
• Section 3 – Equity and dividends:
– The Board’s authority to increase the Company’s issued share
capital is limited to the extent of its authorized but unissued
share capital at any time and is not restricted to specific
purposes
– The Company’s Bye-laws permit the Board to grant share
options in respect of authorized but unissued shares or
shares held in treasury to employees without requiring that
a general meeting of shareholders be presented with the
volume or other terms and conditions of such grant
– Under the Company’s Bye-laws, the Board may declare
dividends and distributions without the approval of a general
meeting of shareholders
• Section 4 – Transactions with close associates: The Bermuda
Companies Act does not contain special case management
requirements concerning how specifically defined agreements
between public companies and close associates are to be handled
• Section 6 – General meetings of shareholders:
– The Company will normally not have the entire Board attend
general meetings of shareholders, as this is not required by
Bermuda law
– Pursuant to the Company’s Bye-laws, general meetings of
shareholders are chaired by the chairperson of the Board or,
in his or her absence, another member of the Board
Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023
3636 GovernanceGovernance | Corporate GovernanceGovernance | Corporate Governance
• Section 7 – Board of Directors, composition
and independence:
– The chairperson of the Board is elected by the Board and not
by the shareholders
– The Board will include members of the Management
• Section 8 – The work of the board of directors:
– The Board has not established board rules as the Company’s
Bye-laws are more detailed than the articles of association
typically used by Norwegian companies
– Section 8.2 and 8.3: The Nomination and Corporate
Governance Committee is established by and reports to
the Board. Further, members of the Board comprise the
members of the Nomination and Corporate Governance
Committee
• Section 10 – Remuneration of the board of directors: The
remuneration of the Board is determined by the Board based
on recommendations made by the Remuneration Committee.
Further, members of the Board will participate in the
Company’s share option plan
• Section 13 – Take-overs: The Company does not have separate
guidelines on how to respond in the event of a takeover bid
2. The business
Seacrest Petroleo is an independent oil and gas producer focused
on the redevelopment of mid-life onshore producing oil and gas
fields.
The Company’s principal strategies are described in the Strategy
section of the annual report and on the Company’s website
www.seacrestpetroleo.com.
The Company’s Memorandum of Association provides that the
Company’s objects and purposes are unrestricted. This deviates
from the recommendation in the Corporate Governance Code but
is in line with the requirements of the Bermuda Companies Act
3. Equity and dividends
Equity
On 31 December, 2023, the Company’s consolidated equity was
USD 160.1 million, which is equivalent to 20% of total assets. The
Board considered the capital structure at year end to be satisfactory
in relation to the Company’s objectives, strategy and risk profile.
Dividend policy
The Company has not paid dividends on its shares during the
period from its incorporation and up to the date of this report. The
Company’s priority is to return excess free cash to its shareholders
whenever possible, as determined by the Board. Any dividends
declared in the future will be at the sole discretion of the Board
and will depend upon earnings, market prospects, current capital
expenditure programs and investment opportunities.
Since the Company is a holding company with no material assets
other than the shares of the Company’s subsidiaries through
which the Company conducts its operations, the Company’s
ability to pay dividends will depend on its subsidiaries distributing
their earnings and cash flow to the Company. Furthermore,
certain covenants in the Company’s New Credit Agreement and
senior unsecured bonds restrict the payment of dividends unless
certain covenant tests are met.
Under the Company’s Bye-laws, the Board may declare dividends
and distributions without the approval of a general meeting of
shareholders. This is in line with Bermuda corporate practices but
deviates from the Corporate Governance
Code and Norwegian corporate practices whereby dividends and
distributions require the approval of a general meeting of share-
holders.
Under Bermuda law, a company may not declare or pay a divi-
dend or distribution if there are reasonable grounds for believing
that: (a) it is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its
liabilities as they become due; or (b) the realisable value of its
assets would as a result of the dividend or distribution be less than
its liabilities.
Share capital increases and issuance of shares
The Board is authorised by the Company’s Bye-laws to issue
shares in the Company up to the number of shares representing
the Company’s authorised share capital. The Board is also author-
ised to cause the Company to purchase its own shares and hold
these in treasury.
Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023
3737 GovernanceGovernance | Corporate GovernanceGovernance | Corporate Governance
The authorisations to issue shares and acquire the Company’s
own shares are not restricted to any specific purposes or to a
specific period as the Corporate Governance Code recommends.
4. Equal treatment of shareholders
The Company has one class of shares. Each share in the Company
carries one vote, and all shares carry equal rights, including the
right to participate in general meetings. All shareholders shall be
treated on an equal basis, unless there is just cause for treating
them differently in the best common interest of the Company
and its shareholders.
Pre-emption rights to subscribe
Under the Bermuda Companies Act, no shareholder has a pre-
emptive right to subscribe for new shares in a limited company
unless (and only to the extent that) such right is expressly granted
to the shareholder under the Bye-laws of such company or under
a contract between the shareholder and such company. The
Company’s Bye-laws do not provide for pre-emptive rights.
Trading in treasury shares
In the event of a future share buy-back programme, the Board
of Directors will aim to ensure that all transactions pursuant to
such programme will be carried out either through the trading
system on the Oslo Stock Exchange or at prevailing prices on the
Oslo Stock Exchange and in accordance with the Market Abuse
Regulation (“MAR”). In the event of such programme, the Board
will take the Company’s and shareholders’ interests into consid-
eration and aim to maintain transparency and equal treatment
of all shareholders. If there is limited liquidity in the Company’s
shares, the Company shall consider other ways to ensure equal
treatment of all shareholders.
The Board may consider establishing internal rules governing
the Company’s trading in treasury shares and other financial
instruments.
Transactions with close associates
The Board aims to ensure that any material future transactions
between the Company and shareholders, a shareholder’s parent
company, Board members, executive personnel or close associ-
ates of any such parties are entered into on arm’s length terms.
The Bye-Laws do not prohibit a Board member from being a
party to, or otherwise having an interest in, any transaction or
arrangement with the Company or in which the Company is
otherwise interested. The Bye-Laws provide that a Board member
who has an interest in any transaction or arrangement with
the Company and who has complied with the provisions of the
Bermuda Companies Act and with the Bye-Laws with regard
to disclosure of such interest shall, subject to limited exceptions
under the Bye-Laws, be entitled to vote in respect of any transac-
tion or arrangement in which he or she is so interested and taken
into account in determining whether a quorum is present.
In contrast to Norwegian legislation, the Bermuda Companies
Act does not contain special case management requirements
concerning how specifically defined agreements between public
companies and close associates are to be handled. The Board will
consider and determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether any
independent third-party evaluations are required when entering
into agreements with close associates (but is not required by
Bermuda law to do so).
5. Freely negotiable shares
The shares of the Company are freely transferable. The Board
has certain discretion to decline to register a transfer of shares
pursuant to the Company’s Bye-laws, including to (i) decline to
register a transfer of any share which is not a fully-paid share (the
Company does not, however, expect to issue any shares which are
not fully paid) and (ii) where the holder of the shares concerned
has defaulted on an obligation to disclose the information
required by the Company’s Bye-laws in respect of the holder’s
interest in those shares
6. General meetings
The Board shall ensure that as many of the Company’s share-
holders as possible are able to exercise their voting rights at the
Company’s general meetings of shareholders, and that each
general meeting is an effective forum for shareholders and the
Board. Special general meetings (SGMs) can be called by the
Board if deemed necessary or upon the requisition of share-
holders representing at least ten per cent (10%) of the Company’s
share capital. In addition, pursuant to the Bye-Laws, for such time
as a shareholder of the Company beneficially owns at least twenty
per cent (20%) of the issued shares in the Company, SGMs shall
also be called by the Board or the Chairperson of the Board on the
Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023
3838 GovernanceGovernance | Corporate GovernanceGovernance | Corporate Governance
written request of such shareholder delivered to the Company’s
registered office.
Notification
To form a view on all matters to be considered at the meeting, the
deadline for shareholders to submit proxy votes is set as close to
the date of the meeting as possible.
Participation and execution
Representatives of the Board will attend the Company’s general
meetings. However, the Company will not normally have the
entire Board attend general meetings, unless this is considered
necessary in light of the matters to be dealt with. This is not a
requirement by Bermuda law but represents a deviation from
the Corporate Governance Code which states that arrangements
shall be made to ensure participation by all directors. The Board
and the chair of the general meeting will ensure that the share-
holders are able to vote separately on each candidate nominated
for election to the Board.
The general meeting is chaired by the chairperson of the Board or
a person appointed by the chairperson. This simplifies the prepa-
rations for the general meetings. In the Company’s experience, its
procedures for the chairmanship and execution of general meet-
ings have proven satisfactory. However, this represents a deviation
from the Corporate Governance Code which states that the Board
should seek to ensure that an independent chair is appointed, if
considered necessary based on the agenda items or other rele-
vant circumstances.
The right to participate and vote at the general meeting may only
be exercised by shareholders whose shareholdings are entered
in the register of shareholders, including the Norwegian Central
Securities Depository (the “VPS”), on the record date set for the
meeting by the Board, as stipulated by the Company’s Bye-laws
in accordance with statutory law. Instead of participating at the
general meeting, shareholders may vote in advance by a proxy,
with or without voting instructions.
7. Board of directors: composition
and independence
Pursuant to the Company’s Bye-laws, the Board shall consist of
between five and seven members. On 31 December 2023, the Board
consisted of seven members (see overview in the Board of Directors’
report). The chairperson of the Board is elected by the Board.
The Board’s composition ensures that it can attend to the common
interests of all shareholders in the Company and meet the Company’s
need for expertise, capacity and diversity. Attention is paid to ensure
that the Board can function effectively as a collegiate body.
The composition of the Board ensures that it can operate inde
-
pendently of any particular interests. The composition of the Board
is in compliance with the independence requirements of the
Corporate Governance Code, meaning that the majority of the
shareholder-elected members of the Board are independent of the
Company’s executive management and material business contacts.
The Board will, in accordance with normal procedures for Bermuda
companies, elect its chairperson. This differs from the recommenda
-
tion in the Corporate Governance Code that the general meeting of
shareholders shall elect the chairperson of the Board.
Each member of the Board of Directors will hold office until the
next annual general meeting following his or her election or until
his or her earlier removal or resignation.
The Company’s annual report and the website provide information
to illustrate the expertise of the members of the Board. The Board
considers its composition to be diverse and to represent required
competencies including financial and industrial experience. Board
members are encouraged to own shares in the Company.
8. The work of the Board of Directors
The Board is responsible for the overall management of the
Company and may exercise all of the powers of the Company not
reserved for the Company’s shareholders by the Bye-laws and
Bermuda law.
The Board shall evaluate its performance and expertise annually.
This evaluation shall include the composition of the Board and
the manner in which its members function, both individually and
as a group, in relation to the objectives set out for its work. The
report shall be made available to the Nomination and Corporate
Governance Committee.
A director who has a personal interest in any contract with the
Company must declare his interest at the first opportunity.
Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023

The Board may establish ad hoc board committees as it deter-
mines necessary, and has the following permanent Board
committees:
• Audit Committee
• Remuneration Committee
• Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee
• Technical Committee
Each committee has its own written terms of reference. The terms of
reference set forth the purposes and responsibilities of the commit-
tees, consistent with the provisions of the Company’s Bye-Laws,
applicable law, and listing standards and “best practices”. The chair
of each committee, in consultation with the appropriate members
of the committee, will develop the committee’s agenda.
Committee members will be appointed by the Board upon
recommendation of the Nomination and Corporate Governance
Committee. Each committee will be composed of no fewer than the
number of members set forth in their respective terms of reference.
In addition, each committee member must satisfy the membership
requirements set forth in the relevant committee terms of reference.
A member of the Board may serve on more than one committee.
8.1 The Audit Committee
The Board has established an Audit Committee comprised of two
members of the Board. The members of the Audit Committee are
appointed by and among the members of the Board. At least one
of the members shall be independent of the Company’s business,
of which at least one member shall have qualifications within
accounting or auditing.
The primary purpose of the Audit Committee shall be to assist
the Board in the preparation of decisions on issues regarding risk
management, internal control, financial reporting and auditing.
The duties of the Audit Committee include, but are not limited to,
oversight of:
• reviewing and discussing with Management and the auditors
prior to public dissemination the Company’s audited financial
statements and quarterly financial statements, including
matters required to be discussed by the applicable auditing
standards from time to time;
• approving the audit and non-audit services to be performed by
the independent auditors;
• in consultation with the auditors, Management and internal
finance team, monitoring the integrity of the Company’s finan-
cial reporting processes;
• overseeing the performance of the Company’s internal finance
and audit function;
• reviewing and discussing with the Company’s general counsel
any legal matters that could have a significant impact on the
Company financial statements; and
• reviewing and discussing with Management and the auditors
the Company guidelines and policies with respect to risk
assessment and risk management.
On 31 December 2023, the Audit Committee consisted of Rune
Olav Pedersen and Denis Chatelan.
8.2 The Remuneration Committee
The Board has established a Remuneration Committee
comprised of two members of the Board.
The purpose of the Remuneration Committee is, inter alia, to
evaluate and propose the compensation of the Company’s CEO
and other members of the Management and the members of the
Board.
The members of the Remuneration Committee shall be
appointed by and among the members of the Board, and shall be
independent of the Management.
On 4 February 2024, Martin Bachmann and José Alcides
Santoro Martins were elected as members of the Remuneration
Committee.
8.3 The Nomination and Corporate
Governance Committee
The Board has established a Nomination and Corporate
Governance Committee comprised of three members of the
Board.
The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee is respon-
sible for assisting the Board in (i) identifying individuals qualified
to become members of the Board, consistent with criteria
approved by the Board, (ii) recommending to the Board nomi-
nees to stand for election as directors at the next annual general
meeting, (iii) developing and recommending to the Board a set
of corporate governance principles applicable to the Company
and assisting the Board in complying with them, (iv) overseeing
the evaluation of the Board and Management, (v) recommending
members of the Board of Directors to serve on other committees
of the Board and evaluating the functions and performance of

such committees, (vi) overseeing and approving the Management
continuity planning process and (vii) otherwise taking a leader-
ship role in shaping the corporate governance of the Company.
The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee is
established by and reports to the Board. This deviates from
the Corporate Governance Code which recommends that a
nomination committee shall be established by and report its
recommendations to the general meeting of shareholders.
Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code, a nomination
committee should not include any executive personnel or any
member of the Company’s Board. The Company only partly
complies with this recommendation as members of the Board
comprise the members of the Nomination and Corporate
Governance Committee.
On 4 February 2024 Erik Tiller, Robert Lawson and Pedro
Magalhães were elected as members of the Nomination and
Corporate Governance Committee.
8.4. Technical Committee
The Board established a Technical Committee on 4 February
2024, consisting of Martin Bachmann, Denis Chatelan and José
Alcides Santoro Martins. The terms of reference for the Technical
Committee are not yet formally approved by the Board.
9. Risk management and internal control
Risk management and internal control are given high priority by
the Board, ensuring that adequate systems for risk management
and internal control are in place. The control system consists of
interdependent areas which include risk management, control
environment, control activities, information and communication
and monitoring.
The Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
sufficient internal controls over financial reporting. Company
specific policies, standards and accounting principles have been
developed for the annual and quarterly financial reporting of the
Group. The CEO and the CFO supervise and oversee the external
reporting and the internal reporting processes. This includes
assessing financial reporting risks and internal controls over finan-
cial reporting of the Group. The Company’s consolidated financial
statements are prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International
Accounting Standards.
The Board shall ensure that the Company has sound internal
controls and systems for risk management, including compliance
with the Company’s corporate values, ethical guidelines and
guidelines for corporate social responsibility.
The Board shall undertake a complete annual review of risks related
to the Group’s business, to be carried out together with the review
of the annual financial statements. The Audit Committee shall assist
the Board on an ongoing basis in monitoring the Company’s system
for risk management and internal control. In connection with the
quarterly financial statements, the Audit Committee shall present
to the Board reviews and information regarding the Company’s
current business performance and risks.
10. Remuneration of the Board of Directors
The remuneration of the Board is determined by the Board
based on recommendations by the Remuneration Committee in
accordance with the policies and principles set forth in its terms of
reference and the terms of such plans as may be adopted by the
Board from time to time. The Corporate Governance Code recom
-
mends that the remuneration of the Board is determined by the
general meeting of shareholders based on the recommendations of
a nomination committee. As such, the determination of remunera
-
tion by the Board deviates from the Corporate Governance Code.
Board members may also be paid all travel, hotel and other
expenses properly incurred by them in connection with the
Company’s business or the discharge of their duties as directors.
The remuneration of the Board shall reflect the Board’s respon-
sibility, expertise, time commitment and the complexity of the
Company’s activities. Performance-related remuneration of the
executive management shall be linked to value creation for share
-
holders or to the Company’s profit over time. Such arrangements
are meant to incentivise performance and shall be based on quan
-
tifiable factors the employee may influence, and then be rewarded
accordingly. There should be a cap on performance-related
remuneration. Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code, board
Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023
4141 GovernanceGovernance | Corporate GovernanceGovernance | Corporate Governance
members should not participate in any incentive or share option
programmes. The Company’s Board members will participate in
the Company’s share option plan as the Company considers such
participation beneficial to attract and retain competent board
members and is in line with Bermuda corporate practices.
With reference to regulations of the Norwegian Accounting Act,
the Corporate Governance Code recommends that the annual
report provides details of all elements of the remuneration and
benefits for each board member. The Company is not required
under Bermuda law to disclose the remuneration of the Board on
an individual basis and does not, at present, consider it necessary
to provide such information in the annual report.
Further, the Corporate Governance Code recommends that
members of the Board should not take on specific assignments
for the Company in addition to their appointment as members of
the Board. The Company will not refrain from engaging members
of the Board for specific assignments for the Company if such
engagement is considered beneficial for the Company. This differs
from the recommendation in the Corporate Governance Code.
However, such assignments will be disclosed to the Board and the
Board shall approve the assignment, as well as the remuneration.
11. Remuneration of the executive personnel
The Board shall, with the assistance from the Company’s
Remuneration Committee, prepare a clear policy for the determi-
nation of salary and other remuneration of executive personnel.
The policy shall contribute to the Company’s commercial strategy,
long-term interests and financial viability.
The Remuneration Committee shall oversee the Company’s
arrangements in respect of salary and other remuneration to
help ensure the alignment of interests of the Management and
shareholders.
Any performance-related remuneration shall be subject to an
absolute limit.
The Corporate Governance Code recommends that the Company
prepares a report on remuneration to executive management
on an annual basis, in accordance with the Norwegian Public
Limited Liability Companies Act section 6-16 b. The Company is
not required under Bermuda law to prepare a report on remuner-
ation to executive management. At present, the Company does
not consider it necessary to prepare a report on remuneration to
executive management but will assess whether to prepare such
report going forward.
12. Information and communications
The Board has adopted Instructions for the Contact Person with
the Oslo Stock Exchange and an Investor Relations Policy, which
set forth the Company’s disclosure obligations and procedures.
The Board will seek to ensure that market participants receive
correct, clear, relevant and up-to-date information in a timely
manner, taking into account the requirement for equal treatment
of all participants in the securities market.
The Company shall have procedures for establishing discussions
with its main shareholders to enable the Board to develop a
balanced understanding of the circumstances and focus of such
shareholders. Such discussions shall be undertaken in compliance
with the provisions of applicable laws and regulations All informa
-
tion distributed to the Company’s shareholders will be published on
the Company’s website at the same time as it is sent to shareholders.
13. Takeovers
In the event the Company becomes the subject of a takeover bid,
the Board shall seek to ensure that the Company’s shareholders are
treated equally, and that the Company’s business is not unneces-
sarily interrupted. The Board shall also ensure that the shareholders
have sufficient information and time to assess any such offer.
Bermuda law does not provide for a takeover code governing acqui-
sition of Bermuda-registered listed companies.
The Company’s Bye-laws contain the following defensive measures
that are intended to hinder a hostile acquisition of shares in the
Company:
• The creation of new shares from undesignated share rights
that would enable the Company to issue such new shares with
enhanced voting or economic shares, by Board action only, in the
case of a hostile approach
• Giving the Company the right to demand information from regis-
tered shareholders as to the beneficial interests in shares and to
suspend share rights in the case of failure to disclose interests
• The shareholder approval required to approve a merger/ amal-
gamation is increased from simple majority to 75%, if the merger/
amalgamation is not approved by the Board
• The shareholder approval required to approve a migration of the
company out of Bermuda, if not approved by the Board is increased
from a simple majority to 75%
Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023
4242 GovernanceGovernance | Corporate GovernanceGovernance | Corporate Governance
• Cumulative voting applies to the election of Board members to
create an increased power for minority shareholders to secure
representation on the Board
• Procedural requirements to the appointment of a director
proposed by a shareholder, and not the Board
• Directors can only be removed by shareholders by a 75% majority
vote
• The threshold shareholder vote for an amendment of the Bye-laws
is increased from a simple majority to 75% shareholder approval.
However, the Board has not established written guiding principles
for how it will act in the event of a takeover bid, as such situations
are normally characterised by concrete and one-off situations
which make a guideline challenging to prepare.
In the event a takeover offer were to be made, the Board will
consider the relevant recommendations in the Corporate
Governance Code and whether the concrete situation entails that
the recommendations in the Corporate Governance Code can be
complied with.
14. Auditor
The Board will require the Company’s auditor to annually
present to the Audit Committee a review of the Company’s
internal control procedures (including weaknesses identified
by the auditor and proposals for improvement) and submit
the main features of the plan for the audit of the Company. On
31 December 2023, the external auditor of the Company was
KPMG Auditores Independentes Ltda.
Furthermore, the Board will require the Company’s auditor to
participate in meetings of the Board that deal with the annual
financial statements, in which the auditor shall report on (i) any
material changes in the Company’s accounting principles and
key aspects of the audit, (ii) any material estimated accounting
figures and (iii) all material matters which have been subject to a
disagreement between the auditor and the Management, if any.
The Audit Committee shall review and monitor the independence
of the Company’s auditor, including in particular the extent to
which services other than auditing provided by the auditor or the
audit firm represents a threat to the independence of the auditor.
The remuneration of the auditor for statutory audit will be set
by the Board subject to authorisation by the annual general
meeting.

Reporting on
payments to
governments
This report is prepared in accordance with the Norwegian
Accounting Act Section § 3-3 d and the Securities Trading Act §
5-5a which stipulates that companies engaged in activities within
the extractive industries shall annually prepare and publish a
report containing information about their payments to govern-
ments at country and project level. The Ministry of Finance has
issued a regulation (F20.12.2013 no. 1682) stipulating that the
reporting obligation only applies to reporting entities above a
certain size and to payments above certain threshold amounts.
In addition, the regulation stipulates that the report shall include
other information than payments to governments, as included in
section 6 of this report, and it provides more detailed rules appli-
cable to definitions, publication and group reporting.
The reportable payments are defined in the regulation
(F20.12.2013 nr 1682) §3. The management of Seacrest Petroleo
has applied judgment in the interpretation of the regulation
regarding the type of payments to be included in the reporting
and on what level it should be reported. When payments are
required to be reported on a project-by-project basis, it is reported
by license or cluster basis. All activities in Seacrest Petroleo within
the extractive industries are located in Brazil and all the reported
payments below have been made to the Brazilian government.
1. Federal tax in Brazil
The PIS (Program of Social Integration) and COFINS (Contribution
for the Financing of Social Security) are federal taxes based on
the gross revenues of companies in Brazil. The PIS is intended
to finance the unemployment insurance system, and COFINS to
fund Social Security. During 2023, Seacrest Petroleo paid USD 190
000 in PIS and zero in COFINS.
2. Royalties in Brazil
Royalties are payable on production revenue at variable rates
depending on the location of production in Brazil. During 2023,
Seacrest Petroleo paid USD 12 804 000 in royalties on the produc-
tion from the Cricaré Cluster and the Norte Capixaba Cluster in
the state of Espírito Santo.
3. Income tax
Seacrest Petroleo is liable for income taxes on its operations in
Brazil. During 2023, the Company did not pay any income tax
in Brazil as the Company generated a net loss for the period. As
of 31 December 2023, Seacrest Petroleo had recognised USD 45
320 000 in deferred tax assets in its balance sheet and will utilise a
tax loss carry forward to offset future tax costs in Brazil.
Under current Bermuda law, Seacrest Petroleo is not required to
pay tax in Bermuda on either income or capital gains.

sions (the “Cricaré Cluster”) to SPE Cricaré. On December 29, 2021, the last
required regulatory approval was obtained, and SPE Cricaré completed
the acquisition of the Cricaré Cluster. The Group began its operation of the
Cricaré Cluster in January 2022.
On 9 December 2021, the Group acquired a 100% interest in Seacrest
Petróleo SPE Norte Capixaba Ltda. (“SPE Norte Capixaba”) from the
individuals Leonardo Luis do Carmo and Cristina da Silva Camargo.
SPE Norte Capixaba was an off-the-shelf Brazilian company and it has
a fully subscribed and paid-up capital of USD 18.00, represented by one
hundred (100) shares, with a nominal value of USD 0.18 each.
On 30 December 2021, Seacrest Petróleo S.A. (formerly known as Seacrest
Exploração e Produção de Petróleo Ltda.), a subsidiary of the Group,
pursuant to a shareholders agreement dated April 17, 2020, exercised a call
option, for USD 1,000, over 50.1% (49.9% at December 31, 2020) of the shares
held by Karavan Oil e Gás Participações e Consultoria Ltda in SPE Cricaré,
and the name of SPE Cricaré was changed to Seacrest SPE Cricaré S.A.
On 23 February 2022, SPE Norte Capixaba entered into a purchase
agreement with Petrobras to acquire four onshore oil concessions with
integrated facilities, located in the state of Espírito Santo, collectively
referred to as the Norte Capixaba Cluster. The transaction was finalized
in April 2023 for a total consideration of USD 528.5 million.
The Norte Capixaba Cluster is made up of four onshore fields: Cancã,
Fazenda Alegre, Fazenda São Rafael and Fazenda Santa Luzia, The
Terminal Norte Capixaba and all production facilities contained in the
ring fence of the four concessions also form the Norte Capixaba Cluster,
as well as the ownership of some plots of land.
In February 2023, the Company raised approximately NOK 2,662 million
(equivalent to USD 260 million) in gross proceeds through the allocation
of 443,666,666 new shares in an initial public offering. The Offer Shares
were priced at NOK 6 per Offer Share.
In December 2023, the Company raised approximately NOK 280 million
(equivalent to USD 25.6 million) in gross proceeds through the allocation
of 31,111,111 new shares in private placement.
The Company currently trades on the Oslo Børs exchange in Norway
(Ticker: SEAPT).
The Group’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on
a going concern basis. As of 31 December 2023, the Company had accu
-
mulated losses of USD 219 796 520 (USD 140 458 301 in December 2022),
operating cash flow of negative USD 10 470 053 (negative USD 38 331 742
in 2022), in addition to loss for the year of USD 79 338 219 (USD 119 171 582
in 2022). Management knows that this is expected for oil exploration and
production companies with recently acquired assets, considering the
high investments and expenses incurred in the pre-operational phase.
The Company just recently started operations and expects improve
-
ment in financial indicators as the operation is optimized, with material
gains expected in 2024. The Company has an aggressive investment
plan to increase production via new wells and capital improvements
to existing wells. Oil production is expective to increase significantly in
2024. It is important to emphasize that the Company has significant
reserves and contracts signed for the sale of oil produced in the fields
guaranteeing incoming cash flows for the oil it produces. The Company
engages an independent third party, Degolyer and MacNaughton, to
analyze reserves. In their latest reserves report, PDP (proved, developed,
producing) production for 2024 is estimated at 1,917,000 bbls, resulting
in a net present value of $78,559,800. This is a conservative view, given
Management’s targets are well in excess of PDP, but as a base, this
supports strong profitability in the preceding 12 months. Through opera
-
tions in 2024, alongside current cash reserves, management will honour
their term obligations.
Management has not identified any relevant uncertainty about the
Company’s ability to continue its activities over the next 12 months.

Note 2 Basis of preparation
2.1 Statement of compliance
These consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial state
-
ments were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on 24 April 2024.
2.2 Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency.
2.3 Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions
are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.
2.3.1 Judgments
The information on judgments made on the application of accounting policies that have relevant effects over
values recognized in the consolidated financial statements are being included on the following notes:
•
Note 11 – Acquisition of Cricaré and Norte Capixaba Clusters as acquisitions of assets and not a business and
the estimate of the extension likelihood of the concession agreements.
2.3.2 Uncertainties on assumptions and estimates
Information on uncertainties related to assumptions and estimates that pose a significant risk of resulting in a
material adjustment in balances of both assets and liabilities for the next year are included on the following notes:
•
Note 10 – Property, Plant and Equipment (estimated useful lives of the assets)
•
Note 10 – Property, Plant and Equipment – Provision for decommissioning (discount rate for calculating
present value and estimate future decommissioning costs)
•
Note 16 – The fair value of contingent payments that are affected by the future exchange rate and the proba-
bility of contingent events occurring.
•
Note 25 – The fair value of derivative instruments that are affected by the future exchange rates and by the
future Brent oil prices.
2.4 Basis of consolidation
2.4.1 Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group
is exposed to, or has rights over the variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those
returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is
transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
2.4.2 Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intragroup balances and transactions, and any other unrealized revenues or expenses derived from transactions
within the group are eliminated. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only
up to the extension in which there is no evidence of loss due to impairment.

Note 3 Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to
all periods presented in these consolidated annual financial statements.
3.1 Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currency are those that are made in currencies
other than the Group’s functional currency, and they are translated
into the respective functional currencies of Group companies at rates
of exchange on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date have been
translated to the functional currency at rates on the reporting date.
Foreign currency differences are generally recognized in profit or loss
and presented within finance costs. Non-monetary items that are
measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at
the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
3.2 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment items are measured on historical acquisi-
tion cost. Accumulated depreciation and any retained losses are deducted
from the impairment, when applicable. Except for the exploration and
production assets, depreciation is recognized over the estimated useful
life of each asset on a straight-line basis so that the cost value minus its
residual value post-useful life is completely written-off. The estimated
useful life, the residual values and the depreciation methods are revised
at the end of each fiscal year and the effect of any changes on these
estimates is prospectively accounted for. Exploration and production
asset depreciation is calculated through a unit of production method and
recognized in the statement of profit or loss. The estimated useful lives of
the property, plant and equipment assets are the following:
•
Facilities – 10 years;
•
Machinery and equipment – units of production method;
•
Steam generating units – units of production method;
•
Vehicles – 5 years;
•
IT equipment – 5 years.
3.3 Intangible assets
The Group presents, in its intangible assets, expenditure on the acqui-
sition of exploration concessions for extracting oil or natural gas. Those
are also recorded at acquisition cost, adjusted, when applicable, to their
recoverable amount and proven reserves will be amortized using the
unit of production method.
3.4 Inventories
Inventories, except for crude oil inventories, are recorded at the lower
of cost and net realizable value. Production costs comprise fixed and
variable costs, directly and indirectly attributed to production. Costs are
aggregated to inventory items based on weighted average cost. Crude
oil inventory is valued at production cost, including depreciation and
includes import obligations, transportation, handling, and other costs
directly attributable to the acquisition of products and materials. On the
reporting, the value of inventories is evaluated, and a provision for losses
with obsolete or slow-moving inventory may be recognized. Write-offs
and reversals are recognized as “cost of sales”.
3.5 Financial instruments
3.5.1 Financial assets
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost, or fair value through
profit or loss (“FVTPL”).
This classification is based on the characteristics of contractual cash flow
and the business model to manage the asset.
The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets
were acquired.
Management determines the classification of its financial assets at
initial recognition. On 31 December 2023, the Group financial assets are
represented as:
•
Cash and cash equivalents
•
Securities
•
Accounts receivable with related parties
3.5.2 Impairment of financial assets
Expected credit losses are assessed using an impairment model and are
applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost.
The provisions for expected losses will be measured on one of the
following bases:
•
Expected credit losses for 12 months, i.e., credit losses that result
from potential default events within 12 months after the reporting
date; and
•
Lifetime expected credit losses, i.e., credit losses that result from all
possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
The measurement of lifetime expected credit losses applies if the credit
risk of a financial asset on the reporting date has increased significantly
since its initial recognition, and the 12-month credit loss measurement
applies if the risk has not increased significantly since its initial recog
-
nition. The Group determines that the credit risk of a financial asset
has not increased significantly if the asset has low credit risk on the
reporting date.
As of 31 December 2023, the Group did not find material evidence of
impairment of these financial assets.
Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023Seacrest Petroleo Annual Report 2023
5555 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements
3.5.3 Financial liabilities
The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities in the category of
other financial liabilities. Such financial liabilities are initially recognized
at fair value plus any transaction costs directly assignable. After the
initial recognition, these financial liabilities are recognized at amortized
cost using the effective interest rate method. The interest expenses and
exchange profit and loss are recognized in the profit or loss.
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obliga
-
tion is withdrawn, cancelled or expires. The Group also derecognizes a
financial liability when the terms are modified and the cash flows of the
modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial
liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. Any gain
or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
On 31 December 2023, the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities
were represented by:
•
Supplier and other accounts payable
•
Accounts payable with related parties
•
Financial loans with related parties
•
Financial loans
•
Leases payable
•
Contingent consideration
•
Derivatives financial instruments
•
Derivatives financial instruments with related parties
3.6 Impairment of non-financial assets
On every reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its
non-financial assets and inventories to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If any indication occurs, the recoverable value
of the assets is estimated.
For impairment tests, assets are grouped into Cash Generating Units
(CGUs), that is, into the smallest possible group of assets that generate
cash inflows through their continued use, inflows that are largely inde
-
pendent of the inflows from other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable value of an asset or CGU is the higher of its value in use
and its fair value less cost of disposal. Value in use is based on estimated
future cash flows, discounted to present value using a discount rate less
taxes, that reflects current market estimates of the value of money in
time and specific risks of assets or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the book value of the asset or CGU
exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Losses recognized
related to CGUs are allocated to the book value of assets of the CGU (or
group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis. For other assets, an impairment loss
is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
3.7 Derivative financial instruments
The Group may use derivative financial instruments to manage certain
exposures to fluctuations in oil and gas prices and foreign currency
exchange rates. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recog
-
nised at fair value on the date of which a derivative contract is entered
into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through profit and
loss. Hedge accounting is not applied. For derivative financial instru
-
ments where the underlying is a commodity, changes in fair value are
recognized as part of operating activities. Changes in fair values for other
derivative financial instruments are classified as part of financial activities.
3.8 Provisions
A provision is recognized if, because of a past event, the Group has a
present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably,
and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation.
Provisions are calculated by discounting the expected future net cash
flows at a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the
time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
3.9 Share based payments
The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment
arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as an
expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting
period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted
to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and
non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that
the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards
that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions
at the vesting date.
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the
grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to
reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between
expected and actual outcomes.
Where equity settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair
value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the consolidated
statement of profit or loss over the vesting period.
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they
vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately
before and after the modification, is also charged to the consolidated
statement of profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.
3.10 Financial income and expenses
and exchange variation, net
Financial income represents interest income, yields from securities,
discounts, other financial income and monetary and foreign exchange
rate variations.
Financial costs represent bank expenses, interest, late payment charges,
other financial costs and monetary and foreign exchange rate variations.
Financial income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis when
ascertained or incurred by the Group.

3.11 Lease
At the inception of a contract, the Group evaluates whether the contract
is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys
the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration.
As a lessee
At the inception or amendment of a contract containing a lease compo-
nent, the Group allocates the lease consideration to be paid, to each
lease and non-lease component based on their individual prices.
The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the
lease inception date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost,
which is the initial lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at
inception, plus any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee and an esti
-
mate of the costs to be incurred by the lessee to disassemble and remove
the underlying asset, by returning it to the place where it is located or
returning the underlying asset to the state required under the lease
terms and conditions, less any lease incentives received accordingly.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line
method from the start date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease
transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee at the end of
lease term, or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the lessee will
exercise the call option, In this case, the right-of-use asset will be depreci
-
ated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on
the same basis as that of property, plant and equipment. Moreover, the
right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and
adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future
lease payments and discounted using the interest rate implicit in the
lease or, if that rate cannot be immediately determined, the incremental
borrowing rate for the Group. Generally, the Group uses its incremental
borrowing rate as the discount rate.
The Group sets its incremental rate on loans by obtaining interest rates
from a number of external funding sources and making some adjust
-
ments to reflect the contract terms and the type of leased asset.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability
comprise the following:
•
fixed payments,
•
variable lease payments based on an index or rate;
•
amounts expected to be paid by the lessee, in accordance with the
residual value guarantees; and
•
the call option strike price if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise
such option, and payments of fines due to termination of the lease
agreement, if the term of the lease reflects the fact that the lessee is
exercising their option to terminate the lease agreement.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method, It is remeasured when a change occurs in future lease
payments as a result of a change in an index or rate, if there is a change
in the amounts expected to be paid in accordance with the residual
value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment to exercise a call
option, extend or terminate it.
When the lease liability is thus remeasured, an adjustment corre
-
sponding to the book value of the right-of-use asset is made or recorded
in income (loss) if the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero.
As the basis for determining future lease payments changes, as required
by the Benchmark Interest Rate Reform, the Group reassesses the lease
liability by discounting the revised lease payments using the revised
discount rate that reflects the change to an alternative benchmark
interest rate.
Low-value asset leases
The Group opted not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
for low-value and short-term leases, The Group records lease payments
in connection with these leases as expenses on a straight-line basis
based on the term of the lease.
3.12 Provision for decommissioning costs
Restoration costs are a normal consequence of operating in the oil and
gas industry. In determining an appropriate provision level, consideration
is given to the expected costs to be incurred, the timing of these expected
costs, the estimated future inflation level and the appropriate discount rate.
The ultimate costs of restoration are uncertain and may vary according to
several factors, including changes in relevant legal and legislative require
-
ments, the emergence of new restoration techniques, or experience in
other fields. The expected timing for expenses may also change. Changes in
any of the estimates could result in a significant change in the provisioning
level required, which, in turn, would impact future results.
The provision is recorded as part of the cost of the respective property,
plant and equipment, at its present value, discounted at a risk-free
rate, being fully recorded upon the declaration of commercialization
of each field and its recognition. The provision is reviewed annually by
Management, adjusting the amounts of assets and liabilities already
recorded. Reviews to the calculation basis of expense estimates
are recognized as cost of property, plant and equipment and the
accounting effects arising from changes in financial assumptions such
as discount rates used in the calculation of future liabilities are directly
allocated to income (loss) for the year.

3.13 Revenues
Revenue recognition is done in accordance with IFRS 15, which estab-
lishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether and when a
revenue is recognized, and how it is measured.
The revenue is recognized when the purchaser obtains control of the
goods or services.
The Group’s revenues arise from oil sales. Revenue is measured based
on the consideration specified in the contract with the purchaser and
it is recognized if: (i) risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have
been transferred to the purchaser; (ii) it is probable that the financial
economic benefits will flow to the Group; (iii) costs associated and
potential return of products can be reliably estimated; (iv) there is no
continued involvement with the products sold; and (v) the amount of
revenue can be reliably measured, When applicable, revenue is meas
-
ured net of returns and commercial discounts,
The Group recognizes its revenues when it meets its performance
obligation, transferring the promised good or service to the purchaser.
The Group has entered into off-take contracts with Mercuria for the
Cricaré oil and the Norte Capixaba oil. One of the offtake agreements
applies to sales of crude oil that qualifies as very low sulphur fuel oil
(VLSFO) (the Product 1 Offtake Agreement), and the other applies
to crude oil that does not qualify as VLSFO (the Product 2 Offtake
Agreement).
Both Cricare, and Norte Capixaba, are currently selling their oil locally
in Brazil. Counterparties to the sales have been Petrobras and REAM
(Refinaria de Amazonia). The large majority of future sales are antici
-
pated to be made to Mercuria under the Product 1Offtake Agreement
based on the Rotterdam rate of 0.5% Marine Fuel. Mercuria markets
the crude oil sold under the Product 2 Offtake Agreement, but has the
ability to purchase such oil itself.
Title and risk to take the oil is transferred at the flange when the oil exits
the Terminal Norte Capixaba (TNC) and is loaded into a vessel. Payment
is typically due within 15 days after loading but may be made earlier.

On 21 December 2021, Mercuria Energy Trading S.A. and SPE Cricaré entered into a senior facility agreement, with a principal
amount of USD 35 000 000 and a maturity date of 27 September 2027, with the loans bearing compound interest of 12% plus USD
LIBOR per year. Although the USD LIBOR is to be discontinued, Management does not expect a material impact, since the facility
agreement provides for a similar reference interest rate. The loan was repaid in April 2023.

On 21 December 2021, Mercuria Energy Trading S.A. and SPE Cricaré entered into a junior facility agreement, with a principal
amount of USD 10 000 000 and a maturity date of 21 June 2027, with the loans bearing compound interest of 15% plus USD LIBOR
per year. Although the USD LIBOR is to be discontinued, Management does not expect a material impact, since the facility agree-
ment provides for a similar reference interest rate. The loan was repaid in April 2023.

On 22 February 2022, the Company issued convertible loan notes in the principal amount of USD 15 million to Mercuria (the
“Notes”). The Notes were scheduled to mature in 2025 and bear interest at a fixed rate that steps up on an annual basis: 10% for
the first year of the Notes’ term, 12.5% for the second year and 15% for the third year. The proceeds of the Notes were used to pay
a portion of the deposit owed by SPE Norte Capixaba to Petrobras under the purchase agreement for the Norte Capixaba acqui-
sition. The Notes provided for automatic conversion into the Company’s shares immediately prior to the closing of a public share
offering. The number of shares to be converted will be determined on the settlement date considering the share price, which is not
under the Company’s control. Therefore, the instrument was classified as a financial liability measured at fair value.
4
The Notes, including accrued interest, were mandatorily converted into shares on 20 February 2023 which was immediately prior
to the closing of the Offering. The number of shares into which the Notes were convertible was based on a discount to the Offer
Price, as determined by a formula set out in the Notes. Considering the Offer Price, conversion of the Notes resulted in an issuance
of 39 756 951 new shares in the Company at a subscription price of NOK 5.10 per share.
5
As consideration for Mercuria facilitating the financing of the Company’s acquisition of the Cricaré Cluster and the signing of the
purchase agreement with Petrobras for the Norte Capixaba acquisition, the Company issued the following warrants to Mercuria
Asset Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited:
i. a warrant instrument exercisable in respect of common shares representing 1% of the Company’s fully diluted share capital at
the time of exercise (“Mercuria Warrant 1”);
ii. a warrant instrument exercisable in respect of common shares representing 2% of the Company’s fully diluted share capital at
the time of exercise, with such warrant only exercisable if the Norte Capixaba acquisition is not completed or the Company sells
the Cricaré Cluster at a time when it does not own the Norte Capixaba Cluster (“Mercuria Warrant 2”); and
iii. a warrant instrument exercisable in respect of 1,302,246 common shares, representing 1% of the Company’s fully diluted share
capital at 15 February 2022 (“Mercuria Warrant 3”).
Warrant 1 was exercised on 23 February 2022 and Mercuria Asset Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited received 1 302 245 of the
Company’s Shares. Mercuria Warrant 2 became obsolete in April 2023 once the Company executed the acquisition of the Norte
Capixaba Cluster (April 2023). Warrant 3 was exercised on 23 February 2023 and Mercuria Energy Group Limited received 1 302 246
of the Company’s Shares..
On 23 December 2022, Mercuria Asset Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited transferred 100% of its interests in the Notes, Mercuria
Warrant 2 and Mercuria Warrant 3, as well as all its Shares in the Company, to Mercuria Energy Group Limited, a Cyprus company.
6
In April 2023 the Company entered into a credit agreement with Morgan Stanley and a syndicate of other lenders (the “New Credit
Agreement”). As part of that transaction, the loans made by Mercuria under the senior facility agreement and junior facility agree-
ment were acquired by the lenders party to the New Credit Agreement and restructured as part of the New Credit Agreement.

Provision for decommissioning costs
The future obligation for the abandonment of assets was estimated based on the Group’s interest in (i) all oil
wells and facilities, (ii) the estimated plugging and restoration costs for these wells and facilities, and (iii) the
estimate of future adjustments to these costs.
On 31 December 2023 the estimated amount required in order to meet asset abandonment obligations is
USD 41.0 million (2022: USD 27.9 million), which is in accordance with what is prescribed in the contract and on
the Annual Working Plan and Budget (PAT) sent to the ANP, which will be incurred over the remaining useful
lives of the wells. This amount is amortized into the consolidated profit or loss. The obligation was revised at
based on revised requirements approved by the ANP.
The abandonment obligations costs recorded as of 31 December 2023 were projected based on the corre
-
sponding cash flows, adjusted by a risk-free rate and average market interest rate of 5.69% p.a. (Seacrest Norte
Capixaba) and 5.71% p.a. (Seacrest Cricaré).

Impairment assessment
On 31 December 2023 (and as at 31 December 2022), the Group’s management did not identify any triggering
event to perform the test of cash-generating unit’s recoverable value

Note 11 Intangible assets
The Group’s intangible assets refers to the value of the Concession Asset of 100% of the Cricaré Cluster, pursuant
to the purchase contract signed between SPE Cricaré and Petrobras on 27 August 2020.
The addition during the year to the Company’s intangible assets refers to the value of the 100% concession asset
of the Capixaba North Pole Cluster, acquired on 12 April 2023, pursuant to the contract signed by Norte Capixaba
with Petrobras.
It was concluded that the integrated set of assets and activities acquired does not qualify as a “business”, due to
the lack of a substantive process that would link the inputs in the acquisition (the concession contracts acquired
and fixed assets) to the outputs (oil produced).
The Norte Capixaba Cluster was already producing oil on the date of acquisition, but the inputs acquired did not
include the workforce and, therefore, it was considered that it was not a business combination, but rather an
acquisition of assets.
Management then went through the process of identifying the individual assets and liabilities acquired in the
transaction on the acquisition date and performed an assessment of their value based on their relative fair values
at the acquisition date.
The Norte Capixaba Cluster began operations in the 90s, however it is expected to be economically productive
until 2059. Norte Capixaba’s concession contracts signed with the ANP for the concession rights related to the
4 fields, known as the Norte Capixaba Cluster, will expire between 2025 and 2052. By recognizing this intangible
asset and realizing the value of the reserves assigned to the asset, Management has exercised professional
judgment to come to the conclusion that it is highly likely that certain concessions will be extended (given that it
will be in the best interest of all parties to the concession that the contracts be extended).
On 9 May 2023, the ANP Collegiate Board of Directors approved the assignment of the transfer of 100% (one
hundred percent) of the Inhambu field from the Cricaré Cluster to Norte Capixaba Cluster.

Amortization is calculated on the basis of the units-produced method in respect of proven reserves. These
reserves are estimated by the Group’s geologists and engineers in accordance with international standards and
are reviewed annually or when there is indication of significant changes. Operation of the Cricaré assets by the
Group commenced in 2022 while operation of the Norte Capixaba assets commenced in 2023.

On 22 February 2022, the Company issued convertible loan notes in the principal amount of USD 3 million to OMVK and USD 15 million
to Mercuria (the “Notes”). The Notes matured in 2025 and bore interest at a fixed rate that steps up on an annual basis: 10% for the first
year of the Notes’ term, 12.5% for the second year and 15% for the third year. The proceeds of the Notes were used to pay a portion of the
deposit owed by SPE Norte Capixaba to Petrobras under the purchase agreement for the Norte Capixaba acquisition. The Notes were
automatically converted into the Company’s shares immediately prior to the closing of a public share offering.
2
The Notes were mandatorily converted into shares on 20 February 2023 which was immediately prior to the closing of the Offering. The
number of shares into which the Notes were convertible was based on a discount to the Offer Price, as determined by a formula set out
in the Notes. Considering the Offer Price, conversion of the Notes resulted in an issuance of 6 556 345 new shares in the Company at a
subscription price of NOK 5.10 per share.

On 3 February 2023, Seacrest SPE Cricaré and Seacrest Petróleo SPE Norte Capixaba Ltda., as borrowers, and Seacrest Petróleo S.A.,
Seacrest Petroleo Cricare Bermuda Limited and Seacrest Uruguay S.A., as guarantors, entered into a syndicated credit agreement dated
3 February 2023 (the “New Credit Agreement”) with five banks in Brazil led by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. as lead arranger.
On 10 April 2023, the loans under the Mercuria Junior Facility Agreement and the Mercuria Senior Facility Agreement were acquired
by the lenders and thereafter restructured under the New Credit Agreement (the “Restructured Indebtedness”) into a single tranche
loan in the aggregate principal amount of USD 45 million. Each lender purchased and assumed the amounts outstanding under the
Restructured Indebtedness in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the New Credit Agreement. Following the purchase,
the Junior Facility Agreement and the Senior Facility Agreement were amended and restated in their entirety on the terms set out in
the New Credit Agreement, i.e., the Restructured Indebtedness will continue and remain outstanding and be governed by and subject
only to the terms and conditions set forth in the New Credit Agreement.
An additional loan tranche was made available to SPE Norte Capixaba on 10 April 2023 in the aggregate principal amount of USD 255
million, which was used by SPE Norte Capixaba on 12 April 2023 to pay the balance of the purchase price owed to Petrobras for the Norte
Capixaba acquisition. Accordingly, together with the Restructured Indebtedness, the total amount drawn up under the New Credit
Agreement was USD 300 million, which the borrowers will repay from the proceeds of export of hydrocarbons.
In accordance with the terms of the New Credit Agreement, the lenders received USD 12 051 463 in fees, which will be amortized over
the life of the loan. USD 2 185 636 was amortized during 2023.

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares each have a par value of USD 0.00002 and 700 000 000 (200 000 000 in 2022) shares have been
authorised. The Group issued 468 601 709 thus far in 2023 (71 003 918 in 2022) shares and each ordinary share
carries one vote.
In February 2023, the Company raised approximately NOK 2 662 million (equivalent to USD 260 million) in gross
proceeds through the allocation of 443 666 666 new common shares in the Offering. The Offer Shares were
priced at NOK 6 per Offer Share. This included an overallotment of 40 333 333 shares which subsequently repur
-
chased resulting in net shares issued of 403 333 333.
The convertible loan notes (the “Notes”) issued by the Company were mandatorily converted into shares on
20 February 2023 which was immediately prior to the closing of the Offering. The number of shares into which
the Notes were convertible was based on a discount to the Offer Price, as determined by a formula set out in the
Notes. Considering the Offer Price, conversion of the Notes resulted in an issuance of 39 756 951 new shares in
the Company at a subscription price of NOK 5.10 per share.
The Company’s Series A shares were mandatorily converted into common shares on 20 February 2023 which

per Series A share equal to 1.6 times the Series A share issue price of USD 0.57142857, equal to approximately
NOK 9.35 (the “Series A Minimum Return”), the 39 372 384 Series A shares did not convert into common shares
on a 1 for 1 basis prior to the admission to trading of the shares. Instead, the Series A shareholders received a total
of 61 521 338 common shares upon the conversion of the Series A shares. Of these, 22 148 954 were additional
common shares so that the Series A shareholders achieved the Series A Minimum Return. Upon the conversion
of the Series A shares, the Company issued and delivered such additional common shares to the Series A share
-
holders’ respective VPS accounts.
On 28 February 2023 the Board approved a reverse stock split whereby shareholder would receive one common
share for two owned. This resulted in the number of total shares issued reducing to 327 263 932, and the par value
of the common shares changing from USD 0.00001 to USD 0.00002 per share.
On 6 December 2023 the Company completed a private share placement of 31 111 111 new common shares which
in turn raised gross proceeds of USD 25.6 million (equal to approx. NOK 280 million).

The Group has granted share options to selected employees. Total options issued to each individual were divided
into tranches. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the options in cash.
The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The significant inputs into the
model were: share price at the grant date, exercise prices per share and volatility. The volatility measured at the
standard deviation of continuously compounded share returns was based on statistical analysis of the daily share
prices of two comparable quoted share over a period of one year.
In February 2023 the total options were adjusted as a result of the Company’s reverse stock split (Note 17.1). Also,
during the year ended 31 December 2023, 1 205 112 options were converted to common shares and 4 214 992 options
were cancelled leaving 9 436 250 share options outstanding as at 31 December 2023.

arising from the share options issuance is USD 59 835 (USD 1 999 513 for the year ended 31 December 2022). The
cost associated with issuing new options has been partially offset by a negative adjustment associated with the
cancelation / conversion adjustment of previous issued share options.

Note 23 Income tax and social contribution
Under current Bermuda law, the Group is not required to pay tax in Bermuda on either income or capital gains.
The Group is subject to Brazilian tax through the operation of its subsidiaries in Brazil.
Income tax and social contribution (current and deferred) are calculated according to interpretations of the
legislation in force. This process typically involves complex estimates to determine taxable profit and “temporary
differences”. Temporary differences refer to a Brazilian tax requirement whereby the Group is required to adjust
its tax calculation to exclude items that have not yet been realized on a cash basis.
The deferred income tax and social contribution recorded reflect the future tax effects attributable to the tempo
-
rary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their respective book values. The Group will
have a carry forward tax loss as part of the deferred tax asset recognized as at 31 December 2023 and it will used
to offset future tax costs.

The expected use of deferred tax assets from tax losses and negative base and temporary differences as at
31 December 2023 was based on projections for taxable income, considering financial and operational impacts, as
well as the volume of the Company’s proven reserves, attested by an independent company. The increase during
the current period is a result of increased losses as well as a favourable tax adjustment attributed to the transfer
of the Inhambu field from Cricare to Norte Capixaba.
The balance of deferred assets is expected to be realised as follows:

The book value of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value is a reasonable approximation of the
fair value.
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method.
The different levels have been defined as follows:
•
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
•
Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
•
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs)
(level 3).

The aforementioned relates to a certificate of deposit held at a bank in Brazil. The Group is exposed to credit,
market, credit and liquidity risk and works to ensure that all significant risks are identified and managed. Risks
are usually grouped by risk type: financial, including credit, liquidity and market. The risk factors mentioned
below should not be regarded as a complete and comprehensive statement of all potential risks and uncertainty.
25.1 Credit risk
Credit risk is the exposure that a counter-party to a financial instrument is unable to meet an obligation, thereby
causing a financial loss to the Group. The cause of fluctuations in credit risk arise from the credit quality of the
Group’s counterparties at contract date and the resultant detoriation/improvement in credit quality of such
counterparties. The Group manages this credit risk by performing due diligence on any party with which it
intends to enter into a contractual agreement. In order to mitigate credit risk the Group keeps its resources in
financial institutions whose liquidity is acknowledged. This process is managed on an ongoing basis.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of financial assets, and
management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties. The Groups credits
risks are in the following accounts
•
Cash and cash equivalents (Note 4)
•
Securities (Note 5)
•
Accounts receivable with related parties (Note 7)
25.2 Market risks
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of
changes in market factors. Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign exchange risk (currency risk), market
prices (price risk) and market interest rate risk (interest rate risk). The Group uses derivative instruments to
manage it exposure to market risk.
The derivatives positions held stem from risk in relation to foreign currency and commodity risk. The origin of the
foreign currency risk is a Real denominated operating cost base with revenues denominated in United States
Dollar. Thus, the Group is exposed to the risk of a strengthening Real. To protect against this risk, the Group has
entered into Foreign Currency Forwards. The origin of the commodity risk is a revenue base priced at Brent
Crude, as such, the Group is exposed to the risk of a price decrease in Brent Crude. To protect against this risk, the
Group has entered into a Commodity Price Swap.
The following presents the summary of derivative positions held by the company as at 31 December 2023 :

A sensitivity analysis of the derivative financial instruments has been performed. The base level of the sensitivity
are the market prices used in the fair value positions disclosed for the related instruments. The base level for the
NDF, is the USD/BRL forward curve at reporting date, and the base level for the Swap is the Brent Crude Futures
Curve at reporting date. The amounts have been sensitized as follows:

The possible and remote scenarios reflect the potential effect on the result of outstanding transactions, consid
-
ering an unfavourable variation in market prices, to the extent of increasing the risk factor by 25% and 50%,
respectively.
Foreign exchange risks
The Group is exposed to currency risk on payments denominated in currencies other than the functional
currency. Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions or recorded assets or liabilities are
denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency.
The Group has subsidiaries located in Brasil, Uruguay, Norway and the United Kingdom and is therefore exposed
to foreign exchange risks.
The Group’s loans and receivables are USD denominated in Brasil however the Group does hold cash and
marketable securities in BRL which are subject to foreign exchange risk as follows:

At 31 December 2023, the Group’s Norwegian subsidiary had a NOK denominated bank account balance of the
equivalent of USD 0.3 million. If the Norwegian Krone had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the U.S. dollar
with all other variables held constant, then the total comprehensive gain or loss for the year would have been
USD 26 546 (2022: nil) higher/lower.
The Group’s subsidiaries in Uruguay, and the United Kingdom have no assets or liabilities denominated in a
foreign currency and therefore are not exposed to any credit risk.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to fluctuations in the Brazilian Real. See a
summary of open positions at 31 December 2023 above in Note 25.2.
Interest rate risks
This is the risk of a financial instrument fair value changes due to changes in the market’s interest rate.
In 2022, the Group held three loans ((a) and (b)) with Mercuria Energy Trading and the loans are subject to an interest
rate of 12% to 15% in addition to USD LIBOR (Note 15). These loans were replaced in 2023 with a new credit facility.
The Group entered into a credit agreement dated 3 February 2023 (the “New Credit Agreement”) with five banks
in Brazil led by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. as lead arranger. The Company also has three short term
credit facilities, two of which are subject to fluctuations in the Brazilian overnight interbank rate (Note 15).
The Group is therefore exposed to interest rate risk on the following loans.

have entered into a series of oil hedges with Mercuria Energy Trading SA in order to mitigate this risk. See a
summary of open positions at 31 December 2023 above in Note 25.2.
25.3 Liquidity risk

is subject to risks related to the timing of offtakes, potentially affecting the timing of payments for product sold,
which as a result could imply liquidity risk. Please refer to the description of risk factors in the Governance section
of this Report.

financial resources to fund its short- and medium-term operations.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts
are gross and undiscounted and include contractual interest payments.

On 22 February 2022, the Company issued convertible loan notes in the principal amount of USD 15 million to Mercuria (the
“Notes”). The Notes mature in 2025 and bear interest at a fixed rate that steps up on an annual basis: 10% for the first year of
the Notes’ term, 12.5% for the second year and 15% for the third year. The proceeds of the Notes were used to pay a portion of
the deposit owed by SPE Norte Capixaba to Petrobras under the purchase agreement for the Norte Capixaba acquisition. The
Notes will be automatically converted into the Company’s shares immediately prior to the closing of a public share offering. The
number of shares to be converted will be determined on the settlement date considering the share price, which is not under the
Company’s control. Therefore, the instrument was classified as a financial liability measured at fair value.
2
As consideration for Mercuria facilitating the financing of the Company’s acquisition of the Cricaré Cluster and the signing of the
purchase agreement with Petrobras for the Norte Capixaba acquisition, the Company issued the following warrants to Mercuria
Asset Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited:
i. a warrant instrument exercisable in respect of common shares representing 1% of the Company’s fully diluted share capital at
the time of exercise (“Mercuria Warrant 1”);
ii. a warrant instrument exercisable in respect of common shares representing 2% of the Company’s fully diluted share capital at
the time of exercise, with such warrant only exercisable if the Norte Capixaba acquisition is not completed or the Company sells
the Cricaré Cluster at a time when it does not own the Norte Capixaba Cluster (“Mercuria Warrant 2”); and
iii. a warrant instrument exercisable in respect of 1,302,246 common shares, representing 1% of the Company’s fully diluted share
capital at 15 February 2022 (“Mercuria Warrant 3”).
Warrant 1 was exercised on 23 February 2022 and Mercuria Asset Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited received 1 302 245 of the
Company’s Shares. Mercuria Warrant 2 became obsolete in April 2023 once the Company executed the acquisition of the Norte
Capixaba Cluster (April 2023). Warrant 3 was exercised on 23 February 2023 and Mercuria Energy Group Limited received 1 302 246
of the Company’s Shares.
On 23 December 2022, Mercuria Asset Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited transferred 100% of its interests in the Notes, Mercuria
Warrant 2 and Mercuria Warrant 3, as well as all its Shares in the Company, to Mercuria Energy Group Limited, a Cyprus company.
3
The Notes, including accrued interest, were mandatorily converted into shares on 20 February 2023 which was immediately prior
to the closing of the Offering. The number of shares into which the Notes were convertible was based on a discount to the Offer
Price, as determined by a formula set out in the Notes. Considering the Offer Price, conversion of the Notes resulted in an issuance
of 39 756 951 new shares in the Company at a subscription price of NOK 5.10 per share.

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares each have a par value of USD 0.00001 and 700 000 000 (200 000 000 in 2022) shares have been
authorised. The Company issued 468 601 709 thus far in 2023 (71 003 918 in 2022) shares and each ordinary share
carries one vote.
In February 2023, the Company raised approximately NOK 2 662 million (equivalent to USD 260 million) in gross
proceeds through the allocation of 443 666 666 new shares in the Offering. The Offer Shares were priced at
NOK 6 per Offer Share. This included an overallotment of 40 333 333 shares which subsequently repurchased
resulting in net shares issued of 403 333 333.
The convertible loan notes (the “Notes”) issued by the Company were mandatorily converted into shares on
20 February 2023 which was immediately prior to the closing of the Offering. The number of shares into which
the Notes were convertible was based on a discount to the Offer Price, as determined by a formula set out in the
Notes. Considering the Offer Price, conversion of the Notes resulted in an issuance of 39 756 951 new shares in
the Company at a subscription price of NOK 5.10 per share.
The Company’s Series A shares were mandatorily converted into common shares on 20 February 2023 which
immediately prior to the closing of the Offering. However, because the Offer Price was below an amount
per Series A share equal to 1.6 times the Series A share issue price of USD 0.57142857, equal to approximately
NOK 9.35 (the “Series A Minimum Return”), the 39 372 384 Series A shares did not convert into common shares
on a 1 for 1 basis prior to the admission to trading of the shares. Instead, the Series A shareholders received a total
of 61 521 338 common shares upon the conversion of the Series A shares. Of these, 22 148 954 were additional
common shares so that the Series A shareholders achieved the Series A Minimum Return. Upon the conversion
of the Series A shares, the Company issued and delivered such additional common shares to the Series A share
-
holders’ respective VPS accounts.
On 28 February 2023 the Board of Directors approved a reverse stock spilt whereby shareholder would receive
one common share for two owned. The resulted in total shares issued reducing to 327 263 932.
On 6 December 2023 the Company completed a private share placement of 31 111 111 new common shares which
in turn raised gross proceeds of USD 25.6 million (equal to approx. NOK 280 million).

8.2 Other reserves
The Company has granted share options to selected employees. Total options issued to each individual were
divided into tranches. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the options in cash.
The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The significant inputs into
the model were: share price at the grant date, exercise prices per and volatility. The volatility measured at the
standard deviation of continuously compounded share returns was based on statistical analysis of the daily share
prices of two comparable quoted share over a period of one year.
In February 2023 the total options were adjusted as a result of the Company’s reverse stock split (Note 17.1). Also,
during the year ended 31 December 2023, 1 205 112 options were converted to common shares and 4 214 992 options
were cancelled leaving 9 436 250 share options outstanding as at 31 December 2023.
Share options outstanding at the end of the year have the following expiry date and exercise prices:

As at 31 December 2023, the weighted average remaining option life was 9.19 years and the total reserve related
to employee options is USD 3 094 446 (2022: 4 300 ,538).
For the period ended 31 December 2023, the expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss
arising from the share options issuance is USD 59 835 (USD 1 999 513 for the year ended 31 December 2022). The
cost associated with issuing new options has been partially offset by a negative adjustment associated with the
cancelation / conversion adjustment of previous issued share options.

Statement of Reserves (unaudited)
Seacrest Petroleo has engaged DeGolyer and MacNaughton for reserve and resource certification. The eval-
uations are based on standard petroleum engineering and evaluation principles according to the Petroleum
Resources Management System (PRMS) approved in 2007 and revised in 2018. The figures represent the best
estimate of proven and probable reserves (2P/P50).
As in all aspects of oil and gas evaluation, there are uncertainties inherent in in the interpretation of engineering
and geoscience data; therefore, conclusions necessarily represent only informed professional judgement.
At Seacrest Petroleo’s request and for the purposes of the report, the estimates of net reserves for 2022 were
proforma and assumed the acquisition of the Norte Capixaba Cluster. The production numbers for 2023 also
include production from this Cluster from 1 January 2023 on a proforma basis. The acquisition of Norte Capixaba
was completed on 12 April 2023.
