Maha Energy AB December Production Volumes

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - The Company's aggregate sales production for the month of December totaled 66,883¹ barrels of oil and 23.980 million scf of gas for a combined average production of approximately 2,286 BOE/day², before royalties and taxes.

An unexpected power outage at the beginning of December at the Tie production facility and routine scheduled maintenance at the local refinery during the Holiday period contributed to a reduction in the total production volumes from the Tie Field during the month.

The previously announced capital program for 2018 continues to temporarily affect production from the Tartaruga Field and will continue to do so until the work is complete. The Tartaruga Field was shut in for a total of 31 days in December due to the planned 7TTG and 107D intervention work.

¹ Subject to minor standard industry adjustments at the time of custody transfer.

² Barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") conversion ratio of 6,000 scf: 1 bbl is used.
