A wide range of initiatives to ensure safe and efficient operations while minimizing pollution
Corporate responsibility is core in Maha
Environmentalefforts to
minimize pollution
Focus on efficient and safe
operations
Strict governance important
Tie Gas to wire project allows electricity generation
with gas that would otherwise be flared (aims to reduce flaring to zero and increase oil recovery)
Zero water discharge. All water is recycled as part of water injection scheme
Important source of gas to local community
Tartaruga Located on the coast – operations set up to
minimize disruption to local wildlife and habitat
Instead of traditional rig, short mast rig was used to minimize light pollution during turtle nesting season
Impermeable mats protect against spills
LAK Ranch & Illinois Basin Reduced discharge to zero (100% water
recycling)
Zero gas flaring implemented
Special pump jacks to allow simultaneous irrigation activities and oil production

Field introduction
Mafraq – a well defined, phased and operated oil development in Oman
Key facts and location
Notes: 1) Royal Decree for Block 70 in Oman granted on 28 Oct, 2020; 2) As per 31 December 2020 based on Reserve and Economic Evaluation and Assessment of Contingent Resources Oil Property prepared by Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd.; 3) Source: Company estimates 4) Before 30% additional back-in right is assumed to be exercised by the government
Maha entered Exploration Block 70 in October 20201 as operator with 100% WI
- The Maha team has significant experience from Oman through previous work on Block 3, 4 and 15
Block 70 is located close to other major established oil fields, and contains the undeveloped Mafraq oil discovery made in 1988
- A low-risk oil appraisal/development project with attractive economics
Mafraq is significantly de-risked through extensive seismic, a total of five wells drilled, including a long-term production test flowing > 15,700 bbls of oil on a 22-day test (average > 700 BOPD)
Planning a phased appraisal and development approach, with an initial committed work program investment estimated at approximately USD 14.6m
- Enabling full de-risking of the project with limited capital commitment, and benefitting from cash flow from early production testing system
- Operatorship provides full control of scope and timing of investments (beyond the initial committed work programme)
Potential to farm down up to 50% over time (remaining as operator)4)
Fiscal regime is an Exploration Production Sharing Agreement (EPSA). The production sharing principle, for ease of reference, equates to a government take around 42 - 45% of gross revenues which includes all taxes payable in the country.
- It also allows for up to 30% government back in before Declaration of Commerciality

Conservative profile with strong cash flow and quick payback
Tie field underpins production with expected field plateau of ~5,200 boepd Low Corporate unit costs with opex of ~ USD 7.0-8.0/boe for 2021 across fields result in high netbacks Generates strong long term cash flows.
Cash flow from producing fields is re-invested in accretive developments Focus on investment with short lead time to cash flow/payback High degree of discretion over capex due to operatorship and phased development approach
Solid balance sheet and a conservative capital structure Diversification is key with multiple producers in several jurisdictions Planned capex of USD 85m over the 2021-2023 period comfortably funded by debt proceeds and
operating cash flows over the period and cash at hand1)

The Company manages price risk risk by constantly monitoring commodity prices and factoring them into operational decisions, such as contracting or expanding its capital expenditures program
From time to time, the Company enters into certain risk management contracts in order to manage the exposure to market risks from fluctuations in commodity prices
- These risk management contracts are not used for trading or speculative purposes
30
Hedging policy – key risks and mitigants
To minimize foreign currency risk, the Company’s cash balancesare held primarily in SEK and USD within Sweden, in BRL within Brazil and USD within Canada
- In Canada, USD funds are converted to CAD on an as-needed basis
- Management funds Brazil projects with the cash generated in Brazil to minimize the foreign currency risk
Under the marketing agreement with Dax Oil, most of the oil sales are prepaid prior to delivery with occasional credit granted to maintain daily deliveries
The Company’s policy is to limit credit risk by limiting the counterparties to major banks and oil and gas companies
- Where it is determined that there is a credit risk for oil and gas sales, the policy is to require an irrevocable letter of credit
- The policy on joint operations parties is to rely on the provisions of the underlying joint operating agreements to take possession of the license or the joint operations partner’s share of production for non-payment of cash calls or other amounts due

Field introduction
LAK Ranch is set for production optimization and evaluation –no capital commitments
Key facts and location
Notes: 1) The remaining 1% interest in the LAK Ranch field is entitled to 1% of revenues after paying production taxes without obligation to pay capital or operating costs and is therefore accounted for as a royalty holder; 2) The LAK Ranch lease has an indefinite term as long as a minimum annual royalty is paid. During 20, the minimum Freehold royalties were USD 120 thousand per annum; 3) Reserves certified by Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd. as of 31 December 20.
LAK production operations currently suspended due to low oil prices
Discovered in the 1920’s
Located on the eastern edge of the multi-billion barrel Powder River Basinin Wyoming, USA
Maha has drilled eight horizontal wells on the field since the acquisition in2013. Two vertical wells and 6 deviated water injectors have also beendrilled
Spending on hold for expansion program
- No investment decision has been made for LAK in 2020, and furthercapital spend is dependent on results of hot water flood and oil price
- Capital will only be spent if: a) the results of the hot water flood showpositive netback numbers for the field, b) further capital investments areranked above other opportunities that the Company might have, and c)upon Board of Directors’ review and approval
Crude oil from the LAK Ranch is trucked to a nearby refinery in Newcastle,Wyoming
