Acquisition of Mature Fields:

Collaboration with international group: In August, Petro-Victory entered into an MOU ("Memorandum of understanding") Collaboration with XP Group, an international oil and gas operator, to evaluate, acquire, and enhance production in mature oil and gas fields in Latin America. This collaboration further strengthens Petro-Victory's position to increase production through the acquisition of mature producing fields across Latin America.

Message to shareholders

Richard F. Gonzalez, CEO of Petro-Victory Energy Corp. commented: "With the completion of the three-well workover program at the São João Field, total oil sales volumes for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 5,814 bbls, an increase of 99% over the first quarter 2024 sales volumes. The São João Field had no production, no reserve report, and no facilities prior to Petro-Victory entering in April 2020. The field has since produced more than 50,000 barrels of oil and has 1.9 MMboe in 2P Reserves and Best Estimate - Development Pending Risked Contingent Gas Resources of 8.4 MMboe.

"Consolidated production from the São João, Andorinha, and Trapiá fields during the second quarter averaged 64 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and generated an average of USD $144 thousand in oil revenues per month with an average netback per month in the quarter of USD $72 thousand or USD $37.08 per barrel representing a 50% margin. In July and August we have averaged 48 bopd.

"Production growth continues to be a priority for Petro-Victory and future production volumes are expected to increase disproportionately from production expense as the Company executes on the development plan in the second half 2024 and beyond, thus decreasing the production cost per barrel and increasing operating netback margins.

"The Company has focused on establishing strategic partnerships and joint ventures during the period with an emphasis on monetizing existing assets and reserves.

"The ATP partnership is progressing exceptionally well. The teams' combined experience and expertise are highly complementary. The synergies not only enhance our current projects but also opens up numerous opportunities for future growth. By leveraging our collective strengths, we can operate more effectively and drive greater value for both organizations.

"Furthermore, the Company is also evaluating opportunities to increase production through the acquisition of mature fields in Brazil and LATAM which would be complementary to our existing high-growth portfolio."

In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "objective," "ongoing," "outlook," "potential," "project," "plan," "should," "target," "would," "will" or similar words suggesting future outcomes, events or performance. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date thereof and are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Specifically, this press release contains forward-looking statements relating to, but not limited to, our business strategies, plans and objectives, and drilling, testing, and exploration expectations. These forward-looking statements are based on certain key assumptions regarding, among other things, our ability to add production and reserves through our exploration activities; the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and other required approvals for our operating activities; the approval by the TSXV of the Market Maker Agreement; the availability and cost of labor and other industry services; the continuance of existing and, in certain circumstances, proposed tax and royalty regimes; and current industry conditions, laws and regulations continuing in effect (or, where changes are proposed, such changes being adopted as anticipated). Readers are cautioned that such assumptions, although considered reasonable by Petro Victory at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect.

Oil and Natural Gas Reserves

The disclosure in this news release summarizes certain information contained in the GLJ Reserves and Resources Report but represents only a portion of the disclosure required under National Instrument 51-101 ("NI 51-101"). Full disclosure with respect to the Company's reserves as at December 31, 2023 is contained in the Company's Form 51-101F1 for the year ended December 31, 2023 which has been filed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.com) as part of the Annual Information Form. All net present values in this press release are based on estimates of future operating and capital costs and GLJ's forecast prices as of December 31, 2023 and have been made assuming the development of each property in respect of which the estimate is made will occur, without regard to the likely availability to the reporting issuer of funding required for that development. The reserves and resource definitions used in this evaluation are the standards defined by the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (COGEH) reserve definitions, are consistent with NI 51-101 and are used by GLJ. The net present values of future net revenue attributable to the Petro Victory's reserves and resources estimated by GLJ do not represent the fair market value of those reserves. Other assumptions and qualifications relating to costs, prices for future production, and other matters are summarized herein. The Company's reserves volumes and the contingent resource volumes should not be read as a combined total due to the different levels of uncertainty and inherent risks associated with both classifications of recoverable volumes. The recovery and reserve estimates of the Company's reserves and resources provided herein are estimates only, and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves and resources may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

With respect to the development pending risked contingent resources, there can be no certainty that the project will be developed on the timelines outlined within reserve and resource report. There is uncertainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. The development of the project is dependent on several contingencies as described. Significant positive factors relevant to the estimate include existing test logs of the gas in the field and corporate commitment to the project. Significant negative factors relevant to the estimate include the economic viability of the project (with sensitivity to low commodity prices), access to commitment from future partners and/or amount of capital required to develop resources at an acceptable cost, and regulatory approvals for planned activities including stimulations and new infrastructure developments.‎

BOE Disclosure

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