I would live to invite you to join us for PetroTal Corp.'s ("PetroTal" or the "Corporation") Annual General and Special Meeting of shareholders, which will be held on June 19, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time. This year's meeting will be a virtual event, conducted via live webcast. You can attend the meeting, vote your shares electronically, and submit questions during the session by visiting meetnow.global/MF46HLN.
The attached Notice of Annual General and Special Meeting and Proxy Statement outlines the business to be addressed at the meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend, we strongly encourage you to submit your vote online or by mail.
PetroTal continued to make tremendous strides in 2024, evidenced by our strong operational performance in Peru, and continued significant returns of capital to shareholders. We invested nearly $165 million in the Bretana field in 2024, increasing production by 23%, and generating $235 million of EBITDA. The value of this asset is confirmed by our independent reserve evaluator, who has estimated the 2P reserve value of the field at $1.7 billion as of year-end 2024.
The past year also included PetroTal's first acquisition since the inception of the Corporation in 2017. We closed the purchase of Block 131, which includes the producing Los Angeles field, in late November 2024. In December 2024, our exploration team captured the surrounding acreage under two Technical Evaluation Agreements. We have included two development wells at Block 131 in our 2025 budget and look forward to updating the market on our progress.
PetroTal continues to prioritize safety, environmental stewardship, and community engagement. Our adherence to high ethical standards and regulatory compliance remains a cornerstone of our business. We are also dedicated to contributing to the long-term well-being of the communities in which we operate. PetroTal contributed $17.8 million to its flagship social trust in 2024, the proceeds of which are being used to fund development projects in the Puinahua district which surrounds the Bretana field.
As we move forward into 2025, we remain fully committed to driving operational and financial excellence, underpinned by a deep sense of responsibility toward our employees, stakeholders, and the environment. We are focused on responsible growth, safety, and sustainability, as we continue to create long-term value for our shareholders, local communities, and the environment.
On behalf of PetroTal's board of directors and the PetroTal team, we sincerely thank you for your continued support and confidence. We look forward to hearing from you at the 2025 Annual General and Special Meeting.
Thank you once again for being part of PetroTal's success. Sincerely,
Manuel Pablo Zúñiga-Pflücker May 9, 2025
