Petro Victory Energy Announces Successful SJ-12 Well Results

Petro Victory Well Results Validate Assets Amidst Capital Strain

Executive Summary
  • Petro Victory Energy announced successful results from the SJ-12 well in the São João Field, Brazil.
  • The well encountered 72 meters of net gas pay and 45 meters of oil shows across multiple formations.
  • A stacked reservoir system was identified with 125m of net reservoir.
  • Logging included resistivity, density, neutron, and sonic logs; RDT formation testing confirmed pressure continuity.
  • CEO Richard F. Gonzalez stated results significantly exceed expectations and mark a major milestone.
  • Follow-up well testing campaign is planned to evaluate deliverability for commercialization.
Material Impact
  • The SJ-12 results validate the subsurface model and resource estimates previously announced in March 2026 (50.1 Bcf gas).
  • While technically positive, the news must be weighed against the April 16 debt settlement amendment which increased share issuance for debt from $1M to $6.2M.
  • The dilution risk from recent related-party financings limits the immediate upside potential of exploration success.
  • Results are expected following the March drilling commencement announcement; thus, they are largely anticipated rather than a surprise discovery.
  • The confirmation of stacked pay supports long-term value but does not immediately resolve liquidity concerns or production timelines.
