This Presentation includes and is based on forward-looking information and statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, economic conditions globally, the impact of competition, political and economic developments in the countries in which PetroNova operates, regulatory developments in Italy and internationally and changes in oil prices and in the margins for PetroNova products. These expectations, estimates and projections are generally identifiable by statements containing words such as "expects", "anticipates", "targets", "goals", "projects", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", variations of such words, and similar expressions. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expectations include, among others, economic and market conditions in the geographic areas and industries that are or will be major markets for PetroNova‘s businesses, oil prices, market acceptance of new products and services, changes in governmental regulations, interest rates, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and such other factors as may be discussed from time to time.

  • Mitigate geological risk inherent to exploration, by

following fundamental guidelines established for participation in new areas:

  • Presence of proven hydrocarbon systems in the area
  • Existence and availability of sufficient technical

information to allow preliminary evaluation

Strategy

information to allow preliminary evaluation

  • Proximity to infrastructure, existing or underdevelopment
  • Attractive economics under conservative price forecasts
  • Focus growth on high impact, moderate risk exploration
