Corcel Plc (London AIM: CRCL), the pan Angola-Brazil focused exploration and production company, is pleased to announce that it has signed a Collaboration Agreement (the "Agreement") with Conterp Serviços Técnicos Ltda ("Conterp"), an energy services company operating onshore Brazil, under which the companies will work together to identify, evaluate and acquire producing onshore oil and gas fields in Brazil.

Under the Agreement, the Company and Conterp will collaborate to jointly develop a pipeline of onshore opportunities in Brazil, where they will use their respective resources to assess, rank and access with the intention to acquire attractive producing assets. The partnership will combine Conterp's local market knowledge and relationships, access to technology, services, equipment and expertise of asset management of onshore Brazil oil and gas fields with Corcel's subsurface capabilities, access to capital markets and offtakers. The Parties have a particular interest at present in pursuing projects focused on producing onshore oil and gas fields with significant development and exploration upside in the Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte, Rio de Janeiro, and Espirito Santo regions, where Conterp operates.

Conterp is an energy services company, with over 20 years of experience and over 800 employees, providing Well Services, Drilling Contracting, Operation and Maintenance, and Asset Integrity Management services. Its portfolio holds a significant number of operational assets (equipment and technology) ranging from several workover rigs, to well services and well intervention equipment. The Company views Conterp as a strong go-to-market partner for onshore Brazil oil and gas assets.

Corcel Interim CEO Scott Gilbert commented: "Our collaboration with Conterp provides access to a pipeline of acquisition opportunities. Given the well-understood geological landscape and mature nature of the market onshore Brazil, our strength lies in our ability to execute 'above-the-ground.' This is where our partnership with Conterp is crucial, providing Corcel with a strong advantage."

Conterp CEO Oswaldo Souza commented: "We are looking forward to embarking on this collaboration with Corcel. We are confident that our technical and operational experience in the oil and gas sector onshore Brazil will complement Corcel's, by providing Corcel with a strategic partner that can mitigate execution risk and accelerate production in future assets they may seek to acquire."

Conterp, based in Salvador, Brazil, is an energy services company founded in 2001 and that has grown rapidly since inception providing a wide service offering to a diversified client base within the production segment of the oil field services industry. Conterp's clients include small-cap, mid-cap and large-cap E&P companies such as Petrobras, Carmo Energy, Braskem, Origem, 3R, Eneva and The Dow Chemical Company.

Conterp's current focus is to service producing oilfields where customers' operations have tended to be more insulated from commodity price cycles inherent in the oil & gas industry. It is now gearing for penetration of renewable energy market services through existing client relationships and transferable skills and equipment.

Conterp has a track record of delivering long-term projects with its established client base and is well-positioned for supporting acquisition of future opportunities from Petrobras' past and planned additional divestments through to 2027.

Corcel's Interim CEO, Scott Gilbert, indirectly owns 12.7% of Conterp's share capital.
