• Sliding Sleeve (SSD) holds the jet pump. Both production and

power fluid pass through the sleeve

• Over time the sleeve becomes eroded and must be replaced -

• Minimum mapped closure = ±4.1 mmbo

• Potential closure = 20+ mmbo

LLANOS

• Llanos 34 and Cabestrero

blocks demonstrate

continuity of traps on a NE-SW

trend – shown to be at least

30km long to date

• Llanos 34 – over 50 MMBO

produced to date,

approximately 55,000 bopd

• Tigana and associated fields

are trapped by relatively

small and subtle synthetic

(down to the basin) faults

• Drilling activity this year is

focused on different structure

types, proven by Mariposa-1

(compression structures)

• The Company believes the

synthetic Guadalupe trap

may extend into CPO-5

LLANOS

• Presence of synthetic faults is confirmed in Amerisur’s analysis. Their displacement and style is similar to that of the oil fields to

the North East. The position of the first faults identified indicate that they could be the continuation of the Akira Oil Field

Trend

• In addition to Akira's Structural Trend, a second fault system has been identified, stepped to the south

• The continuity of the Jacana Oil Field structural trend is not yet confirmed either in the 3D NW seismic cube or in the 2D

seismic lines. Further processing is required to improve this data

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

OUR LICENCE TO OPERATE

Having been present in the Putumayo basin for eleven years, Amerisur is one of the largest investors in the region and is

committed to delivering sustainable long-term growth in a safe and responsible manner, complying with all applicable

laws and regulations.

'Sustiticion de Cultivos Ilicitos - illegal crop substitution programme'

• The Government's 'illegal crop substitution programme' compensates farmers for

the eradication of their coca crop.

• Amerisur has been providing local farmers in seven villages in the Putumayo

region with pepper plants and farming skills such that they can swiftly make the

transition to a more socially desirable and profitable crop.

• Black Pepper is a high demand crop in Colombia and provides a steady

income.

Helping to end water poverty

• Amerisur has helped to reduce water poverty in the Platanillo region, making water

safe to drink with its involvement in the installation of LIFESAVER® clean water filtration

tank filters in local schools in Alea, Santa Isabel, Sevilla, Sinai II – Badio and Sinai,

providing an effective long-term clean water solution.

• The ‘LifeSaver C2’ water tank filtration system, is a community led solution that holds

750 litres of water at one time and can be connected to a rainwater harvesting

system to ensure a constant supply of clean drinking water.

• Microbiologically clean water, which filters out 99.99% of all viruses’ bacteria and

cysts, produced from the tank can be used for drinking, washing, cleaning and

cooking.

27

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Santa Isabel School

• Currently Amerisur supports 454 families in the Platanillo block across the following villages; Alea, Bajo Mansoya, Peneya,

Sevilla, La Rosa, Sinai II – Baldio, Camelias, Monteverde and Kanakas.

• During 2017 Amerisur continued to focus on improving access to and promoting further education through the construction

of two classrooms for grades 10 and 11, two laboratories and two sets of toilet facilities for the students of Santa Isabel School.

• This project will improve the students’ educational prospects and help create the country’s next generation of high school

graduates.

• The construction of the new facilities have been undertaken by local villagers thus creating more job opportunities.

• Focus on local hiring and contracting wherever possible
