Serafino Iacono, CEO of NGE, commented: 
“We are very pleased to have our two greatest accomplishments of the year reflected in our reserves and resources report. The report validates the incredible achievements by our team and our partners after encountering a new naturally fractured natural gas bearing section in the drilling of Aruchara-3 and finalizing contracts to build production infrastructure at Sinu-9. We look forward to continuing to grow these numbers in 2024 as we aim to achieve significant free cash flow by the end of next year.”
