EMISSION FREE GEOTHERMAL ENERGY POWERS PAREX PRODUCTION

Parex installed Colombia’s first geothermal power unit that captures the heat from hot water by-product from oil production. Thefirst pilot unit is on the Las Maracas’ field and the second pilot unit is anticipated to be completed in September 2021 on the Rumba

field. The project aims to produce approximately 100kW of energy, replacing the fossil-fuel derived power in the pilot fields.

Parex is committed to building a sustainable low carbon future

Benefits of the Geothermal Unit:• Offset emissions – displace higher carbon intensive energy sources• Modular design, therefore scalable and portable • Smaller footprint compared to solar & wind

ADVISORIESManagement has included the above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking information provided in this document in order to provide shareholders with a more complete perspective on Parex'current and future operations and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Parex' actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, theseforward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what benefits Parex will derive.These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this document and Parex disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, futureevents or results or otherwise, other than as required by applicable securities laws. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Oil and Gas Information

• Estimates of the net present value of the future net revenue from Parex' reserves do not represent the fair market value of Parex' reserves. The estimates of reserves and future net revenue from individual propertiesor wells may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties and wells, due to the effects of aggregation.

• "BOEs" may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6 mcf:1 bbl) is based on an energy equivalency conversionmethod primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantlydifferent from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

• All of Parex’ crude oil reserves disclosed herein are located in Colombia. The Company has light, medium and heavy crude oil, natural gas liquids and conventional natural gas product types. The recovery and reserveestimates of reserves provided in this document are estimates only, and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves may eventually prove to be greater than, or less than, theestimates provided herein. All evaluations and reviews of future net revenue contained in GLJ's reports are stated prior to any provision for interest costs or general and administrative costs and after the deduction ofroyalties, development costs, production costs, well abandonment costs and estimated future capital expenditures for wells to which reserves have been assigned.

• Certain other information contained in this presentation has been prepared by third-party sources, which information has not been independently audited or verified by Parex. No representation or warranty, expressor implied, is made by Parex as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this document, and nothing contained in this presentation is, or shall be relied upon as, a promise or representation byParex.

• This presentation contains references to type well production and economics, which are derived, at least in part, from available information respecting the well economics of other companies and, as such, there is noguarantee that Parex will achieve the stated or similar results, capital costs and return costs representative per well.

• References in this presentation to initial production test rates, initial "flow" rates, initial flow testing, and "peak" rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however such rates are not determinativeof the rates at which such wells will commence production and decline thereafter and are not indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. While encouraging, investors are cautioned not to placereliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production for Parex. Parex has not conducted a pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation on the wells referenced in this presentation. As such, all datashould be considered to be preliminary until such analysis or interpretation has been done.

Financial Matters

• The Company discloses several financial measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). These financial measures include funds flow fromoperations. Management believes that these financial measures are useful supplemental information to analyze operating performance and provide an indication of the results generated by the Company’s principalbusiness activities. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income or other measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with “Oil andGas Information” and IFRS. Parex’s method of calculating these measures may differ from other companies, and accordingly, they may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Please see theCompany’s most recent Management’s Discussion and Analysis, which is available at www.sedar.com for additional information about these financial measures.

• Funds Flow from Operations per boe is a non-GAAP measure that includes all cash generated from operating activities and is calculated before changes in non-cash working capital, divided by sales volumes for theperiod. In Q2 2019, the Company changed how it presents funds flow provided by (used in) operations to present a more comparable basis to industry presentation.
