Vista announces successful results of its first 2 wells in Bajada del Palo Este

Mexico City, April 20, 2022 – Vista Oil & Gas, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Vista” or the “Company”) (NYSE: VIST; BMV: VISTA) announced today successful results in its first two shale oil wells drilled in the Bajada del Palo Este concession.

Pad #11 (wells BPE-2101h and BPE-2103h) targeted La Cocina landing zone of Vaca Muerta, with an average lateral length of 2,224 meters and an average of 46 completion stages per well. Average peak production, reached in April 2022, was more than 2,400 boe/d per well. Pore pressure gradient of both wells is in line with results in Bajada del Palo Oeste to date. Additionally, preliminary lab analysis indicates an API gravity of approximately 30 degrees.

Pad #11 is located on the western part of Bajada del Palo Este (see below), close to the border with Bajada del Palo Oeste (where the Company has identified 550 new well locations and tied-in 40 wells to date). “Pad #11 continues to prove our track record as a top Vaca Muerta operator and the high quality of our assets”, commented Miguel Galuccio, Vista’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, adding: “More importantly, the location of the wells, close to the eastern border of Bajada del Palo Oeste confirms our geological model, and at the same time points to the continuity of the play into Bajada del Palo Este, were we hold further acreage”.
