Corporate Production
Corporate production as of October 27, 2022, is approximately 2,530 boe/d net.
Total net production from the Rio Cravo field is 760 bopd prior to any
contribution from the current workover program.
The Pepper Field has been producing approximately 1,270 boe/d, comprising
approximately 270 boe/d from West Pepper and approximately 1,000 boe/d from
East Pepper. Production at West Pepper is currently being curtailed due to
third party facility constraints. Expectations are that production will return
to approximately 400 boe/d in early Q4 2022.
The two wells, along with continuing and expected robust natural gas prices in
North America, are expected to further enhance the value of the Pepper field.
Arrow has 23,000 acres of contiguous Montney rights in the Pepper Area.
Marshall Abbott, CEO of Arrow Exploration Corp., commented:
"Arrow is extremely pleased with the results of the tie-in of the Alberta East
Pepper Montney well. The East Pepper well results show the potential for the
large, 100% owned, 23,000 acre Pepper land block. The workover program in
Colombia is also progressing to plan, and we look forward to providing further
updates on these wells as well as the development drilling of the RCE-3 and
RCE-4 wells when updates are available. We are excited about the upcoming
capital programs and we expect material production and reserve additions. The
Arrow Team continues to execute our strategy to increase shareholder value."

About Arrow Exploration Corp.
Arrow Exploration Corp. (operating in Colombia via a branch of its 100% owned
subsidiary Carrao Energy S.A.) is a publicly traded company with a portfolio
of premier Colombian oil assets that are underexploited, under-explored and
offer high potential growth. The Company's business plan is to expand oil
production from some of Colombia's most active basins, including the Llanos,
Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV) and Putumayo Basin. The asset base is
predominantly operated with high working interests, and the Brent-linked light
oil pricing exposure combines with low royalties to yield attractive potential
operating margins. Arrow's 50% interest in the Tapir Block is contingent on
the assignment by Ecopetrol SA of such interest to Arrow. Arrow's seasoned
team is led by a hands-on executive team supported by an experienced board.
Arrow is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and on TSX
Venture Exchange under the symbol "AXL".
Cautionary Statement
This press release contains various references to the abbreviation "boe" which
means barrels of oil equivalent. Where amounts are expressed on a BOE basis,
natural gas volumes have been converted to oil equivalence at six thousand
cubic feet (Mcf) per barrel (bbl). The term boe may be misleading,
particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand
cubic feet per barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method
primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead.
Forward-looking Statements

that are based on the expectations of its management as well as assumptions
made by and information currently available to Arrow which may constitute
forward-looking statements or information ("forward-looking statements") under

those of historical fact, which address activities, events, outcomes, results

(or any of them individually), the prices of oil and/or natural gas, and
Arrow's business plan to expand oil and gas production and achieve attractive
potential operating margins. Arrow believes the expectations and assumptions
reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable at this time, but
no assurance can be given that these factors, expectations, and assumptions
will prove to be correct.
The forward-looking statements included in this news release are not
guarantees of future performance and should not be unduly relied upon. Such
