What Arrow Exploration does

Arrow Exploration Corp. is a Calgary-incorporated, AIM/TSX-V-listed junior oil and gas exploration and production company with producing and development assets concentrated in Colombia's Llanos Basin and Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV), plus non-operated interests in the Caguan-Putumayo Basin and a minor natural gas position in Western Canada. The company's core asset is a 50% working interest in the 65,154-acre Tapir Block in the Llanos Basin, which hosts multiple operated fields — Rio Cravo Este (discovered 2019), Carrizales Norte (2023), Alberta Llanos (2024), revitalized Mateguafa, and most recently Icaco (May 2026) — collectively producing approximately 5,000 boe/d corporate gross. Underlying technology is conventional E&P: horizontal drilling into stacked pay zones (Carbonera C7, Carbonera C9, Lower Gacheta, Ubaque), 3D seismic acquisition and proprietary interpretation for prospect generation, and completion techniques to manage water production and extend well life.

The company generates revenue by selling crude oil production to buyers and refineries at Brent-linked benchmark pricing, benefiting from Colombia's improved 2003/2004 fiscal regime (8-14% royalties) and proximity to two Caribbean export ports. A 100% working interest in the Oso Pardo field in the MMV (restarted 2021) and a 10% interest in the Capella discovery in the Putumayo (the largest Colombian discovery in 20+ years) provide modest diversification. Arrow's business model is self-funded growth from production cash flow, with no debt and $26.7M cash as of June 2026 supporting a multi-well development program. The company is lean (11-50 employees), led by CEO Marshall Abbott and Chairman Gage Jull, and is covered by four sell-side research analysts (Auctus, Canaccord, Hannam, Zeus). The 2025 reported revenue was approximately $70.4M, with 3P reserves of 20,102 Mboe (NPV10 of $472.7M pretax) — though 3P reserves declined 10% year-over-year, indicating that production growth is currently outpacing organic reserve replacement.

Core offering

Arrow Exploration Corp. is a junior oil and gas exploration and production company that produces and sells crude oil and natural gas from operated and non-operated assets in Colombia (Llanos Basin, Middle Magdalena Valley, Caguan-Putumayo Basin) and Western Canada. The company generates ~5,000 boe/d of corporate production with Brent-linked oil pricing, a debt-free balance sheet, and conducts exploration, development, and appraisal drilling programs targeting stacked reservoirs in the Carbonera C7, Carbonera C9, Lower Gacheta, and Ubaque formations.

Product overview

Arrow Exploration Corp. is an oil and gas exploration and production company operating in Colombia's Llanos Basin, Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV), and Caguan/Putumayo Basin, as well as in Western Canada. The company's portfolio consists of producing oil and gas assets rather than a unified software platform. Core assets include operated properties on the Tapir Block (50% WI) with multiple fields—Rio Cravo Este, Carrizales Norte, Alberta Llanos, Mateguafa, and Icaco—producing approximately 5,000+ boe/d net. Additional production comes from the Oso Pardo/Santa Isabel field (100% WI) in MMV, a 10% interest in the Capella Field in Putumayo, and Canadian natural gas assets. The company conducts exploration drilling, development drilling, and production operations with Brent-linked oil pricing exposure and low royalty rates.

Direct peers

• Parex Resources: Pure-play Colombian E&P focused on the Llanos Basin with similar acreage scale and a self-funded growth model. Operates in the same producing basins as Arrow and represents the most directly comparable Colombian small/mid-cap peer.
• Gran Tierra Energy: Colombia-focused E&P with operations concentrated in the Llanos, Putumayo, and Middle Magdalena Valley basins — overlapping Arrow's core geographies and customer base (oil buyers/refineries in Colombia).
• Frontera Energy: Colombia and Latin America E&P with significant production and acreage in the Llanos and Putumayo basins. Directly comparable to Arrow in terms of asset focus, Brent-linked realizations, and operational footprint.
• Canacol Energy: Colombia-focused E&P historically active in the same Middle Magdalena Valley and Llanos basins. Was a seller of assets to Arrow during the 2018 corporate restructuring, establishing direct operational and geological familiarity.
• PetroTal: Small-cap Latin American oil producer (Peru-focused) with Brent-linked realizations and a similar self-funded single-asset growth profile. Comparable in size, capital structure, and growth-stage positioning to Arrow.
• GeoPark Limited: Latin America E&P with historical Colombian operations in the Llanos Basin. Operated adjacent acreage with overlapping geology and customer channels; recently merged with Parex, consolidating Colombian E&P scale.
• Emerald Energy (Sinochem): Operates the Ombu Block containing the Capella discovery in which Arrow holds a 10% working interest. Directly comparable as a Colombian operator with active drilling programs in the Putumayo Basin.

Broad incumbents

• Ecopetrol: Colombia's national oil company and dominant upstream operator. Counterparty on the Tapir Block interest assignment, regulator-facing party for Arrow, and broad incumbent across Colombian basins where Arrow operates.

Regional players

• Tourmaline Oil: Canada's largest natural gas producer focused on the Montney and Deep Basin plays in Alberta and BC. Comparable to Arrow's Canadian gas assets in scale and play type, though operating primarily in Western Canada rather than Colombia.
• Whitecap Resources: Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin E&P with a diversified, self-funded production base. Comparable in capital-discipline philosophy and balance-sheet posture, though operates exclusively in Canada rather than Colombia.
