(\"Arrow\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: AXL) is pleased to announce preliminary results of the Rio Cravo Este-1 (\"RCE-1\") exploration well located on the Tapir Block in the Llanos Basin of Colombia in which Arrow holds a 50% beneficial interest. The RCE-1 exploration well was spud on April 25th, 2019 and Arrow's petrophysical analysis of the LWD logs indicates 103 feet true vertical depth (\"ft tvd\") of oil pay in multiple conventional sandstone reservoirs within the C7, Gacheta and Ubaque formations. The RCE-1 well was designed to test the above-mentioned formations within a fault bounded structural closure. RCE-1 was drilled ahead of schedule and below budget reaching total depth (\"td\") approximately 19 days after spud. Arrow intends to complete and flow test RCE-1 with the Weatherford 839 rig currently onsite.\nThe RCE-1 well has been drilled and cased to a depth of 10,000 feet measured depth (\"ft md\"). The top of the C7 zone was penetrated at a depth of approximately 8,642 ft md. Within the C7 zone, 50 ft tvd of potential net oil pay has been encountered in two separate sands, with an average porosity of 29%. The top of the Gacheta Formation was encountered at a depth of approximately 9,396 ft md. Within the Gacheta Formation, approximately 37 ft tvd of potential net oil pay has been identified within multiple sands with average porosities of 20% to 30%. The top of the Ubaque Formation was penetrated at a depth of approximately 9,876 ft md. Within the Ubaque Formation, approximately 12 ft tvd of potential net oil pay has been identified with an average porosity of 12%. Additional minor potential net pay of four ft tvd has been identified within the C3 and Mirador zones.\nBruce McDonald, President and CEO of Arrow, commented \"We're pleased to have encountered a number of potential pay zones within th...
