Summary of costs capitalized as well as expensed that were incurred
The following table shows capitalized costs and expenses incurred in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, based on the following considerations:
 
(i)
The acquisition of properties includes the costs incurred to acquire proved or unproved oil and gas properties.
 
(ii)
Exploration costs include the costs required to retain undeveloped properties, seismic acquisition costs, seismic data interpretation, geologic modelling, costs of drilling exploration wells and drilled well testing.
 
(iii)
Development costs include drilling costs and equipment for development wells, the construction of facilities for hydrocarbon extraction, transport, treatment and storage, and all the costs needed to maintain facilities for existing developed reserves.

The changes caused by the revisions of prior estimates of proved developed and undeveloped reserves of crude oil (+1.9 MMbbl) and natural gas
(-
13.4 Bcf) are mainly related to:
(a) in connection with the proved developed reserves: revision attributable to well performance and prices in: (i) Bajada del Palo Oeste (+2.03 MMbbl and
-13.72
Bcf); (ii) Bajada del Palo Oeste-conventional
(-0.14
MMbbl and
-5.23
Bcf); (iii) Bajada del Palo Este (“BPE”)
(-0.63
MMbbl and
-3.09
Bcf); (iv)
BPE-conventional
(-0.02
MMbbl and
-0.70
Bcf); (v) Aguada Federal (+0.26 MMbbl and +0.90 Bcf); (vi) remainder areas (+0.57 MMbbl and +8.42 Bcf); (vii) in Aguila Mora: negative revisions related to lower prices
(-0.20
MMbbl and
-0.29
Bcf) and positive revisions related to improved performance (+0.04 MMbbl and +0.35 Bcf).
 
(3)
The changes in proved developed and undeveloped reserves resulting from purchases (sales) of crude oil (+131.9 MMbbl) and natural gas (+74.9 Bcf) are mainly related to:
(a) in connection with the proved developed reserves: (i) the acquisition of Trafigura’s working interest in Bajada del Palo Oeste resulted in additions of (+5.27 MMbbl and +4.63 Bcf); (ii) the acquisition of LACh’s working interest resulted in additions of (+61.6 MMbbl and +29.71 Bcf) (Note 1.2).
(b) in connection with the undeveloped reserves: (i) the acquisition of LACh’s working interest resulted in additions of (+65.0 MMbbl and +40.58 Bcf) (Note 1.2.2).
 
(4)
The changes in proved developed and undeveloped reserves due to the extension and discovery of crude oil (+113.9 MMbbl) and natural gas (+68.9 Bcf) are mainly related to:
(a) in connection with the proved developed reserves: the increase is related to the successful drilling activities in the Vaca Muerta formation in: (i) LACh resulting in the addition of 45 gross wells (10 pads) (+26.10 MMbbl and +19.15 Bcf); (ii) BPE resulting in the addition of 9 wells (2 pads) (+10.10 MMbbl and +1.76 Bcf); and (iii) Bajada del Palo Oeste resulting in the addition of 17 wells (4 pads) (+11.69 MMbbl and +7.17 Bcf).
(b) in connection with the Proved undeveloped reserves enabled by drilling operations in the Vaca Muerta formation: (i) Aguada Federal resulting in the addition (+4.97 MMbbl y +2.16 Bcf); Bajada del Palo Este resulting in the addition (+19.30 MMbbl y +8.47 Bcf); and Bajada del Palo Oeste resulting in the addition (+41.62 MMbbl y +30.24 Bcf).
 
(5)
 
Considering the production attributable to Vista Argentina.
 
(6)
 
Gas production includes: (i) gas for sale 5.4 MMbbl and 30.4 Bcf and (ii) gas used for internal consumption 1.2 MMbbl and 6.7 Bcf, respectively.
 
(7)
 
Reflects the net impact of adjustments to the well inventory in LACh, including 45 horizontal wells connected following Vista’s acquisition and the addition of 38 horizontal wells to the undeveloped proved well inventory (Note 1.2.2).
