About ARROW Exploration
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 under-exploited, 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 TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol
“AXL”.
