Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 14, 2022) - Arrow Exploration Corp. (AIM: AXL) (TSXV: AXL) ("Arrow" or the "Company") wishes to announce a further operational update in connection with the drilling of its next scheduled well, the RCE-2 well, at the Rio Cravo Este Field (Tapir Block) in Colombia.
The Lee C. Moore 1,500 HP unit with a 500 ton top drive is currently being mobilized to the RCE-2 drilling location. A minor delay with rig scheduling has been overcome, and the partners on the Tapir Block now expect the RCE-2 well to spud in late-March 2022.
Major gating items, including the acquisition of tubulars and pumps, the mobilization of trucks, the completion of civil works, and the community socialization process have been completed.
Drilling of the RCE-2 well is expected to take approximately two weeks, followed by completion and testing. Depending on the number of zones encountered in the well bore, testing is expected to take approximately five days per zone.
The second well in the drilling program, the RCS-1 well (formerly named RCE-3), is expected to spud in early-May 2022. The Company will continue to provide additional updates on the RCE-2 and RCS-1 wells as appropriate.

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 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 AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and on TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "AXL".
