PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Operations during and subsequent to the third quarter of 2018 reached a milestone in the ongoing development of the Amatitlán block (Veracruz, Mexico) by Renaissance and LUKOIL. A 17 well drilling program has been completed, intersecting the shallow Tertiary Chicontepec formations. These wells have undergone completion operations and been brought onto production. Renaissance has also completed work-overs and repair operations on eight existing Chicontepec wells. Further, the Renaissance Lukoil partnership has now drilled and cored a deep 3,550 meter well which, with the 17 Chicontepec wells and work-overs, completes the US$45.5 million work program commitment on Amatitlán.

Renaissance produced an average of 1,548 boe/d at the Mundo Nuevo, Topén and Malva blocks (the "Chiapas Blocks"). Third quarter production on the Chiapas blocks was reduced from the previous quarter due to a temporary shut in of the Topén-3 well while the Company conducts a work-over on this well and negotiates land access for the upcoming new drilling and work-over operations.

Strong prices for crude oil and natural gas continued into the third quarter of 2018 resulting in a record high quarterly revenue of $7.1 million and record operating netbacks of $0.8 million.

Renaissance continues to make progress on its journey to become a major Mexican energy producer.
