Petrolia Energy Highlights its Acquisition and Development Plan for its Twin Lakes San Andres Lease in the Permian Basin


HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - April 26, 2017) - Earlier this year, Petrolia Energy Corporation (OTCQB: BBLS) ("Petrolia" or the "Company") completed the acquisition of 60% net working interest in the Twin Lakes San Andres Unit ("TLSAU") lease, located in Chaves County, New Mexico, bringing its total ownership of TLSAU to 100%.

Overall, the TLSAU lease includes:

Mr. Zel C. Khan, Petrolia's CEO, commented, "This transaction represents a significant milestone for our Company. The TLSAU lease has material untapped potential which we are now able to fully develop. For relatively small cash consideration, we gained full ownership and control of this promising asset, as well as long sought after regulatory approvals to develop the field."

Mr. James E. Burns, Petrolia's President, stated, "Petrolia's lease in the TLSAU field is on the Northwest Shelf of the Permian Basin, and it's very similar to other prolific assets in the area and in the Central Permian Basin. Of the 44 existing vertical oil production wellbores already in the field, 12 are currently producing. We intend to begin a workover program to resume production in 28 more of these existing wellbores and restart 5 of the injection wells. Additionally, we expect to initiate our drilling program with two new horizontal wells later in 2017.

"The previous owners invested $30 million in infrastructure to prepare the field for water flood and CO2 injection before unrelated corporate issues prevented them from turning on the incremental production. The stage is now set for Petrolia to fully utilize the prior investments to the benefit of our shareholders.

"Over the past 15 months, through several transactions, we have dramatically increased the Company's Proven Reserves more than six-fold to approximately 4.2 million barrels. With the consummation of this transaction, we can now shift our focus to execution of our production growth strategy, particularly at the TLSAU lease."
