Petromanas Announces Positive Well Test Results From Shpirag-2 in Albania

Shpirag-2 was drilled to a total depth of 5,553 metres, and tested 400 metres of the target carbonate reservoir. Based on the previously drilled Shpirag-1 and the Company's current program at Shpirag-2, Petromanas and Shell believe they have identified in excess of 800m of oil column in fractured carbonate reservoirs at the Shpiragu structure.

Petromanas has a 25% working interest in Block 2-3 and is the operator. Shell holds the remaining 75% working interest.

Blocks 2-3 Seismic Program

The Company's contractors are in the process of acquiring the last few lines of seismic for its planned 450 km 2D seismic program. The acquisition is expected to conclude before the end of the year with seismic processing and interpretation expected to continue into 2014.

Molisht-1

The Molisht-1 well was spud August 20, 2013 and conductor and surface casing was set. The well is drilling ahead at a depth of approximately 1,400 metres. The Company expects to drill the well to a total depth of approximately 5,500 metres.

The use of any of the words "expect", "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "objective", "ongoing", "may", "will", "project", "should", "believe", "plans", "intends" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information. More particularly and without limitation, this press release contains forward-looking information concerning the future performance of the Company, including but not limited to the testing, assessment, and commerciality of the Shpirag-2 well, the drilling and cost of the Molisht-1 well and the timing and completion of the Company's 2013 seismic program. In respect of the forward-looking information concerning the future performance of the Company, Petromanas has provided such in reliance on certain assumptions that it believes are reasonable at this time, including assumptions as to the timing and drilling of wells and the Company's ability to meet its operational commitments, the ability of Petromanas to receive, in a timely manner, the necessary regulatory and governmental operational approvals; and expectations and assumptions concerning, among other things: commodity prices and interest and foreign exchange rates; planned construction activities, capital efficiencies and cost-savings; applicable tax laws; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; and the availability and cost of labour and services.  Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking information contained in this press release.

Since forward-looking information addresses future events and conditions, by its very nature it involves inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to the risks associated with the industries in which Petromanas operates in general such as operational and exploration risks; delays or changes in plans with respect to growth projects or capital expenditures; delays in obtaining governmental approvals, permits or financing or political risks in the completion of development or construction activities; access to drilling rigs, completion equipment, seismic equipment and operational personnel; costs and expenses; political risks; risks of litigation; title disputes; health, safety and environmental risks; commodity price, interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations; environmental risks; competition; ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; and changes in legislation, including but not limited to tax laws and environmental regulations.  There is a specific risk that the Company may be unable to complete the drilling of the Molisht wells at costs estimated and in the manner described in this press release or at all.  There is a specific risk that the Shpirag-2 well will not continue to produce at initial rates disclosed in this press release. There is a specific risk that the Company may not be able to complete the 2013 seismic program in the timeframe estimated in this press release or at all. If the Company is unable to drill the Molisht-1 well at the costs estimated or in the manner described in this press release or at all, or if Shpirag-2 production is lower than initial tests indicate, there could be a material adverse impact on the Company and on the value of the Company's securities.
