Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc. Announces the Initiation of the Frac/Completion of its Test Well Project

PLANO, TX, Nov. 2, 2012

Tom Griffin, the Chairman of the Board of the Company stated, "With the success of our recent capital raise, we have moved forward with the sand/slick water fracing process of our Test Well Project which was performed Wednesday morning, October 31^st. We will begin a gradual flowing of the well to remove the water over the next few days and into next week before we have our anticipated oil flow results".

The Company plans to drill additional production wells across the project area on acreage already leased and to continue the leasing of additional acreage.

Additionally and in conjunction with the recent successful capital raise, the Company has introduced two new offerings to facilitate raising capital in order to fulfill its drilling plans and leasing efforts in the area of the Test Well Project.  The new offerings should provide sufficient capital for the Company to execute its business plan to develop its leased acreage and add value for its shareholders.  For more Company information, please visit http://www.sfpetroleum.com.
