Petrolympic Settles Dispute Over Maverick Basin Properties; Provides Update

TORONTO, ONTARIO – July 3, 2012 – Petrolympic Ltd. (TSXV:PCQ) ("Petrolympic") is pleased to announce that Petrolympic USA, Inc. (“Petrolympic USA”) has resolved its dispute (as previously disclosed in a Petrolympic press release issued on March 20, 2012) with Texas HBP LLC, Big Shell Oil & Gas Inc. and Harvey E. White (the “Big Shell Entities”), pertaining to the Chittim Ranch 80 #2V Well (the “Well”) located in Maverick County, Texas. The Well was drilled pursuant to Petrolympic USA’s participation agreement with Texas HBP and Big Shell (for further details, please refer to Petrolympic’s press release issued on May 11, 2011).

The settlement with the Big Shell Entities provides for the following:

•           The Big Shell Entities have consented to the direct assignment to Petrolympic USA Inc. of an 80.25% working interest (net revenue interest of 60.1875%) in the Well and the surrounding 320–acre leasehold estate (the “Petrolympic Property”) increased from the originally agreed upon 50% working interest (net revenue interest of 37.5%).

•           Upon implementation of settlement with the Big Shell Entities, Petrolympic USA will seek consent from the landowners of a formal assignment of the Petrolympic Property and seek to formally change the operatorship with the Railroad Commission of Texas.

•           Big Shell is relinquishing operations over the Petrolympic Property to Oil-Lympia Oil and Gas Inc., a subsidiary company of Petrolympic.

•           Petrolympic USA has agreed to satisfy all outstanding invoices to third-party vendors and service providers in relation to prior operations on the Well.

•           Petrolympic USA has relinquished any rights under the participation agreement in the balance of the 8,000 acres.  

Once the settlement is complete, Petrolympic USA expects to commence long-term testing of the Well as operator with the objective of testing potential production rates. After testing, Petrolympic USA will consider additional operations on the Petrolympic Property. During drilling of Well, seven potential oil and gas bearing horizons were penetrated, and the settlement agreement will permit additional drilling on the Petrolympic Property. The management believes that Petrolympic Property allows drilling additional wells on the 40 acre spacing.

Petrolympic Announces A Joint Venture on Michigan Pinnacle Reef Properties With Energex Petroleum Inc.

TORONTO, ONTARIO AND WINDSOR, ONTARIO, May 24, 2012 -- Petrolympic Ltd. ("Petrolympic") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") to form a joint venture with Energex Petroleum Inc. ("Energex") through which Petrolympic will acquire 50% indirect working interest in Energex's Michigan Properties ("Michigan Properties").

The Michigan Properties consist of the Addison 12-05N-11E Field ("Addison") and Bruce Fields, DeWald 2-12 and Big Hand.

Addison is comprised of a 222 acres Silurian Pinnacle Reef with 4 shut-in wells, 1 injection well and an extensive oil battery on 5 acres. The wells have cumulative production of 447 MBBL and 2.5 MMCFG to date. An NI51-101 engineering report prepared by AJM Petroleum Consultants estimates 2.856 MMBBL in place with the 2P reserves of 81.2 MBBL and NPV10 of $2.8 million. The management believes that reworking 4 shut-in wells will establish gross production of 80-100 BBL/D and intends to investigate the secondary recovery potential, which could result in additional recovery of as much as 20% of the oil in place or 570 MBBL (commensurate with secondary recovery rates at Niagaran Reefs in the Southern Trend, according to a publication by the Society of Petroleum Engineers).

The Bruce Field holdings consist of 2 shut in wells. Historical technical reports indicate this field as a prime gas storage reservoir with capacity of approximately 10 BCFG. This field is linked to the Addison Field via an underground pipeline.

The Big Hand holdings are currently comprised of one shut in well and a second well with a 12.5% gross overriding royalty. There are several operators on the reef. The historical technical reports indicate a potential for secondary recovery.

The DeWald 2-12 Field has one shut in well. It is adjacent to the Big Hand Field and adds further gas storage potential.

Joint Development Program

Upon completion of the comprehensive review of the joint venture project and entering into a formal joint operating agreement, Petrolympic and Energex will jointly determine the use of funds advanced by the Petrolympic. The Joint Development Program is expected to include:

-        preparation of unitization application for the Addison;

-        reworking 4 shut-in wells at the Addison;

-        study of secondary recovery at Addison;

-        preparation of natural gas storage feasibility study; and

-        evaluation of the potential for further production at Big Hand, DeWald 2-12 and Bruce Fields.

Deal Terms

To earn 50% of the working interest in the Michigan Properties, Petrolympic will make the following payments:

-        $50,000 on or before June 18, 2012;

-        On or prior to September 28, 2012 ("Closing Date"), an aggregate of $350,000, of which $100,000 is payable to Energex and the balance will be used to fund the environmental bonding obligations, closing costs and general working capital purposes, and issue to Energex 1 million common shares in the capital of Petrolympic ("Petrolympic Shares");

-        $300,000 to fund the joint development program ("Joint Development Program") and issue to Energex 500,000 Petrolympic Shares within 60 days of the Closing Date;

-        $300,000 to fund the Joint Development Program and issue to Energex 500,000 Petrolympic Shares within 120 days of the Closing Date;

-        $250,000 to fund the Joint Development Program and issue to Energex 500,000 Petrolympic Shares within 240 days of the Closing Date; and

-        $250,000 to fund the Joint Development Program and issue to Energex 500,000 Petrolympic Shares within 365 days of the Closing Date.

All issuances of Petrolympic Shares are subject to obtaining regulatory approval. Subsequently, Petrolympic and Energex each will be responsible for their pro-rata share of the development costs, based on the working interest held by each party (expected to be maintained at 50-50).

Petrolympic will also have a right of first refusal for a period of one year to earn working interest in the additional properties owned by Energex in Ontario ("Ontario Properties").

Foundation Opportunities Inc. ("FOI"), a merchant bank, has acted as an advisor to Energex in the transaction. Adam Szweras is Corporate Secretary of Petrolympic and is a director and Chairman of FOI, and has an indirect economic interest in FOI.

"The Joint Venture presents a low-risk opportunity to further expand Petrolympic's project portfolio and move forward to become an oil producer in the near term" said CEO Mendel Ekstein. "We believe that the project's low development cost and compelling upside potential present an attractive prospect of creating value for our shareholders."

Peter Bilodeau, President and CEO of Energex comments: "We are delighted to have Petrolympic as our partner and are looking forward to working with them to develop our Michigan Properties. As Energex continues to work towards a public listing on the TSXV, we hope to co-operate with Petrolympic in the future, including a potential opportunity to jointly explore our Ontario properties."

About Energex

Energex is an Ontario-based junior oil and gas company with assets in Michigan and Ontario.

Historical cumulative gas production from the Tilbury Field is 277 BCFG and it is believed there is a strong possibility of undeveloped reserves as defined by Energex's proprietary seismic data. Energex owns approximately 216 km of proprietary 2D seismic data (including 96 km offshore) and intends to complete a 3D Seismic survey allowing it to identify low-risk targets for vertical wells.

Energex has entered into a binding letter of intent with Capricorn Business Acquisitions Inc. ("Capricorn"), a capital pool company, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Energex that will constitute as Capricorn's Qualifying Transaction under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
