HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwired - Jan. 29, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.

Greenfields Petroleum Corporation ("Greenfields" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GNF)(TSX VENTURE:GNF.DB), an independent exploration and production company with assets in Azerbaijan, is pleased to announce that the operating company of the Bahar project, Bahar Energy Operating Company ("BEOC" or the "Operator"), continues work in its redevelopment of the Gum Deniz and Bahar fields in the Bahar ERDPSA, Azerbaijan. BEOC has announced a 2015 budget for the Bahar project, including gross operating costs of $37.8 million and gross capital costs of $31.0 million. This budget is focused on continued growth of oil and gas production through workovers and recompletions on the oil and gas fields.

Gross field production for 2014 averaged approximately 26.6 mmcf/d and 1,351 bbl/d or 5,778 boe/d. Gross field production was approximately 22.4 mmcf/d and 1,206 bbl/d or 4,938 boe/d in Q4 2014 due to the suspension of drilling in Q2 attributable to the Drilling Contractor failing to maintain the necessary rig insurance. The 2015 budget anticipates average production of approximately 29.6 mmcf/d and 1,475 bbl/d or 6,408 boe/d. Workovers and recompletions continue to effectively add production in both the Gum Deniz and Bahar fields during the suspension of drilling. In the near term, the Operator is planning to access a crane barge for the installation of equipment and materials to allow three additional gas well workovers to proceed in the coming months.

The 3-D seismic survey continued through January 2015. It is anticipated that the Operator will complete the survey in February with approximately 96 square kilometers of the survey acquired. This 3-D seismic will be processed on an expedited basis by PSG Kahzar in Baku for use in targeting additional development well take points in the Gum Deniz oil field. The Operator intends to tender for drilling rigs in mid-2015 to support an active drilling program in 2016.

Furthermore, an agreement has been reached in principal with regard to a new gas sales contract for the sale of Bahar gas for a term of five (5) years, with sales price continuing at USD$3.96 per mcf.

John Harkins, President and CEO of Greenfields, stated that "The 2015 budget allows the Bahar project to provide adequate positive cash flows to fund the projects on-going operating costs and capital programs in the current oil price environment below $50 per barrel. We anticipate that once our partners' ownership interest in Bahar Energy Limited is resolved and funding as required under Joint Operating Agreement is provided by all of the contractor parties, the project should be self-funding in 2015. Although our focus remains on long term oil production growth from the project, the recent five year extension of our gas sales contract through December 2019 provides strong gas sales in the near term for the project."

Greenfields has agreed to issue an aggregate of 55,685 common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") to certain directors of the Company in satisfaction of director fees payable to such directors in the aggregate amount of CDN$55,685 (USD$48,000). The deemed price per Common Share to be issued pursuant to these transactions is CDN$1.00 (USD$0.862), being the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on December 31, 2014, the date that the debt became payable. The issuance of the Common Shares is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Common Shares will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance.

In addition, the Company has issued 6,000 Common Shares to an officer pursuant to an existing agreement with such officer related to performance objectives. The Company received conditional acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange with respect to such issuance on January 23, 2015. The Common Shares are subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance. The deemed price per Common Share issued is CDN$0.89 (USD$0.72), being the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on January 23, 2015.

Notes to Oil and Gas Disclosures

Barrels Oil Equivalent or "boe" may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6mcf: 1bbl is typically used in oil and gas reporting and is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. The volumes disclosed in this press release use a 6 mcf: 1bbl conversion ratio.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
