Condor's KN-501 Primary Basin Well Reaches Intermediate Casing Point

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Sept. 17, 2015) - Condor Petroleum Inc. ("Condor" or the "Company") (TSX:CPI) is pleased to provide a drilling update on the KN-501 Primary Basin well located on the Company's 100% owned Zharkamys West 1 Territory in Kazakhstan.

The KN-501 well has reached the planned 9-5/8" intermediate casing point at 3530 meters after successfully drilling a 2800 meter salt section. Intermediate casing has been run and cemented in place. The drilling of the 8-1/2" main hole section into the primary target zones is expected to commence once the 10,000 psi BOP equipment is installed and tested. The well is targeting a total depth of 4250 meters.

KN-501 will test a 30 square kilometer 4-way structural closure which is defined by the base of the salt and has been mapped from high resolution 3D seismic. This well offsets the Company's play opening KN-E Primary Basin discovery by 8 kilometers and is located under the same salt dome.

The Company currently has estimated working capital of CA$50 million and no debt.
