Cub Energy Inc. Updates Operations in Ukraine and Converts Krutogorovskoye Licence to 20-Year Production Licence

HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwired - Sept. 5, 2013) - Cub Energy Inc. ("Cub", or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:KUB) reports on its operations activities in Ukraine and that KUB-Gas LLC ("KUB-Gas"), a partially-owned subsidiary in which Cub has a 30% ownership interest, has successfully converted its Krutogorovskoye Licence to a 20-year production licence.

Mikhail Afendikov, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated:

"The conversion of the Krutogorovskoye license into a 20-year production license is a significant milestone for the company and opens the way for the full development of the license area. This conversion enhances our ability to increase production on our Eastern Fields."

Krutogorovskoye Licence

KUB-Gas has received Special Permit No. 5835 from the State Geological Service of Ukraine authorising full industrial production for a 20-year term on the Krutogorovskoye Licence. The new production licence replaces the previously issued five-year Special Permit for exploration. A special permit (or license) for full production by law no longer limits production to 10% of state-approved reserves and in fact contains no such limits. (See Notes to Editor)

Rusko-Komarovske Licence (Western Ukraine)

The Company is in the final stages of the drilling rig selection process and contract negotiations to drill the Rusko-Koarovske-22 ("RK-22") well. The rig is expected to mobilise in late September 2013 and the Company expects to spud the RK-22 by mid-October 2013. Cub is the 100% owner and operation on the RK Licence.

Seismic Acquisition Campaign

The company is in the process of acquiring and interpreting a total of 167.6 km² of full fold 3D seismic on its three TGI licences acquired in 1H 2013. Seismic has been shot on the Kryakovskaya Field and interpretation is in process (35 km²); seismic is currently being shot on the Oskolonovska Field (85.6 km²) with interpretation expected mid-November 2013; and the acquisition of 47 km² on the East Vergunskoye Field is expected to commence in October 2013.

KUB-Gas Fracture Stimulation Campaign

KUB-Gas is in the process of a number of recompletions, dual completions, workovers and production enhancement projects. The Olgovskoye and Makeevskoye production and processing facilities are currently undergoing upgrades to increase the gas processing capacity to more than 65 million cubic feet per day. Completion is expected early Q1 2014. Fracture stimulations on the O-4; O-5, O-15 and NM-3 wells are expected to take place in Q4 2013.
