Greenfields Petroleum Corporation (TSX VENTURE:GNF.S) reports today its 2011 first quarter results.

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - June 29, 2011) - Greenfields Petroleum Corporation (the "Company" or "Greenfields") (TSX VENTURE:GNF.S), an independent exploration and production company with assets in Azerbaijan, announces the financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Greenfields' functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar.

General Highlights:

• Approval of the Plan of Development ("POD") for rehabilitation and development of the Gum Deniz oil field and Bahar gas field in the Bahar ERDPSA is expected to be officially received from SOCAR in July 2011.
• Approval of the POD from SOCAR will start the performance period in which the Contractor Parties (Bahar Energy and SOA) are required to increase production in the rehabilitation area within three years to 150% of the 2008 production levels from the Gum Deniz oil field and the Bahar gas field of each of oil and natural gas. The gross 2008 production levels of the Gum Deniz oil field and the Bahar gas field were 1,233 bbl/d and 18.8 mmcf/d, respectively.
• Workover rig operations are projected to start in July 2011 with the use of three older-style rigs provided by SOCAR and drilling operations are scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2011.

First Quarter 2011 Highlights:

• The Company's entitlement volumes from production for its net interest in the Bahar ERDPSA averaged 1,172 boe/d in the first quarter
• On January 1, 2011, Greenfields adopted the IFRS accounting and reporting standards. Prior to the adoption of IFRS, the Company followed Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("Canadian GAAP"). Greenfields has reported its results in accordance with IFRS starting in the first quarter 2011, with comparative IFRS information for the 2010 fiscal year.

Overview:

Mr. John W. Harkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greenfields, reports "SOCAR has indicated that they should be providing their final approval of our Bahar Plan of Development by mid July 2011. This is a significant milestone for the project as it will start the performance period in which the Contractor Parties (Bahar Energy and SOA) are required to increase production in the rehabilitation area within three years to 1.5 times the 2008 production levels from the Gum Deniz oil field and the Bahar gas field of each of oil and natural gas. Meeting this performance target confirms the contract period for a minimum of 25 years."

Operational Activities:

Mr. Rich MacDougal, Chief Operating Officer, advises that Greenfields, through its 33.33% affiliate Bahar Energy, has started the field workover and redevelopment programs with the acquisition of both 2-D (76 of 144 linear kilometers acquired) and 3-D seismic (77 square kilometers planned) and the planning for the forthcoming 164 well workover and development drilling campaign in the Bahar gas field and the Gum Deniz oil field. The workover program is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2011 (using three in- country SOCAR drilling rigs) and development drilling (using two imported rigs) in the last quarter of 2011. The in-country rigs are now on location while the first of the two new workover rigs is expected to arrive in the third quarter 2011. The second rig is expected to follow in the first quarter of 2012.

In preparation for the workover and drilling, Bahar Energy has completed several facility upgrades and started an extensive refurbishing program on six offshore platforms. Bahar Energy has acquired recompletion equipment, workover materials and the two western-style workover rigs noted above. The initial Phase-1 development drilling program for the Gum Deniz field includes 57 development wells and 107 existing-well workovers.

Mr. Alex Warmath, Chief Technical Officer, reports that during the first quarter of 2011 Greenfields' share of entitlement production averaged 448 boe/d and 4,349 mcf/d or approximately 1,172 boe/d. This production was from a total of 45 active wells from both the Gum Deniz and Bahar fields located in the Bahar ERDPSA.

The Company's 33.33% share of Bahar Energy production for the second quarter declined by approximately 7% from January 2011 to 1,129 boe/d (453 bbl/d and 4.06 mmcf/d). No drilling or significant re-completion activity has been undertaken since the effective date of October 1, 2010. The limited drilling, recompletion and resulting production declines indicate the lack of readily available equipment and materials necessary to complete routine well maintenance and repairs.

The 2-D seismic and 3-D seismic programs are both progressing but, due to equipment and weather setbacks, both seismic programs are approximately 45 days behind our expectations. Based on the progress to-date, completion of the first 2-D seismic shoots is anticipated to be completed in early August 2011. These lines will be the first that have ever been shot over the Bahar and Gum Deniz fields in the Bahar ERDPSA

In the Bahar (BE-2) exploration area, the shooting of the 3-D seismic program will start up immediately upon the completion of the 2-D program. Completion of the 3-D seismic program is projected to be in October 2011. If the 3-D seismic results confirm an attractive target in the BE-2 exploration area, Bahar Energy will plan to move one of the drilling rigs temporarily off the Gum Deniz oil field development program to drill an exploratory well there in 2012.

Forward-looking information in this press release includes, but is not limited to, information concerning potential future acquisitions.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements could vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information.

The term "boe" can be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A barrel of oil equivalent ("boe") conversion ratio of 6 thousand cubic feet ("mcf") of gas to 1 barrel ("bbl") of crude oil is based on an energy content conversion method primarily applicable "at the burner" tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
