Greenfields Petroleum Corporation Provides Operational Update for the Bahar Project in Azerbaijan

HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwired - April 7, 2014) -

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 provide an operational update for the Bahar project in Azerbaijan.

Field production increased again in March 2014 over the prior month as a result of continuing workover operations in the two fields. For March 2014, Greenfields' 33.33% share of Bahar Energy Limited's entitlement volumes have averaged approximately 11 mmcf/d for natural gas and 504 bbl/d for oil, a 25% and 23% increase, respectively, over February 2014.

The operating company of the Bahar project, Bahar Energy Operating Company, continues its work in the redevelopment of the Gum Deniz and Bahar fields.

Workovers and recompletions have been responsible for most of the recent production additions in both fields. The BH-208 well was worked over with new perforations added in the I series sands and is currently producing 5 mmcf/d. The 3-Phase pump was reinstalled on GD-456 well and production has increased an additional 100 bbl/d.

While workovers are proceeding on Platform 2, the PSG 1 rig had been preparing to do further testing in the V-VIII series sands in the recently drilled GD-774 well prior to possible sidetracking. The PSG 3 rig has not completed technical and insurance certification to date, so drilling has not started in the eastern flank of the Gum Deniz field.

The acquisition of the 200 square kilometer 3-D survey over the Gum Deniz field area by PGS-Khazar continued in March. Weather conditions again impeded production, with high winds and seas limiting the contractor to only 7 days of shooting for the month, during which 6.1 square kilometers were acquired. The total 3-D seismic acquired to date is 13.8 square kilometers. With the anticipated arrival of improving weather conditions during spring and summer months, the production is expected to improve.

The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by the Company, including, but not limited to, expectations and assumptions concerning the success of optimization and efficiency improvement projects, the availability of capital, current legislation, receipt of required regulatory approval, the success of future drilling and development activities, the performance of existing wells, the performance of new wells, general economic conditions, availability of required equipment and services, weather conditions and prevailing commodity prices.

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 Company uses a 6mcf: 1bbl ratio to calculate its share of entitlement sales from the Bahar Project for its financial reporting and reserves disclosure.
