PetroShale Announces Production Update

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - June 24, 2015) - PetroShale Inc. ("PetroShale" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PSH)(OTCQX:PSHIF) is pleased to provide an estimate of our current production volumes.

Production has commenced from 5 gross (1.3 net) wells recently completed and tied-in to gas processing and transportation infrastructure. Total Company production, including these new volumes, is approximately 1,600 to 1,700 Boepd (1,250 to 1,320 Boepd net of royalty interest), an increase of 118% and 218% from our average first quarter 2015 and fourth quarter 2014 production, respectively. We anticipate these new wells, which form a significant portion of our corporate production, will be subject to natural declines as they mature.

Despite the challenging conditions currently facing the oil and gas industry, we continue to be encouraged by the performance of our US assets. By deliberately targeting land within the core of the North Dakota Bakken / Three Forks, and partnering with the best operators, we are exposed to the highest quality, most economic assets within the play. We believe this strategy will enable us to take advantage of the current low oil price environment by pursuing further acquisition and development opportunities in the core.

PetroShale is also pleased to announce the launch of our new corporate website at www.petroshaleinc.com, which features an enhanced Investor section, as well as more detailed descriptions of our strategy and operations and an updated investor presentation. We look forward to providing a further update to our shareholders with the release of our second quarter results.

Oil and Gas Advisories:

Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent ("boe") basis, natural gas volumes have been converted to boe using a ratio of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil (6 Mcf: 1 Bbl). This boe conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6 Mcf: 1 Bbl, utilizing a conversion ratio at 6 Mcf: 1 Bbl may be misleading as an indication of value. In this release, mboe refers to thousands of barrels of oil equivalent, while mbbls refers to thousands of barrels of oil, and mmcf refers to millions of cubic feet of natural gas.
