Petro One Discovers New Oil Pool

Petro One Energy Corp. (TSX-V:POP - News)(Frankfurt:C6K - News) is pleased to report that the first hole of its first summer drill program has led to the discovery of a previously unknown light oil pool on the Company's 100%-owned J5 property in Saskatchewan, Canada. This conventional vertical well demonstrated an excellent flow rate of 9.63 cubic metres (60.57 bbl) of light oil to surface in just 7.75 hours from the Viking sand at a depth of 736.5 m, without stimulation, swabbing or pumping. Flowing pressure in the tubing measured at surface was stable at 1,000 kPa throughout the flow period, indicating a reservoir of excellent quality. The well has been shut in pending installation of a separator and adequate tanks later this week, at which time it will be placed in full production. With oil flowing to surface on its own, and excellent reservoir pressures, a pump is not necessary. Once the well is on stream, the results of a 48-hour production test and fluid analyses will be announced.
