Lotshi Block, onshore DRC: The Lotshi Block onshore Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC") is drill ready with plans for a 3-4 well drill program for the summer of 2013. The Block is situated on the far west side of the DRC contiguous to Cabinda, Angola, next to the Atlantic Ocean. As previously reported, a prospective resource estimate for the Lotshi Block has been prepared and includes a mean estimate of 313,176,000 barrels of potentially recoverable oil. The report was prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton (D&M), an independent international petroleum consulting firm located in Dallas, Texas. The report is available on SEDAR and on the EnerGulf website. The block is believed to be on trend with the billion barrel M'boundi field in Republic of Congo. EnerGulf has also recently completed the construction of a school and a health clinic on the Block for the local communities, per the terms of the Production Sharing Contract. Block 1711, offshore Namibia: EnerGulf continues on behalf of the Government of Namibia to find a majority participant for Block 1711. The Company is marketing the project and is conducting data room presentations with qualified industry potential participants. The Company intends to secure a JV participant in the first half of 2013. A prospective resource report for Block 1711 was prepared covering four prospects and nine leads. The report includes a mean estimate of 3,166,000,000 barrels of potentially recoverable oil. The report was prepared by independent oil and natural gas reservoir engineers Netherland Sewell and Associates Inc. of Dallas, Texas, and is available on SEDAR and the EnerGulf website. EnerGulf has a 15% working interest in Block 1711. The upcoming work program calls for a 3D seismic program in the southern part of the Block with a follow up well.

Jeff Greenblum, EnerGulf Chairman and CEO comments, "We are finding strong interest in our projects among various major and mid-size energy companies. Drilling activity continues in Namibia with Galp Energia of Portugal's recent partnership with HRT of Brazil in three offshore blocks. BP, Petrobras and Tullow are also active in the area. We believe we have two world- class projects with relatively low geological and geopolitical risk compared to other West Africa opportunities. We are confident that the quality of our Namibian and DRC assets will continue to attract the interest of oil majors and large independents in the region. We have worked hard, so that the DRC Lotshi Block is now drill ready. Also, we are delighted to have Eliecer Palacios join our Board and look forward to benefiting from his considerable expertise in the energy and capital markets."
