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 announce recent operational
results.
June 2013 operating highlights
-- The Company's estimated entitlement sales volumes from production for
its net interest in the Bahar Project averaged 574 bbl/d and 6,673
mcf/d, or 1,686 boe/d for the month of June 2013 versus 443 bbl/d and
3,405 mcf/d, or 1,011 boe/d, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Production of oil and gas has been increasing steadily due to our
drilling operations in the Gum Deniz Field and workover operations in
the Bahar Gas Field.
-- During June 2013, Bahar Energy continued drilling operations on the Gum
Deniz 716 well in the central area of the field setting 9-5/8" casing at
2,096 meters. The rig has drilled out the bottom of casing with an 8-
3/8" bit and is currently drilling at 2,440 meters. We expect the 716
well to reach target depth within the week. The workover on the 209 well
in the Bahar Gas Field continues with perforating and testing zone IX
for additional field production. To increase our oil development
activities, a crew has been mobilized to begin rigging up and
commissioning our second drilling rig, PSG3, on platform 208a in the Gum
Deniz Field. We expect to spud the first well on the 208a platform by
early September 2013.
-- The Bahar 2 Exploration Area 3-D survey processing has been completed.
Interpretation is underway and is expected to be completed in Q3 2013.
-- The contract for the 200 square kilometer Gum Deniz 3-D seismic was
awarded to PGS-Khazar. The contractor has commenced mobilizing the
equipment and obtaining the necessary permits to begin seismic
acquisition in mid-Q3 2013. The seismic acquisition is expected to take
approximately 4-5 months depending on weather and other factors.
-- As a result of a recent internal reorganization of the Company and the
Company continuing to focus greater attention on the Bahar Project,
Greenfields estimates that it will be able to reduce its corporate
general and administrative expenses by one third by year-end 2013. The
reductions are primarily being realized by eliminating business
development activities and relocating some of the technical activities
into cost recoverable operating subsidiaries in Azerbaijan.

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. These risks include, but are not
limited to, risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g.,
operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes
in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital
expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates
and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and health, safety,
political and environmental risks), commodity price and exchange rate

Note to Oil and Gas Disclosures
Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio
of 6 mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily
applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the
wellhead.
