HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwired - July 2, 2013) -

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 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.

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.
