EL1116 Update

Enegi, the independent Oil and Gas Company with a portfolio of projects located in the UK North Sea, Newfoundland Canada, Ireland, and Jordan is pleased to announce that it has extended Period I of Exploration Licence EL1116, western Newfoundland for a period of 12 months.

As per the announcement of 23 December 2013 a drilling deposit of $250,000 has been paid by Black Spruce Exploration ("BSE") to the Canada-Newfoundland Offshore Petroleum Board ("C-NLOPB"). This has extended the initial five year licence period (Period I) for EL1116 by a further 12 months. This is in advance of the drilling programme which is planned to take place on the licence this year targeting the St George's Bay prospect. On completion of the well, under the terms of the licence, EL1116 will enter Period II and will then be valid for a further three years following the end of this extended 12 month period.

The well on EL1116 will be drilled, by BSE, following the anticipated successful drilling at the Garden Hill Field ("GHF") which is expected to commence in April. The St George's Bay prospect is expected to be drilled from onshore to offshore to delineate the offshore extent of the Garden Hill hydrothermal dolomite trend.

As announced on 11 April 2013, Enegi received the results of a Competent Person's Report ("CPR"), which was performed by Deloitte of Calgary and reaffirmed the Company's belief of the potential of the St George's Bay prospect.

The material conclusions drawn from the CPR were as follows:

· The St. George's Bay prospect offers clear potential which:

o possesses a combination trap configuration of both structure and stratigraphic elements within a gentle roll over anticline bounded by two thrust faults;

o possesses a mature source rock with migration and reservoir fully confirmed; and

o makes it viable for an exploration campaign and appraisal efforts.

· The prospect is estimated by Deloitte to contain:

Alan Minty, CEO of Enegi, commented:

"We are delighted to have gained this extension. With our partner BSE we are about to commence an extensive drilling programme across all our assets which we believe will demonstrate the full potential of the region."

About Enegi Oil

Enegi Oil Plc is an independent oil and gas company whose strategy is to build a diverse portfolio of assets with a strong emphasis on acquiring interests in marginal fields. These marginal fields are low risk highly-appraised projects and consequently the Company's entry cost will be low. Enegi will look to develop these assets utilising ABTechnology's buoy technology which is an appropriate solution and changes the development economics of the project. This is also expected to enable the early booking of reserves. The Company's current portfolio is made up of operations focused on opportunities around the Port au Port Peninsula in Newfoundland, Canada, the Clare Basin in County Clare, Ireland, the UK North Sea and Jordan. The Port au Port Peninsula is located in western Newfoundland, which, although lightly explored, is in an active petroleum system with light oil having been discovered on a number of occasions. The Clare Basin is located in western Ireland and initial technical studies show that it has the potential to contain shale gas. The Company's licences in the UK North Sea have discovered hydrocarbons on them and have been selected based on buoy technology operating criteria. The Company has also entered into the highly prospective Dead Sea and Wadi Araba in Jordan with its partner Korea Global Energy Corporation.
