Publication of Economic Analysis

Rose Petroleum plc (AIM Ticker: ROSE) is pleased to announce the results of an economic analysis on Rose's Mancos and Paradox Oil and Gas Projects, Utah, USA (the "Project") prepared by Christie Ward Schultz, an Independent Consultant Petroleum Engineer. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Rose Petroleum (Utah) LLC ("Rose Utah") holds a 75% working interest (59.25% net revenue interest) in certain oil, gas and hydrocarbon leases in Grand and Emery Counties, Utah covering 230,000 acres (the "Leases").

o Cane Creek - Paradox Basin (gross) US$ 1,473,247,200 (US$1.47 Billion)

o Mancos - Uinta Basin (gross) US$ 941,192,100 (US$941 million)

· Cane Creek (10%) Rate of return (ROR) 125%

· Mancos (10%) ROR 96.31%

o Mancos - Uinta Basin (gross) US$ 503,979,082 (US$503 million)

 

Matthew Idiens, CEO, said: "Along with the Ryder Scott's reserves report released today, we commissioned Christie Ward Schultz to produce an economic analysis of both individual Well and various Project development scenarios based on analogous Mancos and Cane Creek Production and Well costs from the surrounding area. The highlights above show the potential size of the Project and the models have been created using conservative assumptions on development role out and costs. With both basins being actively developed the infrastructure available to us is excellent with road, rail, pipeline, power, etc. are all readily available. The Leases are also in an ideal location being only about an hour's drive to Grand Junction, which is the region's Oil & Gas services hub offering drill rigs, fraccing equipment, etc. Basically, we could not be better set."

About Rose Petroleum

Rose Petroleum plc (AIM Ticker: ROSE) is focusing on developing its oil & gas portfolio, whilst seeking to create value from its existing mining portfolio. In 2013, Rose Petroleum raised additional capital, appointed John Blair as Head of New Ventures and brought in an in-house technical team including geological and drilling expertise to pursue new oil and gas assets.

 

In January 2014, the Company announced that it had completed the acquisition of three licences in Germany, two licences in Baden-Württemberg covering approximately 635,000 acres (2,560 square kilometres) with each licence area represented to have at least four target pay zones, and the third licence covering 657,000 acres (2,640 square kilometres) located in the Weiden Basin (northeast Bavaria). 

 

In March 2014, Rose signed a farm-in agreement under which its newly formed subsidiary, Rose Petroleum (Utah) LLC, can earn 75% of certain oil, gas and hydrocarbon leases covering approximately 195,000 net acres in Grand and Emery Counties, Utah, USA, within the Paradox and Uinta basins. This acreage was then increased to 230,000 in May 2014. Management intends to build on these projects to establish a balanced international asset portfolio.
