SOLO OIL PLC

("Solo" or the "Company")

Submission of Ntorya Development Plan

Solo is pleased to announce that the Development Plan for the Ntorya gas condensate field, located onshore in the Ruvuma Basin Tanzania has been submitted to the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation ("TPDC") for approval. The Development Plan is a key step towards monetisation of the Ntorya field which lies within the Ruvuma Basin Petroleum Sharing Agreement ("Ruvuma PSA") where Solo holds a 25% working interest.

The Development Plan, which incorporates the findings from the Gas Commercialisation Study conducted by io oil and gas consulting (a joint venture between a Baker Hughes (a GE Company) and McDermott ), is a comprehensive review of the existing data and includes the findings of new mapping and the recently upgraded resource estimates of approximately 1.3 trillion cubic feet ("tcf") Pmean gas initially in place ("GIIP").

The Development Plan considers several options for gas monetisation including; Compressed Natural Gas, Gas to Power and directly connecting the gas produced from Ntorya to the Madimba Plant in South Eastern Tanzania via a pipeline approximately 35 kilometre in length. Aminex plc ("Aminex"), the operator, has applied for a staged development of the field to allow for an early production scheme with the existing wells and an additional programme of further development wells based on demand.

As part of the development of the Ntorya field and in order to further delineate the reservoir and meet the expanding gas market in Tanzania, Aminex and Solo will review the timing for spudding the Ntorya-3 well and will update the market during Q4 2017.

Neil Ritson, Executive Chairman of Solo, commented:

"Submission of the Ntorya Development Plan is a major milestone as we progress towards unlocking major value in the field and in the Ruvuma PSA generally. Solo is working closely with Aminex on the development and monetisation options and also continues to consider its own monetisation options, which have been greatly enhanced by the significant resources upgrade announced earlier this week and the filing of the development plan. We will continue to update the market as progress on commercialisation proceeds."
