ShaMaran Announces Atrush 2016 Year-End Reserves Estimates

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/16/17 -- ShaMaran Petroleum Corp. ("ShaMaran" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: SNM)(OMX: SNM) reports estimated reserves and contingent resources for the Atrush block as of December 31, 2016. The reserves and contingent resources estimates were provided by McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. ("McDaniel"), the Company's independent qualified resources evaluator, and were prepared in accordance with standards set out in the Canadian National Instrument NI 51-101 and Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (COGEH).

Limited new subsurface information was obtained during 2016, which resulted in no changes in Gross Working Interest Reserves and Contingent Resource estimates. Reserves Net Present Values and Net Reserves were updated to reflect timing of first production, projected costs, the fourth amendment to the Atrush production sharing contract, the Atrush Facilitation Agreement and oil price assumptions.

The Company's crude oil reserves as of December 31, 2016 and the respective net present values of the reserves based on forecast prices and costs were estimated to be as follows:

COMPANY ESTIMATED RESERVES
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2016

                                                                       Total
                                                                     Proved,

(1)  The Atrush Field contains crude oil of variable density even within a
     single reservoir unit and as such the actual split between Light/Medium
     Oil and Heavy Oil is uncertain.
(2)  Company gross reserves are based on the Company's 20.1 percent working
     interest share of the property gross reserves.
(3)  Company net reserves are based on Company share of total Cost and
     Profit Revenues. Note, as the government pays income taxes on behalf of
     the Company out of the government's profit oil share, the net reserves
     were based on the effective pre-tax profit revenues by adjusting for
     the tax rate.

(1)  Based on a 20.1 percent Company working interest.
(2)  Based on forecast prices and costs at January 1, 2017 (see Price
     Schedules Table 13).
(3)  Interest expenses and corporate overhead, etc. were not included.
(4)  Possible delays in receiving revenue payments have not been
     incorporated.
(5)  The net present values may not necessarily represent the fair market
     value of the reserves.
(6)  The net present values are exclusive of $15.9 million in loans
     principal plus interest due to the Company by the KRG as at December
     31, 2016. The loans were provided in accordance with the terms of the
     Atrush Block PSC and are related to the Company's share of funding
     provided by the Non-Government Contracting Entities ("NGCEs") for the
     construction of the Atrush Feeder Pipeline on the KRG's behalf and for
     the Company's share of NGCE funding of the KRG's share of certain
     Atrush development costs. The PSC requires at the commencement of oil
     exports from Atrush the loan balances outstanding at that time will be
     repaid to the NGCEs in 24 equal monthly installments.

The reserves and net present values were estimated using forecast prices and costs. The sales oil price was based on the McDaniel January 1, 2017 Brent price forecast. All of the Atrush oil production is assumed to be exported via the Khurmala-Fishkabur pipeline to Turkey. A 35 kilometre pipeline is being built from the Atrush Field to a tie-in point on this export line and will be operated by the KRG. McDaniel estimates a discount to Brent crude oil to account for quality differential, marketing fees and pipeline tariff for export via Ceyhan in Turkey.

The Company's crude oil and natural gas contingent resources as of December 31, 2016 were estimated to be as follows:

(1)  Company Gross resources are based on a 20.1 percent working interest
     share of the property gross resources.
(2)  There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce
     any portion of the resources.
(3)  The Atrush Field contains crude oil of variable density even within a
     single reservoir unit and as such the actual split between Light/Medium
     Oil and Heavy Oil is uncertain.
(4)  These are unrisked contingent resources that do not take into account
     the chance of development, which is defined as the probability of a
     project being commercially viable. Quantifying the chance of
     development requires consideration of both economic contingencies and
     other contingencies, such as legal, regulatory, market access,
     political, social license, internal and external approvals and
     commitment to project finance and development timing. As many of these
     factors are extremely difficult to quantify, the chance of development
     is uncertain and must be used with caution. The chance of development
     was estimated to be 80 percent for the Crude Oil and 5 percent for the
     Natural Gas.

The contingent resources represent the likely recoverable volumes associated with further phases of development after Phase 1. These are considered to be contingent resources rather than reserves due to the uncertainty over the future development plan which will depend in part on further field appraisal and Phase 1 production performance.

Prospective resources have not been re-evaluated since December 31, 2013.

The Atrush Block is operated by the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC ("TAQA") and is held 39.9% by TAQA, ShaMaran Petroleum Corp, through its wholly owned subsidiary General Exploration Partners, Inc. 20.1% and Marathon Oil KDV B.V., (a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE: MRO) 15%. Atrush reserves and resource estimates presented represent solely the view of ShaMaran and its experts.

The Company cautions readers regarding the reliance placed by them on forward-looking information as by its nature, it is based on current expectations regarding future events that involve a number of assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the Company.

Actual results may differ materially from those projected by management. Further, any forward-looking information is made only as of a certain date and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking information or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.

Reserves and resources: ShaMaran Petroleum Corp.'s reserve and contingent resource estimates are as at December 31, 2016, and have been prepared and audited in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101") and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGE Handbook"). Unless otherwise stated, all reserves estimates contained herein are the aggregate of "proved reserves" and "probable reserves", together also known as "2P reserves". Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

Contingent resources: Contingent resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable for the Company to produce any portion of the contingent resources.

BOEs: BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf per 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.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
