Zenith Achieves Record Monthly Production for Argentina During January

  • 92

Calgary, Alberta / ACCESSWIRE / February 3, 2015 / Zenith Energy Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: ZEE) is pleased to announce production numbers for its wholly-owned Argentinean subsidiary, Petrolera Patagonia srl. Production for the month of January from the Don Alberto and Don Ernesto fields reached a new high of 5,183 barrels.

Zenith's operations team has continued its workover program at Don Alberto and Don Ernesto during the month of January, allowing the company to achieve its third consecutive month of record production. While the Argentinean Government had mandated a US$60 floor value for Escalante crude, the Company was able to sell its production at a price of US$63 per barrel. Zenith management notes that the realized price of $63 per barrel for Escalante is US$3.00 or 5% higher than the anticipated US$60 per barrel mark cited in Zenith's news release of January 13, 2015. Additionally, it is important to note that this sales price represents a premium of 18.9% and 30.6% to the respective closing spot values for Brent (US$52.99) and WTI (US$48.24) crude on Friday, January 30th, 2015.

About Zenith Energy Ltd.

Zenith focuses on near term producing properties that can be further optimized with its engineering and technical expertise. To maximize shareholder value, Zenith targets acquisitions of production opportunities that offer strong logistics and close proximity to refineries and pipelines. Zenith's management and directors have extensive international and governmental experience and possess the technical knowledge to execute this strategy.

Zenith management is actively pursuing onshore fields with low acquisition costs from national or senior companies that have chosen to allocate their capital to unlock non-traditional resources with typically higher costs. Zenith's acquisition costs are further minimized by a strategy of reinvesting a portion of future cash flows back into remediation and capital improvements typically forgone on older fields. Combining the use of modern technological practices and the Company's technical expertise, management continues to demonstrate the capacity to increase production and optimize remaining reserves.

Neither 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.
