Stream Receives Approval of Delvina Gas Field Plan of Development


CALGARY, Jan. 23 /CNW/ - Stream Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSX-V: SKO) (the
"Company") is pleased to announce that the Ministry of Economy, Trade
and Energy of Albania has given its formal approval for the execution
of the Plan of Development ("PoD") for the Delvina gas field. The
formal approval was the final ratification of the PoD that was
submitted in early 2010. The approval of the PoD allows Stream to
enhance production and sell petroleum products under Albpetrol's
existing license for a period of 25 years with an option to extend, at
the Company's election, in five year increments thereafter.

Delvina is one of the largest onshore gas fields in south east Europe
and the only major producing gas field in Albania. Current production
from the two existing wells in the field is 700 mcf/d of natural gas
and 47 bbl/mmcf of natural gas liquids ("NGL"). The two wells to be
worked over this year are integral to Delvina's development program for
recompletion, fracturing, seismic monitoring and extended well tests;
these will offer additional insights to the geological and reservoir
characterization of the Delvina field and similar structures.

In addition, the exploration phases of the block offer significant
growth potential for the Company. In October 2010, Stream kicked off
Phase II of Delvina block's Plan of Exploration ("PoE") previously
submitted to the Albanian authorities. Phase I was completed mid 2010;
Phase II includes the drilling of a vertical exploration well in the
first quarter of 2013 after the completion of further geological
assessment and the integration of new data.

Connected to potential markets by existing pipelines, Delvina gas field
and block production has the capacity to support significant thermal
power generation for Albania or the enhanced oil recovery ("EOR")
projects for the Company and others.

"We're pleased to receive the final ratification of our plan of
development for the Delvina field," said Dr. Sotiris Kapotas, President
and CEO. "Natural gas is in extremely short supply in Albania, and as
the largest onshore gas field in south east Europe, it provides Stream
with the potential to significantly increase available resources. In
addition, an internal source for natural gas will contribute to the
economics of our future EOR projects."

Stream continues the procurement of goods and services in preparation
for its 2011 development program in Delvina, which contemplates
workovers of the two existing wells and preparation for drilling a
horizontal well in the field. In addition, Management is preparing to
evaluate NGL potential upside, future horizontal well plans and NGL
development.
