CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 17, 2016) - Pan Orient Energy Corp. ("Pan Orient" or the "Company")
(TSX VENTURE:POE) reports 2016 second quarter consolidated financial and operating results. Please note that all amounts
are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and BOPD refers to barrels of oil per day.
The Company is today filing its unaudited consolidated financial statements as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2016
and related management's discussion and analysis with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Copies of these documents
may be obtained online at www.sedar.com or the Company's website, www.panorient.ca.
Commenting today on Pan Orient's 2016 second quarter results, President and CEO Jeff Chisholm stated: "The second quarter of
2016 in Thailand was focused on operating cost reductions and procurement / planning for an imminent four well workover program
and a fourth quarter 2016 exploration drilling program. In Indonesia, activity centered on completing the Batu Gajah PSC
extension application, which was submitted just after quarter-end, and planning for an Akeh-1 hydrocarbon discovery appraisal
well. In Canada, reservoir modeling incorporating recent demonstration project well performance data was completed for the
Sawn Lake Bluesky formation reservoir and this has formed the basis for an updated Sawn Lake contingent resources report that is
currently underway and expected to be competed in September. These activities in all three focus areas are intended to
continue moving these assets up the value curve with modest capital expenditure in a time of low oil price".
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2016
Indonesia
- The most recent information from the operator is that the first exploration well at the Anggun prospect of the East Jabung
Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") is planned to commence in the late third quarter of 2016, followed by drilling in the
fourth quarter.
- An appraisal well is required by the oil and gas regulator of the Government of Indonesia for the Akeh-1 discovery at the
Batu Gajah PSC. Preparations are underway towards drilling of the Akeh-2 appraisal well in late 2016 and the Company has
submitted a request for additional exploration period beyond the stated January 15, 2017 expiry date of the Batu Gajah PSC to
complete this work.
Thailand
- Oil sales, net to Pan Orient's 50.01% equity interest in the Thailand Joint Venture, were 253 BOPD in the first half of
2016, with funds flow from operations of $0.9 million ($18.89 per barrel).
- Approval was received on May 10, 2016 from the Government of Thailand for a 215.87 square kilometer "reserved area" for
exploration at Concession L53 for a period of up to five years.
- Exploration and development program for the remainder of 2016 including the "A" North East prospect scheduled for the
fourth quarter, four workovers which will commence shortly and potentially a second exploration well.
Sawn Lake, Canada (Pan Orient's 71.8% subsidiary Andora owns a 50% working interest and is the
operator)

level in January and February 2016 of an average of 615 barrels per day ("BOPD") (307 BOPD net to Andora) with an average
instantaneous steam-oil ratio ("ISOR") of 2.1 from the one SAGD wellpair. The demonstration project has successfully
captured the key data associated with the objectives of the demonstration project and operations were suspended at the end of
February 2016.
- An application for a potential expansion at Sawn Lake to 3,200 BOPD was submitted on April 29, 2016.

Thailand with working capital and non-current deposits at June 30, 2016 of $51.1 million and no long-term debt.
2016 SECOND QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS
The financial statements reflect that on February 2, 2015 the Company sold a 49.99% equity interest in its subsidiary Pan
Orient Energy (Siam) Ltd. ("POS") and retained a 50.01% equity interest. From February 2, 2015 forward the retained 50.01%
equity interest is reclassified as a jointly controlled Joint Venture and Pan Orient's 50.01% equity interest in the working
capital, assets, capital expenditures, liabilities and operations of POS are recorded as Investment in Thailand Joint
Venture.
- Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2016 of $1.6 million ($0.03 loss per share) compared
with $2.2 million ($0.04 loss per share) in the first quarter of 2016 and $3.2 million ($0.06 loss per share) in the second
quarter of 2015.
- For the second quarter of 2016, the Company recorded total corporate funds flow used in operations, which includes the
economic results of the 50.01% interest in the Thailand joint venture, of $0.8 million ($0.01 loss per share). This
compares with total corporate funds flow used in operations for the first quarter of 2016 of $2.1 million ($0.04 loss per
share). Compared with corporate funds flow used in operations from the first quarter of 2016, the second quarter had:
- minor foreign exchange gains of $22 thousand ($1.1 million loss in the first quarter)
- an income tax recovery of $0.2 million in Canada ($0.6 million expense in the first quarter)
- Indonesia exploration expenses $0.8 million ($0.1 million expense in the first quarter)
- Economic funds flow from Thailand operations higher by $0.2 million primarily due to higher oil prices and lower
operating expenses during the second quarter
- Pan Orient had capital expenditures of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2016, with $0.4 million in Indonesia and $0.5
million in Canada at the Sawn Lake SAGD demonstration project of Andora. In addition, Pan Orient's share of Thailand joint
venture capital expenditures was minor at $7 thousand, which was recorded in Investment in Thailand Joint Venture.

non-current deposits were comprised of $41.2 million cash, $4.2 million of non-current deposits, $6.5 million of Canadian taxes
receivable (of which $6.4 million was received in July 2016), other receivables of $0.8 million and less Canadian taxes payable
of $0.4 million and accounts payable of $1.3 million. There is $1.3 million of equipment inventory at the Batu Gajah PSC
in Indonesia for utilization in future drilling operations at the PSC. In addition, Pan Orient's Investment in Thailand
Joint Venture includes $2.8 million of Thailand working capital and non-current deposits and $2.0 million of equipment
inventory to be utilized for future Thailand Joint Venture operations.
- Pan Orient had outstanding capital commitments as at June 30, 2016 of $2.0 million in Indonesia associated with the
Company's 49% participating interest in the East Jabung PSC. In Canada, capital commitments are $0.3 million with respect
to contracted natural gas pipeline tie-in and tariff charges associated with the Sawn Lake SAGD demonstration project of
Andora.
- Pan Orient renewed the normal course issuer bid in March 2016 and Pan Orient is authorized to purchase, for cancellation,
up to 4,549,963 of its common shares during the period of March 28, 2016 to March 28, 2017. No common shares have been
repurchased under the renewed normal course issuer bid.
- Results Net to Pan Orient's 50.01% Interest in the Thailand Joint Venture for Concession L53
- Average oil sales of 238 BOPD during the second quarter of 2016 and generated $0.5 million in funds flow from
operations, or $24.73 per barrel. This compares with 269 BOPD in the first quarter of 2016 (a 12% decrease) and $13.71
per barrel in funds flow from operations (an 80% increase). The average realized sales price per barrel increased from
$37.07 in the first quarter of 2016 to $46.74 in the second quarter of 2016.
- Per barrel amounts during the second quarter of 2016 were a realized price for oil sales of $46.74, transportation
expenses of $1.52, operating expenses of $10.06, general and administrative expenses of $8.31 and a 5% royalty to the
Thailand government of $2.31. Oil sales revenue during this period was allocated 42% to expenses for transportation,
operating, and general & administrative, 5% to the government of Thailand for royalties, and 53% to the Thailand Joint
Venture. No Thailand petroleum income taxes or Special Remuneratory Benefit tax was recorded during the quarter.
- Oil sales in July 2016 at Concession L53, net to Pan Orient's 50.01% interest, were 214 BOPD.
- The original nine year exploration period for Concession L53 expired in January 2016. The Government of Thailand
approved a 215.87 square kilometer "reserved area" with the payment of an annual surface reservation fee of $0.8 million
($0.4 million net to Pan Orient's 50.01% ownership interest) for up to five years. This surface reservation fee is
reimbursable through work program expenditures and the reserved area encompasses all of the remaining prospects defined
within Concession L53 based on full coverage 3D seismic data.
- Indonesia
- Capital expenditures of $0.4 million during the second quarter of 2016, and $0.9 million for the first half of 2016,
primarily related to capitalized G&A expenses at the Batu Gajah PSC.
- Batu Gajah, Onshore Sumatra Indonesia (Pan Orient 77% ownership & Operator)
- Preparations are currently underway towards tendering for services to be utilized in the drilling of the Akeh-2
deviated appraisal well in the fourth quarter of 2016 from the existing Akeh-1 well pad.
- The Batu Gajah PSC 10 year exploration phase expires in January of 2017 and the Company submitted an application in
July 2016 to request an additional exploration period to allow the time required to finish drilling and analysis of the
Akeh-2 appraisal well, apply for "Release from Exploration Status" and move forward to prepare a Plan of Development to
determine the likelihood of the commerciality of the Akeh-1 discovery. The Government of Indonesia will determine
at their discretion if an extension is to be granted, and the length of any extension which may be granted.
- Sawn Lake Alberta Heavy Oil (Operated by Andora, in which Pan Orient has a 71.8% ownership)
- The demonstration project has proven that the SAGD process works in the Bluesky formation at Sawn Lake, established
characteristics of ramp up through stabilization of SAGD performance, indicated the productive capability and ISOR, and
provided critical information required for well and facility design associated with future commercial
development. Production results to date are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate
recovery and the Sawn Lake demonstration project has not yet proven that it is commercially viable.
- An application for a potential expansion at the demonstration project site to 3,200 BOPD has been submitted. It is
expected that a reactivation of the demonstration project facility and wellpair would be considered as part of a potential
commercial expansion to 3,200 BOPD. An expansion is dependent on regulatory approval, completion of detailed
engineering and a higher commodity price environment to support project economics and financing.
- Capital expenditures for the Sawn Lake demonstration project during the second quarter of 2016 were $0.5 million, and
$1.6 million for the first half of 2016. Capital expenditures related to suspension of demonstration project
operations at the end of February 2016, costs associated with filing the application for potential commercial expansion at
the demonstration project site, capitalization of expenses and revenues of the demonstration project and capitalized
G&A. Andora capitalized $0.9 million of demonstration project expenses less revenues in first half of 2016.
OUTLOOK
INDONESIA
Batu Gajah, Onshore Sumatra Indonesia (Pan Orient 77% ownership & Operator)
The Company is preparing to drill the Akeh-2 appraisal well in the fourth quarter of 2016 and is working through the process
with the Government of Indonesia related to the application for extension of the exploration period for the Batu Gajah PSC.
There have been discussions with a number of parties since December 2015 seeking a partner in the Batu Gajah PSC and these
discussions are currently on hold pending further information regarding a decision by the Government of Indonesia to grant an
extension to the PSC.
East Jabung PSC, Onshore Sumatra Indonesia (Pan Orient 49% ownership & Non Operator)
Pan Orient looks forward to the planned drilling of the first East Jabung exploration well at the Anggun prospect in the
fourth quarter of 2016. The Anggun prospect is a relatively shallow, onshore, potentially high impact target adjacent to
existing infrastructure and possesses some of the best fiscal terms in Indonesia. Success at Anggun would have the potential
to materially transform Pan Orient within a framework of manageable appraisal and development costs and in the context of Pan
Orient's available financial resources. As future timing and activity information is provided by the operator, Pan Orient
will provide timely updates to its shareholders.
THAILAND
Concession L53 Onshore (Pan Orient Energy (Siam) Ltd., in which Pan Orient has 50.01% ownership)
Oil production at onshore Concession L53 benefits from having a low cost structure, as demonstrated during the first half of
2016 when the Brent reference price for crude oil averaged US$39.14 per barrel.
The remaining 2016 Thailand capital program is scheduled to include an exploration well at the "A" North East prospect and
four workovers (including new zone testing at L53-B). A second exploration well before the end of 2016 may be added to the
program.
CANADA
Sawn Lake (Operated by Andora, in which Pan Orient has a 71.8% ownership)
Pan Orient is pleased with the results of the Sawn Lake SAGD demonstration project and is moving forward with steps which
allow for future development at Sawn Lake. The Sawn Lake reservoir model and contingent resources report are being updated
to incorporate the results of the demonstration project and the application for a potential commercial expansion at the
demonstration project site was submitted at the end of April. It is recognized that higher crude oil prices, and
specifically higher Western Canada Select reference prices, will be required for future development.
Corporate
Pan Orient continues to focus on and move towards demonstrating the value of its exploration portfolio in Indonesia, Thailand
and Canada. Pan Orient maintains a strong financial position allowing us to conduct key exploration activities and ensure
financial flexibility.
Pan Orient is a Calgary, Alberta based oil and gas exploration and production company with operations currently located
onshore Thailand, Indonesia and in Western Canada.

On February 2, 2015 the Company sold a 49.99% equity interest in its subsidiary Pan Orient Energy (Siam)
Ltd. and retained a 50.01% equity interest in the company. The transaction resulted in Pan Orient Energy (Siam) Ltd.
changing from a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary to a joint arrangement where the Company shares joint control with
the purchaser of the 49.99% equity interest. The resulting joint arrangement is classified as a Joint Venture under IFRS 11
and is required to be accounted for using the equity method of accounting rather than consolidated as it had previously
been when Pan Orient Energy (Siam) Ltd. was a controlled subsidiary. The change in accounting from consolidation to the
equity method has resulted in the accounts of Pan Orient Energy (Siam) Ltd. being derecognized from the consolidated
financial statements and a net investment related to the portion of the interest retained being recognized at its estimated
fair value upon initial recognition. Pan Orient's 50.01% equity interest in the assets, liabilities, working capital,
operations and capital expenditures of Pan Orient Energy (Siam) Ltd. from February 2, 2015 forward are recorded in
Investment in Thailand Joint Venture. |

Corporate funds flow from operations is cash flow from operating activities prior to changes in non-cash
working capital and reclamation costs plus the corresponding amount from the Thailand operations which is recorded in Joint
Venture for financial statement purposes. This measure is used by management to analyze operating performance and leverage.
Funds flow as presented does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore it may not be comparable
with the calculation of similar measures of other entities. Funds flow is not intended to represent operating cash flow or
operating profits for the period nor should it be viewed as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities, net
earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. |
