CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Sept. 22, 2016) - Perisson Petroleum Corporation ("Perisson" or the
"Company") (TSX VENTURE:POG) is pleased to announce that it has been successful in renegotiating the royalty burden that was part
of the assignment of the Ribstone acquisition as announced on August 15, 2016. Closing of the acquisition is expected to occur in
late September, 2016 when the vendor obtains shareholder approval for the transaction.
The royalty burden was previously 10% of the oil production which would be produced from the Ribstone lands. The Alberta
Energy Regulator has assigned 6 million barrels of oil in place to the Ribstone pool, and, to date, only 5% of this oil has been
recovered.
The vendor has identified 10 future McLaren well locations and 8 Sparky well locations which it believes can be placed on
production for less than $15,000/BOE/day. This reduced royalty burden will now significantly reduce the deductions which
apply to the Perisson oil production, and make future investments for drilling and improvements to the property, even more
economically attractive as Perisson develops the property to its fullest potential.
Upon closing of the Acquisition, Perisson will become operator of the properties and intends to improve the operating
efficiencies at Ribstone by recompleting one of the existing wells, or by drilling a new well, to provide onsite water disposal
and reduce the current operating expenses.
Perisson is also pleased to be a member of the 8020 Connect network, and invite all of our shareholders to become members with
