PetroTal Reaches Total Depth on Second Bretaña Oil Well
Calgary, Alberta and Houston, Texas - April 10, 2019-PetroTal
Corp. ("PetroTal" or the "Company") (TSX-V: TAL and AIM: PTAL) is
pleased to announce that the BN 95-2-2-2XD oil development well
(the "well") which commenced drilling operations on February 26,
2019, has reach total depth.
The well is being completed as a producer in the Vivian
formation in the northern portion of the Bretaña structure. This is
the second oil well in the first phase of development of the
Bretaña oilfield. The well was directionally drilled to
approximately 3,040 meters total depth. Initial logs indicate a
total gross oil column of 24 meters with estimated net oil pay of
18.7 meters, in line with the Company's expectations. The indicated
oil water contact in the well was in direct correlation to the
other four wells previously drilled in the field.
Once completed the well will be placed online, expected in
approximately one week. The Company will provide details on flow
rates with the fourth quarter and year-end earnings release
scheduled for the week of April 22, 2019.
The discovery well, which came online in mid-2018, is producing
in line with management's expectations at an average of 950 - 1,000
barrels per day and has accumulated over 260,000 barrels of oil
produced to date.
Manolo Zuniga, President and Chief Executive Officer,
commented:
"We are pleased that the operations team was able to drill this
well on time and on budget. This is a testament to the entire team
from drillers, to contractors, to our corporate social
responsibility team who worked tirelessly to ensure safe and
efficient operations. The well logs provide an early indication
that the reservoir is as we expected, with good oil shows in the
mud logs and good indications from the full suite of logs obtained.
We expect this well to be online within the week and then we will
proceed with drilling the BN-95-3H development oil well."

Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by
the use of words such as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "plan",
"estimate", "potential", "will", "should", "continue", "may",

placed on the forward-looking statements because the Company can
give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since
