"We are very pleased to see the substantial improvements in year-over-year
production rates from the ERDPSA and its impact on Bahar Energy's income for
2013. The income improvement is attributable to the higher revenues and savings
in operating and administrative expenses. The increases in production and
reductions in expenses are clearly the result of a focus on drilling and
workover activities in the Gum Deniz Oil and Bahar Gas fields and the
organization's efforts to improve its overall cost structure," stated A. Wayne
Curzadd, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Greenfields.


About Greenfields Petroleum Corporation

Greenfields is a junior oil and natural gas Company focused on the development
and production of proven oil and gas reserves principally in the Republic of
Azerbaijan. The Company plans to expand its oil and gas assets through further
farm-ins, and acquisitions of Production Sharing Agreements from foreign
governments containing previously discovered but under-developed international
oil and gas fields, also known as "greenfields". More information about the
Company may be obtained on the Greenfields website at
www.greenfields-petroleum.com.


Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements. More particularly, this
press release may include, but is not limited to, statements concerning:
increased average production, drilling and completion plans and the expected
timing thereof, securing the production and operating period of the Bahar
Contract and seismic acquisition. In addition, the use of any of the words
"initial, "scheduled", "can", "will", "prior to", "estimate", "anticipate",
"believe", "should", "forecast", "future", "continue", "may", "expect", and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements contained herein are based on certain key
expectations and assumptions made by the Company, including, but not limited to,
expectations and assumptions concerning the success of optimization and
efficiency improvement projects, the availability of capital, current
legislation, receipt of required regulatory approval, the success of future
drilling and development activities, the performance of existing wells, the
performance of new wells, general economic conditions, availability of required
equipment and services, weather conditions and prevailing commodity prices.
Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the
forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not
be placed on the forward-looking statements because the Company can give no
assurance that they will prove to be correct. 


Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their
very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties most of which are
beyond the control of Greenfields. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking
information prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements could
vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking
information. These risks include, but are not limited to, risks associated with
the oil and gas industry in general (e.g., operational risks in development,
exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to
exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of
reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to
production, costs and expenses, and health, safety, political and environmental
risks), commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations, changes in legislation
affecting the oil and gas industry and uncertainties resulting from potential
delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects
or capital expenditures. Additional risk factors can be found under the heading
"Risk Factors" in Greenfields' Annual Information Form and similar headings in
Greenfields' Management's Discussion & Analysis which may be viewed on
www.sedar.com.


The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of
the date hereof and Greenfields undertakes no obligation to update publicly or
revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable
securities laws. The Company's forward-looking information is expressly
qualified in its entirety by this cautionary statement.


Notes to Oil and Gas Disclosures

Barrels Oil Equivalent or "boe" may be misleading, particularly if used in
isolation. The volumes disclosed in this press release under the headings "Third
Quarter and Year-to-Date 2013 Financial Results and Operating Highlights" and
"Operating Highlights and Plans" uses a 5.559 mcf: 1boe conversion ratio as the
Bahar Contract (ERDPSA) uses a 5.559 mcf: 1boe conversion ratio to measure total
field production in calculating the 6,944 boe production threshold to earn the
full 25 year initial term of the Bahar Contract.


The volumes disclosed in this press release under the heading "Selected
Information" uses a 6mcf: 1boe, as such is typically used in oil and gas
reporting and is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily
applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the
wellhead. The Company uses a 6mcf: 1boe ratio to calculate its share of
entitlement sales from the Bahar Project for its financial reporting and
reserves disclosure, but, for greater clarity, not for the purposes of the
information under the headings "Select Financial and Operating Information for
the year ended December 31, 2013" in this press release.


Neither the 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.
