Mart Resources, Inc.: Operations and Production Update

13/02/2014 1:00pm

Marketwired Canada


Mart Resources, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MMT) ("Mart" or the "Company") and its
co-venturers, Midwestern Oil and Gas Company Plc. (Operator of the Umusadege
field) and SunTrust Oil Company Limited are providing the following updates on
Umusadege field production for January 2014 and other operations.


January 2014 Production Update

Umusadege field production during January 2014 averaged 11,563 bopd. Umusadege
field downtime during January 2014 was approximately four days due to minor
operational interruptions, with no full down days during the month. The average
field production based on producing days was 13,151 bopd in January 2014.


Total net crude oil deliveries into the export pipeline from the Umusadege field
for January 2014 were approximately 343,800 bbls before pipeline losses.
Pipeline and export facility losses reported by Nigerian Agip Oil Company
Limited ("NAOC") and allocated to Mart and its co-venturers for December 2013
were 38,887 bbls, or 26.7% of total crude oil deliveries into the export
pipeline for that month. January 2014 pipeline and export facility losses have
not yet been reported by NAOC. Pipeline and export facility losses averaged
25.6% in 2013.


As previously announced, NAOC has been unable or unwilling to provide the
marginal field companies that produce through the Umusadege export facility
("Cluster Group") with an explanation for the basis for the pipeline and export
facility losses or for the reasons for the fluctuations in allocated pipeline
losses. The Cluster Group disputed the allocation of the losses and requested
the formal involvement of the Department of Petroleum Resources ("DPR"). A
committee including representatives of the DPR, NAOC and the Cluster Group has
been established to provide recommendations within four months in respect of the
pipeline and export facilities losses. The DPR previously imposed a suspension
of the allocation of pipeline and export facility losses to the Cluster Group
until the pipeline loss allocation issues are resolved, and the enforcement of
the suspension of allocation of losses in reports provided by NAOC is a matter
to be addressed by the DPR. NAOC allocated losses for December deliveries
despite the suspension and Mart is unsure as to whether NOAC will suspend loss
allocations in subsequent months.


Umugini Pipeline Update

Clearing of the right of way for the last five kilometres of the first section
of the Umugini pipeline has been completed and pipeline construction is ongoing.
Clearing of the right of way for the second section of the Umugini pipeline has
commenced, with approximately 2.5 kilometers completed. Pipe is being loaded and
transported to the second section location in preparation for the start of
construction. Negotiations with local communities and the Nigerian Petroleum
Development Company along the second section of the Umugini pipeline are
progressing and ongoing. Other equipment and materials needed to complete
construction of the pipeline have arrived in Nigeria or are currently being
shipped, and the group managing construction of the Umugini pipeline continue to
estimate that pipeline construction will be completed in the first half of 2014.
Pipeline commissioning will occur following completion of pipeline construction.


Additional information regarding Mart is available on the Company's website at
www.martresources.com and under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.


Except where expressly stated otherwise, all production figures set out in this
press release, including bopd, reflect gross Umusadege field production rather
than production attributable to Mart. Mart's share of total gross production
before taxes and royalties from the Umusadege field fluctuates between 82.5%
(before capital cost recovery) and 50% (after capital cost recovery).
