Oil Optimization Updates on its Exploration Programs in Thailand

Oil Optimization Inc. (TSX VENTURE:OOI) ("OOI" or the "Company") wishes to
update its shareholders on the Company's operations onshore Thailand, in light
of recent flooding in some parts of the country.


The Company's L14-50 project in the north Phetchabun basin has not experienced
any flooding to date, although the rains can be heavy and unpredictable. As a
result, the Company has modified its proposed work program to focus on three
primary leads, starting with a 50-line kilometer 2D seismic survey. The
objective of the revised program is to mature one or more of the three leads
into drillable prospects, while minimizing technical and financial risk. The
seismic program will commence in Q1-2012 and will be followed by a drilling
program shortly thereafter. Funding for the Company's work program on L14/50 is
secured by irrevocable bank guarantees now held by the Thai Ministry of Energy.


The Company's two other onshore concessions, Blocks L9/48 and L3/50, have not
been impacted by the rains and work is proceeding as planned and on schedule.
