Shona Energy Company, Inc. Announces Successful Confirmation Well

Shona Energy Company, Inc. ("Shona") (TSX VENTURE:SHO) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Geoproduction Oil & Gas Company ("Geoproduction") of Colombia, is pleased to announce the successful completion and testing of Nelson-3, a confirmation well to its discovery well, Nelson-2, located within the Esperanza concession in the Lower Magdalena Basin of Colombia. This concession is retained and operated 100% by Geoproduction.

Nelson-3 has an estimated 120 feet of net pay in the main Cienaga de Oro formation and 21 feet of net pay in a deeper Cienaga de Oro sand. A total of 94 net feet in the main Cienaga de Oro formation was perforated and tested at a rate of 11,600 MCFPD with 2573 psi flowing tubing pressure on a 28/64" choke. The Nelson-3 is a southwest offset to the Nelson-2 discovery well, and its results confirm Shona's geological interpretation of the sizeable Nelson natural gas discovery. The drilling rig is being moved to Nelson-4, which is a northeast offset to the Nelson-2, and would be the third producing well in the Nelson field upon its completion.

Additional testing of Nelson-2, which was completed in the upper 48 feet of the main Cienaga de Oro, was recently conducted and produced at a rate of 8,500 MCFPD with a flowing tubing pressure of 2520 psi on a 36/64" choke. Total net pay in Nelson-2 is 130 feet.

A 10 kilometer 6 inch pipeline has been installed from the Nelson field to Geoproduction's 100% owned and operated Jobo Station, where gas is processed for sales. Upon completion of the current construction works total processing capacity of Jobo Station is expected to be 65 MMCFPD. Gas is currently sold into the national gas transportation system. Additional gas sales from the Nelson field are expected to commence on January 1, 2012 at rates up to 19 MMCFPD.
