million ($87.00/bbl) for the same period in 2014.

* Bankers recognized realized gains of $10 million ($5.52/bbl) and $24
million ($6.64/bbl) on financial commodity contracts during the three and
six months periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The financial
commodity contracts represent 6,000 bopd at a floor price of $80/bbl of
Dated Brent for 2015. At June 30, 2015, the fair value of these contracts
was $21 million.
OUTLOOK
The Company continues to carry out its 2015 capital program as planned based on
an annual average oil price of $50/bbl of Dated Brent by managing spending to
cash flow. Bankers' activities in the third quarter focus on its three part
strategy to deliver reliable and repeatable low cost horizontal wells through
the primary drilling program, to expand its product margin through
surface-level improvements and to accelerate the enhanced oil recovery program.
The 2015 third quarter-to-date average production is 19,500 bopd from the
Patos-Marinza and Kuçova oilfields in Albania, slightly lower than the second
quarter average of 20,050 bopd. Twelve (12) horizontal production wells are
scheduled for drilling in the third quarter in the main area of the
Patos-Marinza oilfield.
Infrastructure and facilities projects in the third quarter include the final
stages of construction of the northern emulsion gathering flow line system, and
the inlet vessels at Satellite 3. When commissioned later in the third quarter,
this will complete the main facilities for the northern area of the oilfield.
The Company's second commercial polymer skid is expected to be commissioned
within the quarter, supporting the southernmost patterns of the secondary
recovery program. The vapor recovery units at Pad H and Pad D are planned to be
completed by the end of the quarter with commissioning in the fourth quarter.
These two projects will capture additional gas to be used to offset diesel,
propane and electricity costs. In addition, the Company expects to begin
construction of the high-voltage power line for the water disposal system which
will increase power reliability and support future expansion of the water
disposal system.
The Company will continue to expand on the polymer and water flood program with
one (1) water and five (5) polymer conversions in the third quarter.
The Company intends to issue the third quarter 2015 operational update and host
a conference call on Wednesday, October 7, 2015.

Caution Regarding Forward-looking Information
Information in this news release respecting matters such as the expected future
production levels from wells, future prices and netback, work plans,
anticipated total oil recovery of the Patos-Marinza and Kuçova oilfields
constitute forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking
information express, as at the date of this news release, the Company's plans,
estimates, forecasts, projections, expectations, or beliefs as to future events
or results and are believed to be reasonable based on information currently
available to the Company.
Exploration for oil is a speculative business that involves a high degree of
risk. The Company's expectations for its Albanian operations and plans are
subject to a number of risks in addition to those inherent in oil production
operations, including: that Brent oil prices could fall resulting in reduced
returns and a change in the economics of the project; availability of
financing; delays associated with equipment procurement, equipment failure and
the lack of suitably qualified personnel; the inherent uncertainty in the
estimation of reserves; exports from Albania being disrupted due to unplanned
disruptions; and changes in the political or economic environment.
Production and netback forecasts are based on a number of assumptions including
that the rate and cost of well takeovers, well reactivations and well
recompletions of the past will continue and success rates will be similar to
those rates experienced for previous well recompletions/reactivations/
development; that further wells taken over and recompleted will produce at
rates similar to the average rate of production achieved from wells
recompletions/reactivations/development in the past; continued availability of
the necessary equipment, personnel and financial resources to sustain the
Company's planned work program; continued political and economic stability in
Albania; the existence of reserves as expected; the continued release by
Albpetrol of areas and wells pursuant to the Plan of Development and Addendum;
the absence of unplanned disruptions; the ability of the Company to
successfully drill new wells and bring production to market; and general risks
inherent in oil and gas operations.
Forward-looking statements and information are based on assumptions that
financing, equipment and personnel will be available when required and on
reasonable terms, none of which are assured and are subject to a number of
other risks and uncertainties described under "Risk Factors" in the Company's
Annual Information Form and Management's Discussion and Analysis, which are
available on SEDAR under the Company's profile at http://www.sedar.com/.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be
accurate. Actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking information and forward looking statements.
