Marketwired Canada


Esrey Energy Ltd. ("Esrey" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EEL) is pleased to
announce that its subsidiaries, Telemu No. 18 Limited ("Telemu"), LNG Energy
(PNG) Limited and LNG Energy No. 2 Limited, have entered into an amendment to
their farm-in agreement (the "Farm-in Agreement") with wholly owned subsidiaries
of Heritage Oil Plc ("Heritage") in Papua New Guinea. In exchange for extension
of the deadline to spud the first exploration well from October 1, 2014, to
December 31, 2015, the Farm-in Agreement has been amended to provide that:




--  The Company will receive a further cash payment of US$2,500,000 within
    14 days; 
--  Heritage will now carry Telemu for 30% of the cost of a second
    exploration well (in which Telemu holds a 20% participating interest) in
    the event that a second well is drilled; and 
--  Heritage will fund 100% of any joint operating costs incurred after the
    fulfillment of its obligations under the Farm-in Agreement in respect of
    the first exploration well until the earlier of the spud of the second
    exploration well or the 180thday following the date of testing and
    suspension or abandonment of the first exploration well.



"This modification provides Esrey with additional cash and funding coverage with
which to meet future obligations and will provide Heritage with some operational
flexibility and potential cost savings to efficiently carry out the required
earn-in work program. Heritage has completed acquisition of approximately 230 km
of 2D seismic across the licenses and we look forward to continuing our
partnership with Heritage through the forthcoming drilling to be undertaken on
the PPL 319 license," commented David Nelson, President & CEO of Esrey.
