PEA Pieridae Energy Limited

Petrolia (TSX VENTURE:PEA) is pleased to announce the adoption of the Regulation
respecting water withdrawals and water protection (RRWWWP) by the Ministere du
Developpement durable, de l'Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements
climatiques (MDDELCC). 


This regulation stipulates that the minimum distance between a drilling site and
a groundwater well must be 500 meters. The location of the Haldimand 4 well
complies with the safe distances set out in this regulation. Petrolia reiterates
that this is a conventional well without hydraulic fracking. 


Adoption of this regulation invalidates the municipal regulation adopted by the
City of Gaspe and meets a joint request by the City and Petrolia. The RRWWWP and
the hydrogeological study by the Institut national de la recherche scientifique
- Centre Eau Terre Environnement (INRS-ETE) released in May should answer the
questions raised by the region. Work will be carried out in compliance with the
highest safety and environmental standards, with respect for the community.
Before work resumes, within the next three months, activities will be planned to
ensure the public is well informed. 


Mr. Alexandre Gagnon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Petrolia, stated
that "Petrolia is pleased to note that the Government is following its Action
Plan on hydrocarbons announced last May. This plan outlines the steps that will
allow the Province of Quebec and the industry to move towards production of
hydrocarbons."
