Greenfields Petroleum Corporation ("Greenfields" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:GNF)(TSX VENTURE:GNF.DB), an independent exploration and production
company with assets in Azerbaijan, is pleased to announce that the operating
company of the Bahar project, Bahar Energy Operating Company ("BEOC" or
"Operator"), continues work in its redevelopment of the Gum Deniz and Bahar
fields in the Bahar ERDPSA, Azerbaijan.


Gross field production increased again in February as a result of continuing
drilling and workover operations in the two fields. As of March 9th, production
has increased to approximately 38.1 mmcf/d and 1,935 bbl/d or 8,798 boe/d after
reaching the key TPR1 90 day average production milestone of 6,944 boe/d in
January of this year. Achieving the TPR1 milestone has secured the production
and operating period of the ERDPSA for the full twenty five (25) year initial
term of the contract.


Over the past nine months, eight recompletions have been performed in the Bahar
gas field which have increased production more than threefold from 11 mmcf/d to
more than 38 mmcf/d, and more than 200 bbl/d of condensate. During March the
Shirvan crane barge has become available to the Operator for the installation of
deck panels and other materials on the Bahar PF-196 and PF-46 platforms. Once
installed, this equipment and material will allow three additional workovers to
proceed in the coming weeks. More than 50 additional recompletions are planned
in the Bahar gas field over the next three years.


Development drilling continues in the Gum Deniz field. Drilling on the GD-774
well commenced on December 11, 2013 and reached total depth of 2,566 meters
(2,484 meters TVD) on January 16, 2014. The well was logged and cased. Log
analysis and subsequent production indicated partially depleted reservoirs. The
well is now being completed in Horizon VIII.


Workovers and recompletions continue to effectively add production in both Bahar
and Gum Deniz fields. Bahar well B-238 was recompleted in the "I" series sands
and produced at an initial rate of 9 mmcf/d and continues to produce at rates in
excess of 6 mmcf/d. Gum Deniz well GD-478 was worked over with new perforations
in the "IX" series sands and produced at an initial rate of 390 bbl/d,
stabilizing at approximately 120 bbl/d. The GD-456 well was treated with
sulfanol and hot oil and is now producing at a rate of 460 bbl/d, with a 38%
watercut. Additionally, the Operator is in the process of installing a Rosscor
3-Phase pump which is expected to lower the back pressure on the well and
increase the production rate above 500 bbl/d.


The 3-D seismic survey continued during the quarter. Acquisition continues to be
hampered by high winds. As of the end of the month, approximately 4% of the 200
square kilometer survey has been acquired. The rate of acquisition is expected
to improve once the winter weather passes.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements. More particularly, this
press release may include, but is not limited to, statements concerning:
increased average production, drilling and completion plans and the expected
timing thereof, securing the production and operating period of the Bahar
Contract and seismic acquisition. In addition, the use of any of the words
"initial, "scheduled", "can", "will", "prior to", "estimate", "anticipate",
"believe", "should", "forecast", "future", "continue", "may", "expect", and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements contained herein are based on certain key
expectations and assumptions made by the Company, including, but not limited to,
expectations and assumptions concerning the success of optimization and
efficiency improvement projects, the availability of capital, current
legislation, receipt of required regulatory approval, the success of future
drilling and development activities, the performance of existing wells, the
performance of new wells, general economic conditions, availability of required
equipment and services, weather conditions and prevailing commodity prices.
Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the
forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not
be placed on the forward-looking statements because the Company can give no
assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements
address future events and conditions, by their very nature, they involve
inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from
those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include,
but are not limited to, risks associated with the oil and gas industry in
general (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and production;
delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects
or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty
of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses; and
health, safety and environmental risks), commodity price and exchange rate
fluctuations, changes in legislation affecting the oil and gas industry and
uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in plans with respect
to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures. Additional
information on these and other factors that could affect the Company's
operations and financial results are included under the headings "Risk Factors"
in Greenfield's Annual Information Form, its Management Information Circular and
similar headings in the Company's Management's Discussion & Analysis which may
be viewed on www.sedar.com.


The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of
the date hereof and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or
revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable
securities laws.


The Company cautions that the test results described in the press release are
not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or ultimate recovery.
Additionally, as well test interpretations have not been completed on the wells
described in this press release, the results and data described in this press
release should be considered preliminary until such interpretations have been
completed.


Notes to Oil and Gas Disclosures

Barrels Oil Equivalent or "boe" may be misleading, particularly if used in
isolation. The volumes disclosed in this press release use a 5.559 mcf: 1bbl
conversion ratio as the Bahar Contract (ERDPSA) uses a 5.559 mcf: 1bbl
conversion ratio to measure total field production in calculating the 6,944 boe
production threshold to earn the full 25 year initial term of the Bahar
Contract. A boe conversion ratio of 6mcf: 1bbl is typically used in oil and gas
reporting and is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily
applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the
wellhead. The Company uses a 6mcf: 1bbl ratio to calculate its share of
entitlement sales from the Bahar Project for its financial reporting and
reserves disclosure, but, for greater clarity, not for the purposes of this
press release.


Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that
term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts
responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
