VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 28, 2015 / Petrichor Energy Inc. (TSX-V: PTP / YQN.F) (“Petrichor” or the “Company”) announces completion of drilling and evaluation of the Hinson #2 well (the “Hinson Well”) to a total depth of 5,240 feet (1,597 metres) to test the Strawn Sands, Caddo Lime, Atoka Conglomerate, Marble Falls, Barnet Shale, and Ellenberger zones. Management is pleased with the preliminary results of the Hinson Well, which the operator successfully completed under budget and ahead of schedule. The Hinson Well and the BlakEnergy #1 Cobb well (refer to News Releases December 2 and 16, 2014) have been cased and are currently being scheduled for completion.

The Hinson Well is the second of three additional wells to be drilled on the Marble Falls Prospect (the “Prospect”), and is located in Young County, Texas (refer to the Company’s November 3, 2014 News Release).

Negotiations are ongoing to secure a larger long-term debt financing to assist with completion of these two wells, and to further drilling and development of the Prospect. Petrichor is optimistic that ongoing negotiations will result in a funding that will facilitate both the completion and future development of the Prospect.

The Company further announces that it has negotiated a debt settlement with certain arms’ length creditors for outstanding debts in the aggregate amount of Cdn$392,250.00 (the “Debt”), subject to acceptance by the TSX-V.
