Rockdale Resources Acquires Interest in the Historical Slick Unit Dutcher Sands (SUDS) Oil Field, Creek County, Oklahoma

HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 09/29/15 -- Rockdale Resources Corporation (OTC PINK: BBLS) ("Rockdale" or "Company") is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of 10% Working Interest ("WI") in the 2,600 acre Slick Unit Dutcher Sands oil field ("SUDS"), located in Creek County, Oklahoma, from SUDS Properties, LLC ("SPL"), a subsidiary of Houston-based Jovian Resources, LLC ("Jovian").

With this acquisition, Rockdale increases its total 1P reserves by approx. 150,000 Bbls while establishing Rockdale as an operator in Oklahoma. Management believes that by establishing an operational base in Oklahoma, the Company will greatly increase its ability to expand throughout the Southwestern United States. Located between Tulsa and Oklahoma City in a prolific oil-producing region, the SUDS oilfield will increase the Company's holdings significantly. Rockdale will now have an ownership interest in 116 wells and 3,260 acres of leased land.

In addition, Mr. Zel C. Khan, founder of Jovian Petroleum Corporation, will be the President and Chief Executive Officer of Rockdale and has been nominated to the Board of Directors and will be subject to shareholder approval.

"I am excited to migrate our experienced operational team into the Rockdale family," said Mr. Khan. "With a strong operational base, the Company can move forward with confidence and seek out opportunities provided by the current marketplace."

With over 20 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, Mr. Khan has successfully operated oil fields in California, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, both onshore and offshore the Gulf of Mexico. He has an established history of reducing operational costs on various projects including a former ConocoPhillips deep water Gulf of Mexico facility. Mr. Khan holds an MBA from Chapman University, California.
