Petrolia Energy Announces Intent to Acquire Bow Energy

HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 10/26/17 --

Petrolia Energy Corporation (OTCQB: BBLS) ("Petrolia" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the signing of a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire 100% of Bow Energy Ltd. ("Bow") (TSX VENTURE: ONG). This LOI is non-binding and subject to various conditions, of which both parties have completed their accounting, technical, and legal due diligence, amongst others and have the approval of their respective Board of Directors. The parties have now moved on to drafting a formal binding agreement subject to customary shareholder and stock exchange approvals as may be required.

"This is a key acquisition for Petrolia as we look to expand our reach into other prolific oil and gas regions," said James E. Burns, President of Petrolia. "The acquisition of Bow provides us with a significant increase in net proven acreage, reserves, and cashflow, all of which facilitate our ability to further develop our assets, including our Permian Basin Twin Lakes field. The sum result of this proposed transaction will provide us with a clear path towards up listing our shares to an internationally recognized stock exchange."

Additionally, the Company has filed a definitive information statement, dated October 6, 2017, in anticipation of the proposed acquisition. Petrolia's Board of Directors will seek shareholder approval in the coming weeks. For further information, visit the Investor Relations section on our website.
