Grid Petroleum Corp. - Completes Negotiations for New Area of Interest.

DENVER, Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Grid Petroleum Corp. (OTCBB: GRPR) The Company is pleased to announce the finalization of negotiations for the acquisition of a private holding company, with oil and gas interests in a 5000-acre tract of land in central Texas.

The underlying oil and gas interests have been estimated to contain reserves of over 20,000,000 barrels of Oil and 15 Billion cubic feet of natural gas. Onsite oil production mitigates exploration risk and provides for in-field drilling opportunities from multiple pay zones.

Details of the final agreements will be made available subject to formal documentation and legal review.

The Company previously announced that its joint venture partner Solimar Energy Limited has engaged two geophysicists to initiate a geological study of the Kreyenhagen Trend lease acreage. The study is still in process and the results of the study are pending its completion, which is anticipated in late February.

Grid Petroleum and Solimar Energy Ltd have planned several stages, the first of which is the geological study, towards a comprehensive drill site selection process of the Kreyenhagen trend leases to determine potential drill sites. The development targets are significant oil shale formations identified as the Upper Temblor and the under explored Miocene Monterey

Grid Petroleum Corp is a development stage company focused on the acquisition and development of low cost high reward oil and gas prospects with infield drilling for proven potential reserves in the United States and Canada.
