Grid Petroleum Corp.: GRPR Reports Garcia #3 Well Completion Progresses.

DENVER, Oct. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Grid Petroleum Corp. (OTCBB: GRPR): The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Grid Petroleum has received a preliminary report of the initial flow testing of the Barnsdall Formation.

Initial natural gas production rates from the lower and upper lobes of the Bardo zone is estimated at approximately 1 million cubic feet per day.  The zone could be produced at approximately 500,000 cubic feet per day with an estimated fall off to 250,000 cubic feet per day with the natural decline rate over time.

From Progas Services Inc, the Joint Venture Operator for the Northwest Premont Area of Interest.

"Garcia 3 – Last evening the tubing was swabbed down to 1100 feet and shut in for the night.  The fluid level was to surface when the rig starting swabbing this morning.  Swabbing operations started producing "live oil" with natural gas coming into the well bore along and some formation water. This provides an indication the formation has virgin pressure in the well.  This morning the oil cut has increased to estimated 12% oil in each barrel of fluid brought to surface.  Each additional swab run is producing more natural gas and more "live oil". Entry rate has increased from approximately 1 barrel per hour to 3.5 barrels of fluid per hour with steadily increasing oil percentage. The Garcia #3 is turning around at this time producing good oil and natural gas with each swab run.

Current production of 3.5 barrels per hour equals 84 barrels a day.  12% is 10 barrels of oil per day and increasing," States Dan Polk of Progas Services Inc.

"Live Oil" - Oil containing dissolved gas in solution that may be released from solution at surface conditions. Live oil must be handled and pumped under closely controlled conditions to avoid the risk of explosion or fire, creating a slower than expected completion period for the Garcia #3 well.

The Company expects that flow results will be finalized in the near future. The swabbing process is near completion and the Company is awaiting confirmation of final formation flow numbers from the Joint Venture Operator, Progas Services Inc.

The completion process can take several weeks before reliable production numbers can be disseminated.

The company will provide progress updates as they become available regarding the Garcia #3 and other anticipated drilling activity in the near future.

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.
