Grid Petroleum Corp. Receives Texas Rail Road Commission Operator Permit

DENVER, Aug. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Grid Petroleum Corp. (OTCBB: GRPR): The Board of Directors are pleased to announce that Grid Petroleum has received Notification from The Texas Rail Road Commission that the company's wholly owned subsidiary, Grid Petroleum Production Inc, has been assigned operator number #333845.

This is the first of many steps the Company is taking to gain control of its investments in various Oil and Gas projects, both current and future.

The Company points to the continuous lack of accurate and current information being provided to the company by its Joint Venture Operator, Progas Services Inc and its president Dan Polk, as the reason for this initial and mandatory step in the progression of the company as an oil and gas producer.

The Company has engaged a land services company to negotiate and secure for development by Grid Petroleum Corporation, potential acreage in the Premont area of Mutual Interest previously identified by its geologists.

The Company, utilizing additional third party data and geological resources acquired, has identified several high value targeted tracts of land, which are currently under investigation for development by the Company as an Operator through Grid Petroleum Production Inc.

"This will allow the company to develop leasehold prospects within the Premont area of Interest without being subjected to un-necessary delays due to Operator incompetence," states Company President, Mr. James Powell. "Grid Petroleum has great expectations for the Premont Area of Texas and will continue to pursue its options to reach its goal of becoming a profitable Oil and Gas producer in this shallow sand formation area without the association of Progas Services Inc and Dan Polk and affiliates."

The Company has received its third notification from Progas Services Inc, the Joint Venture Operator, informing the Company that the Scorpion Number 1 drill rig will be moving onsite this coming week.

The Company has verified that Progas Services Inc has not met the Deposit and Payment provisions required by Scorpion Drilling to secure the drill rig for the Garcia # 3 as of the time of this press release.

Upon the deposit of the funds required to drill the Garcia #3 well, the drilling rig will move onto the drill site, subject to availability, to begin the drilling process.

The Company will monitor situation on a daily basis and report any progress in the situation as it develops.

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.
