HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwire - Nov. 29, 2012) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS

Greenfields Petroleum Corporation (the "Corporation" or "Greenfields") (TSX VENTURE:GNF) (TSX VENTURE:GNF.DB), an independent exploration and production company with producing assets in Azerbaijan, announces its financial results for the third quarter of 2012.

• The Corporation's entitlement sales volumes from production for its net interest in the Bahar ERDPSA averaged 456 bbl/d and 4,215 mcf/d or 1,159 boe/d in the quarter and 411 bbl/d and 3,998 mcf/d or 1,077 boe/d year-to-date.
• Through its interest in Bahar Energy, the Corporation realized average oil prices of $103.51 per barrel for the quarter and $104.08 per barrel year-to-date. Realized gas prices have remained constant during 2012 at the contract price of $3.96 per thousand cubic feet.

• During the third quarter, ongoing operations focused on production optimization and preparation for drilling and workover activity.
• Well maintenance and recompletion activities continued during the quarter using the Soviet-era rigs contracted from SOCAR. Eight wells were recompleted into new zones providing an estimated 200 bopd gross (approximately 67 bopd net) increase in production.
• To accommodate rig operations on existing platforms, significant modifications were made to Gum Deniz Platform 2 and Bahar Platform 196. Similar work is currently underway to prepare Gum Deniz Platform 208 for drilling expected to commence in the first quarter 2013. Rehabilitation work on Bahar Platform 168 will commence in late fourth quarter 2012 in preparation for workovers planned in 2013.
• The PSG-1 rig, initially contracted as a workover rig, is now undergoing the final modifications necessary to convert it for drilling. Based on latest inspection by ModuSpec, the rig should be ready to spud the first well on Gum Deniz Platform 2 by the end of December. The well, the GD-715, will target multiple stacked pays in an under-developed area near the heart of the field. The Operator, BEOC, is presently tendering for an additional rig for drilling from Gum Deniz Platform 208 during 2013.
• The PSG-2 rig began recompletion work November 25, 2012 on the B-196 well on Platform 196 in the Bahar field. Recompletion work will continue in the Bahar gas field with workovers planned on Platforms 196 and 168 throughout 2013.
• The Gum Deniz 601 well was spudded on August 20, 2012 from a Gum Island location to test for oil in a northern extension of the Gum Deniz field. The test of the lower KaS reservoir revealed it to be tight. The PK reservoir was then perforated and found to be wet. Further evaluation will follow once the rig has been moved. Other locations that can be reached from the Island are being reviewed.
• The Bahar-2 3D program commenced in June 2011, with 87% of the survey acquired by the end of the third quarter 2012. The survey is expected to be completed before year end, after which processing and interpretation will follow. If the interpretation confirms an attractive exploration prospect in the Bahar-2 exploration area, Bahar Energy will develop an appropriate drilling strategy to evaluate the prospect.
