SUROCO ENERGY INC. PROVIDES UPDATE ON CANELO SUR-2 WELL

Suroco Energy Inc. (TSX Venture Exchange: SRN) ("Suroco" or the "Corporation") announces that it has temporarily suspended operations at the Canelo Sur-2 exploratory well (the "Well") pending resolution of a community-related dispute in the region.

The Well has reached the programmed total depth of 9,970 feet, however a community-related disagreement has arisen that is preventing personnel and supplies from reaching the drilling site. The Corporation, along with the Operator PetroNova Inc. and the drilling contractor are utilizing all available resources to maintain personnel safety and well security while working with community representatives and local authorities to identify and resolve the underlying motivation of the unrest, in order to be able to resume normal activities. Once operations recommence, a liner will be run in the Well which will facilitate the ability to acquire cased-hole logs such that a decision can be made regarding future testing operations. Pending further wireline log information, testing is initially planned for the Lower 'U' Sand of the Villeta Formation.

The Well was drilled to evaluate multiple reservoir targets in the Villeta Formation. The principal targets being the Lower 'U' and the 'T' Sands. Well log data and mud-gas log data acquired indicate a gross reservoir thickness of approximately 45 feet with fair quality oil shows and natural fluorescence over the Lower "U" Sand and a gross reservoir thickness of approximately 69 feet with poor oil shows over the "T" Sand. Due to adverse hole conditions, a porosity log was not acquired over both of the Lower 'U' and 'T' Sands, which has hampered the interpretation. The Villeta Upper 'U' Sand, over which a full suite of well logs was acquired, indicate the zone to be wet.

The Well is located in the PUT-2 Block (the "Block") located in Colombia's Putumayo Basin, a Block in which Suroco holds a 25% economic interest. Application has been made to the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos of Colombia for its approval of the conversion of Suroco's 25% economic interest to a full

25% undivided working interest in the Block.

The Corporation is a Calgary-based junior oil and gas company, which explores for, develops, produces and sells crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas in Colombia. The Corporation's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol SRN.
