LONDON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Gold Oil Plc:

Operational Update: Colombia

Gold Oil plc
Operational Update: Colombia
Gold Oil plc ('Gold' or 'the Company') is pleased to announce the

following operational updates for its Azar, Nancy Burdine Maxine and Rosa Blanca Blocks in Colombia.

Gold is pleased to announce that at the most recent Azar operating committee meeting (OCM) on 28 October, the Operator, Gran Tierra Energy Company (GTEC), announced the preliminary results of the 50km2 3D survey acquired on the southern part of the block on which the La Vega South & East prospects will be drilled Q2/Q3 2010 as soon as the relevant environment impact assessment permits are granted. La Vega East has resources estimated by GTEC of 3.25MMbbl in the T and U sands (Gold's share 0.6MMbbl). The similar La Vega South prospect is estimated to have resources of 3.24MMbbl in both sands (Gold's share 0.6MMbbl). Both structures are very close together and are planned to be drilled 'back to back' in 2010. GTEC has considerable experience in the Putumayo Basin, of which these prospects are very typical, operating several blocks.

During the same OCM the partners decided to acquire an additional 75km2 of 3D seismic over the La Florida structure, which is in the northern part of the block and has had 51km of 2D seismic recently acquired on it. The La Florida prospect has the potential, estimated by GTEC, for 15-25 MMbbl of oil initially in place (STOIIP). A better estimate will be made after the new 3D seismic survey, which will be acquired in March/April 2010.

As announced in the Company's Operational Update announced on 24 September, the acquisition of a 60 km 2D seismic survey in the southern portion of the Rosa Blanca Block, located in the prolific
Middle Magdalena Basin, started three weeks ago after the
environmental permit was granted. Local consultation, detailed

topography mapping and drilling of the shot-holes for the dynamite charges are well advanced. The first seismic line has been shot and according to the schedule the seismic acquisition will be finished by mid November and processing and preliminary interpretation in the first week of December.

Testing of the Burdine wells continues and B-1 has been in production
on a long term production test since October. B-1 is producing an

average of 230 bopd of light crude with 320 bpd of water. The objective of the long term test is to get more information on the well to optimize the work-over programme for B-1 and B-5. The
work-over of B-4 needs the approval of the Company's partners. B-5

has produced 60 bopd on a short term test and a work-over to chemically remove probable formation damage and increase production is being planned. Petrophysical analysis of B-4 shows unperforated oil reservoirs that will be perforated during the work-over and brought on stream.

The Company expects that the work-over programme for the Burdine Field should increase production of the field to 1.500 bopd. (Net to Gold 410 bopd)

Mark Pritchard, Chairman of Gold Oil said: "I am pleased with the excellent news on the Azar Block and happy to have reached consensus with our partners to develop the Block as quickly as possible, bearing in mind that the environmental permitting for the two projected wells is likely to take at least 6 month for approval, once presented to the Ministry. It would be of interest to all partners to be able to drill these two wells immediately after prospect mapping has identified drilling locations but unfortunately EIA permitting will not allow this."

The technical information contained in this announcement has been reviewed and approved by Mike Burchell, B.Sc., 69, member of the SPE and with over 47 years experience in the oil and gas business.

Notes for Editors

Gold Oil is an AIM-listed oil and gas exploration and production company primarily focused on opportunities in Latin America. It has oil production in Colombia and significant exploration acreage and licences both onshore and offshore in Peru and onshore Colombia.

The Azar Block, which is located to the northeast of the Company's existing Nancy, Burdine and Maxine oil fields and immediately to the east of the Guayoyaco Block in which the Juanambu discovery well was drilled in November 2007 with a flow rate of 1,410 bopd. The Guayoyaco Block is operated by Gran Tierra Energy (TSX: GTE), who is also the operator and 40% interest holder in the Azar Block.

The Licence for the Azar Block was granted by Colombia's hydrocarbons agency (ANH) in October 2006 for an area of 51,630 Ha (or 516.3km2). The term of the Licence is for a period of 24 years and includes a royalty payable to the ANH of between 8% and 25% depending upon the level of production. The oil and gas terms in Colombia are currently some of the most favourable in Latin America.

The Rosa Blanca Block covers an area of approximately 45,000 hectares and is surrounded by the nearby oil producing fields of Cristalina, Santa Lucia, Tisquirania, Totumal, Baturama and the South Bolivar Block.

The petroleum system within the Rosa Blanca Block has been proven in
nearby oil wells and fields which reduces the geological risk

significantly. Gold believes that the presence of fractured reservoir zones within the reservoir rock is the main geological risk. Gold's clear objective is to find another Buturama style oil field which,
by analogy, could give reserves of up to 30 MM STB and initial

production rates of 1,200 BOPD of 35o API gravity oil per well.

The Nancy, Burdine and Maxine fields were discovered by Texaco and put on stream in 1976. The Nancy-1 well produced initially 1,400 bopd, the well production then declined to approximately 200 bopd by 1995 when the well was abandoned. The fields were returned to Ecopetrol who licensed them to a group of local oil and services companies ('the Union Temporal') in 2003. On March 2006, the Company farmed into the Licence through Union Temporal. Since then the Company has bought out one of the partners, Invepetrol. The partners in this block are Ecopetrol (41%) and Union Temporal (59%). Union Temporal is formed by 5 companies: Gold Oil (58.05%), Termotécnica (18.05%), Ingeniería y Servicios Petroleros Ltda. (18.05%), Bioss
(2.84%) and one individual with (3%). The Company's net working

interest is 27.4%.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Introduction

The year under review has been one of challenge for Gold Oil and  its
shareholders. Following the resignation of Gary Moore and Pat  Mahony
I was  appointed  executive chairman  in  March this  year  and  Mike
Burchell became  a non  executive director.  In April,  Thomas  Tidow
joined the board with responsibility for operations.

Review of Operations

The year has seen considerable activity for the Group in its two main
geographic locations, Peru and Colombia.

In July 2008 the  Group drilled a second  exploration well, SA2X,  on
the onshore Block XXI, a kilometre  north of SA1X to test the  Verdun
and Palaeozoic sands. The well was located on the basis of a detailed
gravimetric survey  and  a  DNME  (differentially  nomalised  method)
survey. The latter is a system of mapping the subsurface  resistivity
which, when interpreted, can  indicate the presence of  hydrocarbons.
It is the first application of  this process outside of Russia  where
it has been extensively tested, but  the results on Block XXI  showed
major problems with the interpretation by the Russian contractor. The
well was plugged and abandoned in late September 2008.

We are now planning to acquire more detailed information on the block
in order to generate a new drilling prospect and are scheduling a  2D
seismic survey in the first quarter of 2010, close to the SA1X  site.
The main object is to try and identify the extent of a trap updip  of
the oil and gas logged in the Palaeozoic and Verdun in SA1X.  Testing
of the Palaeozoic and  Verdun in SA1X was  impossible because of  the
mechanical condition  of the  well and  the influx  of highly  saline
water which we believe came from a zone at the base of the Palaeozoic
which exhibited good reservoir properties and trapping conditions  in
the Palaeozoic.

We  have  recently  presented   an  application  for  the   necessary
environmental permits to allow us to conduct the survey and we expect
to receive the required consents  shortly. It is encouraging to  note
that there is considerable activity on the neighbouring block  (Block
XIII) where reported  production from  recent wells  is around  3,000
bopd.
The Z34  block is  immediately to  the west  of four  of the  largest
developed oil fields in Northern Peru that have produced 1.6  billion
barrels and, in 2006, the Group farmed out half its interest in Block
Z34 to Plectrum Petroleum plc ("Plectrum"). Following the acquisition
of Plectrum  by Cairn  Energy  Plc ("Cairn")  in September  2007  the
Company had been in  negotiation with Cairn about  the future of  the
block. As Cairn had no strategic focus in the region, in October 2008
the Company reacquired the 50% of the block from Plectrum giving it a
100% interest. As well as returning its interest, Plectrum also  made
a payment to the Group of US$1.5 million. With the Group holding 100%
of the Block the US$1.5 million was deposited in an escrow account in
Lima as a  guarantee against  the seismic work  programme. The  Group
finally  received  its  environmental  permit  from  the  Environment
Ministry in August 2008. In April 2009 SCAN Geophysical, a  Norwegian
company specialising  in  the  acquisition  of  marine  seismic,  was
contracted to acquire 2,013 kms of  2D seismic on Block Z34 in  water
depths of 200m  to 3,000m.  This was successfully  completed in  June
2009. Initial  processing  indicated  a variety  of  leads,  some  in
200300m of water.  It is very  encouraging to note  that the  seismic
survey has confirmed the initial  geological model with a  definitive
presence of turbidite  style structures trapped  in 'geological  mega
structural features' similar to  the neighbouring Z2B oilfields,  and
their extension into Z34. The Z2B oilfields which are located to  the
east in shallower water have produced over 300 MMbbl of light oil and
still have large  proven reserves. Some  reprocessing of the  onboard
processed data and improvement  of the acquired  seismic lines is  in
process and will help  to improve the  interpretation and refine  the
mapping of the initial leads. The  data collected from the survey  is
considerable and needs to be analysed thoroughly. However, we believe
that even at  this initial  stage the  five leads  identified so  far
could have substantially more reserves then those of the neighbouring
block Z2B.

During  the  year  under  review  the  Group  agreed  to  acquire  an
additional 18.05% working interest in the prolific NancyBurdineMaxine
fields through the acquisition of a 100% shareholding in  Inversiones
Petroleras de Colombia SA to give a total interest to the Company  of
58.05%. The  consideration paid  for the  additional stake  was  US$4
million. With a majority stake in this project, the Group became  the
operator of the fields. In July 2009, on receipt of the Environmental
Permits for three Burdine wells, the Group commenced work on them  to
evaluate their condition. Burdine 1, 4 and 5 were found to be in good
mechanical condition and were put on short term production tests. The
initial, restricted, flow rate from  Burdine5 was around 60 bopd  and
bottom  hole  pressure  analysis  indicates  that  this  well  is  an
excellent candidate for reperforating  the producing intervals.  Well
Burdine1 is now on a longer term production test with around 300 bopd
of light crude. The short term plan is to workover the Burdine  wells
and subsequently  upgrade  the  construction  of  Burdine  production
facilities. The medium term plan (Q2 in 2010) is to locate one or two
new prospects for the drilling of  development wells on the crest  of
Nancy after interpretation of available seismic lines. At present the
Nancy structure  has only  one  producing well,  N1, from  which  the
actual identified reserves are being drained, but N1 is on the  flank
of the structure and, as expected, production is declining.

The Group finalised its acquisition of a 20% working interest in  the
Azar Block in the Putumayo Basin  of Colombia. The Group was  carried
through the Palmera1 work  over and will be  carried for half of  its
20% working interest in the first exploration well on the Block.  The
workover of the Palmera1 well tested 15o API oil at 45 bopd  although
a bottomhole  pressure survey  indicated a  pumped potential  of  300
bopd. It  is  suspended  pending  studies  on  its  completion  as  a
producing well and additional economic  studies. A 3D and 2D  seismic
programme has been completed on the block to confirm the location  of
the next exploration well  and firm up other  prospects on the  block
for possible drilling in 2010.

On the Rosa Blanca block the  Group had farmed out half its  interest
to Osage Exploration  and Development Inc  ("Osage") who carried  the
Group for the cost of the  well and 30 days of testing.  Subsequently
Osage farmed  out  part of  its  interest to  Lewis  Energy  Colombia
("Lewis Energy") who  operates the  block to  the south  of the  Rosa
Blanca block. The first exploration well on the block was drilled and
then suspended  in  December  2008  pending  testing.  The  well  was
extensively tested  over two  periods in  late January  2009 and  mid
March 2009. However, as only water was tested from all four zones the
well was  plugged  and abandoned  in  late March  2009.  As  recently
announced, Lewis Energy and Osage have left the licence group so Gold
Oil (90%) and  Empesa S.A.  (10%) will use  the funds  lodged by  all
parties with ANH (Agence Nacional  de Hidrocarburo) to shoot  seismic
later this year. Lewis  Energy has signed an  agreement to come  back
onto the Rosa Blanca Block for 25% equity and reimbursement of  their
share of past costs incurred by Gold Oil and Empesa.

With our increased level of activity in Colombia, the Group opened  a
small  office  in  Bogota  and   recruited  Mr  Carlos  Gaviria,   an
experienced engineer, as Country Manager.

Cuba

In Cuba no progress has been made in getting the Cuban Government  to
approve negotiations for a PSA (production sharing agreement). We are
keeping  this  project   under  review  and   will  report  back   to
shareholders if any progress is made.

Operational Outlook

In Peru we are planning  to farm out part  of our interests in  Block
Z34 and Block  XXI and  we have  active negotiations  in process.  In
Colombia our primary efforts will  focus on increasing production  of
Nancy  and  Burdine.  We  are  also  exploring  the  possibility   of
negotiating an extension of the licence for the Nancy Burdine  fields
and the  initial indications  are that  this should  be possible.  In
addition, subject to  the results of  the seismic interpretation,  we
intend to participate in one exploration  well on the Azar block  for
which our interest is partially carried. Activity on the Rosa  Blanca
block will  depend on  the outcome  of the  new seismic  and  further
geological and geophysical work

Financial Review

Revenue for the  year increased to  £1,004,000 (2008: £398,000).  The
loss  after  tax  for  the  year  was  £3,039,000  (2008:  profit  of
£837,000).

At the year end the Group had cash of £2,179,000 (2008: £5,150,000).

The Directors recommend that no dividend be paid (2008 £nil).

Corporate Review

During the year two  share placings were  undertaken by the  Company:
the first in July 2008 saw  22.92m of the Company's ordinary  shares,
that had  previously  been  held  for  the  account  of  the  Company
following the  disposal  of its  interest  in Minmet  Resources  plc,
issued at 8p per share to raise £1.8m; and the second in January 2009
where 16.125m  new  shares were  issued  at  4p per  share  to  raise
£645,000, both amounts before expenses.  A dispute arose with  regard
to the second placing which has now been resolved (see below).

The Company faced two  legal disputes during  the period. A  wrongful
termination case brought by Mrs Imelda Moore following her redundancy
in April 2008 was settled on terms favourable to the Company in  July
2009. The dispute, arising out of  the placing of 16.125m new  shares
in the Company undertaken in January 2009, was settled out of  court,
again with a positive outcome for the Company.

The six million  shares which were  the subject of  the dispute  were
returned and subsequently  placed out  at a  price of  4.5 pence  per
share to raise £270,000 in additional cash for the Company.

Upon my appointment as Chairman, an immediate reduction of  overheads
was implemented. Strict cost controls remain in place.

Management and Staff

I would like to thank all my colleagues for their efforts during  the
year. We are currently a small  team within the Company and this  can
have an effect on timelines. It  is important that we strengthen  our
management team  as  soon  as  is practicable  and  bring  in  direct
technical expertise.

Conclusion

The  current  macroeconomic  climate   makes  for  very   challenging
conditions at  the present  time for  small oil  and gas  exploration
companies such as  Gold. Exploration  for hydrocarbons  is a  capital
intensive business and in the year under review the steep decline  in
world equity markets  and the  contraction of  credit markets  placed
serious limitations on  access to  capital. All  E&P businesses  have
suffered during this period  as the high risk  sectors have been  hit
particularly hard  by  the financial  crisis  and the  price  of  oil
declined significantly.

Notwithstanding the above, we are moving all of our assets forward at
the current  time. I  believe  we have  an interesting  portfolio  of
assets with  a  strategy in  place  to  try and  balance  "blue  sky"
exploration risk with solid  production and that  we have retained  a
good geographic  focus. A  significant challenge  facing the  Company
will be to raise sufficient  capital, either directly or  indirectly,
to realise the potential of our assets.

Finally I want  to thank  shareholders for the  patience and  support
they have demonstrated throughout the year.
