CPI Condor Petroleum Inc

Condor Petroleum Inc. ("Condor" or the "Company") (TSX:CPI) provides an update
on its Shoba 7 appraisal well (the "Well") at the Zharkamys West 1 Contract
Territory (the "Zharkamys Territory") in Kazakhstan.


The Well was drilled to core point at 730 meters. While tripping out of the hole
for core barrels, an uncontrolled gas influx occurred in the wellbore and as a
result the Well was shut in and well control operations were commenced.


Currently the gas from the influx is being safely flared and the fluids (mud and
water) released at surface have been contained. In addition, a surface breach of
drilling mud and gas has occurred adjacent to the Well's drilling location. This
area has been contained to minimize any environmental impact or fire hazard. The
targeted oil bearing zone had not been penetrated and to date no oil has been
observed at surface. There have been no injuries to personnel or damage to
equipment other than the drill string which may be damaged or lost in the
wellbore.


The Company intends to continue well control operations until the Shoba 7 gas
zone has been isolated and sealed from flow to surface. If the current well
control operations are unsuccessful, the Company may need to take additional
measures which may include drilling a relief well.
