Petrogrand AB has through its Russian subsidiary Petrogrand Invest LLC, free of
charge been granted the rights to, during a 5 year period, perform geological
surveys on the license area Muromskij-2, in the Tomsk-region. Petrogrand will,
after test drillings and when the oil reserve is confirmed, apply for a 20 year
exploration and oil production license.
According to data from the State Committee for Natural Resources, the reserves
have been determined as 39.4 million tons, (295 million barrels)according to the
Russian classification.
 When the application period expired on 4 February, one additional application
had been submitted. The reason for the delays is that Petrogrand informed the
authorities of that the other applicant missed a proper company registration.
The following investigation by the authorities showed that this was correct and
the application failed.
Petrogrand will immediately check the status and quality of earlier surveys on
the license area. We will also soonest intensify our work to update and finalize
the survey, in order to safe guard that test drillings can be started in the
license area during the winter 2011/2012, says Maks Grinfeld, CEO Petrogrand.
Petrogrand will continuously keep the market informed about the work progress in
the license area.
Petrogrand'sbusiness concept is to carry on oil production via acquired Russian
oil companies and oil licenses. Petrogrand will also manage, enhance and sell
Russian oil assets.
