Press Releases

CALGARY, Sept. 9 /CNW/ - Base Oil & Gas Ltd. ("Base" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: BOG) is pleased to announce that it intends to issue, on a non-brokered private placement basis (the "Private Placement") up to 7.2 million common shares ("Common Shares") at a price of $0.28 per share for gross proceeds of up to $2,016,000. The Private Placement is expected to close on or before September 28, 2010.

The gross proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to finance the Company's share of the third earning well ("3rd Earning Well") under a previously announced farm-in agreement to develop Cardium production with a private company in the Pembina area. By paying 50% of the drilling, completing, equipping and tie-in costs of the 3rd Earning Well, Base will earn a 30% working interest in the well and the Cardium rights within the section. The second earning well ("2nd Earning Well") under this agreement has averaged approximately 300 BOE's/day since it was put on production September 1, 2010.

The Private Placement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, which may impose conditions in connection with its approval of the Private Placement. All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period.

Base Oil & Gas Ltd. is a Calgary based emerging oil and gas company, focused on the development of oil and gas reserves in the Western Canadian Sedimentary basin.

References herein to "BOE" mean barrels of oil equivalent derived by converting gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of gas to one barrel (bbl) of oil. BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
