DXI Energy Receives Additional $609k Investment Capital to Support Expanded Woodrush NEBC Drill Program

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 7, 2017) - DXI Energy Inc. (TSX: DXI) (OTCQB: DXIEF) ("DXI" or the "Company"), an upstream oil and gas exploration and production company focused in Colorado's Piceance Basin and the Peace River Arch region of Canada's Western Sedimentary Basin, today announced, subject to review by the appropriate regulatory authorities, that it has closed additional subscriptions for 3,386,500 shares at C$0.075 per share and 3,946,388 flow through shares at C$0.09 per share. Funds will be applied to the ongoing drill program at Woodrush targeting new oil production, oil reserve expansion and to prudent balance sheet management.

"We are very encouraged by the continuing level of investor interest in our Woodrush B.C. oil project, as it further validates the merits of our exploration and development initiative. Additional capital allows us to secure the best cost efficiencies to maximize both netbacks and IRR while we build upon our legacy production that has exceeded 675,000 barrels of oil to date. The Peace River district has been a premium destination target for conventional oil production in B.C. since the 1950's, significantly from the unique Halfway production fairway extending north from Fort St. John. Our 99% owned and operated property, encompassing 12,000 acres within that fairway, with C$12 million of in-place infrastructure, possesses material Halfway reservoir expansion potential based on the reinterpretation of proprietary 3D, licensed 2D seismic data and now the merge of that data with over 26 sq. mi. of additional 3D data. Our goal today is to realize a dynamic, sustainable oil production hub delivering the lowest cost light oil in B.C.," states Robert L. Hodgkinson, Chairman & CEO.
