Madalena Provides Oil Pricing Update

CALGARY, Alberta, January 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

(All dollar figures are expressed in United States Dollars) 

Madalena Energy Inc. ("Madalena" or the "Company") (TSXV: MVN and OTCQX: MDLNF) has been advised that a majority of producers and refiners in Argentina, at the request of the government, have signed a 2017 Medanito crude oil pricing agreement (the "Agreement") allowing for convergence with international Brent pricing over the coming months. International Brent oil prices have been trading at approximately $55.00 per barrel to date in 2017.

A summary of Medanito monthly crude oil pricing for 2017 is as follows:


   
    2017            $/Bbl
    January         $59.40
    February        $58.70
    March           $57.90
    April           $57.20
    May             $56.50
    June            $55.70
    July - December $55.00

Further, the Agreement outlines that should international Brent pricing be reached and remain higher than $1.00 above the monthly Medanito floor price for 10 consecutive days, the Agreement will be suspended and international Brent pricing adopted. Should international Brent pricing fall below $45.00 for 10 consecutive days, the Agreement will be reviewed.

For the first nine months of 2016 Madalena realized an average oil price of $62.10 per barrel which incorporated an average discount from the Medanito benchmark of approximately $5.00 per barrel. In the fourth quarter of 2016, Madalena expects to realize an average oil price of approximately $54.00 per barrel.
