MALKA OIL: COMPANY BELONGING TO VICE CHAIRMAN OCCUPIED OIL FIELD WITH ARMED FORCES


Oil fields belonging to Malka Oil were occupied by armed personnel
from the security company Shjit-West which is controlled by Malka's
vice chairman, Michail Malyarenko. The security company force
consisting of 22 men whereof the majority were armed flew into Malka
Oils oil fields in the Tomsk region in Western Siberia. Russian
police from the region has thereafter disarmed the force.

No personnel have come to harm.
-The most important is that no personnel have been hurt in the
upcoming situation. According to information currently available the
infrastructure is also intact. It is still unclear if there have been
any production disturbances says Fredrik Svinhufvud, Managing
Director Malka Oil and continues;
- It feels superfluous to say that this type of action is totally
unacceptable even if there is an open conflict between Michail
Malyarenko and Malka Oil.

Malka Oil AB (publ) is an independent oil and gas production  company
operating in  the Tomsk  region in  western Siberia.   Their  current
position consists of oil and gas  assets for licence block number  87
in the  said  region.   The  block has  a  surface  of  1,800  square
kilometres. There  are  currently three  oil  fields at  the  licence
block, namely Zapadno-Luginetskoye ("ZL"), Lower Luginetskoye  ("LL")
and the Schinginskoye oil  field, and a large  quantity of other  not
yet drilled oil structures.
The ZL and LL oil fields are  in production and these two oil  fields
have during 2007 went through  reserve classification by the  Russian
State Committee of Reserves  (GKZ) and during  spring 2008 a  Western
reserve study made  by DeGolyer and  MacNaughton. The GKZ  registered
extractable oil and condensate reserves  in the categories C1 and  C2
amounted to 97 million barrels at the end of 2007. The company's  own
estimate of its extractable oil  and condensate reserves, C1+ C2,  in
the three existing oil fields on licence block number 87 is currently
140-190 million barrels.  The Western reserve study estimation as  of
April 30, 2008 amounted to 43.5  million barrels 2P and 90.6  million
barrels 3P oil reserves.
Malka Oil's licence block is surrounded by a large number of
producing oil and gas fields.
