PetroShare Corp. Announces Closing of Lease Acquisition and Filing of Well Permits

CENTENNIAL, CO--(Marketwired - April 06, 2016) -  PetroShare Corp. (OTCQB: PRHR) announced today that the Company has closed its previously announced acquisition of a producing well and associated leases totaling approximately 320 net acres within its Todd Creek Farms project in parts of Township 1 South, Range 67 West, Adams County, Colorado. This lease acquisition, coupled with other leases owned by the Company, represent a controlling interest in its multi-well Shook Pad. The Company has submitted permit applications for fourteen (14) horizontal well bores targeting the Niobrara and Codell formations on acreage that includes the newly-acquired leases. In addition, the lease acquisition includes an interest in two extended length Niobrara lease line lateral wells proposed to be operated by an established third party operator and anticipated to be drilled in the third quarter of this year. The acreage is located in the southern end of the Greater Wattenberg oil and gas field in the DJ Basin. The Company's participation in all of these wells is subject to receipt of additional working capital.

Based on independent reserve engineering estimates, the potential reserves are significant to the Company's retained interest associated with the Shook Pad development.

Stephen J. Foley, CEO stated, "We are excited to complete this acquisition which give us a substantial interest in our first operated drill block in this marquee unconventional resource play."
