PetroShare Corp. Signs Binding Letter of Intent Expanding Leasehold and Receives Approval for Its 14 Well Shook Pad From Adams County, Colorado

CENTENNIAL, CO--(Marketwired - September 26, 2016) - PetroShare Corp. (OTCQB: PRHR) ("PetroShare" or the "Company"), today announced the signing of a Binding Letter of Intent to acquire 305 net acres of leases adjacent to its Todd Creek Farms prospect area in Adams County, CO. The new leases potentially add up to 32 gross, standard and extended-length horizontal locations to its drilling inventory. The leases are in sections that offset two new producing Codell wells drilled and completed by an independent operator active in the area. The Company expects its strategic partner to acquire 50% of the leasehold interest and participate in future wells.

In addition, the Company announced that it has become the first oil and gas operating company to successfully receive project approval under the new Use by Special Review (USR) process as stipulated by Adams County, CO for oil and gas development. The approval is for 14 horizontal wells, ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 feet in producing lateral length, targeting the Codell and the A, B and C benches of the Niobrara formation on its Shook pad. The Company will be the operator of record for all wells drilled on the Shook pad and anticipates beginning pad site construction and surface facilities installation in the fourth quarter of 2016. The Shook pad is located within the Company's Todd Creek Farms prospect area, in the Southern Core area of the Wattenberg oil and gas field in the DJ Basin of northeastern Colorado.

"The USR approval in Adams County demonstrates the Company's ability to work with all interested stakeholders in the planning and development of our asset base in the Wattenberg Field," stated Stephen J. Foley, CEO of PetroShare. "Our new leasehold is part of the ongoing effort to expand our footprint through both asset acquisitions and organic leasing activities further enhancing the value of PetroShare shareholders."

Non-Operated Activity

The Company is also participating as a non-operator in several other development drilling projects including the Jacobucci pad, which consists of 14 mid-length laterals targeting the Codell and Niobrara B and C benches. The operator has recently completed drilling and casing operations on the eighth of 14 wells and is expected to begin completion activities during the first quarter of 2017. PetroShare has a working interest ranging from 10%-29% in the Jacobucci wells. Additionally, the Company has participated as a non-operating partner in the drilling and casing of a standard length Codell horizontal well to be completed in the near future in its Todd Creek Farms prospect area. Subject to funding, the Company plans to participate in all non-operated well proposals it may receive in the Todd Creek Farms prospect area.
