Iona Energy Inc. ("Iona" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:INA) is pleased to
announce an operational update related to its Huntington Oil Field located in
the UK North Sea.
During April 2014, Huntington saw average production of 9,880 boepd (1,734 boepd
net to Iona) due to two unrelated issues. From April 12th to April 24th,
Huntington production was suspended as the Voyageur FPSO underwent repairs to
its inert gas system, work that was completed ahead of schedule, and production
resumed on the 25th of April. On April 26th, the Huntington partnership was
notified of an unplanned shutdown of the Central Area Transmission System's
("CATS") riser platform, shutting in multiple fields that export across the
system. Huntington resumed production on May 11th and is now back at full
capacity.
The working interests in the Huntington field are E.ON E&P UK Ltd (25%
Operator), Premier Oil plc (40%), Noreco Oil (UK) Limited (20%), and Iona (15%).
In addition to the working interest, Iona holds a gross overriding royalty of
2.55% of the total Huntington production, payable from the Huntington joint
venture partners.
Additional information relating to the Company is available on SEDAR at

Notes Regarding Oil and Gas Disclosure
As used in this press release, "boe" means barrel of oil equivalent on the basis
of 6 mcf of natural gas to 1 bbl of oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if
used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy
equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does
not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
Additionally, this press release uses certain abbreviations as follows:
Oil and Natural Gas Liquids Natural Gas
boepd barrels of oil mcf thousand cubic feet
equivalent per day
