Petrodorado Energy Ltd. ("Petrodorado" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PDQ)
announces a new exploratory success at its Visure-1X well, located in the
Buganviles Block, Upper Magdalena Valley Basin, Colombia. 


The Visure-1X well, located in the Visure prospect, to the southeastern border
of the Buganviles Block, was drilled to evaluate a structural trap, similar to
the nearby producing Abanico field, to the northeast. The well had three main
exploratory targets: the Upper, Lower Cretaceous Guadalupe Formation and the
Tertiary Barzalosa Formation. The well was drilled slightly deviated at an angle
of 9 degrees and found the top of the Barzalosa Formation at 2,206 feet MD
(1,040 feet TVDSS), the Upper Guadalupe at 2,995 feet MD (1,825 feet TVDSS), the
Lower Guadalupe at 3,079 feet MD (1,908 feet TVDSS), and the top of Villeta
Formation at 3,272 feet MD (2,099 feet TVDSS).


The petrophysical evaluation of the well in Barzalosa, Upper and Lower Guadalupe
Formations indicated a total liquid hydrocarbon net pay of 114 feet in the three
intervals, ranging from 24.5 to 45.5 feet of net pay and 16% to 26% average
porosity. In additional to the oil bearing sandstones, the well also encountered
gas saturated sandstones in the Barzalosa Formation (3 feet).


The Visure-1X well was drilled in the southwestern flank of the Visure prospect,
and confirmed an oil-water contact at 1,970 feet TVDSS in the Lower Guadalupe
Formation, and according to the seismic interpretation, the crest of the
structure at this level, 0.7 km to the northeast, has been mapped at 1,915 feet
TVDSS, which could imply an additional 65 feet of hydrocarbon column for the
Visure prospect in the Lower Guadalupe Formation. The Company is now presently
preparing the testing of the Lower and Upper Guadalupe formations, and plans to
complete Visure-1X as a Guadalupe producer.


The results of the Visure-1X well in the Buganviles Block brings new exploration
opportunities in the area, so the Company is planning to drill additional
exploratory wells in the Block during the last quarter of 2010 and the first
quarter of 2011. 


Petrodorado has a 59.5% beneficial interest in the Visure prospect.

Well Tuqueque-1X is expected to start shortly, targeting the Tetuan and Caballos
formations.


Petrodorado has a 55% beneficial interest in the Tuqueque prospect.
