NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. WIRE SERVICES

Petrodorado Energy Ltd. ("Petrodorado" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PDQ)
intends to case and test the second exploration well, Loto-1X, in the CPO-5
Block located in the Llanos Basin in Colombia.


Loto-1X

This second exploration well commenced on January 22, 2013, and was drilled to a
total measured depth of 10,500 feet. The Loto-1X well targeted the Mirador,
Guadalupe and Une sands.


Drilling has been completed and three conventional cores were obtained and
logging operations have been concluded. Petrophysical evaluation supported by
the conventional cores indicates that the target reservoir sands in the
Tertiary, Mirador and Guadalupe formations are oil bearing. Well logs indicate
total potential net oil pay of approximately 80 feet of high quality sand.


Fluid sampling is presently being run in the three potential reservoirs as well
as in the Une formation to confirm if it contains mobile hydrocarbons.


An ESP multi-zone testing program using the present drilling rig is planned for
the Loto-1X well in the Mirador, Guadalupe and Une formations. The Une formation
will be tested conditional on fluid sampling results.


The CPO-5 Block is presently under phase one of a two-phase exploration program
of a total of 5 committed exploration wells. 


Petrodorado has a 30% non-operated working interest in the CPO-5 Block.

Krishna Vathyam, Chairman, President and CEO of Petrodorado Energy Ltd.

"The conventional cores and logging indicate excellent quality sands in the
target zones and are similar to the sands found in nearby discoveries. We await
testing results to confirm these logging and coring results."
