Stream Submits Plans of Development for Oil Fields

VANCOUVER , Oct. 7 /CNW/ - Stream Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSX-V: SKO) is pleased to announce that the Company has fulfilled its commitments and completed the evaluation phases on its three Albanian oil fields (Cakran-Mollaj, Gorisht-Kocul, Ballsh-Hekal). Plans of Development for each of the oil fields have been submitted to the Albanian authorities and approval is expected in the near future.

Stream is currently evaluating optimal financing arrangements to fund the Plans of Development. In parallel the management team is finalizing implementation plans once approvals are obtained. The Plans of Development include completing the takeover of all wells in the oil fields within the next 12 months. In addition, the Company is preparing the Plan of Development for its Delvina gas field, which is expected to be submitted prior to the end of 2009.

Subject to timely approvals and to raising appropriate funding, Stream intends to implement Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) techniques (managed reservoir recompletions) in certain of the recently taken over wells, with the objective of at least doubling existing production before mid year 2010. Through the balance of 2010, Stream will complete additional takeovers, enabling further IOR production increases, as well as carrying out technical planning for the future deployment of Gorisht water flood and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) testing for the Cakran and Ballsh oil fields.

Dr. Sotirios Kapotas , Chief Executive Officer stated, "The submission of the Plans of Development is a significant milestone for Stream, demonstrating the effectiveness of our expanded team. The Company is now well positioned to increase production significantly through incremental and enhanced oil recovery techniques as we implement our development plans."

Operation Update

The Company's independent reserve valuation report is in progress and the Company expects completion before fiscal year end.

Accounts receivable, of approximately US$1.1 million from Albpetrol, have now been settled in kind under an agreement whereby the Company will receive additional crude oil starting in October 2009 for a three-month period. This extra crude will be sold under Stream's existing sales contract and will provide additional cash-flow to the Company.

Current average gross crude oil production is stable at 470 bopd (240 bopd net to Stream) and the average oil price currently received is $40.00 /bbl. Basic well workovers continue to sustain and improve production levels. Interpretation of the 3D passive seismic results is under way, focusing on updating the structural map of the Delvina gas field.
