For immediate release

Sound Oil plc

("Sound Oil" or "the Company")



Status of d148 DR-CS and d150 DR-CS Permits



Sound Oil plc, the upstream oil and gas company with assets in Italy and Indonesia, announces that the Ministry of Economic Development in Italy has withdrawn Sound Oil's Assigned Permits d148 DR-CS and d150 DR-CS from the application process to full permit status. This is in compliance with the environmental decree 128/1210 enacted in June 2010 which prevents oil and gas activity within 5 nautical miles of the Italian coast. Sound Oil is considering appealing against this decision through the relevant authority. Sound Oil is one of 9 companies affected so far, involving the withdrawal of 18 permit applications in the Italian coastal zone over the last two months.



Commenting on this Gerry Orbell, Chairman and Chief Executive said:



"The applications for these two permits were made a long time before the new environmental law was brought in following the BP Deepwater Horizon blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. As it affects many companies operating close to the Italian coast, it has been under continuous discussion by the Italian Oil and Gas trade association and the relevant ministries.



Our other offshore Assigned Permit at D503 BR-CS (Dora gas discovery) lies outside this zone and is progressing to full permit status. In the near term we will now focus our offshore efforts on Dora.



Neither of the withdrawn Assigned Permits was scheduled for drilling before 2013/14 and we expect to replace them with permits of greater value/potential in due course."

Do not need news like this in these times. Two bad rns's in a row now.

Sound Oil to focus near term offshore efforts on Dora gas discovery - http://t.co/H8S0Yba

Sound Oil expects to replace the withdrawn permits with ones of greater value
Italy and Indonesia-focused oil and gas explorer Sound Oil (LON:SOU) is to focus near term offshore efforts on its D503 BR-CS Dora gas discovery in the central Adriatic Sea after the Italian Ministry of Economic Development withdrew the firms Assigned Permits d148 DR-CS and d150 DR-CS from the application process to full permit status.
Shares in Sound fell below two pence each after the firm announced the news just before 4pm today. By close they were down 4.13 per cent at 1.975 pence each.
Sound said that the ministrys decision was in compliance with Italys June 2010 environmental decree 128/1210 enacted in June 2010 that prevents oil and gas activity within five nautical miles of the Italian coast. The firm, one of nine companies affected so far, is considering appealing against the decision.
The Dora gas discovery lies outside the zone and Sound said it is progressing to full permit status.
The applications for these two permits were made a long time before the new environmental law was brought in following the BP Deepwater Horizon blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. As it affects many companies operating close to the Italian coast, it has been under continuous discussion by the Italian oil and gas trade association and the relevant ministries, said Gerry Orbell, Sounds chairman and chief executive. Neither of the withdrawn Assigned Permits was scheduled for drilling before 2013/14 and we expect to replace them with permits of greater value/potential in due course."

Another feature story was dedicated to fellow oil and gas company Sound Oil (LON:SOU).

Proactive talked to chairman Gerry Orbell, who said that the recent cancellation of two of its offshore licences, following the Italian 5-mile drilling ban last year doesn't affect the high impact activity it is about to start this fall.

Sound Oil has an eight-well drilling programme onshore in Italy and Indonesia that will be rolled out over the next year, and, with 11 million of cash, the financial wherewithal to fund its ambitions.

Orbell added that he is very optimistic that we will be awarded permits equally as attractive or even more so shortly.

Sound out the CEO next week in London!

Rapagnano Concession Update

Rapagnano Concession update



Sound Oil (AIM:SOU), the upstream oil and gas company with assets in Italy and Indonesia, announces that the Italian Ministry for Economic Development has awarded the Rapagnano Concession, located in the Marche Region of central Italy, to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Apennine Energy srl. The award is subject to the acceptance of any environmental impact assessment that may be required by the Marche regional authorities. In view of the previous production history at the site which is within an industrial area, the Company anticipates that this acceptance will be granted.



The Rapagnano gas field on the concession had previously produced 4.1 Bscf of gas into the national network until it was shut-in in 2001. A recent reservoir engineering study by consultants Senergy (GB) Ltd has estimated that an additional 2.45 Bscf of gas is potentially recoverable from the field. Apennine's objective will be to put the field back on stream at an approximate estimated cost of US$0.5 million with expected first revenue in Q2 of 2012.





Commenting on the news, Gerry Orbell, Sound Oil's Chairman and Chief Executive, said:



"This is very encouraging news. The Italian Ministry has awarded the Rapagnano field to us at no cost with the expectation that we can put it back on stream quickly. We intend to produce to the national gas network through the connection which is on site and provide an early cash flow with minimal investment."
