Operational Update - Barryroe

25 July 2013

Lansdowne Oil & Gas, the North Celtic Sea focussed, oil and gas exploration company welcomes the announcement today by Providence Resources P.l.c. ("Providence"), as Operator, of a financial update (the "Financial Update") prepared by Netherland Sewell & Associates Inc. ("NSAI") estimating the contingent resource and cash flows attributable to Providence in connection with the Barryroe oil field ("Barryroe").

The Financial Update (a summary excerpt of which is posted on the Providence website at www.providenceresources.com), complements the earlier contingent resource audit by NSAI, published in April 2013, on the in-place hydrocarbon and recoverable resources for the Basal Wealden A sand oil reservoir.

Lansdowne holds a 20% interest in Barryroe which is located in Standard Exploration Licence (SEL) 1/11 and Licensing Option (LO) 12/4, in approximately 100 metre water depth about 50 kilometres off the south coast of Ireland.

In addition to its 20% stake in the transformational Barryroe field, Lansdowne has three drill ready prospects defined on 2011 3D seismic data , with a farm-out data room exercise on-going to identify partners for a three well drilling programme in 2014.
