Petrolympic Settles Dispute Over Maverick Basin Properties; Provides Update

Petrolympic Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PCQ) ("Petrolympic") is pleased to announce that
Petrolympic USA, Inc. ("Petrolympic USA") has resolved its dispute (as
previously disclosed in a Petrolympic press release issued on March 20, 2012)
with Texas HBP LLC, Big Shell Oil & Gas Inc. and Harvey E. White (the "Big Shell
Entities"), pertaining to the Chittim Ranch 80 #2V Well (the "Well") located in
Maverick County, Texas. The Well was drilled pursuant to Petrolympic USA's
participation agreement with Texas HBP and Big Shell (for further details,
please refer to Petrolympic's press release issued on May 11, 2011).  


The settlement with the Big Shell Entities provides for the following: 



--  The Big Shell Entities have consented to the direct assignment to
    Petrolympic USA Inc. of an 80.25% working interest (net revenue interest
    of 60.1875%) in the Well and the surrounding 320-acre leasehold estate
    (the "Petrolympic Property") increased from the originally agreed upon
    50% working interest (net revenue interest of 37.5%). 
    
--  Upon implementation of settlement with the Big Shell Entities,
    Petrolympic USA will seek consent from the landowners of a formal
    assignment of the Petrolympic Property and seek to formally change the
    operatorship with the Railroad Commission of Texas. 
    
--  Big Shell is relinquishing operations over the Petrolympic Property to
    Oil-Lympia Oil and Gas Inc., a subsidiary company of Petrolympic. 
    
--  Petrolympic USA has agreed to satisfy all outstanding invoices to third-
    party vendors and service providers in relation to prior operations on
    the Well. 
    
--  Petrolympic USA has relinquished any rights under the participation
    agreement in the balance of the 8,000 acres.  



Once the settlement is complete, Petrolympic USA expects to commence long-term
testing of the Well as operator with the objective of testing potential
production rates. After testing, Petrolympic USA will consider additional
operations on the Petrolympic Property. During drilling of Well, seven potential
oil and gas bearing horizons were penetrated, and the settlement agreement will
permit additional drilling on the Petrolympic Property. The management believes
that Petrolympic Property allows drilling additional wells on the 40 acre
spacing.
