(NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA)

Suroco Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SRN) ("Suroco" or the "Corporation") announces
it has completed the drilling of the Pinuna-7 stepout well with positive oil
indications. The Corporation also announces that drilling and production
operations at its Suroriente Block in the Putumayo Basin have been temporarily
suspended due to road blockages associated with strike actions which are
occurring in several regions of Colombia.


Pinuna-7 Stepout Well

The Pinuna-7 stepout well has reached total measured depth of 10,376 feet and
has been cased pending testing and completion operations. The logs and samples
gathered in the well indicate approximately ten feet of net oil pay in
sandstones of the Villeta Formation and the rig operations were suspended after
the casing was run. The well will be production tested once drilling operations
recommence.


Suroriente Block Operational Update

In response to the existence of road blockages that have been erected by local
inhabitants in several communities in Putumayo and elsewhere in Colombia,
drilling and production operations have been temporarily suspended in the
Suroriente Block. The blockages first began occurring on August 19th and
subsequently have made it impossible to carry on normal drilling and production
operations involving trucking and in maintaining normal supply of equipment,
fuel and personnel to the rig and production facilities. The widespread road
blockages which have occurred in various regions in Colombia are in response to
several factors, including rising fuel prices, a strong currency and declining
commodity prices. By suspending the drilling and trucking operations, the
Corporation is not exposed to significant ongoing standby costs. 


The Corporation is a Calgary-based junior oil and gas company, which explores
for, develops, produces and sells crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas
in Colombia. Further details of the Corporation's activities are contained in an
updated presentation to be available shortly on the Corporation's website. The
Corporation's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol
SRN.


Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to the
operational and exploration activities for Suroco, the evaluation of certain
prospects in which the Corporation holds an interest, estimated number of
drilling locations, estimated timing of drilling of wells, expected capital
program (including its allocation), production growth, reserves growth, the
ability of the Corporation to sell its crude volume and other statements that
are not historical facts. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans,
intentions or expectations upon which they are based will occur. By their
nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and
unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to
the possibility that the predictions, estimates, forecasts, projections and
other forward-looking statements will not occur, which may cause actual
performance and results in future periods to differ materially from any
estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied
by such forward-looking statements. These assumptions, risks and uncertainties
include, among other things, political and economic conditions in the country in
which the Corporation operates; risks associated with oil and gas operations and
future exploration activities; the state of the economy in general and capital
markets in particular; fluctuations in oil prices; the results of exploration
and development drilling, recompletions and related activities; changes in
environmental and other regulations; the need to obtain required approvals from
regulatory authorities; product supply and demand; market competition; and other
factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Corporation. You can find
an additional discussion of those assumptions, risks and uncertainties in
Suroco's Canadian securities filings. 


Readers should also note that even if the 2013 drilling program as proposed by
Suroco is successful, there are many factors that could result in production
levels being less than anticipated or targeted, including without limitation,
greater than anticipated declines in existing production due to poor reservoir
performance, mechanical failures or inability to access production facilities,
among other factors. 


The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of
the date of this press release. Except as required by law, Suroco disclaims any
intention and assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Additionally, Suroco undertakes no obligation to comment on the expectations of,
or statements made by, third parties in respect of the matters discussed above.
