Petra Petroleum Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PTL) ("Petra" or the "Company") hereby
provides the following update to its shareholders.


On March 2, 2009, the Company reported it was evaluating various alternatives to
its previously disclosed development plans because of the current instability of
the capital markets and the recent decline in gas commodity prices.


A decision was made to re-enter a plugged well on the Company's Naples Prospect,
which was previously drilled and abandoned in 1943. The old logs indicated the
potential for several hydrocarbon pay zones warranting further investigation.
Rig operations commenced during the last week of April and the well was
successfully cleaned to a depth of 8,515 feet. The open hole logs indicate the
presence of several narrow productive sands. Other thicker sands, which appeared
in the old logs, appear to be porous or nonproductive.


The Company has spent US$295,000 to date and has estimated it would cost an
additional US$600,000 to complete the well and deliver the gas. The thinner pay
sands lower the probability of achieving the production rates necessary for
previously estimated returns on investment given current depressed gas prices.
As a consequence, the well was plugged. The Company may, however, choose to
complete the well in the future should commodities prices recover.


Management continues to evaluate its prospects and best use of available capital.
