Vanoil Energy Ltd. ("Vanoil") (TSX VENTURE:VEL) is proud to announce that it has
commenced its comprehensive 2D seismic program on its 100% owned Block 3A in
Kenya, which is strategically situated in the Anza Basin within the hydrocarbon
prolific Cretaceous Central African Rift Basin System, adjacent to blocks held
by the Chinese National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), Tullow Oil plc, Africa
Oil and Lion Petroleum.


The budget for the 2D seismic program is USD $4,600,000 and will cover in excess
of 400 line kilometres within the 12,400 square kilometres of Vanoil's Block 3A.
The shooting of the first seismic line, which covered 57 kilometres, has been
completed and is currently being evaluated. Vanoil anticipates the Seismic
program to be completed in early October, at which time a complete set of data
will be sent for processing and interpretation. Proposals for the execution of
the final phase of the seismic program have been received and are being
evaluated.


To date, Vanoil has mapped a total of eleven prospects/leads based on 1500 line
kilometres of Chevron 2D seismic. A key objective of Vanoil's ongoing seismic
program is to test the un-risked potential of five leads in Block 3A that have
size, potential and position in the heart of the Anza Basin. One of the priority
prospects, Prospect 6, a proposed re-drill of the Endela-1 well, which was
originally drilled to a depth of just 2500 meters, targets a 250 million barrel
potential cretaceous anticline with amplitude anomalies similar to successful
wells drilled in the Albertine Basin of Uganda.


The Company's 100% owned Blocks 3A and 3B, which cover approximately 25,000
square kilometers, puts Vanoil in the front and centre of the action in Kenya,
in a play many industry veterans consider one of the last great rift basins open
to exploration. The highly prospective Central African Rift System, which
extends into Vanoil's Block 3A, has the prolific Melut and Muglad basins in
southern Sudan, two of the major sources of crude oil in Africa. Also in the
East African region we have the Albertine Graben in Uganda where Tullow Oil has
discovered and identified resources in excess of 2.5 billion barrels (Tullow Oil
plc: Sept 02, 2010).


Vanoil's President, Mr. Dal Brynelsen, commented, "Interest in the area is
heating up, evidenced by Tullow Oil's recent farm-in agreement with Africa Oil
to acquire a 50% interest in licences covering the East African Rift Basins of
Kenya and Ethiopia. With 25,000 square kilometres of oil and gas rights, VanOil
is a significant petroleum rights holder in Kenya. We are now putting our
geo-science to the test with this seismic program, set to confirm five leads to
drill point election in the Cretaceous-age Anza Graben, which underlies Block
3A, and is host to reservoir, seals and potential source rocks that suggest the
presence of a petroleum system."


About Vanoil Energy Ltd.

Based in Vancouver, Canada, Vanoil Energy Ltd. is an internationally diversified
resource company that has a comprehensive portfolio of oil and gas assets in the
African countries of Kenya and Rwanda, and in the Province of Alberta, Canada.
In Kenya, Blocks 3A and 3B were acquired in October 2007 through the signing of
a Production Sharing Contract with the Government of the Republic of Kenya.
Blocks 3A and 3B, which cover 24,912 square kilometres, are part of the vastly
under-explored Cretaceous Central African Rift Basin System, an area that may
possibly hold the next major sub-Saharan discovery. Vanoil's 1,631 square
kilometres of oil and gas concession in the East Kivu Graben in Rwanda is at the
southern extension of the Albertine Graben where Heritage and Tullow Oil made
their historic discovery in neighbouring Uganda. Vanoil also owns a 42% working
interest in the Sarcee 12-13 gas well and the surrounding four sections (2,560
acres) of land in the Turner Valley Area in South-western Alberta.
