Vanoil Energy Ltd. ("Vanoil" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:VEL) is pleased to
announce that the Ministry of Energy of Kenya has accepted Vanoil's request for
an extension of the initial exploration period for Vanoil's 100% owned Blocks 3A
and 3B, which are comprised of 24,912 square kilometers of oil and gas
concessions in the Republic of Kenya's Central African Rift Basin System. The
initial exploration period has been extended for eleven months and will now
expire on September 30, 2012.


The granting of the extension is conditional upon the following additional
Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") commitments:




--  Complete an additional 25km2 of 3D seismic in the block to increase the
    seismic programme to 75km2; 
--  Increase in surface and training fees; 
--  Provide a 50% bank guarantee and 50% parent company guarantee; and 
--  One well commitment.



Vanoil has confirmed the Company's acceptance of the Ministry of Energy of
Kenya's terms for the extension of the initial exploration periods of Blocks 3A
and 3B and will undertake to ensure that the additional commitments to the PSC
are met. Vanoil expects the additional 3D seismic and increase in surface and
training fees to increase the Company's commitment by approximately US$1.1
million for the initial exploration period.


About Vanoil Energy Ltd.

Based in Vancouver, Canada, Vanoil is an internationally diversified resource
company that has a comprehensive portfolio of oil and gas assets in the African
countries of Kenya and Rwanda. 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
kilometers, are part of the vastly under-explored Cretaceous Central African
Rift Basin System, an area that may hold the next major sub-Saharan discoveries.
Vanoil's 1,631 square kilometers of oil and gas exclusive licence 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.
