BNK Petroleum Inc. Notifies of Transportation Incident in Poland

Camarillo, California (ots/PRNewswire) -

BNK Petroleum Inc. ("Company") announces that it has been advised
of a transportation incident during the drilling rig move between the
Gapowo B-1 and Miszewo T-1 wells. A tank truck, subcontracted by MDW
S.A. ("MDW"), a company specializing in the transportation of
drilling muds and responsible for the handling and managing of fluids
between the two wellsites, was transporting approximately 16 m3 of
fresh water drilling mud when it overturned on the Kaszubskie
roundabout near the town of Bytow. There were no injuries and no
other vehicles were involved in the incident. Initial figures
estimate that approximately 12 m3 of the fresh water mud spilled into
the road culvert. The drilling mud is used during drilling operations
and is comprised primarily of fresh water and bentonite (clay). Very
small quantities of non-toxic additives were also present in the mud
such as polymers, xantham gum and sodium bicarbonate as well as
approximately 0.1% of biocide. According to Schlumberger Oilfield
Eastern Limited Sp. z o.o., the mud additives company, this small
quantity of biocide is non-toxic at this dilution level. The Company
praises the local police and fire departments on their immediate
professional response.

The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Wolf Regener
commented: "In keeping with our commitment to the environment and
safe and sustainable development, management and personnel of the
Company's subsidiary in Poland have been mobilized to assist MDW and
local police and fire departments in coordinating mitigation and
clean-up operations."
