Emerald Bay Provides Update on Texas Operations

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Dec. 17, 2013) - Emerald Bay Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EBY) (the "Company" or "Emerald Bay") is pleased to provide an update on recent activities in Texas.

At Wooden Horse, the Company continues to fine tune the production procedures of the Horizontal Edwards well, Kuhn 1H. The current submersible pump has been in a horizontal position since mid-October, and has provided good oil shows. The Company's engineers have determined that an additional stage will need to be added to the submersible pump to move the fluid volume necessary for a good oil cut. This procedure is planned to take place immediately and it is anticipated that the well will be back online by Friday, December 20^th. Emerald Bay President, Shelby D. Beattie, expounded, "The additional stage being added to the pump should enhance the fluid volume being produced daily. We anticipate that the increased fluid volume will have a corresponding increase in the oil cut as we move toward establishing oil production at Kuhn 1H."

Also at Wooden Horse, the Company is moving ahead with a stimulation program on the vertical well Kuhn 2 in the Edwards formation. This is a key step in the development of the Edwards play at Wooden Horse.

At Cottonwood Creek, the Poenitz 1 well is now producing oil and the Company is moving ahead with plans to drill Poenitz 2 in the coming weeks.

At Nash Creek, the Company has received the permit to injectsalt water on its Nash Creek property. Similar to the development of the Wooden Horse play, the salt water disposal well is the key initial step for developing the Nash Creek play. The Company will now move forward with its seismic and geophysical program at Nash Creek..
