HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 11/10/15 -- Rockdale Resources Corporation (OTCQB: BBLS), ("Rockdale" or "Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 15% undivided Working Interest ("WI") in the Twin Lakes San Andres Unit ("TLSAU" or "Twin Lakes Unit") located in Chaves County, New Mexico. The Company acquired the interest from Blue Sky NM, Inc. ("BSNM") and assumes control of operations on November 15, 2015.

The total purchase price was $196,875, of which the Company has paid $50,000 in cash and executed a promissory note for the remaining balance. The note is due on or before December 31, 2015 and is secured by 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company.

TLSAU is 45 miles from Roswell, New Mexico and consists of 4,864 acres with 130 wells of which only 6 are currently online. The last independent reserve report prepared on November 3, 2013 by American Energy Advisors, Inc., reflects approximately 2.8 million barrels of proven oil reserves remaining for the 100% working interest.

"With the acquisition of interest in the Twin Lakes Unit, the Company increases its proven oil portfolio and gains operating control of a producing oilfield with tremendous upside in a prolific oil producing area of New Mexico," said Zel C. Khan, President and CEO, "The current economic conditions are allowing for greater opportunity for acquisition and development of mature oil fields."

Rockdale has also purchased a Promissory Note (the "Note") with a face value of $1.3 million from BSNM who had previously purchased the note from the Trustee appointed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the district of New Mexico, in connection with the Bankruptcy of Orbit Petroleum, Inc. This Note is secured by a significant amount of surface equipment and several mineral leases, including the TLSAU lease noted above. The Note was purchased for total consideration of six (6) million shares of Rockdale restricted common stock. The Company will attempt to collect proceeds due under the Note with the sale of equipment, of which there can be no assurance.
