Hanwei Energy Announces Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Acquisition of 4,000 Acres of Oil and Gas Leases in Alberta

Hanwei Energy Services Corp. (TSX:HE) ("Hanwei" or the "Company"), today
announced that the Company has reached an agreement (the "Purchase and Sale
Agreement" or "PSA") for the acquisition of certain oil and gas interests from
an Alberta-based oil and gas exploration and production company ("Vendor"),
occupying some 4,000 acres located approximately 40 km south west of Edmonton,
Alberta (the "Lands"), for a purchase price of $1.8 million (plus G.S.T. and
customary closing adjustments)(the "Acquisition"). A deposit of $180,000 was
paid in accordance with the PSA. 


The Acquisition aims to strategically diversify the Company's capital
investments, operations and revenue while maintaining its focus within the oil
and gas industry. The Vendor commissioned a report (dated March 31, 2013)
prepared by an Independent Qualified Reserve Evaluator indicating total oil and
gas proved and probable reserve in the Lands of 494 mboe. Upon closing of the
Acquisition, the Company plans to commence the preparation of a development
program during 2014. Hanwei, through its appointed contractors, will operate the
majority of the assets being acquired and will own a 100% working interest in
these Lands. It is expected that oil and gas production facilities to be
developed within the Lands will utilize Hanwei's fiberglass reinforced plastic
pipe products, associated technologies, and expertise. 


Upon the Company having obtained certain approvals from the Alberta Energy
Regulator (the "AER") and Vendor having obtained TSX Venture Exchange approval,
the Acquisition will be closed into escrow (the "Escrow Closing Date").
Subsequent to the Escrow Closing Date and upon approval from the AER for certain
well licenses to be transferred from Vendor to the Company (the "Well License
Transfer Approval"), the closing consideration shall be released from escrow and
the Acquisition shall be deemed closed (the "Closing Date"). Notwithstanding the
aforementioned, should the Well License Transfer Approval not be granted by the
AER within five months of the date of the PSA then all or a portion of the
closing consideration shall be returned to the Company and the PSA shall be
deemed terminated. Funding of the Acquisition will be completed by way of a
shareholder's loan provided by Hanwei's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
(the "Shareholder's Loan"). The Shareholders Loan is unsecured and for no fixed
term, at zero interest rate, and is repayable at call.


The PSA requires a Put/Call Option Agreement to be executed between Vendor and
the Company on the Escrow Closing Date (the "Option Agreement"), which Option
Agreement will require Vendor to sell and/or the Company to acquire, Vendor's
then pooled and working interests, wells and pipelines on and related to a
section of lands immediately adjacent to the Lands (the "Option Assets"). The
Option Agreement is subject to certain items to be undertaken by Vendor to the
satisfaction of the Company within six months of the Closing Date, the purchase
consideration for the Option Assets being $500,000 plus G.S.T.
