Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd.: Hungary Well Test Begins

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FO)(AIM:FOG)(ESM:FAC) ("Falcon" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that well testing operations on the Kutvolgy-1
well in Hungary have started.


Kutvolgy-1 is the first of a three well drilling and testing programme fully
funded by NAFTNA INDUSTRIJA SRBIJE JSC ("NIS"), to evaluate the gas potential of
the Algyo Formation in Falcon's Mako trough permit.


The testing objectives are to determine reservoir quality and gas productivity
from the target Algyo formation encountered in Kutvolgy-1. Testing operations
are anticipated to take 3 months.


Philip O'Quigley, CEO of Falcon commented:

"We are pleased to confirm that well testing operations on our Kutvolgy-1 well
have commenced.

Technical evaluation of the well results obtained so far indicate possible gas
pay zones in the Algyo formation that will be tested in the coming weeks."


About the Algyo

The Algyo is a relatively shallow play between 2,300m and 3,500m. A number of
Falcon wells have been drilled through the Algyo in recent years, some of which
encountered gas shows, but to date no well has ever tested the play concept at
an optimal location as previous wells targeted deeper intervals of up to 6,000m.


Multiple Algyo prospects have subsequently been identified by Falcon through
extensive AVO analysis. The ongoing exploration drilling program with NIS is
targeting three separate high-graded prospects.


An independent study by RPS Energy published in January 2013 included for the
first time Prospective Resource recoverable volumes attributable to the shallow
Algyo Play. According to the RPS report, eight of the ten prospects identified
by Falcon contain 568 BCF of prospective recoverable gas resources, each with a
10% Geological Probability of Success ("GPoS").
