Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - December 7, 2017) - Chelsea Oil & Gas Ltd. (OTC Pink: COGLF) ("Chelsea" or the "Company") announces the following changes to its management and Board of Directors and corporate update.

Effective December 1, 2017, Yves Merer, Stewart Gibson and Toby Pierce resigned as directors of Chelsea. Chelsea thanks Mr. Merer, Mr. Gibson and Mr. Pierce for their support and wishes them the best in their future endeavors.

Effective December 1, 2017, William Petrie Jr. was appointed as a director of Chelsea, to hold office until the next annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company. William Petrie Jr., was a co-founder of Chelsea and previously served as its Chief Exploration Officer from 2012 - 2016.

Corporate Update

Chelsea has sought capital to fund exploration and development activity on its assets in Australia. There has been limited investor support for small exploration and production companies in most markets, evidenced by the limited number of financings and funds raised in North America and Australia since 2014.

With limited capital market support, throughout 2017, Chelsea has engaged with industry partners to secure a farm-in or sale of assets in its portfolio. The Company is working closely with its debtors to structure a transaction to significantly reduce, or pay off in full its outstanding debts.

Should a sale of substantially all of the assets of Chelsea occur, it may elect to seek an orderly windup of the Company, distributing to shareholders any funds received in excess of its debts.

These efforts are ongoing, and while the Company is encouraged with the level of interest it has received, there is no assurance that a transaction will be completed.
