Sky Petroleum Corporate Update

SKY PETROLEUM, INC. (OTCBB: SKPI) is an international energy business concentrating on exploration and production, trading and advisory services. Its management and board have extensive experience successfully working in North Africa, Europe, and the Far and Middle East. Sky Petroleum has been exploring opportunities in the Maghreb in the past 2 years and has a significant amount of geological, structural and seismic interpretation data.

Present Activities

While the company has appeared dormant over the last few years, Sky Petroleum’s management has been aggressively seeking and securing important key alliances. For the past few years Sky Petroleum has been working with both private and public entity partners to develop new strategies and opportunities related to energy infrastructure projects. Additionally, Sky Petroleum has been seeking and developing partnerships and other potential strategic alliances needed to either rebuild or create new energy producing and management projects, including clean coal Energy production, wind and other alternative energy methods as well as oil and gas E&P.

Sky Petroleum has project commitments and is entering into agreements for projects within Sub-Saharan and West Africa. We believe these projects have the potential to produce significant and consistent revenue for the company.

With the changing dynamics and notable restructuring of the entire energy industry over the last ten years, Sky Petroleum believes that companies in this field must be highly opportunistic, operationally nimble and alliance friendly. Sky Petroleum's crude oil and products trading business is also a development focus and potentially offers significant growth for the company.

Sky Petroleum is working with one of its partners to supply certain areas in continental Africa with advanced renewable energy technologies, currently focused on Clean Coal Power.

Looking Ahead

Sky Petroleum's board of directors have been patient with the timing of growth and corporate developments. The growth strategy is further assisted by current market demands and development potential opportunities. The board believes that the strategy is on course with further work to enhance the portfolio of opportunities for growth, and is also reviewing its significant tax loss carry.

As several new governments are eager to improve and create new energy assets, Sky Petroleum believes that, through its experience, leadership, and extensive relationships, it is well positioned to play a key role in these developments.
