CALGARY, Alberta, November 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Madalena Energy Inc. ("Madalena" or the "Company") (TSXV: MVN and OTCQX: MDLNF) has been advised by the refineries to which it delivers its oil production that the oil price it will receive for November and December oil production will be reduced by approximately 30%. Other producers have confirmed to the Company that they have been similarly advised. The Company received an average price per barrel during the third quarter of $61.65.

Madalena is assessing the impact of this price reduction on its business operations. However, one of the parties with whom the Company was in discussion regarding the sale of certain Madalena assets has now withdrawn from those discussions, citing this oil price reduction.
