- PETROFLOW ENERGY LTD. (TSXV:PEF)(AMEX:PED) announces that it has a potential exposure to SemCrude, L.P. and SemGas, L.P., subsidiaries of SemGroup, L.P. ("SemGroup"), relating to the marketing of a portion of the Company's crude oil, liquids and natural gas production. SemGroup filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court

for the District of Delaware on July 22, 2008. The SemGroup contracts, which are held by the Company's working interest partner, pertain to the majority of the oil production volumes produced by Petroflow and approximately 20% of the natural gas volumes. The Company's current exposure is limited to amounts uncollected for June and July production up to July 22, 2008 amounting to approximately $US 3.2 million. As of this date, the Company is not able to quantify the portion, if any, of the exposure that will be collected, but in any case the amount is not considered material to Petroflow's operations and overall financial position. Ongoing production revenues will be governed by the terms of Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code and the Company expects to be paid under normal industry terms for production in this time frame. Petroflow is actively seeking alternative arrangements with other oil and gas purchasers as well as working with SemGroup in a plan that may see all debts paid on a timely basis. SemGroup listed assets of $US 6.14 billion and liabilities of $US 7.53 billion in its US bankruptcy filing.
