VANCOUVER, Sept. 7 /CNW/ - Grove Energy Limited ("Company") (TSX-V & AIM:
GRV) the oil and gas exploration Company with primary assets in Europe and the
Mediterranean Margin, is pleased to advise that it has been awarded six blocks
in the recent UK Offshore 23rd Licence Round in the Southern and Central North
Sea. These new blocks supplement the Company's current position in the
Southern North Sea (Block 42/13) and give the Company exposure to the
productive Central North Sea.
All blocks have been awarded on a promote basis with reduced licence fees
for the first two years. Work commitments in general involve the purchase of
existing seismic data and geological and geophysical studies to firm up the
currently identified prospects and leads. Grove's estimated share of expenses
is C$250,000.
In the Central North Sea, Grove's interest is in Blocks 21/22 and 21/28b
which are adjacent to the Fyne and Dandy discoveries which contain an
estimated 28 million barrels. Grove has a 30% interest in these blocks, and
Sterling Resources (U.K) Limited is the Operator with 50%.
In the Southern North Sea, Blocks 42/ 8, 9, 12, & 14 surround the large
gas prospect tested on Grove's neighbouring 42/13 block where Grove and
Sterling Resources (U.K) Limited are currently in a pre-drilling planning
stage for an appraisal well. Grove has a 25% interest in the Southern North
Sea blocks, and Sterling Resources (U.K) Limited holds the balance and is
Operator.

Grove is committed to building a diversified exploration, appraisal and
development portfolio of oil and gas assets in Europe and the Mediterranean
Margin. Grove's principal business strategy is to generate a sustainable cash
flow as quickly as possible. Grove's assets are in proven hydrocarbon
provinces, close to existing discoveries and infrastructure, in regions that
are net importers of hydrocarbons with high domestic hydrocarbon prices and in
countries with stable legal and political environments.
