RICHFIELD OIL & GAS COMPANY ACQUIRES ADDITIONAL ACREAGE IN CENTRAL UTAH

SALT LAKE CITY, July 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Richfield Oil & Gas Company (OTCQX: ROIL) ("Richfield" or the "Company") has recently acquired approximately 4,800 net acres of oil & gas leaseholds in central Utah, further strengthening our exploratory land position in our high impact Overthrust and Independence projects. Since March 15, 2013, the Company has increased its net land position by 32% in the Central Utah Overthrust Project from 10,562 acres to 15,375 acres.

The Company owns an 89.5% working interest in the deeper Jurassic Navajo and Mississippian objectives and a 44.25% working interest in the shallow Cretaceous zones in approximately 11,500 net acres in the HUOP Freedom Trend Prospect along the Gunnison Thrust in central Utah. Extensive science, including gravity, multi-spectral satellite geochem and reprocessed and proprietary seismic has been used to identify several significant prospects within Richfield’s acreage. The work has been vetted by Utah Overthrust expert, Floyd Moulton, who has noted key similarities between Richfield’s HUOP Freedom Trend acreage and the highly prized Wolverine Gas & Oil/Occidental Petroleum’s Providence and Covenant fields, 35 miles and 55 miles, respectively, to the south along the same Gunnison Thrust.

Douglas C. Hewitt, Sr., Chief Executive Officer of Richfield, stated, "We are working diligently to enhance Richfield's valuable exploratory oil & gas leasehold position within the Central Utah Overthrust Belt. We are doing this in anticipation of increased activities and third party planned operations. We believe that these recent lease acquisitions will substantially enhance the Company's asset values and provide the critical acreage to attract joint venture industry partners to assist in the development of these world class prospects.”
