               HINTO ENERGY, INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

DENVER, CO, NOVEMBER 12, 2014, HINTO ENERGY,  INC. (OTCQB:  HENI) engaged in the
exploration,  acquisition,  and  development  of oil  and gas  properties,  with
current  properties  in  Utah  and  Montana,  today  announced  its  results  of
operations  for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 2014. The Company
generated  oil sales of $159,167  during the third  quarter of 2014 and $350,506
for the first nine months of 2014 which is a 718% increase  over the  comparable
period in 2013.  Increasing oil production  from the Mason Lakes,  Montana field
accounted for the increase in oil production and revenues.

"Third Quarter of 2014 has been a quarter of firsts for the Company. We realized
not only revenue growth,  but also have seen consistent  production results from
our enhanced  recovery  efforts," George Harris,  Chief Executive Officer of the
Company stated. "Management will continue to focus its efforts on increasing oil
production  from our  existing  properties  in both Utah and Montana and through
strategic property  acquisitions,  which we're currently  pursuing.  With record
production  in October  of 2014,  announced  last  week,  we believe we will see
continued growth in oil and natural gas production going forward."

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company announced its acquisition of 8 oil
wells in the  Ragged  Point  Oil Field in  Musselshell  County,  Montana  and in
October of 2014, and announced its acquisition on a 75%  non-operating  interest
in an exploratory  well in Medina,  Ohio. These are continuing steps in our plan
to achieve production and revenue growth.

Hinto Energy, Inc. is involved in the acquisition,  production,  development and
exploration of Oil and Natural Gas properties in the Rocky Mountain Basins.  The
Company is actively seeking to acquire  producing oil and natural gas properties
that offer long term  production  opportunities  and proven oil and  natural gas
reserves.  The  Company  employs   state-of-the-art   technology  for  reservoir
characterization,  to discover by-passed reserves,  and to evaluate  unexploited
resources utilizing modern horizontal drilling techniques.  For more information
