Mr Yeo has significant expertise in the oil and gas sector and currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of AIM-quoted Baron Oil PLC. In addition to this, he has held a variety of roles in private equity and has operational and financial experience in exploration and production activities whilst serving as CFO of Wessex Exploration PLC. He brings 20 years' experience in multi-discipline corporate advisory services, having worked for UBS and ABN AMRO Hoare Govett before becoming a founder member of Evolution Securities, where he was a board member and Executive Director. He holds a BA (Hons) in Economics from the University of Essex.

Proposed Issue of Warrants

Mr Yeo will receive 1,500,000 warrants to subscribe for the Company's ordinary shares of 0.85 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), exercisable at a price of 10 pence per Ordinary Share.

A further announcement will be made in relation to these warrants at the appropriate time.

Rob Jones, Non-Executive Director of Oneiro Energy, commented:

"We are delighted to welcome Andy to the board of Oneiro. In the last few years, he has created significant shareholder value at Baron Oil as he has taken the Chuditch discovery up the value curve ahead of a future appraisal well. We look forward to working with him as we evaluate a number of highly exciting opportunities."

Andy Yeo, Non-Executive Chairman of Oneiro Energy, commented:

"It is a great opportunity to join Oneiro Energy at the early stages of their journey in the public markets. They have a very strong technical team, supportive shareholders and as such should find themselves well positioned for a transaction."
