Pangea Petroleum Acquires Working Interests in Oil and Gas Leases


HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE) - January 11, 2006--Pangea Petroleum Corp.
(OTCBB:PAPO), announced today it has entered into an acquisition agreement under
which Pangea will acquire a 1.5% working interest in oil and gas leases located
in Fort Bend County, Texas and a 2.5% working interest in oil and gas leases in
Steuben County, New York. The acquisition agreement also includes provisions to
facilitate Pangea's acquisition of additional drilling and production interests
over the next two years. Pursuant to this provision, Pangea has acquired a 2.25%
working interest in a project in White County, Illinois. Complete details on the
acquisition agreement are provided in Pangea's Form 8-K filed today with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Fort Bend County interest is a 421 acre project currently producing
approximately 6500 barrels of oil per month from 15 wells in the Miocene and
Frio sands. Current plans call for the drilling of 4 additional wells in the
next six months.

The New York interest covers approximately 50,000 acres in Steuben County, New
York. The project is currently shooting 22 square miles of 3-D seismic. Thus far
there are two well defined drilling prospects in the Trenton Black River, and
two leads identified in the Oriskany and Onandaga Reef sands. Additional seismic
work is planned for 2006 and it is anticipated that drilling on the first well
will commence in the 2nd quarter.

The White County, Illinois project encompasses approximately 880 acres. The
primary target is the Warsaw Sand at 4200', with several secondary objectives
present up to 3200'. The first well is anticipated to be drilled the 1st quarter
of 2006, and will be drilled beyond the Warsaw, to approximately 8500', to test
a geologic feature in the Trenton Black River, which appears to be similar to
the seismic features found in the successful producing areas in New York and
Michigan.

All three prospects are considered low risk in the primary target, and have
excellent upside potential relative to the project costs, which fits well with
Pangea's philosophy of asset and cash flow building with lower risk projects.
Funding for the current project work is provided by Pangea's available working
capital.

"This is a good example of our strategy of developing prospects in conjunction
with industry partners and investors. This method of operation allows Pangea to
broaden its domestic exposure and acquire a position in three projects that have
completed most or all of the initial investigative work," said Mark Weller,
President of Pangea.

Pangea Petroleum Corporation (www.pangeapetroleum.com) is a Texas-based
independent diversified crude oil and natural gas exploration and production
company. Pangea's primary focus is to explore for, produce and sell oil and
natural gas by establishing production reserves through exploration and
acquisitions. Pangea's niche or specialty is the small or moderate operations
that do not fit the strategy of the larger oil and gas producers, but are none
the less contributors to the US energy supply.
