    Andalas Energy and Power Plc

    ('Andalas' or the 'Company')

    Appointment of Non-Executive Director

    Andalas Energy and Power Plc, the AIM listed Indonesian focused upstream oil
    and gas and power company (AIM: ADL), is pleased to announce the appointment of
    Dr Robert Arnott as Non-Executive Director with immediate effect.  Dr Arnott is
    a pre-eminent figure in the international oil and gas industry and the Board is
    confident that he will be highly instrumental as the Company advances its
    strategy to become a leading Indonesian focused energy company.

    Dr Arnott has over 30 years' experience in the oil and gas industry, during
    which he has successfully executed a number of high profile transactions and
    sourced funding for several major development projects.  Starting his career
    with Shell International, Dr Arnott subsequently moved into investment banking,
    working at both Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Goldman Sachs International,
    where he established an extensive network of investment contacts.  Moving back
    into the upstream industry he has distinguished himself as an active board
    member with high level involvement in the growth and success of numerous public
    and private energy related ventures.

    As a Board member of Spring Energy AS, Dr Arnott rapidly grew the Norwegian
    Continental Shelf focused upstream oil and gas company ahead of its eventual
    sale to Tullow Oil in January 2013.  He was since a director of Core Energy AS,
    an oil and gas company focused on the producing fields of the Norwegian
    Continental Shelf.  During his career he has also held the role of Chairman at
    each of Petroceltic International plc, Global Petroleum Limited and Oyster
    Petroleum Limited and a non-executive directorship at Rocksource ASA.  Dr
    Arnott is currently non-executive chairman of Hurricane Energy plc (AIM:HUR),
    the UK based oil and gas company.

    Andalas Non-Executive Chairman, Paul Warwick, said: "Rob brings with him an
    unrivalled combination of industry knowledge and commercial expertise in the
    oil and gas industry and throughout his career he has demonstrated his ability
    to execute attractive value accretive transactions.  I believe his appointment
    to the Board and support of our strategy is a clear signal to the market that
    Andalas is an emerging energy company with significant potential to make a
    material contribution to Indonesia's energy industry, where new power sources
    are critically needed to keep up with current demand let alone future growth. 
    His appointment follows our recent partnership agreement with Indonesia's state
    oil company, PT Pertamina (Persero), and adds further gravitas to our already
    highly experienced and qualified board, as we look to commercialise our
    gas-to-power business concept and capitalise on the highly compelling
    opportunites inherent in the Indonesian energy market for the benefit of both
    the country and our shareholders."

    Commenting on his appointment, Rob Arnott said: "The gas and power supply/
    demand fundamentals in Indonesia are clearly evident - with a serious power
    crisis affecting many regions, and the economic development of the entire
    country, there is certainly an important opportunity for a company with the
    relevant technological expertise and in-depth knowledge of the country such as
    Andalas.  I am joining a Board which already boasts significant industry and
    in-country experience, and I am excited at the prospect of using my expertise
    and contact base to further Andalas' ambitions to realise the Board's vision of
    delievering on its gas-to-power concept.  Within the current remit of our
    partnership with Pertamina, which provides Andalas with unique access and depth
    of opportunity to small gas fields in our target areas, I believe we are in an
    excellent position to rapidly commercialise assets and generate real returns
    for our shareholders."
