Oil Recovery Projects to Begin near Baku

VANCOUVER, British Columbia & BAKU, Azerbaijan -- CenGroup Petroleum Corporation (PINK SHEETS:CPCO) announced today that it has received authorization to recover oil from several sites in and around the Azeri capital city of Baku. This came about after the recent environmental clean-up declarations announced by Azeri President, Ilhan Aliyev. CenGroup has pre-fabricated extraction and transportation equipment in anticipation of the President's announcement. Now, with a container of sorbent in transit from the USA, the Company is gearing up operations. EnviroMop[TM] will continue shipping sorbent from the USA until the Baku manufacturing plant is operational.
