NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Gibson Energy Inc. ("Gibson" or the "Company") (TSX:GEI) announced today the closing of its Senior Unsecured Notes offering consisting of CDN$300 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due July 15, 2022 (the "Cdn tranche") and US$50 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due July 15, 2021 (the "US tranche") (collectively, the "Notes"). Gibson intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay all outstanding indebtedness under its existing revolving credit facility (excluding letters of credit), with the remaining net proceeds to be used to fund planned capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.

"Today's closing of our senior unsecured notes offering, along with increased availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, provide us with ample liquidity to fund our previously announced capital expenditure plans for 2014 and 2015, totaling $660 million, along with our recently announced acquisitions. We continue to execute our numerous planned growth projects. Furthermore, the new Notes lower Gibson's overall cost of capital and enhance our financial flexibility to continue developing new growth opportunities in each of our integrated business segments," said Donald Fowlis, Gibson's Chief Financial Officer.

The offer and sale of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or applicable state laws, and the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes have not been and will not be qualified for sale to the public under applicable Canadian securities laws and, accordingly, any offer and sale of the Notes in Canada will be made on a basis exempt from the prospectus requirements of such securities laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or purchase, or a solicitation of an offer to sell or purchase, the Notes. No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would be unlawful.
