EXHIBIT 99.1

Pacific Energy Development Announces Production Rate from Third Loomis Well

Three New Loomis Wells Quintuple Net Production Rate of Company

January 15, 2015 – PEDEVCO Corp. d/b/a Pacific Energy Development (NYSE MKT: PED) (the “Company”), announced today that its Loomis 2-3H horizontal well recently completed in Weld County, Colorado has tested at an initial production rate of 540 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and 248 thousand cubic feet of gas (mcfgd) (581 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd)), from the Niobrara “B” Bench target zone.  The Loomis 2-3H well is the third of three new horizontal wells recently completed by the Company from a single pad.  The Company has an approximately 49.7% net working interest in this well, which came in under budget (below $4 million), reaching a total measured depth of 11,345 feet, with a 6,321 foot total vertical depth and 4,614 foot lateral length, and with 18 frac stages through the Niobrara “B” Bench target zone. On January 13th and 14th the Company announced that its first and second reported wells (the Loomis 2-6H and Loomis 2-1H) had initial production rates of 590 boepd and 681 boepd, respectively.

Commenting on these results, Mr. Frank C. Ingriselli, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated:  “We are very pleased with the initial production rates from our three new Loomis wells. When we provided our shareholders with an operational update in early November, we indicated that our goal was to double the Company’s net production from these new wells. We have now announced that we have significantly exceeded that expectation with a 5x increase in net production based on these new wells’ initial production rates. These wells not only validate our improved completion techniques, but also our ability to deliver on lower drilling and completion costs than budgeted. Together, these results confirm what we believe to be the significant value and potential of our acreage in the D-J Basin, a shale play that many independent experts view as having among the best rates of return in the current low oil price environment.”
