Exhibit 99.1

Triangle Petroleum PROVIDES Fiscal year 2016 Capital Budget and guidance for all business segments

DENVER – February5, 2015 – Triangle Petroleum Corporation (“Triangle” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT:TPLM) today providesits capital budget outlook and guidance forits E&P segment (“E&P”), RockPile Energy Services (“RockPile”) and an update on Caliber Midstream (“Caliber”) forfiscal year 2016, ending January 31, 2016.

Fiscal Year 2016 Capital Budget Outlook

· Triangle's fiscal year 2016 capital expenditure budget totals approximately $165-195 million:

Capital Expenses	FY2016E
E&P Operated Drilling Program		$150-165
E&P Non-Op Drilling Program		$0-10
RockPile		$15-20
Total		$165-195
*Dollars in U.S. millions

· FY2016 budget represents a 71% year-over-year reduction

· Focused on 1) protecting the balance sheet, 2)maintaining adequate liquidity, 3) return on capital and 4) positioning the Company for earnings and production growth post-recovery

· Development plan contemplates 2 operated rigs on average for the year

· Triangle currently delaying all operated well completions until May or longer, subject to commodity prices and gaps in the RockPile third-party completion schedule

· The Company anticipates having 20-24 wells waiting on completion as of May 1, 2015

· Triangle is actively working with vendors and service providers to reduce drilling and completion costs, targeting a 10-20% reduction in E&P gross AFE costs

· Plan allows Triangle to preserve near-term liquidity and avoids well IPs in a low commodity price environment to the detriment of return on capital

· Allows Triangle to respond quickly to any improvement in commodity pricing and to return daily production numbers to at or above December 31, 2014 exit rate numbers

· Provides RockPile with significant backlog of work in Q2 and Q3 when there is less visibility into third-party activity levels; Triangle expects capital costs to drop in 8-12 weeks when targeted AFE costs materialize

Fiscal Year 2016Production Guidance

	FY2016E			% Midpoint Change
E&P Production (Boepd)	11,000	-	13,000	+12%
E&P Production (Mmboe)	4.0	-	4.7	+12%
*Guidance metric changes calculated from FY’15 guidance midpoint

Caliber Update

· Received $34mm in new equity capital from First Reserve Energy Infrastructure Fund (FREIF) on February  2, 2015; Additional liquidity from equity contribution will be used to fund newly executed third-party agreements and for general corporate purposes

· As part of the equity contribution, Triangle received 3.6mm new warrants and FREIF received 2.7mm new Class A Units and 0.9mm new warrants

· Following the equity contribution from FREIF and the issuance of new Class A units, Triangle now owns 28.3% of Caliber

· No dilution to the future pro-forma capital structure (assuming all outstanding warrants are exercised), thus Triangle can still own up to 50% of Caliber
