Fairway Operations Update Corporate information

? Strong Oil flow at Sydney #2

? Wagga Wagga #1 well completion to follow Sydney #2

US focused oil and gas producer Target Energy Limited ("Target") is pleased to provide an operations update on its Fairway Project.

Sydney #2

Preliminary flow testing of the Fusselman section in Sydney #2 has yielded an oil flow rate of 75 BO in 19.5 hrs (equivalent to 92 BOPD). The oil was accompanied by a large amount of water (approx. 800 BW), which appears to be flowing from vertically extensive fractures. The well has been shut in following a polymer gel treatment to minimise the water flow, with flow testing set to resume on 25 January.

Wagga Wagga #1

Completion procedures at Wagga Wagga #1 will commence after the Sydney #2 program. Initial testing will be on the deeper Ellenburger and Fusselman/Devonian sections.
Target Managing Director Laurence Roe noted, "The testing at Sydney #2 has confirmed the presence of oil and of good reservoir conditions - both of which we expected. Before we bring the well into full production however, we will deal with that associated water. The polymer treatment should block off a good deal of the water flow and thus allow us to increase the relative volume of oil. The well is shut in now to allow the gel to set and we will resume testing at the end of the week.
"We will go straight to the completion of Wagga Wagga #1 after Sydney #2". ENDS
