TITAN ENERGY PREPARES TO DRILL BACK-TO-BACK PERTH BASIN EXPLORATION WELLS HIGHLIGHTS:

Government approval received for extension to DR11 permit

First of two exploration wells targeted to spud late January 2013

Wells to test two conventional targets

Reese #10 exploration well drilling ahead at Allen Dome

Australian oil and gas company Titan Energy Ltd (ASX: TTE) (Titan Energy or the Company) is pleased to report that on the 4th of January, 2013 it received notification from the Department of Mines and Petroleum that "a five month suspension of Year 3 and a corresponding extension of term for Drilling Reservation DR 11 has been approved".
Titan is now awaiting final Environmental approval before being granted a Drilling
Permit to drill two petroleum exploration commitment wells in DR11.
The Company has contracted a drilling rig suitable to drill the two wells, each to a total depth of approximately 1,500 metres (4,500 feet).
Once the Drilling Permit is received the first well to be drilled by Dominion Drilling's
UDR 1500 HD rig will be Warradarge-1. It is currently targeted to spud late January
2013 and to take approximately 16 days to reach TD.
Titan Energy is planning to collect formation cutting samples and utilise modern downhole data acquisition tools during the drilling programme to assist in fully assessing the conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon potential within this section of DR11.
Upon completion of drilling and testing at Warradarge-1, the rig will be moved 4,100 metres to the northeast to drill Warradarge-2, which has a similar drill programme.
The two wells are targeting the proven Cadda Formation and Cattamarra Coal measures of the Jurrasic sediments within DR11.

The Cattamarra Coal measures occur at shallow depth west of the Warradarge and Lesueur Faults to the west of DR11 and are approximately 300 metres (900 feet) thick in the Woodada gas field to the west of DR11.
"We are very pleased to be on track to drill our first wells into the DR11 permit, which has the potential to be a key asset for the Company," Titan Energy's Chairman, Darren Levy said.
"Recent drilling activity in nearby permits in this section of the onshore Perth Basin has shown that the Cadda Formation and Cattamarra Coal measures have considerable potential to hold significant gas reserves.
"We will be aiming to bring gas to the surface for sampling with the drilling of these two wells, and if successful we will then apply for a location permit over the area.
"We would particularly like to thank the WA Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) for their support and assistance in bringing activities in DR11 to this exciting stage."

ALLEN DOME TEXAS

After the start-up of drilling of Reese #10 was delayed by heavy rain, the exploration well was spudded on January 3.
Surface casing has been set at 750 feet and the well is currently drilling ahead to a
Total Depth (TD) of 5,200 feet.
Located on the Northern flank of Allen Dome, the pre-drill forecast was for Reese #10 to take approximately eight days to reach TD. The well is targeting five potential zones, each of which has been assessed to have the potential of producing 50 barrels of oil per day (bopd) or more.
Using the same rig Titan Energy is then planning to drill a second exploration well, on the Northern flank as a development well to the Reese #10 well or, targeting a proven oil producing sand at a depth of 1,400 feet.

The Company is negotiating with several rig operators for drilling the Southern flank where it will drill back-to-back wells targeting various zones. ABOUT TITAN ENERGY
