Acadian Energy (TSX VENTURE:ACX) announces results of an engineering - geologic evaluation of the New Albany Shale within the Illinois Basin of Illinois and Indiana. Fekete Associates Inc. located in Calgary, Canada undertook this evaluation. The established project objectives were as follows;

First, analyze gas production data from existing producing wells to obtain a reservoir description and generate a type-well production forecast.

Second, compare the type-well forecast against actual production histories to ensure the relative consistency between the type-well forecast and actual well performance.

Third, use the model to forecast oil and/or gas production and estimate:

-Original-Oil-in-Place (OOIP)

-Original-Gas-in-Place (OGIP)

-Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR)

-1,000 Barrels (Mbbl)

Fourth, perform sensitivity analyses to illustrate the relative importance of different well/reservoir/completion parameters on a 30-year cumulative oil production forecast.

Two well scenarios were modeled for a 160 acre drainage area with an OOIP of 2,470 Mbbl; a vertical well and a horizontal well with 5000 ft horizontal length. Sensitivity analyses were performed on the following reservoir parameters to determine their impact on the estimated ultimate oil recovery (EUR); porosity, water saturation, vertical and horizontal permeability and reservoir pressure.

Estimated oil recovery for vertical and horizontal wells in two different permeability reservoirs are summarized below:

Low permeability scenario - (0.0026 horizontal permeability; 0.0015 vertical permeability)


--  Frac Stimulated Vertical Well 7 Mbbl
    
--  Horizontal Well - no stimulation 20 Mbbl
    
--  Frac Stimulated Horizontal Well 70 Mbbl 

Higher permeability scenario - (0.034 horizontal permeability; 0.015 vertical permeability)


--  Frac Stimulated Vertical Well 35 Mbbl
    
--  Horizontal Well - no stimulation 125 Mbbl
    
--  Frac Stimulated Horizontal Well 200 Mbbl 

Low permeability reservoirs, drilled vertically and frac-stimulated calculated an EUR of 7 Mbbl. The low permeability horizontal multi-frac stimulated well produced an EUR of 70 Mbbl.

In comparison, higher permeable shale reservoirs with a vertical completion would produce an EUR of 35 Mbbl. A horizontal multi-frac well's estimated EUR was 200 Mbbl.

Geochemical data suggests that in an area of 640 acres, an OOIP of 9,880 Mbbl would be calculated. Thus 4 horizontal multi-frac stimulated wells could recover 800 Mbbl and a minor amount of natural gas. The results compare favorably with other North American oil resource plays.

Acadian is currently in the process of interviewing joint-venture partners and investors.
