RedWater Completes Battery Construction/Adds Light Oil Production

RedWater Energy Corp. ("RedWater" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:RED) is
pleased to provide an operational update on its operational activity in its core
properties. RedWater total production at July 31, 2012 increased to 132 boepd
(83% oil/17% natural gas). The Corporation has approximately 1,200 mcf/d of
tested natural gas production shut-in due to low commodity prices.


Activity

REDWATER:

At Redwater, the Corporation completed battery construction and re-activated two
(2) Mannville light oil wells (32 degrees API). The wells began producing in
late June and are currently producing at a restricted rate of 42 boepd (78%
oil/22% natural gas). RedWater was successful in acquiring farm-in rights on
1,240 acres of development lands directly offsetting these wells and two surface
leases have been negotiated for adjacent development drilling locations on two
(2) identified light oil pools. 


In the Redwater area, the Corporation has identified several additional oil
pools, prospective for Mannville and Viking light oil, with a total of 15
initial drill locations on 16,000+ acres of primarily 100% W.I. land. The
Company plans to test a shut-in natural gas well as a potential oil producer in
September. The well previously tested at rates in excess of 1,000 mcf/d of
natural gas. The Corporation also has several planned work-overs, well tests and
fracture-stimulations on existing wells over the coming months. 


LONG COULEE:

RedWater has entered into a farm-out agreement with an industry partner to
re-enter two (2) light oil wells on the Corporation's 6,480 net acres in the
area. Work is scheduled for September 2012.


PANNY:

RedWater is acquiring additional seismic to develop its land holdings in Panny.
The Corporation has identified two (2) initial drilling locations and a well
re-entry targeting Keg River light oil. Currently light oil production at Panny
is 22 bopd.


WESTLOCK:

RedWater is planning a fracture-stimulation program to enhance production on the
Wabamun medium density oil pool. The current pool produces 22 bopd of clean oil
from 3 existing wells. Redwater has 3,520 acres of 100% W.I. land in the area.


FAIRYDELL/BON-ACCORD AND LEGAL:

Horizontal drilling at Fairydell/Bon-Accord and vertical drilling at Legal is
planned to develop two (2) Leduc and Viking oil pools. Current Leduc production
is 18 bopd.


Non-Brokered Financing

On August 15, 2012, RedWater announced it had closed a private placement with a
group of accredited investors. RedWater issued 2,200,000 common shares, issued
on "flow-through" basis, at a price of $0.25 per share for aggregate gross
proceeds of $550,000. Total shares outstanding post financing were 34,840,152.


Credit Facility

Based on the Corporation's success at Redwater, the funds available under its
Credit facility was increased to $2.9 million from $2.5 million. The total
credit facility is approved up to $5.5 million with incremental increases
available upon tie-in of tested production and projected drilling results. 


Outlook

The Corporation is currently evaluating numerous acquisition and exploration
opportunities with a preference for shallow to medium depth light oil plays. The
Corporation shut-in approximately 200 mcf/d of natural gas in the first quarter
and an additional natural gas well, which tested 1,000 mcf/d has not been
tied-in, due to lower commodity prices. Management continues to monitor the
economics of each well to determine whether or not to re-activate and tie-in the
wells.

equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does
not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
