TG World Provides Update on International Drilling Activities

31/01/2011 1:00pm

Marketwired Canada


TG World Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TGE) ("TG World" or the "Company") is pleased
to provide the following update on its activities in Alaska, Niger and the
Philippines.




--  Drilling of the North Tarn oil prospect in Alaska to commence in early
    March 2011 
--  Drilling of the Facai-1 oil prospect in Niger, Africa to commence May
    2011 



In Alaska, the joint venture partners are progressing towards an early March
2011 spud date for the prospective North Tarn exploration well under the
guidance of operator, Brooks Range Petroleum Corporation ("BRPC"). BRPC has
secured a Nabors drilling rig that will be mobilized from Deadhorse, Alaska, to
the North Slope drilling location. Work will begin soon on the construction of
an ice road, with mobilization activities commencing in the last week of
February. The current schedule forecasts a nine day rig mobilization period to
site, followed by approximately nine days of drilling to reach the primary
reservoir objective in the Brookian sands. The well is designed to test an
exploration prospect mapped on 3-D seismic data that has two prospective
reservoir zones, both of which are productive in the adjacent Kuparuk Field
Unit. Total drilling depth is estimated at approximately 6,300 feet. The well is
being funded by the Alaska joint venture partners as a farm-in on ENI Petroleum
lands. TG Alaska will pay 35% of the well costs to earn 20% of the working
interest in the North Tarn prospect area. 


In Niger, TG World and its operator partner, China National Petroleum
Corporation ("CNPC") (CNPC International Tenere Limited), are progressing
towards a May 2011 spud date for the drilling of the Facai-1 exploration well in
the prospective Tenere Basin. Well site construction is underway and the
drilling rig is undergoing refurbishment before mobilization to the site. The
well will test a faulted anticline mapped from proprietary 2-D seismic data. The
primary reservoir objective is the Cretaceous-age Donga sandstones. It will take
an estimated 70 days to drill to the proposed 12,000 foot depth. TG World has a
20% working interest in the licence. The well is being drilled at no cost to TG
World as this is the last well in a three well exploration carry agreement
funded by CNPC.


Additional details regarding the prospects to be drilled in Alaska and Niger are
available on the TG World website at www.tgworldenergy.com. 


In the Philippines, the partners in Service Contract 54A ("SC 54A"), led by
operator Nido Petroleum Limited, expect to complete the previously announced
de-mobilization plan from the Tindalo well site by the end of February 2011.
This work includes the sale of approximately 75,000 barrels of crude oil
produced from the Tindalo. TG World holds a 12.5% interest in SC 54A. The
partners are in the process of analyzing operations over the past year, with the
intention of developing a new plan for returning to the SC 54A fairway. 


As previously announced, TG World Energy Corp. and TVI Pacific Inc. have entered
into a Plan of Arrangement whereby holders of TG World Energy Corp. shares will
receive 0.458 of a common share of TVI Pacific Inc. for each TG World Energy
Corp. share held. The Plan of Arrangement is subject to approval of TG World
Energy Corp. shareholders at a meeting to be held in early March 2011.

statements and, in some cases, information supplied by third parties. Although
the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking

political or civil unrest, availability of financial resources or third-party
