Anterra Energy Announces Q2-2013 Financial Results

Anterra Energy Inc. ("Anterra" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:AE.A)(OTCQX:ATERF)
is pleased to announce financial and operating results for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2013. Selected information is outlined below and should be
read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited consolidated financial
statements and related management discussion and analysis available on SEDAR at
www.sedar.com or the Company's website at www.anterraenergy.com.


Highlights

Overall operational and financial results for the second quarter of 2013 were
significantly impacted by the acquisition of Terrex Energy Inc. ("Terrex") which
closed on March 14, 2013. Sales volumes and oil and gas revenue for the second
quarter of 2013 increased 71% and 82% respectively over the second quarter of
2012. Q2 2013 oil and gas revenue totaled $2.5 million on average daily sales
volumes of 427 boe/d as compared to oil and gas revenue of $1.4 million on
average sales volumes of 250 boe/d in Q2 2013. Total revenue for the second
quarter, including midstream revenue, was $3.1 million as compared to $2.0
million in the second quarter of 2012. Revenue for the six months ended June 30,
2013, totaled $5.7 million as compared to $3.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2012. 


Higher than normal general and administrative and operating expenses were
primarily responsible for a loss of $1.2 million reported for the second
quarter. Significant, largely one-time costs associated with financing and
acquisition activities, including regulatory reporting requirements contributed
to high general and administrative expenses, and an extensive workover and well
reactivation program added to operating costs. The loss of $0.2 million reported
for the six months ended June 30, 2013, reflects the gain of $1.2 million
recognized on the Terrex acquisition resulting from the estimated fair value of
the net assets acquired being in excess of the consideration paid. The gain was
recognized in the first quarter of 2013.


At June 30, 2013, the Company had drawn $6.3 million of its approved $20 million
credit facilities.


"Activities during the first half of 2013 have resulted in Anterra being well
positioned to realize on opportunities currently available in the Canadian oil
and gas market," commented Dr. Fang, Anterra's CEO. "Our ability to access
capital, combined with the availability of accretive acquisitions will permit us
to continue to build our asset base, increase production, and add to our
inventory of development opportunities."

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the

there can be no assurances that the assumptions, plans, initiatives or

achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Such factors
include, among others: general economic and business conditions; the price of
and demand for oil and natural gas and their effect on the economics of oil and
gas exploration; fluctuations in currency and interest rates and their effect on
projected profitability of the Company's operations; the ability of the Company

Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed could also have material adverse

by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements

BOE Conversion

Certain natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil equivalent
("boe") using six thousand cubic feet ("mcf") of gas equal to one barrel ("bbl")
of oil unless otherwise stated. This conversion ratio is based on an energy
equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does
not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Such disclosure of boes may
be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
