Highlights of operations for the year to date include:



--  Current production of 675 boe per day (includes approximately 200
    barrels per day of oil and natural gas liquids); 
--  In November 2011, Twoco completed the drilling of 1 gross (0.97 net)
    quad-leg horizontal oil well on the Company's Sparky heavy oil property.
    It is anticipated that this well will commence production prior to year
    end; 
--  Twoco estimates current shut-in and behind pipe production capability of
    175 boe per day. This estimate does not include the potential production
    from the 1gross (0.97 net) quad-leg horizontal oil well currently being
    completed and equipped for production; 
--  In July 2011, Twoco completed the drilling and completion of 2 gross
    (1.93 net) tri-leg horizontal oil wells on the Company's Sparky heavy
    oil property. These wells commenced production in late August 2011; 
--  On May 5, 2011, Twoco received approval from the Energy Resources
    Conservation Board ("ERCB") which amended the drilling spacing on the
    Company's Sparky heavy oil property to allow for the drilling of up to 8
    horizontal lateral legs per pool per quarter section. As a result of the
    ERCB's approval, Twoco has identified drilling locations for an
    additional 116 horizontal laterals on the Company's lands; and 
--  In April 2011, Twoco acquired the mineral rights to an additional 640
    gross acres (618 net) on the Company's Sparky heavy oil property in the
    Warspite area of Alberta.



Highlights of the Third Quarter 2011 include:



--  Average production of 613 boe per day (includes 105 barrels per day of
    oil and natural gas liquids) - a 9% decrease from the Third Quarter 2010
    - a result of shut-in volumes due to low natural gas prices, a lack of
    natural gas drilling activity and natural production declines of the
    Company's natural gas properties. In the Third Quarter 2010, Twoco had
    no oil and natural gas liquids production; 
--  Petroleum and natural gas sales revenue of $1,434,310 - a 24% increase
    from the Third Quarter 2010 - due to the 4 horizontal oil wells drilled
    on the Company's Sparky heavy oil property in the Warspite area of
    Alberta; 
--  Cash flow from operations of $248,796 versus cash flow used by
    operations of $23,961 in the Third Quarter 2010;  
--  Operating netback of $688,426 ($12.21 per boe); 
--  Net loss of $626,290 ($0.01 per share); 
--  Capital expenditures of $1,678,983; 
--  Current land position of 109,544 gross (79,670 net) acres; 
--  Operating costs of $12.28 per boe; 
--  General and administrative expenses of $2.41 per boe; 
--  In July 2011, Twoco completed the drilling and completion of two (1.93
    net) tri-leg horizontal oil wells on the Company's Sparky heavy oil
    property in the Warspite area of Alberta. These wells commenced
    production in late August 2011; and 
--  On October 3, 2011, the Company announced the issuance of 375,871 common
    shares in payment of interest accrued to September 30, 2011 on its $3.4
    million principal amount of redeemable, convertible, unsecured 8%
    debentures.



The Company has determined to strategically diversify its commodity mix by
targeting development of its Sparky heavy oil property in the Warspite area of
Alberta. Due to continuing depressed prices for natural gas and limited
availability of capital, the Company will spend an estimated $5.8 million of its
previously announced $11.8 million 2011 capital budget. The $11.8 million
capital budget included the drilling of 10 gross (9.72 net) horizontal oil wells
on the Company's Sparky heavy oil property in the Warspite area and, subject to
favourable natural gas prices, up to 6 gross (5.79 net) additional vertical
natural gas wells in the Company's Warspite, Colinton, Sunland and Plain
operating areas of Alberta. After its 2011 capital budget was adopted, it was
determined to allocate all available capital towards the development of the
Company's Sparky heavy oil property in the Warspite area of Alberta using
multi-leg horizontal oil wells. To date in 2011, the Company has drilled 2 gross
(1.93 net) tri-leg horizontal oil wells and 1 gross (0.97 net) quad-leg
horizontal oil well on this property. 


Twoco is an oil and gas company engaged in the exploration for, and the
acquisition, development and production of, oil and natural gas reserves
primarily in the Province of Alberta. Twoco has 71,728,095 common shares issued
and outstanding as at today's date. 


In this news release the calculation of barrels of oil equivalent (boe) is
calculated at a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas
for one barrel (Bbl) of oil based on an energy equivalency conversion method.
Boes may be misleading particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio
of 6 Mcf: 1Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily
applicable to the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the
wellhead.
