TG World Provides Update on International Drilling Activities

31.01.2011  |  Marketwired
CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire - Jan. 31, 2011) - 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 Ténéré Limited), are progressing towards a May 2011 spud date for the drilling of the Facai-1 exploration well in the prospective Ténéré 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.
