FEN Forent Energy Ltd.

Forent Energy Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:FEN) ("Forent" or the "Company") is announcing
the following corporate operational updates.


The farm-out agreement with BlackShale Resources Inc. ("BlackShale") that was
announced on August 30, 2012 is moving forward with BlackShale expected to
commence drilling of the first well in November. This vertical well will be
drilled to the base of the Mannville Formation in order to evaluate all
geological zones encountered. In addition to a full suite of well logs,
BlackShale intends to take extensive core samples, specifically over the Second
White Speck Formation ("2WS"). All technical data will be thoroughly evaluated
over several months in order to determine the best completion methodology for
the 2WS horizontal well that is expected to be drilled in 2013. Forent will also
utilize the well data in order to further evaluate its 23 section, proprietary
3D seismic dataset. BlackShale is a private company that specializes in
identifying and exploiting unconventional oil and gas opportunities in Canada.


In mid-September a neighboring operating company initiated a well re-entry
program on lands adjacent to Forent's Mervin oil field and salt water disposal
well located in section 34-50-21W3. During the re-entry operations on the first
well in this program, a deeper formation was inadvertently penetrated containing
quantities of water with hydrogen sulfide ("H2S"). This H2S contaminated water
flowed uncontrolled for a number of days into the Waseca formation, from which
Forent was previously producing sweet oil, resulting in the Waseca formation
becoming contaminated. As a result of H2S in the produced water, Forent shut in
the Mervin field on September 22nd as a safety precaution. Upon taking
appropriate operating measures to remove the H2S from the produced water,
oilfield operations were restarted on October 4th.


At the present time the Company is seeing several positive indications such as
the return of casing gas, reduced fluid in the six well bores and a modest
return in oil production. During the second and third quarters of this year
Mervin's oil production averaged more than 150 bbl/day. The Company's cash flow
is expected to be materially impacted in the third and fourth quarters of 2012,
until normalized production resumes. Forent is in discussions with the
offsetting company in order to restore full production as quickly as possible,
address ongoing operational matters and consider appropriate compensation for
the impairment of the Company's Mervin field. 


The Company is assessing the next steps in its Alton, Nova Scotia exploration
program. The results from the two wells drilled earlier this year have been
incorporated into Forent's geological model and based on this assessment, the
Company believes that at least another 10 - 12 additional reef prospects exist
in the area.
