ONL Online Energy

Online Energy Inc. ("Online" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ONL) is pleased to
provide an update on the completion and testing of its Paddle River 1-5-55-7W5M
Ostracod horizontal oil well. 


The 1-5 well is the second Online 100% W.I. horizontal well on its Paddle River
Ostracod oil project. It was drilled in March and reached a total depth of 3,089
metres, including a 1,254 metre horizontal trajectory. Completion operations,
including a 14-stage multi-frac program, were recently completed. A total of
4,250 barrels of load fluid was pumped during the completion process. The well
was subsequently production tested for a total of seven days. The well was
swabbed-in for the first four days and was flowing for the final three days.
During the seven day period, a total of 3,300 (78%) barrels of the water based
load fluid was recovered. During the final three days of the test the well
flowed I oil and associated solution gas at an average rate of 438 boe/d (73%
oil). During the final 24 hours the well flowed at an average rate of 417 boe/d
(70% oil).


The well is currently shut-in. Operations to equip the well and tie-in the
solution gas to existing Online facilities will commence as soon as ground
conditions permit. The Company anticipates the well will commence production by
September 1, 2012 at an initial rate of approximately 400 boe/d (80% oil and
Ngls).


While the Company is very encouraged by the initial results from the 1-5 well,
it cautions that these results may not be indicative of its long-term
performance. Ongoing technical work continues to improve the Company's
understanding of its Paddle River Ostracod oil play and the ultimate potential
of the project.


Online controls approximately 43 net sections of prospective lands on the
Ostracod oil trend in the Paddle River area.


Outlook

While there currently is not an established decline curve for the Ostracod
horizontal oil project due to the lack of data, the Company has budgeted that
the 1-5 well will decline approximately 50% from its initial rate by December
31, 2012. Based on this estimate, the Company provides the following production
guidance for the remainder of 2012:




                                             Total Boe/d        Oil & Ngls %

The Company estimates its working capital deficiency will be approximately $3.3
million as of September 30, 2012. This includes all costs to drill, complete,
equip and tie-in the 1-5 well. Completion costs for this well were higher than
anticipated as a result of additional costs incurred to overcome wellbore
integrity issues that were encountered. The Company has a credit facility
consisting of a revolving operating demand loan to a maximum of $4,750,000 and
an additional acquisition or development demand loan to a maximum of $1,250,000.


The Company has successfully assembled an extensive land position of 140 net
sections in the Greater Paddle River area of west-central Alberta. This
concentrated acreage position supports a large inventory of horizontal
multi-frac well locations on a variety of resource plays including the
Notikewin, Wilrich, Ostracod, Rock Creek, Nordegg and Duvernay formations.
Online also maintains a growing inventory of low-risk vertical oil locations
targeting the Viking and Nordegg formations as well as a number of low- cost
re-entry opportunities.

Natural gas reserves and volumes are converted to barrels of oil equivalent
(Boe) on the basis of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of gas to one barrel (Bbl)
of oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe
conversion ratio of 6 Mcf to 1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion
method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead.
