ADVENT ENERGY – EP386 PRODUCTION TESTING

MEC Resources Limited (ASX:MMR) investee company Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”) is pleased to advise that mobilisation of equipment and personnel has commenced for its continued production testing of Waggon Creek-1 in Exploration Permit 386 (“EP386”) in the onshore Bonaparte Basin, northern Western Australia.

Advent’s 100% interests in EP386 and Retention Licence 1 are held by wholly owned subsidiary Onshore Energy Pty Ltd. Advent’s major shareholders remain MEC Resources (ASX: MMR), BPH Energy (ASX: BPH), Talbot Group and Grandbridge (ASX: GBA).

During Advent’s 2011 field operations, the completion and flow test program of Waggon Creek-1 was prematurely suspended due to the northern wet season. The well was completed with perforations over intervals 384.1-390.1m and 393.1-395.1m in the Milligans Formation sandstone reservoirs. During the short flow test achieved in 2011 from Waggon Creek-1, the well flowed gas at a stabilised rate of approximately 1.07 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMscf/d). Both Waggon Creek-1 and Vienta-1 were suspended in 2011 for future potential production and/or further investigative operations.

Production testing of Waggon Creek-1 is now set to recommence within a week. The program is likely to take approximately five weeks.

USGS BONAPARTE BASIN ANALYSIS

Further to the recent announcement regarding the updated resources assessment in EP386 totalling 556 Bcf mean prospective recoverable resources (4 September 2012), Advent has also observed that the United States Geological Survey (USGS) has previously analysed the Bonaparte Basin for its contained hydrocarbon potential. As part of its world petroleum assessment, the USGS report demonstrates a mean assessment of 56 million barrels of oil and 460 billion cubic feet of gas in undiscovered resources in the onshore Bonaparte Basin. A copy of the USGS assessment results summary is provided overleaf.

Yours sincerely,
