Red Fork Energy Mississippian Play Operations Progress Report

Oklahoma based (Australian Securities Exchange listed) oil and gas exploration and production company, Red Fork Energy Limited (“Red Fork” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the following update on operations across its holdings in the Mississippian play in Oklahoma.

Pawnee County, Oklahoma

Tahara 1-28H Well

As announced earlier this morning a program of production testing has commenced, with early data yielding positive results. To date we have recovered 6,000 of approximately 70,000 barrels of load water and we are already seeing rapidly increasing shows of oil and rich (high BTU) gas.

Bottom hole pressures are normal for this depth and we are gradually lowering the fluid level (currently still about 650 feet from the surface). The rate of pumping via the ESP is being monitored on a continuous basis as the well continues to flow intermittently and the load water is recovered.

This production testing profile (used to establish the 30 day peak rate) is consistent with those seen in off setting wells drilled by other operators in this part of the play.

Abunda 1-21H Well

As previously announced the first few hundred feet of the lateral in this well exhibited somewhat different drilling conditions to the Tahara #1-28H well. It appears that the fracturing in the productive interval is more pronounced in this well (indicative of higher deliverability and a feature of some of the more productive wells in the play).

Current operations include preparations to move in the Jerry Scott #2 rig to resume drilling of the lateral in this well.

Noble County, Oklahoma

McMurtry 1-21H, McMurtry 1-22H and Blair 1-24H Wells

A 3D seismic program has been completed over a 16-section area within our initial Noble County development area. Interpretation of this seismic (completed to date) has cleared the first three locations (wells named above) for drilling.

Surface damages have been settled on all three sections and a location had been built for the McMurtry 1-21H well . Completion of all production infrastructure for this area (oil, gas and water) is also well advanced.

Current operations include preparations to move in the KAL Drilling rig #3 on location to spud the McMurtry #1-21H well . The KAL Drilling #3 rig (a 10,000 foot capacity top drive) is contracted to drill all three of the Noble County wells.

Further updates will be provided as operations continue.

Yours faithfully
