ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE AUSTRALIAN STOCK EXCHANGE: 30 APRIL 2007

MARCH 2007 QUARTERLY REPORT

The Board of Odyssey Energy Limited ("Odyssey" or "Company") is pleased to present its March 2007 quarterly report. During the March quarter, the Company has:

  • Carried out remediation work on 8-wells within the expanded 24,000 acre Jester-Bloomington project area in Oklahoma (Odyssey 33.3% Working Interest);
  • Continued with upgrades to the area's pipeline infrastructure and compression facilities to enable significant increases in gas production - with the important milestone of installation of a new sales compressor recently completed:
  • Continued work on the 6-mile tie-in of the McAlexander#1 and Travis#1 wells from the central project area - with pipeline construction completed at the time of writing this report:
  • Commenced construction of a 1-mile spur line to directly connect the Patten#1 and $\bullet$ Denby#2 wells to the main gas sales line (also completed at the time of writing).

As a result of this work the Company expects to bring the 8 northern-area wells, McAlexander#1 & Travis#1 on-line and build a stable production base for the project over the coming weeks. Construction will then begin on a new 6" line to tie-in the Houck#1, McDondald#1 and Francis#1 wells to the south and a second work-over program will commence on the remaining 44 wells owned by the project partners.

In the 28,000 acre North Helper Gas Project in Utah (Odyssey 30% Working Interest), the Company has:

  • Completed drilling and fracture stimulation of the new Kenilworth Railroad#15-3 (Ferron) directional well, which has been tied into production infrastructure and is currently cleaning-up and dewatering;
  • Treated the Cordingly Canyon#15-1 well for unbroken gel and iron precipitates. After an initial period of swabbing, the well was put on pump and immediately started flowing back large quantities of broken gel, coal fines and iron precipitate with associated gas.
  • Based on these encouraging results, the Ball Park#1 well was given a similar treatment in mid-April, coupled with a coal-stimulation package to assist in the handling of coal fines during clean-up (also applied to the 15#1 well).

Both treated wells are continuing to clean up, with the Cordingly Canyon#15-1 now appearing to be entering a more conventional de-watering phase with good fluid entry (indicative of high connected permeability) and associated gas production. Analysis of produced fluids is showing no evidence of residual gel, and the wells appear to be handling the flow of iron precipitates out of the near well-bore region. If this trend continues over coming weeks with associated increases in gas sales, the 4 other Ferron wells in the project area will undergo a similar treatment & clean-up cycle and be placed back on production. Target production for each of the (7) Ferron wells in the project remains in line with the original test rates achieved of 1.0 to 2.0 million cubic feet of gas per day ("MMCFD").
