SEPTEMBER 2007 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

Overview

Advance Energy Limited, (“AVD”) presents the following highlights for the quarter ended 30 September 2007:

  • Receipts from customers exceeded A$1,077 million

  • Reflected positive net operational cash flows of A$548,000

  • Successfully drilled and completed the Strain 16-4 well on the Motherlode Phase II Totem Prospect.

  • Executed the development plan on the Company’s Possum Kingdom and Lone Camp Assets.

  • Reprocessed 75 square miles of 3-D seismic data on the Company’s Motherlode Phase III Project and began acquiring various leasehold positions under the various targets identified.

  • Raised an additional A$350,000 through the issue of new shares

Operations

Palo Pinto-Possum Kingdom Project

During the quarter AVD carried out its initial development plan for the Possum Kingdom Project (“PK Project”). Three major workovers were successfully performed on these assets that resulted in a combined production increase in excess of 300 Mcf/day.

Several of the wells that were originally slated to be re-worked were producing at higher rates than forecast at the time of the purchase. Therefore, the decision was made to optimize the existing production in these over-performing wells and bring on the behind pipe reserves at a later date.

Palo Pinto-Lone Camp Project

During the quarter AVD also performed two major workovers on its Lone Camp Assets. These two successful workovers added a combined 300 Mcf to the daily production coming from this Project.

The Company continues its negotiations with EOG and several other large Barnett Shale operators regarding development opportunities of the Barnett Shale asset underneath the Lone Camp Project and expect a final agreement by the end of this year. This decision will also impact the timing of the drilling of

the other development wells on the shallower horizons. At this time these wells are planned to commence in the first quarter of 2008.

EOG has completed two Barnet Shale wells offsetting the Lone Camp Project and have permitted another two wells.

Martin County

As highlighted, the company continues to implement the previously announced development plans on the prior held and newly acquired Martin County properties.

During the quarter, AVD participated in the successful drilling and completion of the Strain 16-4 well on the Motherlode Phase II Totem Prospect. This well, similar to the other wells on the prospect, continue to surpass the historic Spraberry/Dean/Wolfcamp wells in the county due to utilizing cutting edge drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques.

AVD participated in the processing of 75 square miles of 3-D seismic data as part of their Motherlode Phase III Project. This reprocessing and subsequent full geological review has yielded numerous targets and lease acquisition and early drilling plans are underway. AVD expects the first wells will be drilled on this Project in the second quarter of 2008.

Subsequent and Future activities

The Company expects to continue to evaluate and excercise its options with respect to additional Motherlode opportunities as and when they become available.

The group will continue to actively seek additional appropriate investments which conform to the current acquisition criteria.

The directors are confident that the company is creating sufficient funding alternatives with which to continue the expansion and prospects of the business in line with stated objectives.
