Dear sir/madam
INCREMENTAL’s WELL H & P #2 DISCOVERS OVER 120 FEET OF PAY
The Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd (“Incremental” or “the Company”) H & P #2 well reached total depth of 5000’ (1524 m) at 2330 hours on 7[th] February 2011 (California time).
Wireline logs have been run. Further analysis is required to more accurately define type and thickness of reservoired hydrocarbons. Initial interpretation of the data suggests:
| INTERVAL (ft) | GROSS INTERVAL(ft) |
NET PAY (ft) |
AV POROSITY % |
ROCK TYPE | INTERPRETED FLUID |
SHOWS WHILE DRILLING |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2160- 2250 | 90 | 26 | 35 | Sandstone | Modheavy oil | Good oilshows |
| 2555- 2600 | 45 | 28 | 35 | Sandstone | Modheavy oil | Good oilshows |
| 3300 - 3480 | 180 | Unknown at present |
Fractures | Brittle Shale | Mod-Light oil | Excellent oil shows |
| 3584 - 3718 | 130 | 43 | 32 | Sandstone | Probable gas andlightoil |
Excellent oil & gas shows |
| 4564 - 4602 | 38 | 24 | 23 | Sandstone | Gas and light oil |
Excellent oil & gas shows |
| TOTAL | 483 | 121 |
The well will be completed as a producer in the coming fortnight with a workover rig. The most likely completion interval at this stage is the Oceanic reservoir between the depths of 4564’ and 4602’, with shallower pays to be exploited later.

Gerry McGann, the Managing Director of Incremental observed: “The discovery of more than 120’ of probable pay in an area that has been in continuous production for over 60 years validates Incremental’s business model of using the team’s knowledge to locate unexploited reserves in these old fields. The deeper light oil and gas will make our profitable Sheep Springs Field even more so and the shallower heavier oil will add to the Company’s reserve base. Several months of production history will be needed before longer term producibility and reserves are established.”
The H & P #2 well is about 40km west of Bakersfield, California. The main target of the well was the Oceanic reservoir prognosed at 4580’ (1396 m). This reservoir has produced at rates exceeding 200 bopd of light (42º API) oil in nearby wells drilled in the 1940’s.
The current operation is preparing to run 5½ inch casing. The well was drilled in record time and is currently under budget.
Yours sincerely

ABOUT INCREMENTAL OIL and GAS LTD
Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd (IOG) is a producing oil and gas company. Our strategy is to identify and acquire underperforming oil fields and to increase production and recoveries. IOG’s primary focus is production rather than high risk exploration, with a strong emphasis on positive cashflow.
The Board and Executive of IOG have a proven track record. They are the same team that acquired and substantially increased oil production in the Selmo oilfield in Turkey through the formerly ASX-listed Incremental Petroleum. This company was subsequently sold in March 2009 to TransAtlantic Petroleum in an $86.5 million transaction.
IOG was launched in mid-2009 and has been profitable over its first year of operations.
IOG’s focus is onshore California. The company has four current projects which are detailed on the website (incrementaloilandgas.com). These projects range from the producing Sheep Springs Oilfield to low risk development projects at Round Mountain and Guijarral Hills and an exploration project at Raven Pass. IOG’s strategy is to develop these and other new and yet to be secured projects into a substantial production base.
