Dejour Energy Inc., has updates current development progress underway at the Woodrush/Hunter Project in NE B.C.

The Company has contracted Ensign Drilling Partnership to drill two wells at its Woodrush production complex. Rig arrival is scheduled for Friday December 5th with completion and tie in to existing infrastructure prior to year end. These wells will target both the Halfway oil and Gething gas pools known to be productive at Woodrush at depths between 3500’- 4000’ with the dual objectives of expanding both current field production and Company YE 2014 reserve values. A third well is projected for H1-2015.

As operator of the Woodrush/ Hunter Project, Dejour will own a 99% working interest in the two new wells. The Project currently encompasses 23,000 gross (17,000 net) acres with 3 oil wells and 6 natural gas wells operating at Woodrush and 2 additional gas wells operating in the adjacent Hunter project in Northern B.C.

Robert L. Hodgkinson, Chairman & CEO said: "We anticipate that the expansion of the Woodrush Project, to include the Gething gas pool known to blanket the underlying Halfway, could become an important revenue driver beginning with this test. With our expanded acreage position there is room for multiple wells into this prolific hydrocarbon zone. Beyond this current initiative, Dejour is actively engaged in building a larger Ft. St. John production unit that both leverages its infrastructure and efficiently utilizes the excess pipeline capacity now in place,"
