Target Energy Initiates Testing Program at Permian Basin Project

Target Energy Limited has reported an operations update on its Fairway Project in West Texas.

Work continues at Sydney #2 to reduce the volume of water accompanying the oil. A second cement squeeze has been performed to assist minimising the water, with the well now being put on pump.

At Wagga Wagga #1, the completion and testing program is underway. The first of three planned tests in the Ellenburger Formation was undertaken on 31 Jan 2014 over a 0.6m interval at a depth of approx. 3,030m. The test recovered only water with no hydrocarbons present. Testing of the second Ellenburger zone is set to commence.

Maintenance is underway on wells in the Company's Darwin lease following the extreme winter weather in December and January.

The Company is progressing a number of supplementary funding options for the 2014 Fairway drilling program, including an option to farm-out a portion of its Working Interest in a number of the planned wells.
