Calgary, Canada: - Transeuro
Energy Corp. ("Transeuro" or the
"Company") announces that the Company has received the final
award for a Production Enhancement Agreement ("PEA") from
the Natural Resource Authority of the Government of the Hashemite
Kingdom of Jordan (the "NRA") to Operate and redevelop the
'Hamza' oil field in Jordan. The award follows an open bid process in
January where the main terms of the PEA were agreed. Final negotiation
of the minor terms of the PEA is underway and the agreement then
requires ratification by the Jordan Parliament.


The Hamza oilfield is located approximately 100km South
East of Amman, close to the border with Saudi Arabia and began oil
production from 4 wells in 1984. The field has produced approximately
900,000 barrels of 32 API oil from 2 reservoirs, the Shuaib and
Hummar, at a depth of 3000m. Initial test flow rates from the wells
vary from a few hundred to over a thousand barrels per day. Field
production achieved a maximum annual rate of 450 barrels of oil per
day (bopd) that has now declined to 20 bopd. The wells do not produce
any significant gas. The existing field facilities include flow lines,
inlet separation, storage tanks, and road tanker loading facilities.
Crude production is transported by road tanker to the Jordan refinery
outside Amman and sold at international prices.


The license area surrounding the Hamza oilfield is
approximately 100 square km and includes a further 4 wells that have
tested oil to surface and can be further investigated by the Company
to determine if production enhancement techniques can achieve
continuous commercial production rates from these 4 new pools. The
most recent well drilled in the area was in 1989 when locations were
derived from 2D seismic. More recent seismic covering the license area
has identified 4 additional exploration prospects.


The Company will issue a further announcement on the terms of the PEA
when final negotiations with the NRA are completed.


David Worrall, President & CEO commented, "The
Company believes that by commencing artificial lift in the existing
wells, by investigating the single well discoveries and with further
drilling based on the new 3D seismic survey, that significant
additional oil recovery is possible from the Hamza field and the wider
license area.
