Reliable Energy Achieves Milestone of 1,100 BOPD, Provides Operations Update

OPERATIONS UPDATE
- Reliable is pleased to report that net oil production is currently 1,100 bopd, an increase of almost 31% from the third quarter exit rate, while average quarterly production to date in the fourth quarter is 988 bopd, compared with 679 bopd in the third quarter, an increase of 46%.
- To date, the Company has completed the drilling of all 11 (8.3 net) horizontal wells that comprised the second half of its 2011 drilling program with 2 (1.5 net) horizontal wells currently awaiting completion operations.
- Reliable has also participated in the drilling of 2 (0.3 net) non-operated wells in the Kirkella area that are now awaiting completion operations which are expected during December 2011.
During November, there was a significant Crown land sale in the Elkhorn, East Manson and Kirkella areas directly offsetting Reliable's lands. Sale prices increased sharply over previous sales with the top price reaching in excess of $4,700 per hectare. This sale is indicative of the recent increase in activity and competitiveness in this part of Manitoba and to the increasing value of Reliable's existing land base.
For 2012, Reliable expects to commence operations in early January with drilling activity for the year anticipated to be along the same lines as 2011. In addition to the development and exploration program, Reliable will be commencing preliminary work on a water-flood pilot project that we believe will greatly enhance the production and reserve profile of wells in the area.
