Auditor KPMG - Toronto About Acadian Energy Acadian Energy is a junior exploration and production company focused on New Albany Shale (NAS) oil and natural gas in the Illinois Basin. Acadian completed a third party NAS Greenfield oil analysis predicting production rates, estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) and well spacing parameters. Results indicate a strong economic outcome for wells drilled at todays oil prices for revenue and reserves. Acadian has NAS acreage under lease, and seeks to add Shale Oil resources to its gas base. Acadians management team were prolific gas drillers in a prior company, and instrumental in its 2006 sale for $833 million.

Acadian Energy is planning a 2012 New Albany Shale Oil drilling program. Acadian Energy has worked diligently to quantify the shale oil potential of our leases in the Maria Creek Project. Working with Fekete Associates of Calgary to complete a Greenfield Shale Oil Simulation, multiple well scenarios were modeled. Sensitivity analyses were performed to determine their impact on the estimated ultimate oil recovery (EUR); porosity, water saturation, vertical and horizontal permeability and reservoir pressure. Geochemical data from existing core log data suggests that 6 horizontal multi-frac stimulated wells could recover up to 1,000 Mbbl and a minor amount of natural gas.

Greenfield Shale Oil Simulation Project Complete
In an effort to mitigate risk and realize the shale oil potential in the New Albany Shale, Acadian management put out for bid a Greenfield oil simulation project. Acadian awarded the bid to Fekete Associates Inc. out of Calgary, who provide integrated reservoir management services and software to the oil and gas industry worldwide.
Fekete has a full-time staff of over 180 engineers, geologists, technologists, programmers, and support personnel. They ensure all aspects of geology, geophysics, petrophysics, reserves, pressure and deliverability are incorporated to develop a comprehensive reservoir characterization model. Their client list includes over 1000 companies worldwide. They are on the leading edge of research in reservoir engineering, and have delivered a wide variety of projects resulting in better reservoir management and production optimization for their clients.
NAS SHALE OIL GREENFIELD RESULTS: Two well scenarios were modeled; a vertical well and a horizontal well with 5000 ft horizontal length. Sensitivity analyses were performed on the following reservoir parameters to determine their impact on the estimated ultimate oil recovery (EUR); porosity, water saturation, vertical and horizontal permeability and reservoir pressure.
Low permeability reservoirs, drilled vertically and frac-stimulated calculated an EUR of 7 Mbbl. The low permeability horizontal multi-frac stimulated well produced an EUR of 70 Mbbl. In comparison, higher permeable shale reservoirs with a vertical completion would produce an EUR of 35 Mbbl. A horizontal multi-frac wells estimated EUR was 200 Mbbl.
Geochemical data suggests that in an area of 640 acres, an OOIP of 9,880 Mbbl would be calculated. Thus 4 horizontal multi-frac stimulated wells could recover 800 Mbbl and a minor amount of natural gas. The results compare favorably with other North American oil resource plays.
Acadian is currently in the process of interviewing joint-venture partners and investors.

Acadian Energys Shale Gas Overview: Cash flow while Oil Explored
Acadian is a low cost driller ($800K drilling and completion cost per hole = 1 BCF Nat Gas). The shale is naturally fractured requiring no expensive fracing. The production is long life >50 years, with slow decline. Taps into local pipelines exist, and location affords premium pricing. Many large drilling funds are also in the area.
