American Eagle Energy Provides North Dakota Three Forks Wells Update

LITTLETON, Colo., May 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- American Eagle Energy Corporation (OTCBB: AMZG; "American Eagle") is pleased to provide additional production information on its Spyglass Bakken and Three Forks Project in Divide County, North Dakota, following its news announcement from last week . 

American Eagle's Cody 15-11-163-101 well ("Cody 15-11"), which was fracture stimulated on May 21st, has flowed at an average rate of approximately 602 barrels of oil per day (BOPD), 571 thousand cubic feet of gas per day (MCFPD) and 752 barrels of water per day (BWPD) over the last five days. The well is currently producing with a 56% oil cut.  The Company expects to continue flowing the well for a short period prior to shutting it in to install pump equipment and surface production facilities.  

The Christianson 15-12-163-101 well ("Christianson 15-12") has been producing on pump with average rates of 595 BOPD, 385 MCFPD and 574 BWPD over the last ten days.  The producing oil cut on the well has increased to approximately 60%.  Both of these wells are producing from the Three Forks Formation. 

In addition, the Adams 1-18H, operated by SM Energy, was fracture stimulated in the Three Forks Formation on May 28th and has begun flowback operations.  American Eagle owns an approximate 19% working interest in this well, which is located one mile east of the Christianson 15-12 producer. 

Brad Colby, American Eagle's President, stated, "We are extremely pleased with the initial production results from both the Cody 15-11 and Christianson 15-12 wells and look forward to seeing the production results from the Adams 1-18H well.  The production from these three wells will more than double our current daily production rate.  We are excited about announcing further developments from our Spyglass Property in the near future as additional wells are drilled and completed."
