DPE Drake Energy Ltd.

Eaglewood Energy Inc. ("Eaglewood") (TSX VENTURE:EWD) is pleased to provide an
update on the unitisation of the Stanley Hydrocarbon pool that encroaches into
Eaglewood's Petroleum Prospecting License 259 in Papua New Guinea.


The Corporation acquired two 2D dip seismic lines over the western extent of the
Stanley Field in April 2012. Following the interpretation of these lines and a
review of data from wells drilled in Petroleum Retention Licence 4 (Joint
Venture participants: Horizon Oil Ltd. ("Horizon"): Mitsubishi Corporation:
Talisman Energy Inc.; ("Talisman")), Gaffney, Cline & Associates ("GCA"), an
independent qualified reserves evaluator, prepared a resource estimate for the
Corporation. While the in-place numbers are currently being reviewed by the
Corporation, GCA did confirm an encroachment of the Stanley Field into PPL 259.


Following receipt of the GCA study, the Corporation received correspondence from
the PNG Department of Petroleum and Energy ("DPE") advising that a Petroleum
Development Licence ("PDL") application for the Stanley Field has been lodged by
Horizon, the operator of PRL 4. This correspondence further advised that this
PDL application will not be processed by the DPE until such time as the
unitisation issue with the PPL 259 Joint Venture has been satisfactorily
resolved. The Corporation has provided the PRL 4 Joint Venture with the GCA
study and now awaits receipt of equivalent studies from the PRL 4 Joint Venture.
This data will allow the Corporation to develop a complete picture of the
Stanley Field, including resource volumes and classifications as well as the
resultant equity position held by the PPL 259 Joint Venture.


CEO Brad Hurtubise commented "We are happy to be progressing with the
unitisation and are pleased with the support we have received from the PNG
Government. Given that both Talisman and Horizon have publicly announced Stanley
Final Investment Decisions and the PRL 4 Joint Venture has already applied for a
PDL, we hope to finalise unitisation in a timely manner and look forward to
formalising our equity participation in the Stanley Field."
