Wentworth Energy Announces That It Has Successfully Drilled Its Fourth Well In East Texas

Palestine, TX - Wentworth Energy, Inc. announced recently that it has successfully drilled its fourth well on its 27,557-acre mineral block in Freestone County, Texas. The Red Lake Gas Unit #2-W (#2-W) well is one of four wells drilled by Wentworth Energy during the Company's initial East Texas drilling program between September and December 2006.

The Company is now completing the #2-W well, which will include an independent four point test conducted as per Texas Railroad Commission regulations to determine the estimated flow rate and the reserves of the well. Plans are to use a work over rig to simultaneously complete the third well, the Red Lake Gas Unit #1-R, which was also drilled in December.

The Red Lake Gas Unit #2-W well was successfully drilled to a total depth of 5,514 feet and a logs were run from total depth to the base of the surface casing. Sidewall cores were taken to analyze several intervals in the Woodbine and Dexter (4,992-5,215'). The #2-W well encountered over 90 net feet of potential pay in the Woodbine formation and successfully extended the proved limits established by Wentworth Energy's discovery well (No.1 Brakens' well). Excellent oil shows were reported in the Woodbine and casing is now being set. Similar to the Red Lake Gas Unit #1-R well, the #2-W well has six prospective zones, three within the Lower Woodbine/Dexter interval, and two zones within the Woodbine formation including one zone that is currently perforated and tested gas on Wentworth Energy's first discovery - the No. 1 Brakens' well, and a Sub-Clarksville sand.

"As with the earlier wells, multiple geological intervals are hydrocarbon saturated and will require extensive production testing which will commence shortly. When we have completed testing wells three and four we should be in a position to start estimating the potential reserves from our 2006 drilling program," said Tom Temples, Wentworth Energy Vice President of Exploration and Production. "The #2-W well, which is located 3000 feet northwest of the Red Lake Gas Unit #1-R well, is the westernmost offset well drilled to date on our East Texas mineral block. It is particularly significant in that it proves the continuation of the reservoir to lower structural elevations and over a large area within the minerals."
