Ithaca Energy Inc. announces that stable production from the Jacky field has
been restored in the J01 well ("the well") at approximately 3,120 barrels of oil
per day ("bopd")(1,482 bopd net to Ithaca).


Production has been restored to this level through the replacement of a dual ESP
system with slightly larger pumps providing greater operational flexibility and
prolonged run life. The well was producing at approximately 2,800 bopd (1,300
bopd net to Ithaca) before the loss of pump assisted flow, as previously
announced.


Jacky Joint Venture Partners are Ithaca (Operator, 47.5%), Dyas UK Ltd (42.5%),
North Sea Energy (UK) Limited (10%).


Athena Project Update

The engineering and modifications associated with the dry dock works in Dubai to
extend the Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel, 'BW Athena' by 65
feet and install a turret docking system have been completed. The vessel has now
been re-floated ready for installation of the new power generation and water
injection modules during July 2011. This is another critical milestone
accomplished towards achieving first oil in Q4 2011.
