PGNE Primegen Energy Corporation (CE)

PrimeGen Energy Corp. (PINKSHEETS: PGNE) ("PrimeGen" or the "Company") today announces the initial production for the Rod 10-22, the second well at the Company's Rodnikovskogo, Russia, property. The well commenced commercial oil production on December 16, 2009, and the Company has received production results for the first 21 days. Total oil produced and sold was 60,480 barrels with an average daily production rate of 2,880 barrels per day.

The Rod 10-22 well is the second of a multi-well program drilled at Krasnoarmeiskome District, Saratovskoi Oblast in Russia by PrimeGen. The 2010 development program calls for the drilling of a minimum of 42 wells to develop the field. When fully developed, the 42 wells could yield a daily production rate at Rodnikovskogo of 110,000 barrels per day.

Using current pricing for Rodnikovskogo crude oil, PrimeGen has confirmed that the new well alone has generated $4.3 million in revenue or a projected $75.5 million per year. Currently, oil at Rodnikovskogo has been priced at over $72.00 per barrel.

The property is located in the Krasnoarmeiskome District, Saratovskoi Oblast in Russia, one of the most significant oil and gas regions in the country with advanced infrastructure and more than 60 years of oil and gas production history. Saratov lies in the European part of Russia and borders Kazakhstan, the largest oil producing country in Central Asia. The property covers an expansive area of approximately 250 sq. km.

Continuing 3D seismic data collection and analysis of the property is scheduled for 2010 and will be running concurrently with the drilling program. Several additional high potential drill targets have already been identified and will be further defined and evaluated for feasibility during the next phase of work on the property. The license is within a highly prospective region with existing oil production on adjacent licenses and the super-giant THK-BP gas field.
