ZAAB ENERGY AG / Miscellaneous/Miscellaneous 30.03.2010 11:17 Dissemination of a Corporate News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer / publisher is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Munich, 30 March 2010. ZAAB Energy AG is pleased to announce that its Canadian subsidiary Black Sea Oil & Gas Ltd. ('BSOG'), in which ZAAB Energy holds 51%, has now achieved an overall daily production of approximately 600 barrels of oil equivalent ('boe'). This exceeds the announcement made in ZAAB Energy's company news of 25 November 2009 in which a production of 500 barrels of oil and gas by the end of the first quarter 2010 was targeted. This has become possible due to the drilling success of well 100/9-23-87-6 in 'Section 23' of the Worsley area in Northern Alberta, Canada. The well was drilled, tested and completed successfully and has now been brought into production. It was drilled to a total depth of 2,217 meters and intersected several hydrocarbon containing formations. The most promising formation (called 'Leduc formation') is of Devonian age (a geological age) and was tested for 3 days at an average rate of 5.5 million cubic feet of gas (which equals 1,000 barrels of oil equivalent, 'boe') and 150 barrels of hydrocarbon liquids per day, thus exceeding expectations. Test results lead to a fast track completion. The well has been put on production on Thursday, 25 March 2010 with 500 boe per day and has shown stable production rates since then. This was done only four weeks after the completion of drilling activities. The combination of a medium drilling depth and good infrastructure make this new well in the Worsley area particularly economical. The well has potential for much higher production volumes and production increases are planned for the near future. 'This well result is a remarkable success of BSOG as well as ZAAB Energy's technical team which selected the well location. The new well's production rates are above expectations. This success confirms ZAAB Energy's decision to enter the Canadian market. Our operations in Canada are definitely set to grow and several additional takeover targets have already been identified,' said Jan-Hendrik Röver, member of the board at ZAAB Energy.
