EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Apr 14, 2015) - Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. (and its subsidiaries - "Deep Well" or "Company") (DWOG) is pleased to announce the following operations update on its joint Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage project ("SAGD Project") located in Sawn Lake, Alberta.

The SAGD well pair was drilled to a vertical depth of approximately 650 meters with a horizontal length of 780 meters each. Steam injection began in May 2014 and circulated for up to four months with production commencing in mid-September 2014. The start of our bitumen sales averaged 221 barrels per day, half way through the 3rd thirty day period since the start-up of production. The production has since increased significantly. For the month of March 2015, bitumen sales averaged 319 barrels per day, with a Steam Oil Ratio ("SOR") of 5.4. In the last 16 days of March, the production averaged 350 barrels per day with an SOR of 4.9. A single daily production peak was achieved in March 2015 at 421 barrels per day. All of these production numbers are on a 100% basis with Deep Well owning a 25% working interest through its subsidiaries. Deep Well also beneficially owns 2.24% of Andora Energy Corporation. Over the next several months, bitumen production from the SAGD well pair is expected to increase as the steam chamber continues to develop. The steam chamber is now expected to reach the top of the Bluesky sandstone reservoir in April of 2015. Based on the operator's forecasts, the maximum production rates and a stable SOR are expected around September 2015. Below is a graph of the Average Daily Production Rate, by month, from this first SAGD well.

The objective of this initial pilot well pair was to establish that the SAGD process works in the Bluesky formation and to provide productivity information on the reservoir. Now that the start-up data from the SAGD project are available, the Company will use that information to start on the front end engineering of its Alberta Energy Regulator approved HCSS (Horizontal Cyclical Steam Stimulation) project. Deep Well and its Canadian subsidiaries, Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. and Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta) Ltd., have a 90 per cent working interest in 51 contiguous square miles of oil sands leases, an 100 per cent working interest in 5 contiguous square miles of oil sands leases and a 25 per cent working interest in 12 contiguous square miles in the Sawn Lake heavy oil area in North Central Alberta. The leases cover 17,408 gross hectares (43,015 gross acres).

Deep Well is fully committed to best practices in Environmental Stewardship to assure sustainable development of its in-situ heavy oil holdings.
