Marion Energy Limited (ASX:MAE) Operations Commence To Bring First Clear Creek Gas Well Back Into Production

Melbourne, Aug 17, 2009 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Marion Energy Limited (ASX:MAE)(PINK:MAEJF) advises that operations have commenced to bring the Ridge Runner 11-17 (RR 11-17) gas well, located at Clear Creek Utah, back on stream.

The activities mark the implementation of the operational strategy announced to the market on 14 August 2009.

RR11-17, which tested at an average rate of between 5 and 7 million cubic feet of gas per day over an extended time, is one of a number of Clear Creek and Helper wells identified under the strategy to be brought back into production.

Initial operations will focus on the removal of drilling, frac and other fluids still present in the reservoir from earlier operations. Given the well has been shut in for approximately six months, the Company intends to take a prudent, measured approach to bringing the well back into production.

Once the RR 11-17 well is flowing gas into the sales distribution system at an acceptable sustainable level, similar operations will commence on the next well to be targeted in the program.

Further updates will be provided to the market as operations progress.
