PetroWorth: Interim Report on Frac Results at E-08 Well in New Brunswick

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - June 18, 2008) - PetroWorth Resources Inc. (CNQ:PTWR) (FRANKFURT:T3F) today provided the following interim report on the frac results to date at the company's E-08 discovery well in New Brunswick.

The first of the two completed fracs at E-08 flowed back 42 cubic metres out of a total of 103 cubic metres of frac fluid prior to initiating burnable gas flow. The interval flowed gas at a rate building to 260 mcf/day at a wellhead pressure of 87 pounds per square inch over a flow period of 76 hours. A sand plug was then placed over the interval in preparation for the next frac interval.

The frac in the next interval flowed back 68 cubic metres out of a total of 216 cubic metres of frac fluid prior to initiating burnable gas flow. The interval flowed gas at a rate building to 976 mcf/day at a wellhead pressure of 474 pounds per square inch over a flow period of 62 hours.

The fracs of the remaining two intervals at E-08 will be conducted within the next few weeks. Once these fracs are completed, PetroWorth plans to provide final flow results on the basis of each individual interval and as a commingled total of the four intervals.

PetroWorth is currently investigating various alternatives to both short and long term marketing of the potential natural gas production from the E-08 well.
