  Share With Friends

Kodiak Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: KDKN) is pleased to announce that the North West Territories (NWT) Little Chicago Seismic Program for 2007 is now complete. The seismic data is now in the processing lab and results are expected in 6 to 8 weeks.

An independent evaluation of the Little Chicago Exploration license was completed by a qualified engineering analyst. This report based its evaluation of potential reserves in only one of the several structures observed on the property. This report stated there could be up to 1 billion barrels oil and up to 2 tcf of gas in one of the structures analyzed.

The new work on the 200,000 acres Mackenzie River block EL 413, potentially based on preliminary info received, may contain up to 1 billion barrels oil and potentially up to 4 TCF of natural gas if all the identified zones are productive. These early estimates, will require confirmation via the processing of the seismic acquired in March 2007 and the planned drilling programs for winter of 2008/2009.

The oil targets are interesting as they could provide early production while the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline moves through the regulatory process. The Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Group, headed by Imperial Oil, Shell and ConocoPhillips - recently advised Kodiak that the pipeline would be routed through EL 413. This will substantially reduce development costs for the gas production.

Upon the completion of the 2007 seismic and the Thunder River acquisition, Kodiak's control or working interest will rise to 56.25% of the acreage. Upon completion of the drilling programs planned for 2008, Kodiak's working interest will increase via the farm in, to 78.12 % per test block for each well drilled. With a rolling option to earn the same amount for the whole block.

In order to prepare for the upcoming work planned in 2007 and going into 2008, Kodiak is pleased to announce a new VP Operations and 2 new members of the Advisory Board:
