PetroWorth Reports on Frac Operations at Green Gables #3 Well in Prince Edward Island

CALGARY, ALBERTA - (Marketwire - Sept. 5, 2008) - PetroWorth Resources Inc. (CNQ:PTWR) (Frankfurt:T3F) announced today that operations at Corridor Resources Inc.'s Green Gables #3 well in Prince Edward Island have been suspended following the fracture stimulation and subsequent flow-back testing of two intervals in the well. Less than 50% of the frac fluids and small amounts of natural gas have been recovered to date during these testing operations. The well is currently shut in to monitor pressure build-ups in the casing and tubing.

Under the terms of an agreement with Corridor, PetroWorth is financing the costs of these initial frac operations in order to earn a 10% working interest in the Green Gables license 04-03. Corridor has informed PetroWorth that it has elected not to exercise its option to farm-in on PetroWorth's PEI licenses covering some 444,000 acres.

PetroWorth appreciates the significant role Corridor has played in the early evaluation of the Bradelle formation at Green Gables. It has been repeatedly demonstrated in multiple North American basins that developing tight gas sands and shales requires a focused effort over an extended period of time. Moreover, the joint PetroWorth-Corridor efforts to date have proven that all the geological ingredients necessary to achieve commercial success are present in both the Cable Head and Bradelle Formations on (and offshore) PEI. To this end, PetroWorth remains committed to pursuing the appropriate exploration and completion techniques that will inevitably unlock the commercial potential of hydrocarbon resources on our Prince Edward Island properties.

PetroWorth Resources Inc. is a junior oil and gas exploration company with extensive onshore properties in Eastern Canada. The Company has acquired 100% working interests in almost one million acres in nine separate exploration permits on Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The strategy of the company is to conduct aggressive exploration drilling programs on these permitted properties, both in-house and through advantageous farm-in arrangements.

The Corporation has adopted the standard of 6 Mcf:1 BOE when converting natural gas to BOE. BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 BOE is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
