Triangle Petroleum Announces Multi-TCF Resource Assessment

Triangle Petroleum Corporation (the \"Company\" or \"Triangle\") (OTCBB: TPLM) is pleased to report that its independent reserves evaluation engineering firm, Ryder Scott Company Petroleum Consultants (\"Ryder Scott\"), has estimated the resource potential for the Company\'s Horton Bluff Shale in the Windsor Block of Nova Scotia to be 69 trillion cubic feet (\"TCF\") of original gas-in-place.

Ryder Scott calculated gas-in-place at the Kennetcook #1 well using the extensive database of log and core data for the well, mapped the rock volume within Triangle\'s seismic survey, correlated the well to the seismic, and then determined the resource potential of the seismically-delineated area. A 3D seismic survey of 16,200 acres (25 sq. mi), which contains the two test wells drilled to date, is encompassed within the overall 2D seismic area. Within this subset land block, Ryder Scott estimates a resource potential of 3 TCF, which is included in the 69 TCF total. Triangle\'s 2D seismic database consists of 142 linear miles of recently-shot, high quality data.
