Nextraction's Noble 6-24 Well Flows Back 3 Million Cubic Feet Gas/Day

Increased Production Verifies Potential of North Pinedale Region

Nextraction Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE: NE) ("Nextraction") is pleased to report that the completion of the Upper Lance and Tertiary zones of the Noble 6-24 well resulted in a flowed back rate of 4.853 million cubic feet of gas (MMCFG) over an 8-hour absolute open flow test, with an average rate of 3.007 MMCFG/day on an initial 24 hour test. Over a five day flow back period to recover frac fluids the well produced a total of 6.153 MMCFG, 34 barrels of condensate, and 274 barrels of water/frac fluids through a 1/2 inch choke. The well was then shut in for the installation of production tubing to assist in the recovery of production fluids. A sustained flow rate will be determined and released upon completion of frac fluid recovery and the removal of the water from the lower previously frac'd formations.

Mark S. Dolar, President of Nextraction said, "We have learned a great deal by drilling and bringing into commercial production our first well at Pinedale. The ability to share production data with other operators has added to our knowledge of completion techniques unique to the Anticline. The success of the first well means that we can now look at the North Pinedale region as the multi-well program (30-60 well potential) we had anticipated when we acquired an interest in the play."

Fracing the Middle Lance, Upper Lance, and Tertiary sand zones in the upper portion of the well follows the previous completion of the Lower Lance and Mesaverde zones. These two lower zones had an initial flowing rate of 1.1 MMCFGPD and 29 barrels of condensate (please see Nextraction's news release dated August 9, 2010, a copy of which can be found under Nextraction's profile on SEDAR at www.Sedar.com). The significant increase in gas can be attributed to the successful fracing of the upper zones and more importantly establishes the outstanding potential of the North Pinedale region. Nextraction owns an interest in 3,774 acres of leasehold. Nextraction holds a 25% interest with Vantage Energy LLC ("Vantage") on 2,600 acres and a 100% interest on 1,174 acres in the area.

Nextraction holds a 100% interest in the Noble 6-24 well until it receives 150% of payback on investment capital for the well and surrounding infrastructure, estimated at (US) $6.8 million. Upon reaching payback, Nextraction's interest will reduce to 73.75% with Vantage then owning the remaining 26.25% interest in the well (please see Nextraction's news release dated October 8, 2009 for details of the deal terms between Vantage and Nextraction, a copy of which can be found under Nextraction's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com).

As a result of the increased exploration potential, Nextraction has now scheduled the acquisition of seismic data on its Pinedale leasehold in the first quarter of 2011 and is acquiring existing 3-D seismic data in the immediate area. The seismic data will assist in the determination of future locations. Nextraction anticipates the development of 30-60 future wells at Pinedale, which may include wells on Nextraction's 100% owned leases.
