Royale Continues to Turn Prospects Into Production

    Royale Jewel Tests 3,000,000 Cubic Ft. Per Day
    Royale Bristol Finds 40 Ft. of Log Pay With 2,200 PSI Shut-In Pressure

Royale Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq:ROYL - News) has made two more natural gas discoveries in its core area. The Royale Jewel has been drilled to its total depth. The well is in close proximity to Royale's production facilities and will begin selling gas in two weeks. Three separate Forbes sands were encountered and the deepest zone has been completed with a stabilized production rate of 3,000,000 cubic ft. of natural gas per day. Last year the company began producing its Goddard wells 3/4's of a mile to the north. The Goddard wells have already produced over 2 billion cubic ft. of natural gas to date.

The Royale Bristol was drilled to a total depth of 6,800 ft. and found 40 ft. of Forbes filled natural gas sands. Production casing has been set and the well has a bottom hole shut in pressure of 2,200 psi.

The company has also continued its workover program by recompleting another existing well. The Parks well is now producing from a shallower zone at a stabilized rate of 190,000 cubic ft. per day.

These new discoveries are a confirmation of the significance of Royale's recently approved new 3D seismic survey. The company will be shooting a 25 square mile 3D seismic survey to expand its prospect and production area to the northwest. They are also a very positive step in the company's continuing success of replacing and growing its natural gas reserves.
