Southern Star Energy Updates Completion Activities
Southern Star Energy Inc., is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s well the Rendall 7-2.
Southern Star Energy is pleased to announce continuing successful progress in its Sentell Field Development Program, Bossier Parish Louisiana. The Company has successfully completed two stages of very large volume, high rate “slick water†fracture treatments on its recently drilled Rendall 7-2 well in multiple Cotton Valley Davis Sand intervals. The Company has fracture stimulated over 800’ of gross gas bearing section between 8449’ and 9252’. The well was stimulated in two stages with over 250,000 pounds of proppant and 16,000 barrels of water per stage at rates as high as 76 barrels per minute. The stages were pumped on April 7 and April 14, 2008. The well is currently flowing back stimulation fluids at a rate of 100 – 150 BPH. Flowlines and equipment have been previously installed such that the well can be placed into sales as soon as flowback testing is complete. We anticipate first sales within the next 7-10 days.
Following up on this success, the company will begin pumping the first stage of a similar treatment on its latest well, the Atkins-Lincoln 17-1 on April 21, 2008.

About Southern Star Energy
Southern Star Energy has approximately 5700 acres under lease within the prospect area, which is defined by a string of ten vintage wells drilled in the 1950’s. The prospect area was historically developed on 640 acre spacing (wells approximately one mile apart). Most of these old wells were abandoned before 1972 after only producing from one relatively thin (20 feet) zone of the Cotton Valley sand members. None of the zones with identified reserve potential have been produced within a five mile radius of the prospect area. Preliminary plans, with continued successful evaluation drilling, will be to develop the leased acreage with at least one well per 160 acres, yielding a potential for 30 to 60 additional locations. Analog fields are being economically developed with at least one well per 80 acres indicating that many more wells can be reasonably contemplated.
