Magellen Energy Issues Corporate Update

Magellan Energy Ltd. (PINKSHEETS: MGLG). I would like to thank our
shareholders for the patience they demonstrated while Magellan
resolved the high BTU/shut-in situation with the Thomas D. Martin
and Robert Anderson Leases.
In late 2008, the federal government, through the agency FERC,
mandated that any gas with a BTU count higher than 1100 is unsafe
and should not be transported in interstate pipelines or sold to
consumers. Gas originating from oil wells usually has a high BTU
count, and this is especially true in the Burville area where the
Anderson and Martin wells are located. As a result, Magellan, as
well as many other area producers, had their wells shut in by
Citizens Gas for the past six months.
To resolve the issue, Citizens Gas placed a large compressor in
its Burrville gathering system where it ties into a 350 lb.
pressure line. Citizens Gas receives its gas supply from the east
Tennessee gas pipeline and from various local gas producing wells
in Scott, Morgan, Fentress and Anderson counties, and will be
"blending" the gas from all other wells in these counties to lower
the BTU levels. All operators in the area, including Magellan's
operator, TMD Energy Inc., have agreed to pay for the compressor
lease.
The blending process for the high BTU gas from the Burrville
system will ensure that the BTUs will not exceed the critical 1100
level. Magellan intends to sell gas through this system from both
the Martin and the Anderson leases.
The long delay in resolving this issue can be attributed to a
number of factors. Many parties were affected by the shut-in and
each had to be part of negotiating the solution; many logistical
issues had to be addressed; and in the end, the solution had to
satisfy federal guidelines.
Work has virtually been completed on the wells and the
production phase will commence very shortly. In order to gauge
volumes, and therefore, revenues, we must let the gas run through
the lines to achieve consistency in gas flow to obtain a true
estimation of what is pushing through the lines. Consumption =
Sales = Revenues. A meter placed on each well will measure the
volume. The production must carry on for at least a week to achieve
average volumes. An added benefit of gas production commencing is
that the process will also increase oil production on the wells. As
these values are established, Magellan will update its
shareholders.
Magellan is gearing up for production at a time when the U.S.
economy may have reached a turning point in the current recession,
at least in some sectors and the overall outlook for natural gas
seems to be optimistic. The Obama administration's energy policy
hinging on reducing dependence on foreign energy, especially oil,
is encouraging at a time when Magellan's natural gas and oil
production is set to expand.
This is an exciting time for Magellan. While we certainly have
faced challenges in our existing projects, we have worked
diligently to overcome them and progress is being made on all of
our properties.
We remain committed to creating shareholder value through
development, efficient operations and strategic acquisitions.
