| Drillmar announces commencement of drilling | |
| Georgetown, Cayman Islands - December 2, 2007 Drillmar Oil & Gas, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Drillmar Energy Inc, announced the commencement of drilling of the Bourque #1 well in Iberville Parish in Louisiana. This is a re-entry of a wellbore which was drilled to approx. 10,500 feet. The well was cased to 9,500 feet and was temporarily abandoned 300 feet before reaching a 15 Bcf prospect due to drilling problems. The Company subsequently acquired the prospect on favorable terms and has promoted partners to participate in the well. Drillmar Energy is focused on drilling opportunities where casing drilling can add value. This is a good example where casing drilling allows the Company to explore a prospect that was prematurely abandoned by another company due to drilling problems related to conventional drilling This project bears more geological risk than most of the prospects in our inventory. This risk is offset by the significant investment made by the previous owner and therefore provides very attractive upside relative to the incremental cost associated with completing the drilling of this well.
