/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
CALGARY, Nov. 27, 2012 /CNW/ - DualEx Energy International Inc. ("DualEx" or the "Company") (DXE, TSX-V) today filed with Canadian securities authorities its Third Quarter Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for the period ending September 30, 2012. Copies of the filed documents may be obtained through www.sedar.com, DualEx's website www.dualexen.com or by emailing DualEx at [email protected].
During the third quarter, production averaged 550 mcfe/d, primarily from the Company's Penészlek gas property in northeast Hungary. Production is lower than the October 2012 daily average of approximately 700 mcfe/d due to routine plant maintenance downtime at the third party owned gas processing facility in Hungary. Natural gas prices in Hungary averaged $15.21 per mcfe in the third quarter 2012, which generated an operating netback of $9.76 per mcfe.
Also, the Company announced in November that it has awarded a drilling contract to Compagnie Tunisienne de Forage for the land drilling rig CTF-06 to drill the BHN-1 exploration well on the Bouhajla North prospect within the Bouhajla Permit in central Tunisia. The rig is currently finishing operations on a well prior to moving to a new location for another operator, after which it is expected to be mobilized to the BHN-1 location, anticipated to be in the first quarter of 2013.
The BHN-1 well is planned to be drilled to a total depth of 2500 metres to test a Cretaceous Abiod target, which is analogous to the Sidi el Kilani oil field located 25 kilometers east of the Bouhajla North prospect. Long-lead items are now in-country, and location construction is expected to commence shortly. DualEx retains 52.5% contractor interest and operatorship of the BHN-1 well.
DualEx Energy International Inc. is an oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in Hungary and Tunisia. DualEx's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "DXE".
Where amounts are expressed on a thousand cubic feet equivalent (mcfe) basis, one barrel of oil has been converted at a ratio one barrel of oil to six thousand cubic feet. Mcfe's may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A mcfe conversion ratio of one barrel of oil to six thousand cubic feet is based on an energy equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
