Canada Energy Partners Inc. ("Canada Energy" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CE)
is pleased to report the re-test results for the Portage 3-12 well, the second
horizontal Montney well drilled at Peace River. The original completion and test
of the 3-12 occurred in December 2010 with an end-of-test rate of 1.2 million
cubic feet per day. The well was re-tested in March 2011 for 48 hours yielding a
peak rate of 10 million cubic feet per day ("mmcf/d"), an average rate over the
test period of 4.8 mmcf/d and a stabilized end rate of 2.4 mmcf/d. 


The Portage 3-12 was re-tested as follow-up to the successful re-test of the
Portage c-20-E, as announced by the Company on December 13, 2010. These two
re-tests appear to confirm the benefits of 'resting' a well for an extended
period after initial completion, after which flow capacity improves (see
December 13, 2010 news release for technical detail).


In industry news, on March 18th Encana announced their acquisition of a 30%
interest in the Kitimat LNG Project. The Company believes that this LNG Project
will have a positive long-term impact on gas prices in Western Canada by the
creation of additional markets and the consequential narrowing of West-to-East
price differentials.


Canada Energy is an active oil and gas exploration and development company. The
Company possesses a large concentrated land position in a high-impact,
multi-zone, natural gas-bearing area in northeast British Columbia.


On behalf of the Board of Directors of Canada Energy Partners Inc.
