Federal 14-15-7-21 Log Confirms Significant Mancos Hydrocarbon Potential

Dejour Energy Inc. (NYSE MKT: DEJ / TSX: DEJ) (“Dejour” or the “Company”), an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company operating in North America's Piceance Basin and Peace River Arch regions, reports on current development progress at the Kokopelli Project (“Kokopelli”).

Since the commencement of this phase of Kokopelli in September 2014, Dejour with its operating partner (the “Operator”) have completed the drilling, casing, fracking and testing of the produced water disposal (PWD) well on Pad 21A, vital to the economics of the ongoing Kokopelli production programs. This well is now ready to equip as a disposal well for produced water for all wells expected to be drilled on the Jolley Mesa portion of this south lease at Kokopelli, once associated facilities are in place.

Subsequently, on Pad 21B, less than 500 yards away, the working interest partners successfully drilled and cased 7 Williams Fork wells (Federal 14-15-1-21 through Federal 14-15-8-21) and a single vertical 13600’ Mancos test well (Federal 14-15-7-21) as contemplated in the original 2014 drill program by the Operator.

Logs to date of the Williams Fork indicate production profiles consistent with existing current production. Logs of the Mancos section encountered in the last well indicate the presence of gas throughout this deeper zone. Data continues to be interpreted with additional cased-hole logs to be run in February.

With this drill phase now at a close, comprehensive fracking, completion and tie in options are now being assessed by the Operator. Production rates of the entire suite of wells will be established once the wells are on line.

Dejour owns an ongoing 25% working interest in the Kokopelli Project. The successful establishment of gas from high pressure Mancos could add significantly to both the production profile of the entire project and the value of the total Kokopelli resource.

“The findings to date related to the Mancos section at Kokopelli creates the potential for a multi-zonal resource to highlight this Colorado-based holding. Under the Operator’s stewardship, this developmental phase of the Kokopelli Project has moved according to plan and Dejour is now positioned to benefit from a most attractive 12 well U.S. production base with the ability to expand as the gas price dictates. There are currently 208 undrilled locations in the Williams Fork, alone, on this 2200-acre property, prior to any lease expansion. Completion success of this Mancos well is expected to increase that number and demonstrably increase the deliverable resource,” stated Robert Hodgkinson, CEO.
