CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – July 9, 2013) – Terra Energy Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (TSX:TT) is pleased to announce that the Company has closed on the sale of the balance of its Montney assets in northeast British Columbia to Crew Energy Inc. (“Crew”) for gross cash proceeds of $36 million.

This is the final stage of a three part transaction with Crew involving the sale by the Company of its Montney assets in northeast British Columbia for combined gross proceeds of $78 million. The Company initially closed on the sale of Montney assets to Crew in December 2012, for gross proceeds of $22 million, which included Montney assets in Monias and Groundbirch.

This third and final stage of the transaction involved Montney assets in Altares, Hudson and Mica but did not include any production.

Proceeds from this final stage, less standard industry adjustments and commissions, will be used to pay down debt and strengthen the Company’s balance sheet. It is estimated that the Company’s total net debt following closing is approximately $20 million. Terra’s average daily production for the first quarter of 2013 was 4,469 boe/d.

Reader Advisory

All amounts in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.

A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based upon an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency for the individual products at the wellhead. Such disclosure of boe’s may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1; utilizing a conversion of a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.
