Cequence Energy Announces Increased Production and Operational Update to
Lower Montney Drilling

CALGARY, April 14 /CNW/ - Cequence Energy Ltd. ("Cequence" or the "Company") (TSX: "CQE") is pleased to provide the following operational update on its ongoing Montney program in the Sinclair area of North Western Alberta.

Cequence has successfully completed its first Lower Montney horizontal well at Sinclair (the "Discovery Well"). The Discovery Well is 100% owned and was tested over a five day period with a final stabilized flow rate of 4.3 mmcf/d at a flowing pressure of 900 psi. Cequence has 15 gross (14.5 net) sections of land offsetting the Discovery Well with the potential for 59 gross (57 net) additional Lower Montney drilling locations. Cequence has tested gas from the Lower Montney in three offsetting vertical wells with very similar log characteristics to the Discovery Well. A second horizontal Lower Montney well (50% WI) is expected to be drilled after break-up. Cequence's year-end independent reserves report did not assign any reserves to the Company's Lower Montney assets.

With the successful Discovery Well, Cequence has expanded the natural gas resource to include both the Upper and Lower Montney at Sinclair. Over the past six months, three horizontal wells have been drilled and completed at Sinclair with total tested productivity of approximately 14 mmcf/d. With the additional productive capability and the low H(2)S (sour) content of gas from the Lower Montney, Cequence continues to evaluate tie-in alternatives in the area, including the potential construction of our own gas plant.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has successfully added production from its winter drilling program in the Peace River Arch. As a result, Cequence's current production is approximately 3,150 boe/d as compared to 2,089 boe/d in Q4 2009 representing an increase of 50%. The Company's Q1 2010 production is expected to average 2,500 boe/d. Cequence continues to focus its 2010 capital program on oil and liquids-rich natural gas prospects with the objective of continuing to control costs and deliver higher netbacks.
