Cirrus Energy Corporation Announces Netherlands Operational Update and UK
Licence Award

CALGARY, Nov. 8 /CNW/ - Cirrus Energy Corporation (TSXV: CYR) is pleased to announce the following operational update regarding ongoing activities in our wholly owned subsidiary, Cirrus Energy Nederland B.V. ("Cirrus") in The Netherlands.

M07-A Field (Cirrus 42.75%, operator)

Production from the M07-A field in The Netherlands restarted on November 5^th following repairs to the hydrate inhibitor regeneration system on the third party operated L09-FF process platform. Gross production is currently stabilised at the contract maximum rate of 850,000 Nm3/day (31.7 MMscf/d) with Cirrus working interest production of 363,000 Nm3/day (13.5 MMscf/d).

Engineering design of a permanent solution to the process problems arising on the L09-FF platform is well advanced although it is not expected that the required modifications to the M07-A platform can be cost effectively implemented until mid-2011. Changes to the gas process system will also require revising commercial terms with the operator of the L09-FF processing platform which have yet to be agreed.

L08-D Field (Cirrus 25.5%, operator)

Production from the L08-D continues on a "huff and puff' regime currently at a gross average rate of 86,900 Nm3/d (3.2 MMscf/d) with Cirrus working interest production of 22,100 Nm3/day (0.8 MMscf/d).

Block M4 (Cirrus 60%, operator)

Cirrus has been awarded an exploration licence for the M4 block effective September 20, 2010. This 408 km2 block contains an attractive Triassic prospect defined on good quality 3D seismic data plus several additional leads. The exploration licence is valid for four years with a drill or drop deadline of November 2, 2013.

Block T1 (Cirrus 47.5%, operator)

Following the end of the open application period, Cirrus has been advised that it will be awarded an exploration licence for the T1 block. This 1.4 km2 block covers a significant proportion of the Q16-Alpha exploration prospect which is currently expected to be drilled during 2Q2011.

Cirrus' wholly owned subsidiary, Cirrus Energy UK Limited, has been advised that is has been awarded a Traditional Licence on the UK Continental Shelf in the 26th Licensing Round which covers blocks 22/1a and 22/2c in the Central North Sea.

The Licence currently contains one well that recovered oil on test and three main prospects in the Jurassic Fulmar and Paleocene Forties sands.
