/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

CALGARY, Dec. 18, 2013 /CNW/ - Seven Generations Energy Ltd. (the "Company") is pleased to announce the following recent developments.

The Company recently closed equity financings in the gross amount of approximately $251 million which consisted of a small private placement to management and employees and a $250 million marketed private placement to institutions and qualified individual investors (the "Equity Offerings"), all at a price of $25.00 per share. The net proceeds from the Equity Offerings will be used to finance the drilling, completion and associated infrastructure investments to enable growth of the Company's Kakwa River Project.

The Company also recently increased its debt capacity by expanding its existing revolving credit facility from $60 million to $150 million.  RBC Capital Markets led the facility upsize, acting as Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner, with Credit Suisse AG, TD Bank and CIBC also included as lenders in the banking syndicate.

Finally, the Company and Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina") have entered into agreements which provide for the Company to deliver up to 21,000 bbls/d of natural gas liquids, condensate and crude oil into Pembina's Peace pipeline system.  The Company's CEO, Pat Carlson, said, "these arrangements, in combination with pre-existing rich gas market arrangements with a third party, provide a market for the Company's expected production of up to 250 MMscf/d of raw gas anticipated in 2016."

Seven Generations Energy Ltd. is a private Canadian company headquartered in Calgary and with an operations centre in Grande Prairie, Alberta, whose only asset is the Kakwa River Project near Grande Prairie.  The Kakwa River Project consists of an approximately 270,000 net acre land base including approximately 250,000 net acres of Montney rights. The Company launched into large scale development of its lands by contracting seven drilling rigs in the summer of 2013.   In the second half of 2013, the Company has completed and tested eleven wells from the Montney zone.   Initial (best) 24 hour test rates of new wells ranges from 4 MMscf/d to 27 MMscf/d with an average of approximately 12 MMscf/d.  Associated with these volumes of rich raw gas, these tests have produced 400 bbls/d to 3,300 bbls/d of natural gas condensate, with an average of approximately 1,700 bbls/d.   Six of the new wells are now tied in and on production.  Three more new wells are anticipated to be on production by year end.  The Company expects that when fully developed, the Kakwa River Project will possess the capacity to deliver up to 2.0 Bscf/d of sales gas and more than 200,000 bbls/d of natural gas liquids (ethane through condensate).
