Gallic Energy Receives Approvals for Ger Permit

Gallic Energy Ltd. has received approval on October 7, 2010 for its second and third permits or DOTs to re-enter wells on the Ger Permit, France from local and regional authorities. The first permit had been approved on August 31, 2011
.
Mr. William H. Smith, President and CEO of Gallic, said “Receipt of these approvals is confirmation that Gallic’s targets are conventional reservoirs, naturally fractured carbonates and porous and permeable sandstones, that can be completed without the need for hydraulic fracture stimulation. Surface construction on the first well to be re-entered will commence shortly. Gallic anticipates that rig operations to re-enter two wells on the permit will commence in late Q4 2011 or early Q1 2012. Re-entry of the 2 wells will be done sequentially with one rig.”

GLJ Petroleum Consultants is expected to provide a third party audit of the resource potential on the Ger Permit in the next two weeks.

The company said that interpretation of seismic and well data on the Ledeuix Permit in France is progressing, allowing Gallic’s professional team to identify a well location on a structure identified on 3D seismic. Permitting for this well to be drilled in the first half of 2012 has started.

Gallic has submitted applications for exploration permits of open lands in two countries, and an application in a third country is expected to be filed within the next month.
