CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 14, 2011) - Trilogy Energy Corp. ("Trilogy" or the "Company") (TSX:TET) is pleased to provide an update regarding its 2011 guidance for capital expenditures, increased credit facility, operations in the Kaybob Montney oil pools, guidance for 2012 (production, capital expenditures and operating costs) and announce its November 2011 dividend.

Revised 2011 Capital Expenditure Guidance

Trilogy announces an increase in its 2011 capital expenditures from $285 Million to $350 Million, including acquisitions. The increase is primarily attributable to the expansion of existing infrastructure to accommodate the Company's growing crude oil production, the drilling of additional horizontal wells into Trilogy's Kaybob area Montney oil pools, responding to unbudgeted non-operated projects that Trilogy considers opportune and accelerating the purchase of new equipment and materials to build oil pool infrastructure that was originally budgeted for 2012. The infrastructure for the Kaybob Montney Oil Pool is on track to be expanded to 20,000 Bbl/d and onstream in the second quarter of 2012.

Credit Facility Update

Trilogy's lenders have approved an increase to Trilogy's borrowing base to $525 Million which includes a $50 Million Development Facility dedicated to Trilogy's Montney oil program. The increased credit facilities will allow Trilogy to grow its production and reserve base within forecast cash flow and credit lines.

Montney Oil Program Update

Trilogy drilled 8 of the wells in its 14 oil well program in the third quarter, with the remaining 6 oil wells being rig released by November 6, 2011. Trilogy realized a decrease in drilling times from 25 - 30 days per well to as few as 18 days from spud to rig release. The decrease in drilling time is expected to afford Trilogy the opportunity to drill five additional wells prior to the end of the year: four into the Kaybob Montney oil pool and one into the new Iosegun Montney oil pool. The five additional wells are planned to be fracture stimulated in the first quarter of 2012 and tied in prior to the completion of Trilogy's planned expansion of the treating capacity at the oil battery located at 12-10-64-19 W5M (the "12-10 Battery) from 12,000 to 20,000 Bbl/d which is scheduled to come into service early in the second quarter of 2012.

Total production from the Kaybob Montney oil pool reached production rates of 8,000 Bbl/d of oil and 6 MMcf/d of solution gas as of November 13, 2011. Drilling, completion and construction operations will continue throughout the fourth quarter to fracture stimulate 5 Montney oil wells, tie-in 6 oil wells that were previously fracture stimulated and commence construction of an eight inch oil pipeline and an eight inch sour solution gas pipeline to the 12-10 Battery.

Trilogy intends to follow up on the 8-1-63-19W5 Montney horizontal oil well that was drilled into the Iosegun Montney oil pool by drilling a second horizontal well from 4-14-63-19W5 to a bottom hole location at 13-10-63-19W5. The new well will be drilled into a structurally higher position than the 8-1 well and will be completed early in the new year. Assuming success with the 13-10 well, Trilogy plans to drill up to four delineation wells into the pool in 2012.

2012 Guidance

Trilogy is also pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved a 2012 capital expenditure budget of $300 Million. Trilogy will continue to direct capital spending toward its low risk, liquids-rich Montney gas play in the Presley area, the Montney oil pool development in the Kaybob area and the Montney and Doig formations in the Grande Prairie area. Additional capital will be directed towards other high rate of return, liquids-rich gas and oil plays in the Kaybob area, such as the Cardium, Dunvegan, Spirit River, Bluesky and Duvernay formations.

Trilogy is forecasting 2012 production of 40,000 Boe/d (138 MMcf/fd of natural gas, 12,500 Bbl/d of crude oil and 4,500 Bbl/d of natural gas liquids), representing a 33 percent increase in production from 2011 guidance. Trilogy's oil and natural gas liquids production is projected to increase to 43% of total production on a Boe basis in 2012. This projection assumes the continued successful development of the Montney oil and gas pools in the Kaybob and Grande Prairie areas and additional projected production growth from the development of new pools in the Dunvegan, Spirit River, Bluesky and Duvernay formations.

Operating costs for 2012 are forecast to be $7.00/Boe. This estimate reflects the low production costs associated with the new Montney oil and gas production in the Kaybob area as most of the new production will flow through Trilogy owned and operated pipe lines, oil batteries and gas plants.

November Dividend

Trilogy also announces that its cash dividend for November 2011 will be $0.035 per share. The dividend is payable on December 15, 2011 to shareholders of record on November 30, 2011. The ex-dividend date is November 28, 2011.

Oil and Gas Advisory

This news release contains disclosure expressed as "Boe", "Boe/d", "Mcf/d", "MMcf/d", "Bbl" and "Bbl/d". All oil and natural gas equivalency volumes have been derived using the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Equivalency measures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the well head.
