UnionTown Energy (UTOG) Announces Deployment of Drill Rig and Equipment to New Miami Property

FX Drilling Company and Weatherford International to Drill First of 17 Planned Horizontal Wells

BILLINGS, MT--(Marketwire - May 2, 2011) - UnionTown Energy Inc. (OTCBB: UTOG) is pleased to announce that the operator of the New Miami Property, Sands Oil Company, has concluded negotiations with FX Drilling Company Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of FX Energy Inc.

FX Drilling Company will deploy the drill rig this week to begin operations at the New Miami. The drilling program for the 5,277 feet primary drill target is scheduled to start between May 11-15, 2011.

In addition, Sands Oil confirmed today that Weatherford International, a highly experienced, world-class oil and gas services company, will execute the horizontal and directional drilling component of the program.

The well to be drilled is named the New Miami #42-20H. UnionTown expects approximately 4 days of vertical drilling followed by the horizontal, directional drill program.

Under the terms of the contract, UnionTown has already placed US$800,000 into the operations account to fund the drilling program.

As previously announced, this is the first of 17 horizontal wells planned for its New Miami property. UnionTown considers this first well to have a strong probability of success as the identified drilling target is adjacent to 3 additional vertical well completions that have been drilled at New Miami in which oil and gas have been tested and/or produced from the Sun River Dolomite (Madison).

The company has reviewed reports from recent drilling activity that estimate the 1,480-acre property to contain an estimated 2.4 million recoverable barrels of oil.

The New Miami Prospect is located in the Madison Formation in an area known as the Sweetgrass Arch. The property is situated within a prolific oil and gas region, with more than 300 million barrels of oil and 500 billion cubic feet of natural gas produced to date within a 50-mile radius. Within 4 miles from the property, a single producing oil field has yielded in excess of 30 million barrels of oil.

"We are very excited to be working with FX and their service partner, Weatherford International Ltd., which are world-class, premier oil and gas service companies," said UnionTown President and CEO Darren Stevenson. "Through our recent acquisitions, we have assembled a high potential oil and gas land package with near term, drillable targets that are estimated to have recoverable reserves in excess of 132.8 million barrels of oil equivalent. In addition, we will benefit from the operator and service partner's extensive experience in drilling operations and thus are making progress towards early production."
