CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 19, 2012) - Alexander Energy Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ALX), ("Alexander" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion and testing of the 15-12-56-27W4 well. The well was drilled, cased, completed, and the initial testing ended on Wednesday, November 14^th. At the end of the production test, rates were over 120 barrels of oil per day plus associated gas, although initial production is only expected to range from 60 to 90 barrels per day plus associated gas once it is producing in through the production facilities.

This is an important well for the Company as it extends our proven field to the north, confirms our seismic data and interpretation, establishes up to 4 additional lower risk development wells, and furthers plans to proceed with the testing of a water flood for the Detrital C Pool.

Reference is made to barrels of oil equivalent (BOE). Barrels of oil equivalent may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. In accordance with National Instrument 51-101, a BOE conversion ratio for natural gas of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl has been used, which is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
