ODE Odyssey Petroleum Corp.

NaiKun Wind Energy Group Inc.'s (TSX VENTURE:NKW) wholly-owned subsidiary,
NaiKun Wind Development Inc. ("NaiKun"), announced today that it has expanded
its engineering team by including Offshore Design Engineering Ltd. ("ODE"), one
of the world's leading offshore wind project engineering consultants, to play a
major role in designing and constructing its wind energy project in Hecate
Strait, off the northern coast of British Columbia, Canada. ODE joins Sandwell
Engineering Inc. ("Sandwell") in providing engineering and project management
services for the NaiKun project.


ODE will assist the NaiKun team with its operations planning and brings
considerable European experience in offshore wind projects, from the planning
phase through to construction and operation. Specifically, ODE will provide
project management services supporting the preliminary design phase of the
project including the preparation of detailed cost and schedule estimates, as
well as logistics and construction planning.


Sandwell has assisted NaiKun with transmission and interconnection reports, the
design and installation of a marine meteorological station in Hecate Strait and
studies to determine site conditions at the project location. Sandwell brings
local expertise as well as extensive offshore design and construction
experience. Sandwell will continue to provide engineering services supporting
the preliminary design phase of the project.


"NaiKun is extremely pleased to have both ODE and Sandwell as members of our
project team," said Paul Taylor, NaiKun's President and CEO. "Together they will
provide an extremely strong engineering team that is experienced in both
offshore wind projects and West Coast marine environments. We view this
collaboration as a very important step in bringing the first phase of our
project to fruition."


"Sandwell has provided invaluable support over these last two years and we look
forward to their continued involvement as we enter a critical stage in our
project's development. Also, as a world leader in the development of offshore
wind energy projects, ODE will help move the province of British Columbia closer
to its goal of energy self-sufficiency," Taylor added.


"NaiKun's wind energy project is an exciting opportunity for ODE to bring its
expertise and experience to North America's Pacific coast," said Peter Godfrey,
Chairman and Managing Director of ODE. "NaiKun has assembled an outstanding
team, its project plans are unique and the proposed site is one of the best we
have seen for offshore wind energy development."


"We look forward to our continued involvement in the NaiKun project," said Dave
Kaukinen, Vice President and General Manager, Energy and Infrastructure Division
of Sandwell Engineering Inc. "This is an excellent project and it will make an
important addition to B.C.'s existing renewable energy resources."
