AEDC American Energy Development Corporation (CE)

American Energy Development Corp. (OTCBB:AEDC) hereafter "AED", is pleased to announce its inaugural shipment of production from its Brown #2-12 well has been delivered.

AED's inaugural oil shipment marks the beginning of AED's forward growth, and provides the foundation for its growing portfolio. As part of the commencement of the production test, AED has installed production equipment while permanent equipment undergoes construction calibrated to production test results.

Geophysical data recorded from the Brown #2-12's Niagaran oil reef structure indicated that the structure had good porosity and permeability. Production test results confirmed the data with production results showing negligible traces of water production.

AED believes the reef structure has estimated ultimate recoverable of up to 650,000 barrels of oil with produced oil sold in the market at a premium to West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil prices.

Herold Ribsskog, President of American Energy Development Corp., said, "AED is excited in hitting this milestone, AED's first shipment of product is the beginning of a much larger growth strategy of monetizing its various well assets. The well has proven to be an oil producer and the very small water cut is something I believe is very bullish for the health of the well."
