Pacific Energy Resources Ltd.: Completion Program Completed on Pacific Paladin 15-18, Pacific Creek Project Green River Basin Wyoming

LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/01/07 -- Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. (TSX: PFE) (The "Corporation") wishes to announce that frac stimulation and testing of the Mesaverde and Lance formations on the Pacific Paladin 15-18 have been completed. The Corporation and its partners will meet in Houston prior to November 5th to discuss the results and next steps after which, per the terms of our Participation Agreement, detailed results and future development plans will be released. The Pacific Paladin 15-18 was drilled to the base of the Mesaverde formation with a total depth of 13,851 feet (Satisfying the terms of the Shell Participation Agreement as amended). The well is designed to test the commercial viability of the Mesaverde and Lance formation in the "Paladin" area which totals approximately 4,000 acres on the west side of a fault that separates it from the "Ranger" area, a 7,000 acre prospective area. The Pacific Paladin 15-18 is the first of a two well commitment under the Participation agreement, the second well, Ranger 7-21, which is now expected to spud in 2008 (subject to agreement with partners). The Ranger well is now proposed to be drilled to a depth of 21,000 feet. The decision to increase the total depth of the Ranger is based on both recent region successful wells in the Hilliard Formation and the Williams Exploration well Federal 1-34 which was drilled in 1978 to a depth of 25,760 feet. The Williams well is located within the current AMI. Well log data for the Federal 1-34 indicates potential gas bearing sand in Ericson, Rock Springs, Blair, Baxter Shale (Same as Hilliard), and Frontier formations. Pacific Energy estimates based on well control that more than 50% of the Area of Mutual Interest of approximately 100,000 acres is underlined by the formations described above. Currently the company is selecting a drilling rig/contractor capable of drilling to 21,000 feet. Upon completion of the obligations under the Agreement, the Company will earn a 40% working interest in approximately 85% of the 100,000 acre area of mutual interest and a 28% working interest in approximately 15% of the area of mutual interest.
