WHT Westside Energy Corp.

Production Exceeds 6 MMCFE/D With Completion of New Wells in Johnson and Hill Counties DALLAS, Nov. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Westside Energy Corporation (AMEX:WHT), an oil and gas company with operations focused on the exploration and development of natural gas in the Barnett Shale play in North Texas, today provided an interim operations update. Management Comments Douglas G. Manner, Westside's Chief Executive Officer said, "The additions from recently completed wells have resulted in Westside's net production more than doubling to over 6 MMCFE/D. With four additional wells to come on line in the near future, Westside's net production rate is expected to average between 7 MMCFE/D and 8 MMCFE/D by year end. The success of the Gulftex acquisition and the continued progress up the learning curve in Hill County have resulted in significant production and cash flow increases. As we prepare for our 2008 drilling campaign, we are encouraged by the significant progress made in 2007."
