TVL Traverse Energy Ltd

Traverse Energy Ltd. ("Traverse" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:TVL) presents
financial and operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Unless
otherwise stated, the volume conversion of natural gas to barrel of oil
equivalent (BOE) is presented on the basis of 6 thousand cubic feet of natural
gas being equal to 1 barrel of oil. This conversion ratio is based upon an
energy equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and
does not represent value equivalence at the wellhead. BOE figures may be
misleading, particularly if used in isolation.

(i) Management uses funds flow from operations (before changes in non-cash  
    working capital and decommissioning expenditures) to analyze operating  
    performance. Funds flow from operations does not have any standardized  
    meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the 
    calculation of similar measures for other entities.                     



Operations review

All of the Company's oil and gas properties are located in Alberta. Traverse's
activities during 2011 will include the drilling of 7 to 10 wells and shooting 2
and 3D seismic programs within an initial budget of $8-9 million. The Company is
focusing on its' existing medium and light oil properties located in central and
southern Alberta. At June 30, 2011 undeveloped land holdings totalled 147,700
gross (137,300 net) acres at an average working interest of 93%.


During the second quarter Traverse completed the drilling of 2 gross (1.93 net)
wells. At Turin 1 net oil well was drilled and cased for potential oil
production from several zones. This well was placed on production during July,
as a flowing oil well and is currently producing at a rate of 35 BOE per day
(70% oil). Flow rates are currently restricted due to constraints at the
Company's Turin battery. Production from the well includes oil, minor associated
sour natural gas and water. An expansion of the Turin facilities is required to
increase natural gas sweetening capabilities, provide for water separation and
disposal, and increase the oil battery capacity. This work commenced in August.
Traverse has increased its' land holdings to 7,600 gross (7,200 net) acres in
this area. Several follow-up wells are scheduled for drilling, commencing in the
third quarter. Seismic surveys are planned before year end to more fully explore
and develop this property. 


In the Alliance area, Traverse drilled one horizontal well (0.93 net) targeting
Viking oil. A 1075 meter horizontal leg was drilled and completed in June. Due
to mechanical difficulties, only a portion of the proposed completion intervals
were fracture treated. The well has been tied-in and placed on production in
early August with current rates of 50 BOE per day (90% oil). An application for
down spacing has been submitted to allow for an additional well to be drilled.


At Carbon Traverse recently placed a 100% working interest vertical oil well on
production. This well confirms recoverable light oil from the Pekisko formation
and provides correlation with our 3D seismic coverage. The well is currently
recovering completion fluid along with new oil and natural gas from the Pekisko
formation. The well is expected to produce as a lower rate oil and natural gas
well. The Company recently surveyed a horizontal well location scheduled for
drilling in the later part of 2011. This well has a projected 1000 meter
horizontal section in the Pekisko formation. Traverse's land holdings in the
area total 9,500 acres at a 100% working interest.
