Aroway Energy Inc. announced it has drilled, cased and logged its first well on its 100% owned and operated Kirkpatrick Lake property in Central, Alberta. The well was drilled to a total depth of 1,132 meters targeting the Ellerslie formation. The rig will soon move on to the company's second exploration location also targeting oil in the Ellerslie formation with drilling operations expected to begin in the next few days.

Drilling is expected to be completed before year end with completion in early January 2013. Production rates will be reported once the company has adequately flow tested the wells and can report stabilized production rates. Aroway anticipates disclosing these results along with company production by mid-January of 2013.
