HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - Oct 11, 2012) - Holloman Energy Corporation (OTCQB: [ HENC ]) is pleased to announce that acquisition of 127 square kilometres of a 3-D seismic data on Petroleum Exploration License ("PEL") 112 has been successfully completed. The 3-D seismic program was executed by the Australian operations group of Geokinetics Inc. Holloman understands that the data obtained by its farm-in partner, Terra Nova Energy Inc., is of excellent quality and represents a vast improvement (in subsurface imaging) over the seismic data previously available on PEL 112.

Terra Nova has commenced seismic data processing. Once complete, the geophysical program will be interpreted with potential drill locations expected in mid-December 2012. Terra Nova is also in the process of securing a drilling rig to drill up to six wells in 2013. It is anticipated that the first well will be drilled on PEL 112, subject to rig availability, late in the first calendar quarter of 2013. Under the terms of its farm-in agreement on PEL 112 and PEL 444, Terra Nova is required to place AUD$4,500,000 in escrow on November 1, 2012 to support the upcoming drill plan.

News released by Cooper Energy earlier this month confirms the continued success of their drilling efforts on the Cooper Basin's western flank. Cooper Energy reported that the success of it Butlers-5 oil well in PEL 92 has been followed by similar results from its Butlers-6 well. Each well penetrated gross oil columns ranging from 5 to 8 metre in the Namur Sandstone and have been suspended for completion as oil producers. The oil finds on PEL 92 are situated 25 kilometres north/northwest of PEL 112 on lands believed to be of a similar geological model.

On PEL 444, Terra Nova is in the process of designing a 150 km² 3D seismic program for completion in 2013.
