Birchcliff Energy Ltd. report that the Phase III expansion of its 100% owned and operated Pouce Coupe South Gas Plant (PCS Gas Plant) is complete and operational. The Phase III expansion of the PCS Gas Plant began processing gas approximately one month ahead of schedule.

Birchcliff is pleased to announce that as a result of the PCS Gas Plant being operational, record current production is approximately 25,500 boe/day. Birchcliff is confident that it will exceed its 2012 exit guidance of 26,000 boe/day.

Jeff Tonken, President and Chief Executive Officer of Birchcliff stated that the PCS Gas Plant is the cornerstone of our strategy to control and expand our production and further reduce our operating costs per boe. The PCS Gas Plant is expected to process our Montney/Doig natural gas for more than 30 years.
