Canadian Superior Energy says that its application to the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta for an Order under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) (CCAA) was successful, allowing the Company to prepare a plan of arrangement for its creditors, and staying all claims and actions against the Company and its assets. The Order was made under section 11 of the CCAA and it is in effect until March 25, 2009, at which time the matter will be reviewed by the court.

While the Order is in effect the Company will work with a court-appointed Monitor and it will continue to implement a plan of arrangement for its creditors, which includes the initiative to sell an undivided 25% or larger interest in its "Intrepid" Block 5(c) in Trinidad and Tobago. A successful sale of the Trinidad asset should allow the Company to re-structure in an organized manner and reemerge from CCAA in due course.
