Aurora Oil & Gas Corporation Releases Final Year-End 2006 Reserve Value

TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN, February 28, 2007 - Aurora Oil & Gas Corporation (AMEX: AOG) today released its final year-end 2006 proved reserves value.

The final year-end 2006 reserve report issued by Schlumberger Data and Consulting Services values 153 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) of net proved reserves at a pre-tax PV-10 of $159 million, exclusive of existing hedges. This represents an increase of $20 million in pre-tax PV-10 from the amount reported on February 14, 2007 of $139 million and is due to a correction of estimated future production costs. Pre-tax PV-10 increases to $170 million, when existing hedges are included.

PV-10 represents the present value, discounted at 10% per annum, of estimated future net revenue before income tax of estimated proven reserves. PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes income tax effects. Management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure of PV-10 provides useful information to investors because it is widely used by professional analysts and sophisticated investors in evaluating oil and gas companies. PV-10 is not a measure of financial or operating performance under GAAP. PV-10 should not be considered an alternative to the standardized measure as defined under GAAP.
