CALGARY, Alberta -- Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. ("Deep Well") (PINK SHEETS:DWOG), and its new management and board of directors are pleased to provide shareholders a general corporate update.

On February 25, 2005, Deep Well and its subsidiary Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. ("Northern") entered into a Farmout Agreement with Surge Global Energy, Inc.

Upon the completion or abandonment of the first Option Well drilled by Surge under the Farmout Agreement, U.S. $ 1,000,000 is payable to Deep Well as a Prospect Fee. Surge will have the option to drill another well within 60 days after the rig release of the test well in exchange for 50% of Deep Well's and Northern's working interest in the section of land on which the second option well is located and five additional sections. For a period of two years (the "Earning Period"), Surge will have the option to drill additional wells and earn 50% of Deep Well's and Northern's working interest in various sections. This can continue until Surge has drilled 10 wells, at an estimated cost of U.S. $ 15,000,000, earning up to a 40% undivided working interest in the 63 sections in the Sawn Lake area held by Deep Well and Northern.
