TORONTO--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 18, 2007 -- Magellan Energy Ltd. (Other OTC:MGLG.PK - News), an independent oil and gas company, announced today that it is selling natural gas from wells on the Thomas D. Martin project in Morgan County, Tennessee in which it holds a 20% working interest. The operators for these wells, TMD Energy Inc., stated that the Citizens Gas Utility District have recently reconfigured the gas pipelines to allow gas from the wells to enter its system. A compressor has also been installed to increase production volume.

Magellan Energy is pleased to announce that the Martin lease is a mature producing oil and gas property that is being prepared for waterflooding. This ongoing project with TMD Energy Inc. will take some time to complete but with the newly installed compressor we will have increased gas production and revenue for Magellan Energy Ltd. The water flood project must still be subject to further research, geological surveys and studies to be properly executed. Until such time is determined, the wells will continue to operate at their new capacity, generating revenue with the new lines.

Magellan Energy's President, Mr. Akrivos, said, "We are very pleased at the progress that has been made up to date on the Martin project which will take some time to properly execute. TMD Energy Inc. has done an excellent job ensuring the wells maintain production and we are extremely happy to be working with them. This is our company's second successful project in Tennessee, thus establishing Magellan as a reputable, revenue-producing company in the oil and gas industry. In addition, we are in the final stages of developing a third project in Tennessee, which will be announced in the near future."
