Enterra Energy Trust Announces 2007 Financial and Operating Results

and Filing of Annual Information Form and Form 40-F


Calgary, Alberta – (Marketwire – March 31, 2008) – Enterra Energy Trust (“Enterra” or the “Trust”) (TSX: ENT.UN, NYSE: ENT) announces its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007.


Blaine Boerchers, Chief Financial Officer of Enterra commented, “Although 2007 was very challenging with writedowns due to asset sales and goodwill impairment contributing to a loss for the year, there are positive aspects to consider.  For example, our U.S. reserve replacement  for 2007 of 2.1 million boe was added at a cost of less than $8 per boe, and the overall Trust reserve replacement cost was also very competitive at $11.76 per boe.  Looking forward, our oil and liquids production weighting (approximately 38%) has provided exposure to oil price upside in the new year, gas prices are also much stronger, and our debt has been reduced by $48.9 million as at March 31.  Although there is still much work to do, there are good potential opportunities ahead of us.”


2008 Plan Highlights and Achievements


·

Debt reduction goals (announced December 21, 2007) have been achieved


·

Large asset sales completed


·

Drilling program and prospect inventory development proceeding as per budget


·

Cost reduction initiatives continue


As of March 31, 2008, Enterra has reduced its first-lien credit facility from $148 million to $110 million, and its second-lien facility from $40 million to $29.1 million.  The Trust has until June 30, 2008 to further reduce the second lien to $28.0 million and anticipates that this repayment can be achieved with cash flow or refinancing.  Enterra has approached its lending syndicate with regard to the removal of certain restrictive covenants now that these repayments have been made.


Enterra continues to execute on its conservative $30.0 million capital program, split evenly between operations in Canada and Oklahoma.


2007 Significant Events


·

Acquired a prolific heavy oil play in addition to established gas production through the $63.3 million acquisition of Trigger Resources Ltd. (“Trigger Resources”)


·

Initiated disposition of non-core assets; majority of transactions closed in early 2008


·

Suspended distributions until November 20, 2008


·

Average production of 12,428 boe/day, consisting of 62% natural gas


·

Successful drilling programs in Canada and Oklahoma


·

58% drop in reserve replacement costs



Operations


While average production for the year remained essentially flat, the fundamental performance of the Trust was impacted by lower commodity prices and higher operating and overhead costs.  Production additions through the acquisition of Trigger Resources and from drilling programs in Canada and Oklahoma were effectively offset through natural production declines and the sale of minor assets during the year.  Year-end proven plus probable reserves, net of non-core asset sales completed subsequent to year-end, declined by a modest 2%.  The Trust estimates that, after the effect of asset sales, its production for the first quarter of 2008 will be in the range of 9,800 – 10,300 boe/day.


In 2007, the Trust drilled the first wells operated by Enterra under the direction of its own technical team.  Overall, the drilling success rate of the Trust – operated and through the Oklahoma farmout – was 97% (32 gross wells, 11.8 net wells).  This program, combined with the acquisition of Trigger Resources, resulted in a tremendous improvement in the finding, development and acquisition cost of reserves, which dropped 58% to $11.76 per boe (based on proved plus probable reserves).  


Net Loss


The Trust experienced significant losses due to the writedown of goodwill ($76.4 million), ceiling test impairments primarily due to the difference between fair-market and book value of assets sold subsequent to year-end ($26.3 million) and continuing high depletion, depreciation and accretion (“DD&A”) expenses ($124.4 million). This resulted in a net loss of $142.0 million.  However, it is positive that DD&A expense per boe was lower this year by 26% at $33.22, even after the inclusion of the ceiling test write down.

Conference Call & Webcast


Enterra will host a conference call and webcast Thursday, April 3, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. MT (11:00 a.m. ET) to discuss the Trust’s 2007 results and provide an update on the 2008 plan.

Barrels of Oil Equivalent


Barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
