Canadian Superior Releases Third Quarter Report

Canadian Superior continues aggressive development in Western Canada and focuses on commencement of drilling offshore Trinidad. Canadian Superior reports record first nine months operating results - revenues up 30%, cash flow up 40%, net earnings $1.6 million.

Canadian Superior Energy says that for the first nine months of 2005 and for the third quarter of 2005 the company has been very successful in implementing our strategies for creating high impact opportunities, value and growth with the support of our shareholders. We continue to deliver shareholders a growth strategy based on our ongoing development of Western Canadian cash flows and production with a focus on our Drumheller core area, which includes our recent success in Coal Bed Methane ("CBM") production, as well as other opportunities we have developed in Western Canada combined with "High Impact" opportunities offshore Trinidad and Tobago and offshore Nova Scotia. Canadian Superior is well positioned for sustained growth as we continue to apply sound business principles in prudently managing our balance sheet in order to be well positioned to pursue our offshore Trinidad and Nova Scotia Projects, as well as continue to grow in Western Canada.

Highlights include:

- Record oil and gas revenues of $35.9 million in the first nine months of 2005, up 30% from $27.7 million in the same period in 2004, with record oil and gas revenues of $15.0 million in the third quarter of 2005, up 61% from $9.3 million in the third quarter of 2004;

- We are very honoured and privileged to have signed the Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") for "Intrepid" Block 5(c), offshore Trinidad and Tobago, on July 20, 2005 with the Government of Trinidad and Tobago;

- In July we appointed Roger De Freitas as Country Manager (Trinidad and Tobago) and in the third quarter we opened Canadian Superior's Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago drilling office;

- In July we successfully completed a private placement with gross proceeds of approximately $11 million to be used for the acquisition, drilling and development of the "Intrepid" Block 5(c) offshore Trinidad and Tobago;

- Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2005, Canadian Superior has been advised by the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board ("CNSOPB") that the Corporation's proposal to consolidate its "Mariner" (EL 2409) and "Mayflower" (EL 2406) exploration licences offshore Nova Scotia has been approved, which, when implemented, will extend the term of the "Mayflower" license and free up $10 million of work deposit capital to be applied to drilling the next "Mariner" well.

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

We are very honoured and privileged to have signed the Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") for "Intrepid" Block 5(c), offshore Trinidad and Tobago, on July 20, 2005 with the Government of Trinidad and Tobago. This provides Canadian Superior the right to explore on Block 5(c) which covers 80,041 gross acres and has significant natural gas exploration and development potential off the east coast of the island of Trinidad in this "World Class" basin where we are preparing for exploration drilling.

We are currently in the process of negotiating a rig contract to allow drilling on the "Intrepid" Block 5(c) in a timely manner. The Corporation is in the final stages of a rig selection process and is currently negotiating a formal contract in this regard, with drilling planned for the end of the first quarter of 2006. In addition, our Exploration Team has continued to evaluate and interpret detailed 3D seismic data over the "Intrepid" Block 5(c) and over nearby producing fields and has identified at least three drillable prospects and selected a number of drilling locations on these prospects. We have verified that this block has multi-tcf natural gas potential and an example of "Intrepid" Block 5(c) Seismic, at one proposed drilling location. Also, in the third quarter, in addition to working with this extensive and extremely valuable seismic data set, the Corporation has also been preparing to reprocess the data and full reprocessing of the data started in the last week of October to further assist in finalizing the geological prognosis across the block and at the proposed drilling locations. In addition, extensive offset well data has been obtained from the Trinidad and Tobago Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries and is being used to confirm data already synthesized and confirm final well design engineering.

Also in the third quarter, Canadian Superior appointed Mr. Roger De Freitas as Country Manager of operations in Trinidad and Tobago and has opened a local country office in Port of Spain. The Corporation is aggressively undertaking the necessary procurement and contracting for the provision of the various drilling services and materials and has secured the critical longer lead time casing and wellhead components for the first "Intrepid" well. The wellhead and related components, and several 1000m of casing, costing several million dollars, have been secured and paid for; and as well, the Company is in the process of transferring certain supplies and inventory from its Nova Scotia operations to Trinidad and Tobago for the first "Intrepid" well. The "Intrepid" Block 5(c) has water depths in the range of 150m to 450m and all wells in Block 5(c) will be drilled from a semisub. In preparation, the Corporation has commenced its environmental assessment and geohazard well site survey work on two of the prospects; and as recently announced, the field program is scheduled for completion in November 2005.
