A propos de Shrek

Lorsque Shrek épouse la princesse Fiona, la dernière chose qu'il avait en tÃªte était qu'il deviendrait probablement un jour le prochain Roi de Fort Fort Lointain. Lorsque le beau-père de Shrek, le roi Harold, décède, c'est bien ce à quoi Shrek doit faire face. Il doit impérativement trouver un roi digne de ce poste avec l'aide de ses fidèles compagnons, l'Ã‚ne et le Chat Potté. Mais le candidat le plus prometteur, le cousin de Fiona, Artie, s'avère Ãªtre un fumiste moyen âgeux et pédant, bien plus compliqué à gérer que prévu...

Le succès des aventures de Shrek remonte à la sortie en 2001 du premier film de la série qui avait été récompensé d'un Academy Award en tant que meilleur film d'animation. Le deuxième opus, baptisé Shrek 2, fut le troisième plus gros succès cinématographique de toute l'histoire du box office américain. A propos de Gameloft Gameloft est un éditeur et un développeur international de jeux vidéo pour téléphones mobiles.

Fondé en 1999 et aujourd'hui leader dans son domaine, Gameloft conçoit des jeux pour les téléphones incluant les technologies Java, Brew ou Symbian, dont le parc installé devrait dépasser deux milliards d'unités en 2008.( source Arc Group)

MSC.Software's MD Solutions Selected by Honda R&D Co. Ltd Automobile R&D CenterExpanded Licensing Agreement Enables Streamlined Product Development

SANTA ANA, Calif., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MSC.Software Corp. , the leading global provider of enterprise simulation solutions, today announced an agreement with Honda R&D Automobile Development center in which Honda adopted MSC.Software's MD Solutions (which include MD Nastran, MD Adams and MD Patran). Honda is renowned for their quality products that are enjoyed by consumers around the world.

Unified Power Format, Open Analog Standards and Liberty Library Enhancements to Be Featured at 19th EDA Interoperability ForumMarkus Levy, President of EEMBC and the Multicore Association, Will Deliver Keynote Address

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synopsys, Inc. , a world leader in semiconductor design software, today announced that its 19th electronic design automation (EDA) Interoperability Developers' Forum will be held on Thursday, April 26th in Santa Clara, Calif. It will feature discussions about open analog standards, the Unified Power Format (UPF) and Liberty(TM) library advancements. The Forum provides an open environment for EDA tool developers, IC design engineers and IP providers to discuss the critical topic of interoperability. Anyone who wants to attend is welcome.

The Forum's keynote address, titled, "Making Multicore Work and Measuring its Benefits," will be delivered by Markus Levy, president of the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) and the Multicore Association.

"Multicore technology offers immense opportunities for many facets of the embedded and high-performance computing industry," said Mr. Levy. "To realize multicore technology's potential for increased performance and reduced power consumption, significant design challenges related to power and inter-core communication must be addressed. I welcome the opportunity to present the latest news on multicore technology at this event."

The Forum will begin with the session, "The Power of One." Leading EDA vendors are using the industry-standard Unified Power Format (UPF) to enable fully interoperable low-power tool flows. This session will bring the audience up to speed on UPF's technical capabilities through a technical tutorial and panel discussion.

The general session will feature important new modeling innovations approved by the Liberty Technical Advisory Board (TAB) in December 2006, as well as insights into what is coming. Synopsys' R&D team will outline important new Library Compiler(TM) capabilities that help library developers and characterization tool suppliers ensure high-quality Composite Current Source (CCS) models by performing automated validation and closed-loop correlation checking. These new capabilities give users unsurpassed flexibility in delivering verified libraries at scaled voltage or temperature corners for tool flows from multiple vendors.

The Forum will culminate in a session focused on open, interoperable solutions for analog design. The need to improve analog design productivity and quality through the use of constraint-based analog EDA tools is driving the need for standardized constraints-sharing. The first half of the session will present the benefits and challenges of establishing an open constraint standard. The second half will consist of a panel discussion featuring the founding members and supporting companies of the recently announced Interoperable PCell Libraries (IPL) project.

"As the benefits of OpenAccess are starting to come to fruition in the design community, now is the time to focus on the next steps," said Jim Solomon, member of the board of directors at Ciranova. "Tool interoperability for analog design can be enabled by establishing standards in areas such as open analog constraints, open scripting language, and open Process Design Kits including Pcells. This Forum has become an invaluable venue for education, discussion and leadership centered on analog openness." Mr. Solomon is also on the boards of Silicon Navigator, Gemini Design Technology, Applied Wave Research, Nascentric, and Pyxis Technologies.

"Industry standards for low power and analog design continue to be pressing priorities for the design community," said Rich Goldman, vice president of Strategic Market Development at Synopsys. "This Forum demonstrates Synopsys' continued commitment to interoperability in our industry. All are invited to attend this collaborative event and participate in the discussion and exchange of information."

CAE sells simulation equipment to Flight Training Finance, LLC for a total value of C$20 million

MONTREAL, April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- (NYSE: CGT; TSX: CAE) - CAE today announced it has sold a new CAE 7000 Series Embraer 190 full-flight simulator to Flight Training Finance (FTF), LLC, a specialized simulator leasing company. In addition, CAE will be providing to FTF a used CAE-built Embraer 145 FFS which is being upgraded.

At list price for the new simulator, the contract is valued at C $20 million and brings the total of new full-flight simulator (FFS) sales that CAE has announced in fiscal 2008 to three.

Concentric(R) Protects Businesses from the High Costs of Spam, Email Viruses, and Denial of Service Attacks with Enhanced Perimeter Email Security ServicesPerimeter Email Protection Provides SMBs with an Affordable Solution to Increase the Security of their Networks and Protect their Email Infrastructure Investments

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Concentric today announced the expansion of the company's messaging, collaboration, DNS, and hosting services for small to medium businesses with Perimeter Email Protection (PEP). The service provides email security, email filtering, and delivery back-up for businesses that own and manage on-premise email servers. By leveraging PEP, businesses can increase network security and protect existing email investments without expensive infrastructure enhancements.

Perimeter Email Protection is a complete suite of email server security applications that includes tools to filter and authenticate incoming email before it reaches the customer's email infrastructure. By stopping spam and email based attacks at the perimeter, PEP can reduce email load and spam by 90 percent or more. PEP prevents spam, viruses, directory harvesting, denial of service or dictionary attacks, fraud, phishing schemes, and other debilitating email bombs or attacks from reaching the corporate email server. PEP and PEP Filtering ensures that only clean, valid and properly addressed email is sent to company email servers for final delivery.

"We are very pleased with the enthusiastic response we are getting from our PEP customers. With email based attacks and spam on the rise, businesses should look at a cost-effective perimeter solution like PEP, rather than costly upgrades to their email server infrastructure. The new PEP Filtering and Premium Junk Mail Filters enhancements have been well received and provide an end-to-end solution that is easy-to-use and extends the life of existing investments," said Barbara Branaman, president of Concentric.

"Concentric PEP has served flawlessly as our frontline of defense in blocking DOS attacks and eliminating the high 'bogus' user email volumes we were experiencing. We have over 300 email user accounts, and when we enabled PEP we immediately saw a drop from over 60,000 emails a day to less than 8,000 a day. Our mail server is back to running fast and efficiently. Since our business includes online retail sales, we cannot afford to lose even one customer email communication. With PEP we have the peace of mind that all our emails will be stored if our email server goes down," said Don Winant, Gristedes' CIO.

PEP Filtering, in addition to validating users, filters every incoming message for spam and viruses. Premium Junk Mail Filtering is an add-on for users who wish to use a personal filter based on the specific characteristics of email they receive. Because each user's email profile is different, the Premium Filter builds a customized database for each user and is more effective at dealing with certain kinds of spam because it learns not only what is spam, but also what is not spam based on the user's individual email history.

The PEP delivery back-up service insures that a company never misses a critical inbound message. PEP spools incoming mail and redelivers it once the mail server is back online. PEP includes real-time monitoring and incoming email analysis and provides email administrators with daily, hourly and 30-day historical summaries of message statistics, as well as other valuable information about their account.

Pricing and Availability

PEP User Validation is included with most Concentric accounts. There is no charge to activate PEP User Validation for most account holders. PEP Filtering is an add-on that provides junk and virus filtering for $1 per user per month. PEP Premium Junk Mail Filtering can be added to one or more user accounts for an additional $1 per user per month. PEP can be completely configured and managed online and professional services installation and management packages are available to make administration Impossibly Easy(TM).

SupportSoft Broadband Installation Solution Selected as Finalist for Prestigious IEC InfoVision AwardSupportSoft SmartAccess(TM) Software Honored in Association with Broadband World Forum Asia

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SupportSoft, Inc. , a leading provider of software and services that automate the resolution of technology problems, today announced that its SmartAccess software has been selected by the International Engineering Consortium (IEC) as a finalist for its prestigious 2007 InfoVision award in the Network and Services Management and Operations category. Other finalists in the category include Alcatel-Lucent, BT Group Plc, Huawei, Redback Networks and China Netcom Group Labs.

The award, which will be presented on Wednesday, the 6th of June, 2007 at Broadband World Forum Asia held in Beijing, honors technologies, applications, products, and services judged to be the most unique and beneficial to the telecommunications industry. With hundreds of submissions for the eight categories, the highly-coveted award gives tribute to those companies catalyzing positive change in technology, business, and academia, in line with the IEC's mission.

This is the third time the IEC has recognized SupportSoft software. The Company's Service Automation Suite(TM) software won the International Engineering Consortium's (IEC) 2006 InfoVision award for best Network and Services Management and Operations solution at Broadband World Forum Asia in May, 2006. And the Company's ServiceGateway(TM) software won the IEC 2006 InfoVision award for best Network and Services Management and Operations solution at Broadband World Forum Europe in October, 2006.

SupportSoft SmartAccess lets broadband service subscribers determine if their computer system qualifies for a high-speed connection, and then accelerates broadband installation by automating the service activation process. Because the solution is entirely Web-based, service providers using SmartAccess have the flexibility to dramatically simplify the installation process for their customers. As a result, subscribers can begin to experience the benefits of their new broadband connection more quickly, while service providers can be assured of higher installation success rates and fewer, costly technical support calls.

"SupportSoft is honored to have its third product recognized by the IEC InfoVision as a standard for excellence in services management and network operations," said James Morehead, vice president of product management and marketing for SupportSoft. "Service providers face different issues in different parts of the globe. In Europe and North America, the key goal is to decrease operational costs while increasing customer satisfaction. However, in China and other parts of Asia, scalability is the key to successful broadband delivery. No matter the case, installation automation is key. SmartAccess is designed to help service providers scale to meet the demand of broadband growth by automating service installation, and help service providers grow in the future by providing a platform for future service delivery."

Oracle(R) Utilities Network Management System Positioned in Leaders Quadrant

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oracle today announced that Oracle(R) Utilities Network Management System (formerly SPL Outage & Distribution Management) has been positioned in the Leaders quadrant in the Gartner report, "Magic Quadrant for Outage Management Systems, 1H07" published in March 2007.(1)

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020718/ORCLLOGO )

In making the evaluation, Gartner used the following criteria when evaluating each company's ability to execute: "product/service, overall viability, sales execution/pricing, market responsiveness and track record, marketing execution, customer experience and operations."

According to the Gartner report, "Leaders are those vendors that would normally be included in shortlists for outage management system products for all types of utilities worldwide. They perform profitably, grow their revenue and have a presence in all major markets. Their functionality is above average and their technology and scalability are 'leading edge.'"

Leaders in this market have also "paired advanced technology with broad offerings or rich functionality," the report said.

Oracle President Charles Phillips commented, "We knew when we acquired SPL WorldGroup that we were adding a market-leading suite of utility solutions. We are gratified by the continued success of the best-of-breed products now offered under the banner of Oracle's Utilities Global Business Unit."

Larry Hagewood, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Utilities Global Business Unit, said, "The Oracle Utilities outage management product, either as a stand-alone solution or in conjunction with other solutions such as Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing, Work and Asset Management and Mobile Workforce Management, is a result of Oracle's commitment to the development of products that can be used individually, but can also be merged with other products and services to provide seamless and efficient business processes across the entire enterprise."

"We believe Gartner's analysis provides important guidance for utilities worldwide that are seeking to enhance customer service and reliability while achieving cost efficiencies, improved regulatory compliance and other important goals," Hagewood said.

The Gartner report commented that in selecting technology partners, in addition to "focusing on criteria that will warrant customer responsiveness, reliability improvement, operational efficiency and cost reduction," outage management system users "must evaluate vendor products and services to ensure the scalability and flexibility needed to accommodate changes in evolving distribution operation best practices."

JD Sports Selects Oracle(R) Retail Applications to Help Drive Business Growth and Improve ProfitabilityUK Sports Fashion & Casual Wear Retailer to Optimize Inventory Management and Enhance Visibility into Merchandise Performance

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JD Sports, a leading specialty retailer of sports fashion and casual wear, has selected Oracle(R) Retail applications to help drive sales and enhance profitability through better management of merchandising and planning processes across its 360 stores in the UK and Ireland, Oracle announced today.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020718/ORCLLOGO )

The Oracle Retail project is part of JD Sports' larger strategy to create a standard set of best practice planning processes that will support the development and growth of the business. Previously, the retailer was using systems that lacked the scalability and efficiency to manage growing inventory levels and were unable to provide timely insight into how well merchandise was performing. This was having a negative impact on overall profitability and making it difficult for the retailer to maximize gross margin dollars.

"We saw a real opportunity to become highly agile in our responses to customer demands through improved planning and forecasting," said Brian Small, Group Finance Director of the John David Group. "It was important to improve visibility across all channels, so we wanted the ability to plan seasonal stock targets at category level to manage both top-down and bottom-up planning. We wanted to improve sales and profit density in stores through more accurate management of markdowns and reduced stock levels. We quickly identified Oracle Retail as a strategic, scalable planning system which best met our requirements for a quick deployment, delivering rapid value and allowing us to adopt a best practice model for planning that will help us to deliver a consistent high-quality shopping experience to our customers."

JD Sports plans to use a phased approach for rolling out the Oracle Retail applications to its business. In the first phase, the retailer will develop a standard set of best practice planning and forecasting processes based around the Oracle Retail Merchandise Financial Planning application aimed at improving management visibility into information about sales performance. The retailer expects to complete first phase implementation this year and as a result will be able to generate more accurate forecasts of consumer demand in order to make strategic decisions around what to buy.

The second phase of the project, scheduled for early 2008, will deliver the implementation of Oracle Retail Category Management to enable JD Sports to implement best practice around range and assortment planning. More effective assortment planning should contribute to a reduction in stock levels and markdowns, further maximizing profits.

Small continued, "We are extremely focused on implementing best practices wherever possible. Oracle Retail's credentials with the likes of Tesco and the John Lewis Partnership clearly demonstrate how JD Sports can benefit from their experience. In addition, we have been working with a training partner to help ensure that our staff is maximizing the full value of our investment from the outset."

"We are committed to supporting JD Sports in its aim to drive business forward and deliver a consistent, high-level shopping experience to its customers," said Tarik Taman, Vice President of EMEA, Oracle Retail. "Retailers are continuing to become more aware of the impact that IT systems can have on the bottom line and how implementing strategic processes can drive corporate growth and build competitive advantage."

Oracle is the number one provider of innovative and comprehensive industry software solutions for retailers -- enabling organizations to serve their customers better by applying insight into daily business decisions for more profitable results.

HONG KONG, April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Salesforce.com , the market and technology leader in on-demand business services, today announced the release of Salesforce China Edition, a regional edition of salesforce.com's award-winning customer relationship management applications tailored specifically for the Chinese market starting at the equivalent of 888 RMB per user, per year for either five or ten users. Since salesforce.com launched its Asia business in 2005, many Chinese companies, including Metlife China, Digital China, Forex Capital Markets Asia and Protime Consulting, have already experienced success with Salesforce CRM.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050216/SFW105LOGO )

"Salesforce has dramatically improved visibility into our Hong Kong and Chinese operations and is helping us close more deals every day," said Ornit Niv, Managing Director of Forex Capital Markets Asia. "In addition, we have seen marked improvement in the productivity of our employees - the easy to use interface allows our employees to access the single, latest view of customer information anytime, anywhere, and from any device."

"Salesforce China Edition is uniquely positioned to be a catalyst for growth for the emerging generation of Chinese entrepreneurs," said Marc Benioff, Chairman and CEO of salesforce.com at the Salesforce China Edition launch in Hong Kong. "A high-growth, fast-moving economy like China's requires business applications that can adapt quickly and scale efficiently. We are responding to the demands of Chinese customers with a product that delivers value, success and the guarantee of world-class enterprise quality and trust at a price that is affordable for businesses of any size."

Beyond the introduction of Salesforce China Edition, salesforce.com has proven its commitment to investing in Greater China by opening its first Chinese office in Hong Kong in October of 2006. Salesforce.com has had a presence in the APAC region since 2003 and already has a number of customers.

Salesforce China Edition - Bringing Enterprise-Quality Business Applications to China

Salesforce China Edition makes the leading multi-tenant, on-demand CRM solution available for over 10 million small and medium businesses in China. Salesforce China Edition extends salesforce.com's vision for on-demand computing to China by releasing a lower-priced product in a single language, Simplified Chinese. The rapid pace at which the Chinese market is expanding demands that business applications keep up with this pace of innovation in order to be successful. For this reason, Salesforce China Edition and its on- demand, multi-tenant model is well-suited for the Chinese market because it can be deployed and scaled quickly, and customized to keep up with continually evolving business goals and objectives. Best of all, the applications and customizations benefit from the universal, automatic upgrades that are possible because of salesforce.com's multi-tenant architecture. Finally, time to value and deployment costs are kept at a minimum because IT departments are not saddled with the hardware and software deployment and maintenance burdens associated with traditional, on premise solutions - with Salesforce, IT departments can focus on innovation, not infrastructure.

Under the Hood - Salesforce China Edition

All of the key applications businesses need to run marketing, sales and customer service departments effectively are included in Salesforce China Edition. First, Salesforce Marketing helps companies plan targeted emails with professional-looking HTML email templates. In addition, Salesforce Marketing allows companies to capture leads coming in through the company website and distribute those leads to the sales teams.

Salesforce Automation, also included in Salesforce China Edition, is an easy to use application that helps businesses manage their sales team, data and processes. Salesforce keeps sales teams organized and working together so customers receive the attention they need, deals are closed faster and opportunity milestones and opportunity-related interactions are tracked efficiently. To further assist sales teams, Salesforce China Edition acts as the on-demand resource for critical business materials by providing a common document repository to provide instant access to the most recent versions of sales and marketing documents like product sheets, presentations and contracts.

The final component needed to achieve a 360-degree customer view is Salesforce Service & Support, which enables companies to enhance their customer's experience by drawing on a shared customer history through sales, marketing and service. Included in Salesforce China Edition, Salesforce Service & Support enables users to create and document cases to ensure that customers get top-notch service quickly and that service level agreements are met.

Finally, Salesforce China Edition enables companies to gain real value from sales and marketing data with powerful, real-time analytics. Since the reports are quick and easy to access with up to date information, management can make decisions quickly and effectively. With Salesforce China Edition, companies can also calculate win rates, sales pipeline, service resolution times, coverage ratios, actual vs. goal comparisons, and much more.

Developer Success

Not only does Salesforce China Edition bring Salesforce applications to Chinese companies, it opens Hong Kong and mainland China to the 35,000 innovators of the Apex Developers Network (ADN). In turn, the large numbers of developers in Hong Kong and mainland China can now tap into an international ecosystem of 29,800 salesforce.com customers in need of tailored applications and solutions. The flexibility of the Apex platform and power of Apex Code allows developers to build and deploy any application on-demand, while the AppExchange marketplace enables developers to go to market with these applications.

Also, the Apex platform enables Salesforce to be easily customized and integrated into an organization's IT architecture to meet their unique business needs. Salesforce China Edition builds on the platform of Apex to enable easy integration with Microsoft Outlook and Office, Lotus Notes and multiple applications from the AppExchange marketplace. In addition, the application can be customized on both the application and individual user level including custom tabs, fields, objects, drag and drop custom layouts and embedded mash-ups - many customizations can be made by a simple point and click.

Pricing and Availability

Salesforce China Edition is available today in a 5 user version for $576 USD per year or a 10 user version for $1152 USD per year. On a per user basis, this is the equivalent of 888 RMB per user, per year. The product is available for purchase exclusively with a USD credit card after a free 30 day trial where companies can test drive Salesforce China Edition without any downloads or installs.

Brigham Exploration Announces Williston Basin Joint Venture

AUSTIN, Texas, April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brigham Exploration Company announced the closing of a joint venture agreement with Northern Oil and Gas providing for Brigham's participation in approximately 30,300 gross and 24,350 net acres in the Williston Basin. Roughly 5,120 gross and 3,000 net acres are located in Mountrail County North Dakota, providing potential step out and extensional drilling to recent high rate producing EOG Resources, Inc. Bakken oil discoveries. In Sheridan County Montana, Brigham and Northern will develop and explore an area with existing production from multiple producing horizons. A portion of the Sheridan County acreage is under approximately 85 square miles of 3-D seismic data previously acquired by Brigham. Brigham anticipates drilling at least four 2007 wells as part of the joint venture.

Mountrail County, North Dakota Acreage

Brigham expects to participate in at least two horizontal Mountrail County Bakken tests this year, the first of which should commence in the third quarter, in an attempt to extend Bakken productivity established in the area by EOG. Brigham and Northern jointly control acreage in 5,120 gross and 3,000 net acres spread across 19 sections, and in three of the sections the companies control a majority interest. The southernmost acreage tract is within four miles of EOG's production, and is adjacent to currently drilling and recently permitted sections. Based on subsurface well control and mapping of the area, Brigham and Northern believe that their acreage has a good probability for strong Bakken production.

Given Northern's acreage investments in the area, terms of the agreement provide Brigham with the opportunity to drill to earn in the acreage block. As such, Brigham must commence at least one well in 2007 and must drill a total of 3 net wells to earn the balance of the acreage. Under the agreement, Northern has the right to participate and/or back-in with up to a total of 37% in the first net well and up to 32.5% in the second two net wells. Brigham will own a minimum of 75% in the balance of the acreage, with Northern owning and having the right to participate with the other 25%.

Based on current data obtained from the North Dakota Industrial Commission, Department of Mineral Resources, EOG has drilled six Bakken wells in the area, with three additional wells currently drilling, and another twelve wells permitted to be drilled. Initial production rates for four of the wells have been reported to date, ranging from 463 barrels of oil and 128 Mcf of natural gas per day to 1,800 barrels of oil and 457 Mcf of natural gas per day, with an average initial rate of 1,049 barrels of oil and 278 Mcf of natural gas per day. The first well, which tested at an initial rate of 463 barrels per day, was last reported to be producing approximately 304 barrels of oil per day after 10 months of production. After producing for three to ten months, production from the three initial wells appears to have averaged 303 barrels of oil per day, and the three wells have reportedly produced a combined 133,430 barrels of oil to date.

Brigham currently anticipates at least two Mountrail County joint venture wells commencing in 2007, the first during the third quarter, with the second expected to commence early in the fourth quarter. Although Brigham's working interest in the first two wells is still to be determined based on the ultimate location of the wells, it's anticipated that Brigham's working interest in these wells will range between 10% and 51%. Assuming all of the acreage is successfully drilled on 640 acre spacing, 19 gross or 4.7 net wells could be drilled by Brigham and Northern to fully develop the joint venture acreage.

Sheridan County, Montana Acreage

Brigham expects to drill at least two wells in the Sheridan County joint venture acreage during 2007, the first of which is expected to commence in the third quarter. Brigham and Northern jointly control approximately 25,180 gross or 21,350 net acres as part of the joint venture. In addition, Brigham controls approximately 70,000 additional net acres to the south, all of which is located in Sheridan and Roosevelt Counties, Montana.

As part of the Northern joint venture in Sheridan County, Brigham expects to operate both 2007 Sheridan County wells. The first well is likely to be a Mission Canyon development well offsetting another operator's Mission Canyon well that has produced approximately 200,000 barrels of oil to date. The Mission Canyon objective is found at a depth of approximately 7,600 feet, and it's likely Brigham will drill this well horizontally with approximately 3,000 feet of lateral displacement. The second well in Sheridan County may also be a Mission Canyon test, or possibly a test of a Red River structure, which has established quality Red River production. The Red River is encountered at a depth of approximately 11,600 feet, and quality Red River producers in the area have produced from 250,000 to over 1,000,000 barrels of oil. Based on existing production combined with subsurface and 3-D seismic mapping, Brigham believes that the Sheridan County acreage provides excellent potential for the discovery and development of significant oil and natural gas.

Given Northern's acreage investments in the area, terms of the agreement also provide Brigham with the opportunity to drill to earn in the acreage block. As such, Brigham is to commence one well by year end 2007 and by 2008 will be subject to a 120 day continuous development provision in order to earn additional acreage. In the first well, Brigham will have a 90% working interest, with Northern expected to participate with a 10% working interest. Northern will also retain a 30% back in after payout on Brigham's interest. Brigham will own a 75% working interest in the second net well drilled, with Northern having the right to participate with the 25% working interest it retains and Northern will receive a 10% back in after payout. In all other wells, Brigham will retain 75% with Northern retaining a 25% working interest. Brigham currently anticipates commencing its first Sheridan County joint venture well in the third quarter, with the second well expected to commence during the fourth quarter.

Bud Brigham, the Chairman, President and CEO stated, "We're very excited about our joint venture with Northern. Subsequent to these joint ventures, we now control approximately 160,000 gross and over 144,000 net acres in the Williston Basin, providing substantial option value for our shareholders. Importantly, this joint venture provides us with specific opportunities to drill and develop significant proved reserves to positively impact our finding costs and provide net asset value growth in 2007. Furthermore, our activity and experience here will benefit us as we continue to develop our larger Williston Basin acreage position."
