Salt Lake City, January 14, 2013 – FX Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FXEN) today reported that drilling has commenced on the Mieczewo-1K exploration well. The well is a planned test of a Rotliegend structure at a projected depth of 3,360 meters. The Mieczewo-1K well is located in the western part of the 850,000 acre Fences concession, where the Polish Oil and Gas Company (PGNiG) is the owner of concession and operator and holds a 51% interest; the Company holds a 49% interest.
FX Energy also reported that the Tuchola-3K well which began drilling in late December of 2012 is currently at a depth of 2,053 meters. The Tuchola-3K well is planned to test a Main Dolomite target at approximately 2,550 meters and an independent Devonian oil target at a depth of 3,180-3,820 meters. The Tuchola-3K well is located on one of four blocks that comprise the 880,000 acre Edge concession area in northern Poland.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees. For example, exploration, drilling, development, construction or other projects or operations may be subject to the successful completion of technical work; environmental, governmental or partner approvals; equipment availability, or other things that are or may be beyond the control of the Company. Operations that are anticipated, planned or scheduled may be changed, delayed, take longer than expected, fail to accomplish intended results, or not take place at all. Actual production over time may be more or less than estimates of reserves, including proved and P50 or other reserve measures.
In carrying out exploration it is necessary to identify and evaluate risks and potential rewards. This identification and evaluation is informed by science but remains inherently uncertain. Subsurface features that appear to be possible traps may not exist at all, may be smaller than interpreted, may not contain hydrocarbons, may not contain the quantity or quality estimated, or may have reservoir conditions that do not allow adequate recovery to render a discovery commercial or profitable. Forward-looking statements about the size, potential or likelihood of discovery with respect to exploration targets are certainly not guarantees of discovery or of the actual presence or recoverability of hydrocarbons, or of the ability to produce in commercial or profitable quantities. Estimates of potential typically do not take into account all the risks of drilling and completion nor do they take into account the fact that hydrocarbon volumes are never 100% recoverable. Such estimates are part of the complex process of trying to measure and evaluate risk and reward in an uncertain industry.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties outside FX Energy’s control. Actual events or results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of additional contingencies and uncertainties to which information respecting future events is subject, see FX Energy’s SEC reports or visit FX Energy’s website at www.fxenergy.com.
