Dejour adds two new wells at Woodrush Project

Company Now Producing 630 BOE Daily

Updates Market on Peace River Arch Winter Exploration Program, And Piceance Basin Developments

CALGARY, ALBERTA, September 18, 2008 -- Dejour Enterprises Ltd. (Amex: DEJ / TSX-V: DEJ). announces that two additional wells from its Woodrush project in NE BC are being brought on line for production today, which brings its total production to 630 barrels of oil equivalent daily, using a standard 6000 cubic ft. of gas to 1 barrel of oil ratio. In addition, the company has announced its winter exploration plan for its Peace River Arch property and developments in the Piceance Basin.

The Company’s current production levels suggest that operating netback revenue per month by December 2008 will reach a level of C$1.1m assumed completion of tie-ins described below. The netback is equal to the gross revenues less royalties, lease operating expenses and transportation costs.

Dejour’s Chairman and CEO Robert L. Hodgkinson said, “We are very excited by the increased production these wells represent. We anticipate further production increases in the coming months, and 2009 promises to be a good year for Dejour based on the success we have had in developing our properties.”

Assuming tie-ins described below, the Company’s current anticipated production status is as follows:

Peace River Arch Winter Exploration Program

The program is expected to begin in early to mid December 2008 depending on winter freeze. In this area, field work is typically from December through March, and requires cold temperatures for drilling. Dejour plans to drill and complete into pipe 4 development wells at its Woodrush facility, continue to evaluate the Montney sand/shale potential of its recent land purchases (6350 acres,100% owned), and potentially drill up to 2 additional wells at either Saddle Hills or Carson Creek pending production profiles and current negotiations. This winter program (budgeted at C$10M) is expected to be funded by current and future cash flow and credit facilities.

Piceance Basin

Dejour Energy (USA) Corp., COO Harrison Blacker reports progress in completing site specific engineering and geological assessment of several of Dejour land blocks, including the processing of drilling permits at the Company's Roan Creek, Williams Fork project where 7 drill sites have been chosen to host 50-80 wells. Operations are to commence in 2009.

Dejour Energy USA has now categorized its landholdings into 5 separate business units:

Williams Fork resource gas (1500+wells) 30,000 acres 72%WI Dejour operator
Mancos B Shale resource gas 22,000 acres 72%WI Dejour operator
Weber Subthrust wildcat oil 74,000 acres 72%WI Dejour operator
Greentown/Cane Creek resource gas/oil 14,000 acres 25%WI Fidelity operator
Re-sale lands gas/oil 150,000 acres 25%WI Retamco operator

The company is pleased to have established an operating presence in this basin and has now been successful in attracting a highly qualified and experienced staff to prudently execute the profit maximization model associated with each business unit. This includes preparation to drill, economic assessment of joint ventures and farm out opportunities, pipeline access and divestitures under attractive terms.

Charles Dove, P. Geophysics and Harrison Blacker, M. Engineering are the 'qualified persons' for this report.

BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
