FIELD ACTIVITIES / Naftex Energy announces Production STart-Up

VANCOUVER, Feb. 5 /CNW/ - NAFTEX ENERGY CORPORATION
Trading Symbol: NFTX

NAFTEX ENERGY CORPORATION (the ''Company'') is pleased to announce that
oil production commenced from the Rabeh-1 Well in the West Esh El Mallaha
(WEEM) Development Lease, on February 2, 1998. The well is currently flowing
on 1/2'' choke with an average rate of production of 2,000 BOPD. Production
levels may be increased after monitoring the well's performance.

Trucking of the oil has commenced to the nearby Gebel Zeit terminal on
the Gulf of Suez coast using Geisum Oil Company facilities. The Company is of
the opinion that the Early Production Facility installed and operated by
Alpine Oil Services-Egypt (a subsidiary of a Calgary based company) is the
most technically advanced and cost effective facility in the area.

The Joint Operating Company is currently negotiating with different
drilling contractors for the lease of a rig to start the scheduled four-well
drilling program. The planned WEEM 3D and 2D seismic programs are expected to
commence by mid-April this year.

A total of 54,047,191 common shares of the Company is presently issued
and outstanding.

On behalf of the Board of Directors
NAFTEX ENERGY CORPORATION
