FIELD ACTIVITIES / Information for Kensington Shareholders Regarding
Recent Draig Well

ASE SYMBOL: KNN.A KNN.B

JUNE 25, 1998


CALGARY, ALBERTA--Kensington Energy Ltd. ("Kensington") wishes to
advise its shareholders of additional relevant information in
response to the June 23 press release of Draig Energy Ltd.
("Draig") stating that Draig plans to place a newly-drilled gas
well in the Hanna area on production at a rate of 4 mmcf/d (3.9
mmcf/d net to Draig). Kensington shareholders should also be
aware of the following:

- this well is a horizontal well drilled into an existing gas pool
within approximately 35 meters of a Draig producing vertical well.


- this gas pool has been producing since 1965.

- Draig will be required to shut-in its vertical well resulting in
an offsetting loss of production.

- Draig's Hanna gas plant is licensed for 5.15 mmcf/d and had
throughput in April of 2.4 mmcf/d. Therefore Draig should not be
able to increase its incremental net production by 3.9 mmcf/d
through this gas plant as it currently exists unless other
production has declined since April.

Kensington's Class A Shares and Class B Shares trade on The
Alberta Stock Exchange under the symbols KNN.A and KNN.B,
respectively.
