CALGARY, April 30, 2012 /CNW/ - Advantage Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSX: AAV) ("Advantage") and Longview Oil Corp. (TSX: LNV) ("Longview") announce that Advantage has entered into an agreement relating to the sale of 8.3 million Longview Common Shares owned by Advantage to a syndicate of underwriters led by RBC Capital Markets and FirstEnergy Capital Corporation at a price of $9.00 per share for gross proceeds of CDN $74.7 million. Closing of the offering is anticipated to be on or about May 22, 2012.

Longview will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares. Following closing, Advantage will own approximately 21.15 million Common Shares of Longview, representing an interest of approximately 45.2% in Longview. Longview currently pays a monthly dividend in the amount of $0.05 per Common Share. The first dividend that purchasers under this offering shall be eligible to receive will be for the month of May, anticipated to be paid on June 15, 2012 to shareholders of record as at May 31, 2012.

Use of Proceeds & Updated Guidance

All of the net proceeds from the offering will be received by Advantage and will initially be used to reduce Advantage's existing bank indebtedness.  Funds will subsequently be utilized to finance additional delineation drilling and development of the Middle Montney formation at Glacier where recent drilling has resulted in the discovery of several liquids rich natural gas horizons (see Advantage press releases dated March 15, 2012 and March 22, 2012).  Recent analysis of geological and engineering data obtained from the Middle Montney wells drilled during Q1 2012 indicates that further evaluation is warranted to enhance our understanding of the economic potential of this liquids rich resource.  A total of 3 Middle Montney horizontal wells will be drilled during H2 2012 with the potential for more wells to be included in H1 2013.

For the 12 months ending June 30, 2013, our capital program is estimated to be approximately $75 million which will include delineation drilling in the Middle Montney and the completion of 14 existing wells drilled during our recent Phase IV drilling program.  Production at Glacier will be maintained between 90 mmcfd to 100 mmcfd subject to the natural gas price environment.

Guidance for the 12 months ending June 30, 2013 is estimated as follows:
