TEZ Triton Energy Corp.

Triton Energy Corp. ("Triton" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:TEZ) announced
today that it has reached an agreement to sell to an arm's length party 100% of
its interests in three producing wells and associated land in the Inland area
for $3.25 million in cash, subject to closing adjustments, effective October 1,
2008. Closing is subject to certain conditions including executive approval of
the purchaser, due diligence, and execution of a final purchase and sale
agreement. Triton's current production from the Inland property is approximately
750 mcf of natural gas per day (125 barrels of oil equivalent per day). The
proceeds from this sale will be used to fund Triton's ongoing exploration and
development program. Closing is expected to occur on or before November 20,
2008.


At Newton, Triton has received pipeline permit approval for the tie-in of a
previously announced, operated 100% working interest dual zone gas well. Tie-in
operations are commencing with production expected to commence on or about
December 1, 2008. At Sullivan Lake, Triton is proceeding with the tie in of a
previously announced operated 100% working interest light oil well with
production expected to commence on or about December 1, 2008. At Lanaway, tie in
operations are proceeding on a non- operated 50% working interest dual zone
light oil and natural gas well with production expected to commence on or about
November 15, 2008.


With these three (2.5 net) wells successfully on production and accounting for
the sale of the production at Inland, Triton anticipates a 2008 year-end exit
production rate of approximately 1,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day.


Triton is a Calgary, Alberta based corporation engaged in the exploration,
development and production of petroleum and natural gas. The Corporation's
common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol
"TEZ".

currency fluctuations, the ability to implement corporate strategies, the state
of domestic capital markets, the ability to obtain financing, incorrect

Disclosure provided herein in respect of barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may
be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of
6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to 1 barrel of oil is based on an energy
equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does
not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
