CALGARY, Sept. 19 /CNW/ - (PWT.UN - TSX; PWE - NYSE) Penn West Energy
Trust (the "Trust") is pleased to announce that as of 5:00 p.m. (MDT) on
September 18, 2007, approximately 30.6 million common shares of C1 Energy Ltd.
("C1") had been validly deposited pursuant to the previously announced offer
of 1329813 Alberta Ltd. (the "Offeror") (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Trust), to acquire all of the common shares of C1 including any common
shares issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any options,
performance shares or other securities in the capital of C1. The deposited
shares represent greater than 90% of the common shares of C1 on a
fully-diluted basis excluding those beneficially owned by a subsidiary of the

shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange and to apply to securities regulatory
authorities for it to cease to be a reporting issuer.
The consideration offered for each common share of C1 is $0.20 cash.
Certain of C1's assets are located in the Peace River Arch area of Alberta
near Penn West's strategic Peace River Oil Sands Project.
