PENGROWTH ENERGY TRUST FILES PRELIMINARY SHELF PROSPECTUS FOR
OFFERING OF TRUST UNITS AND SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS
(Calgary Sept 8, 2006) /CCN Matthews/ Pengrowth Corporation, administrator of Pengrowth
Energy Trust, (collectively Pengrowth) is pleased to announce that it has filed a Preliminary
Short Form Base Shelf Prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and a
Registration Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Once the
prospectus is cleared and the shelf registration statement becomes effective, these filings will
allow Pengrowth to offer and issue Trust Units and Subscription Receipts (collectively the
Securities) by way of one or more Prospectus Supplements at any time during the 25-month period
that the prospectus remains in place. The Securities will be issued from time to time at the
discretion of Pengrowth, with an aggregate offering amount not to exceed Cdn. $2,000,000,000.
Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds of the offerings will be
added to Pengrowths general funds and will be used for general business purposes. The terms of
such future offerings, if any, would be established at the time of such offering. A Registration
Statement relating to these Securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become
effective. These Securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, before the
Registration Statement becomes effective. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell
or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities, nor shall there be any sale of the
Securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
Pengrowth Energy Trust is one of the largest energy royalty trusts in North America. Trust units
trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (PGF.un) and the New York Stock Exchange (PGH). Through the
purchase of trust units, unitholders participate in the ownership of a large portfolio of crude oil
and natural gas properties, receiving the net cash flow (after expenses and certain other
withholdings), paid monthly, as the oil and gas reserves are produced. Pengrowths property
portfolio is one of the strongest in the energy trust sector with a proved plus probable reserve
life index of 10.6 years and a reserve base of 219.4 million barrels of oil equivalent. Pengrowths
assets are characterized by low decline rates and high development potential allowing for stable
production.
