Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Oil and Gas Reserve Estimates:

The U S Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies inThe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies, intheir filings with the SEC, to disclose only “Proved” reserves that a company hasdemonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economicallyand legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. TheCompany is prohibited from disclosing other categories of reserves in its SECCompany is prohibited from disclosing other categories of reserves in its SECfilings. We use certain terms in this press release such as "Probable” or “Possible” oiland gas reserves that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filingswith the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our SECfilings available from us at 2500 City West Blvd Suite 1300 Houston Tx 77042;filings, available from us at 2500 City West Blvd, Suite 1300, Houston, Tx 77042;Telephone: 713-935-0122. You can also obtain these filings from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330. The reserve quantities reflected above were certified by W. D. VonGonten & Company using the 1997 definitions and standards of the Society ofPetroleum Engineers and World Petroleum Congresses These definitions andPetroleum Engineers and World Petroleum Congresses. These definitions andstandards may result in estimates of proved reserves which are materially differentfrom those disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

Initiative II: Conventional Redevelopment

Acquire and develop known resources where we can apply our expertise and technology in horizontal drilling and other modern completion/production technologies:

First target has been the Giddings Field in Central Texas, which extends 30-40 miles in width and 100+ miles in length and is primarily known for its naturally fractured Austin Chalk and Georgetown formations and produced over 1 billion BOE.

The EPM team has extensive expertise in drilling and operating hundreds of horizontal wells in the Giddings Field over the last 18 years, and drilled 6 wells in fiscal 2008 Houston

Austinwells in fiscal 2008.

EPM is developing a second major project in Texas utilizing technology developed in the Tullos Field. Giddings Field

Projects involve horizontal drilling from new wells and re-entries in existing wells into the naturally fractured Austin Chalk, Georgetown & Buda formations – these formations yield high initial rates that steeply decline during first 12-24 months

O ll lt f i iti l f 5 h i t l t i 1 tOverall results from initial program of 5 horizontal re-entries, 1 grass roots horizontal and 1 work-over of an existing well as expected (EPM owns 100% WI, 80+% NRI)

Drilling & completion costs for future re-entries average $1.5 million each,Drilling & completion costs for future re entries average $1.5 million each, depending upon new well or re-entry, vertical depth, # of laterals and total # of horizontal feet drilled.

2009 Capital Expenditure Budget includes $15 million for drilling 10 re-entries in Giddings Field incremental leasing and full field test of proprietary artificial liftGiddings Field, incremental leasing and full field test of proprietary artificial lift technology.
