Company continues to develop and drill prospects in South Louisiana and has
recently drilled the first two of potentially five exploration wells in the
Raceland Field of LaFourche Parish, Louisiana. These shallow wells generally
have objectives above 9,500 feet. The Company is contractually required to drill
three of the wells and the remaining two wells are optional. These prospects and
wells are operated by the Company and were generated by Southern Bay Energy LLC,
currently a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, prior to its merger with Geo
Resources in April of 2007. At that time a majority of these prospects were
promoted out to third parties for cash, an overriding royalty interest and
incremental reversionary interest. Accordingly, the Company only has a direct
8.5% working interest. The first well, Davaine #1, was flow tested over a two
day interval and averaged 145 BOPD and 50 MCFD over that period and has since
been shut in to allow for completion of permanent production facilities. The
second well has completion operations underway and is expected to have similar
results.</font></div>

Lodzinski, Chief Executive Officer of GeoResources, said, "The divestiture of
the Company's only Michigan property and the redeployment of the proceeds into
the Williston Basin is the latest step in our ongoing plan to focus our
technical and operational resources in our core areas. We will continue to
pursue our goals of efficiently increasing cash flow, reserves and drilling
potential in our core areas. We are pleased with the continued Austin Chalk
drilling success in our institutional Partnership. Further, we believe the
43,000 net acres we control in the play has both shallow and deep exploration
potential beyond the Austin Chalk section. We believe we are positioned to
realize considerable per share value resulting from both our direct working
interests and Partnership reversionary interests. Other projects including
waterflood implementation and horizontal drilling are expected to favorably
impact reserves, cash flow and per share value as we continue to expand our
acreage positions and prospect inventory. Our performance is consistent with our
business strategy. Specifically, we first build a cash flow base and initial
portfolio of drilling and development opportunities, then our management and
technical staff focus on expanding our inventory. Our drilling results
demonstrate the depth and capability of our internal geological, engineering and
operating staff and support our business model. Commensurate with growth, we
intend to retain larger direct interests, but will likely continue to promote
institutional and industry partners to subsidize our overhead, manage risk and
favorably influence finding costs. We believe our diversified approach will
allow the Company to continue to grow profitably."</font></div>

On or
before March 1, 2008, the Company expects to commence operations on the first of
two horizontal development wells in Wayne Field, the Ballantyne/Steinhaus State

area have reported initial production rates in excess of 200 BOPD and ultimate
recoveries in excess of 300 MBO. The Company estimates total drilling and

Company continues to develop and drill prospects in South Louisiana and has
recently drilled the first two of potentially five exploration wells in the
Raceland Field of LaFourche Parish, Louisiana. These shallow wells generally
have objectives above 9,500 feet. The Company is contractually required to drill
three of the wells and the remaining two wells are optional. These prospects and
wells are operated by the Company and were generated by Southern Bay Energy LLC,
currently a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, prior to its merger with Geo
Resources in April of 2007. At that time a majority of these prospects were
promoted out to third parties for cash, an overriding royalty interest and
incremental reversionary interest. Accordingly, the Company only has a direct
8.5% working interest. The first well, Davaine #1, was flow tested over a two
day interval and averaged 145 BOPD and 50 MCFD over that period and has since
been shut in to allow for completion of permanent production facilities. The
second well has completion operations underway and is expected to have similar
results.
Comments:
Frank A.
Lodzinski, Chief Executive Officer of GeoResources, said, "The divestiture of
the Company's only Michigan property and the redeployment of the proceeds into
the Williston Basin is the latest step in our ongoing plan to focus our
technical and operational resources in our core areas. We will continue to
pursue our goals of efficiently increasing cash flow, reserves and drilling
potential in our core areas. We are pleased with the continued Austin Chalk
drilling success in our institutional Partnership. Further, we believe the
43,000 net acres we control in the play has both shallow and deep exploration
potential beyond the Austin Chalk section. We believe we are positioned to
realize considerable per share value resulting from both our direct working
interests and Partnership reversionary interests. Other projects including
waterflood implementation and horizontal drilling are expected to favorably
impact reserves, cash flow and per share value as we continue to expand our
acreage positions and prospect inventory. Our performance is consistent with our
business strategy. Specifically, we first build a cash flow base and initial
portfolio of drilling and development opportunities, then our management and
technical staff focus on expanding our inventory. Our drilling results
demonstrate the depth and capability of our internal geological, engineering and
operating staff and support our business model. Commensurate with growth, we
intend to retain larger direct interests, but will likely continue to promote
institutional and industry partners to subsidize our overhead, manage risk and
favorably influence finding costs. We believe our diversified approach will
allow the Company to continue to grow profitably."
