exploitation of the Austin Chalk formation in the Giddings Field, Grimes County,
Texas with its completion of the Keisler #2-H horizontal dual lateral well for
an initial production rate in excess of 20 MMCFPD.&#160;&#160;This is the third
dual lateral and the ninth successful completion since closing the acquisition
of the field in February of 2007. The Company has achieved a 100% success rate
in drilling these Austin Chalk horizontal wells.&#160;&#160;Previously, the
Company reported that the Jeff Haynie was completed for 17
MMCFPD.&#160;&#160;This well has reached the 1 Billion Cubic Feet of cumulative
gas production in just 70 days, quicker than any other well the Company has
drilled, and it is continuing to produce at over 10 MMCFPD.&#160;&#160;The
significance of reaching this milestone in such a short time period is the quick
payout of the drilling capital as well as an indication of the ultimate gas
recovery from the well.&#160;&#160;Several wells in this area that have
cumulative production of 1 BCF within the first four months are reasonably
projected to have estimated ultimate reserves exceeding 5 BCF.&#160;&#160;The
Company continues to pursue its development strategy and is currently drilling
the Bax #1-H as a dual lateral well which is expected to be completed and placed
on production during the third quarter.</font></div>

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GeoResources,
Inc. Provides Operations Update
Continues
successful horizontal drilling in Texas and North Dakota
Houston, Texas, August 12, 2008
– GeoResources, Inc., (Nasdaq: GEOI), today provided an operations
update.  The Company has completed additional horizontal wells in
Texas and North Dakota.
DRILLING
RESULTS
GeoResources continues its successful
exploitation of the Austin Chalk formation in the Giddings Field, Grimes County,
Texas with its completion of the Keisler #2-H horizontal dual lateral well for
an initial production rate in excess of 20 MMCFPD.  This is the third
dual lateral and the ninth successful completion since closing the acquisition
of the field in February of 2007. The Company has achieved a 100% success rate
in drilling these Austin Chalk horizontal wells.  Previously, the
Company reported that the Jeff Haynie was completed for 17
MMCFPD.  This well has reached the 1 Billion Cubic Feet of cumulative
gas production in just 70 days, quicker than any other well the Company has
drilled, and it is continuing to produce at over 10 MMCFPD.  The
significance of reaching this milestone in such a short time period is the quick
payout of the drilling capital as well as an indication of the ultimate gas
recovery from the well.  Several wells in this area that have
cumulative production of 1 BCF within the first four months are reasonably
projected to have estimated ultimate reserves exceeding 5 BCF.  The
Company continues to pursue its development strategy and is currently drilling
the Bax #1-H as a dual lateral well which is expected to be completed and placed
on production during the third quarter.
The
Company has acquired additional acreage in the Giddings Field area and is in the
process of permitting more drilling locations. Based on continued technical
evaluation, successful leasing and acceptable well performance, GeoResources
expects to retain the current drilling rig and crew and spud a new well
approximately every 60-75 days for the next three years.  The Company
is the operator of these wells and holds a direct 7.2% working
interest.  In addition, an affiliated partnership owns an 82.8%
working interest.  The Company holds a 2% general partner interest in
the partnership, which increases significantly in accordance with economic
performance parameters under the terms of the partnership
agreement.
The
Company's Mountrail County, North Dakota drilling activity remains quite active
with the Pathfinder #1-9H (5.1% Company Working Interest ("WI")) now completed
with an initial production rate of 1,463 BOEPD but limited to 600 BOPD by oil
pipeline capacity issues.  The Prowler #1-16H (6.1%WI) was fracture
stimulated during late July and had an initial rate of 908 BOEPD.  The
Prospector #1-36H (5.1%) and the Payara #1-21H (6.0%WI) are both currently in
process of completion.  The Voyager #1-28H (8.9%WI) is expected to
commence drilling within three weeks of moving off the completion of the Payara
#1-16H.  The second contracted rig is currently scheduled to commence
drilling of the Goldeneye #1-2H (4.1% WI) in approximately two weeks with the
Peacemaker #1-8H (3.8% WI), the Bandit #1-29H (10.0% WI) and the Nightcrawler
#1-17H (4.5% WI) scheduled to follow.  These and previously reported
wells total nine gross wells and the Company presently has an additional eight
wells scheduled.  The program is continuing and numerous projected
wells are in process of being planned and of being permitted.
The
Company holds a 10–15% working interest in approximately 26,000 acres in
Mountrail County, North Dakota and is participating in numerous Bakken Shale
wells through a joint venture with Slawson Exploration.  Continuous
drilling with one drilling rig is expected throughout 2008 and 2009 and a second
rig has been contracted and is scheduled to commence operations within the next
two weeks.  In addition, GeoResources presently has minor interests in
twenty-four wells or locations that are producing, in various stages of drilling
and completion or are scheduled.  These small participations result in
valuable engineering and geological data.  As the Company concentrates
on Slawson operated wells, it will evaluate all available technical information
while attempting to increase its position in this expanding play.
OKLAHOMA
ACQUISITION
The
previously announced Oklahoma acquisition results in approximately 100
additional drilling locations with the vast majority being proved undeveloped
locations.  In addition, management believes that the acreage provides
significant exploration and development opportunities directly associated with
the acquired interests and in regional proximity thereto. GeoResources'
management and technical staff have significant prior experience in
Oklahoma.  The acquisition closed in June and the Company is presently
organizing a drilling program which is expected to begin in the 4
th
quarter.
