<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>The Company</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Endeavour International Corporation is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in
the acquisition, development and exploration of oil and natural gas properties with operations
onshore in the United States and in the United Kingdom sector of the North Sea. Since commencing
operations in 2004, we have built a strong asset base and achieved steady growth through
acquisitions and exploration and development activities. Historically, we have focused our
operations in the North Sea, but have recently sought to expand our focus to target unconventional
U.S. resource plays with shorter production-cycle times and compelling risk/return profiles. As a
result, we have established a strong foundation of producing and development assets in several
attractive and emerging U.S. resource plays, including approximately 66,000 gross (27,000 net)
acres within the Haynesville and Marcellus Shale regions, complemented by our significant
development opportunities in the North Sea.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On November&nbsp;17, 2010, the Company effected a share consolidation, via a seven-for-one reverse stock
split. All share amounts presented herein have been adjusted to reflect this share consolidation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Endeavour International Corporation is a Nevada corporation. Our principal executive offices are
located at 1001 Fannin Street, Suite&nbsp;1600, Houston, Texas 77002, and our telephone number is (713)
307-8700. Our website is <I>www.endeavourcorp.com</I>. The information on our website is not part of
this prospectus.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Certain matters discussed in this prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference
herein are &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability
established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the
Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements include statements that express a belief,
expectation, or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, and may
include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our
future production, revenues, income and capital spending. Our forward-looking statements are
generally accompanied by words such as &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;project,&#148; &#147;predict,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148;
&#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;potential,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;goal&#148; or other words that convey the uncertainty of future
events or outcomes. We caution you not to rely on them unduly. We have based these
forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While
our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently
subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies
and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.
These risks, contingencies and uncertainties, which may not be exhaustive, relate to, among other
matters, the following:

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no officer or director of Endeavour will be
personally liable to Endeavour or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director or officer, other than (1)&nbsp;for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct,
fraud or knowing violations of law or (2)&nbsp;the unlawful payment of a distribution. In addition, our
articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that Endeavour will indemnify its officers and
directors and advance related costs and expenses incurred by our officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. In addition, Endeavour may also enter into agreements with
any officer or director and may obtain insurance indemnifying officers and directors against
certain liabilities incurred by them.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">NRS Section&nbsp;78.138 provides that a director or officer will not be individually liable unless it is
proven that (i)&nbsp;the director&#146;s or officer&#146;s acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her
fiduciary duties, and (ii)&nbsp;such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of the law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">NRS Section&nbsp;78.7502 permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or director (i)&nbsp;is not
liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii)&nbsp;acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the officer or
director was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">NRS Section&nbsp;78.751 permits a Nevada corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against
expenses incurred by them in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are
incurred and in advance of final disposition thereof, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation. NRS 78.751 further permits the corporation to grant its directors and officers
additional rights of indemnification under its articles of incorporation or bylaws or otherwise.
NRS 78.752 provides that a Nevada corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other
financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity
as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.

policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</TD>

Preliminary Note
You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone
to provide you with information that is different. The selling stockholder is offering to sell and
seeking offers to buy shares of our common stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are
permitted. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this
prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or of any sale of our common
stock.
The Company
Endeavour International Corporation is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in
the acquisition, development and exploration of oil and natural gas properties with operations
onshore in the United States and in the United Kingdom sector of the North Sea. Since commencing
operations in 2004, we have built a strong asset base and achieved steady growth through
acquisitions and exploration and development activities. Historically, we have focused our
operations in the North Sea, but have recently sought to expand our focus to target unconventional
U.S. resource plays with shorter production-cycle times and compelling risk/return profiles. As a
result, we have established a strong foundation of producing and development assets in several
attractive and emerging U.S. resource plays, including approximately 66,000 gross (27,000 net)
acres within the Haynesville and Marcellus Shale regions, complemented by our significant
development opportunities in the North Sea.
On November 17, 2010, the Company effected a share consolidation, via a seven-for-one reverse stock
split. All share amounts presented herein have been adjusted to reflect this share consolidation.
Endeavour International Corporation is a Nevada corporation. Our principal executive offices are
located at 1001 Fannin Street, Suite 1600, Houston, Texas 77002, and our telephone number is (713)
307-8700. Our website is

this prospectus.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference
herein are "forward-looking statements" intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability
established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the
Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements include statements that express a belief,
expectation, or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, and may
include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our
future production, revenues, income and capital spending. Our forward-looking statements are
generally accompanied by words such as "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect,"
"anticipate," "potential," "plan," "goal" or other words that convey the uncertainty of future
events or outcomes. We caution you not to rely on them unduly. We have based these
forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While
our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently
subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies
and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.
These risks, contingencies and uncertainties, which may not be exhaustive, relate to, among other
matters, the following:
•
discovery, estimation, development and replacement of oil and gas reserves;
1
•
decreases in proved reserves due to technical or economic factors;
•
drilling of wells and other planned exploitation activities;
•
timing and amount of future production of oil and gas;
•
the volatility of oil and gas prices;
•
availability of drilling and production equipment;
•
operating costs such as lease operating expenses, administrative costs and
other expenses;
•
our future operating or financial results;
•
amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures, including future
development costs;
•
cash flow and anticipated liquidity;
•
availability and terms of capital;
•
business strategy and the availability of acquisition opportunities; and
•
factors not known to us at this time.
Any of these factors, or a combination of these factors, could materially affect our future
financial condition or results of operations and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance, and our
actual results and future developments may differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements. In addition, any or all of our forward-looking statements in this
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein and herein may turn out to be
incorrect. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown
risks and uncertainties, including those mentioned in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. Forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date they were made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to
update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of this prospectus. These cautionary statements qualify all
forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.

Risk Factors
An investment in our securities involves risks. Before you invest in our securities, you
should carefully consider the risk factors included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K,
subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, our current reports on Form 8-K, as well as risks
described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and cautionary notes regarding forward-looking statements included or incorporated by
reference herein, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus and the
documents we incorporate by reference.
If any of these risks were to materialize, our business, results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In that case, our ability to make
distributions to our shareholders or pay interest on, or the principal of, any debt securities, may
be reduced, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of
your investment.

affiliates.
6
Plan of Distribution
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling
stockholder pursuant to this prospectus. The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholder from the
sale of the common stock will be the purchase price of the common stock less any discounts and
commissions. A selling stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents, to
reject, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. This
prospectus covers the resale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholder. As used in
this prospectus, "selling stockholders" includes holders of shares of our common stock received
from the selling stockholder after the date of this prospectus, who received such shares by gift or
by other transfer by such selling stockholder to an immediate family member of such stockholder, by
will or through operation of the laws of descent and distribution, and their respective
administrators, guardians, receivers, executors or other persons acting in a similar capacity.
The common stock may be sold from time to time to purchasers:
•
directly by the selling stockholders and their successors, which includes their
transferees, pledgees or donees or their successors; or
•
through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who may receive compensation in the form
of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or the purchasers of
the common stock. These discounts, concessions or commissions may be in excess of those
customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who participate in the
distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Securities Act. As a result, any profits on the sale of the common stock by selling stockholders
and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such broker-dealers or agents may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts, and "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act
will be subject to prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. If the selling
stockholders are deemed to be underwriters, the selling stockholders may be subject to certain
statutory liabilities, including, without limitation, liabilities under Sections 11, 12 and 17 of
the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act. If the common stock is sold through
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, the selling stockholders will be responsible for
underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions.
The common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at:
7
•
fixed prices;
•
prevailing market prices at the time of sale;
•
prices related to such prevailing market prices;
•
varying prices determined at the time of sale; or
•
negotiated prices.
These sales may be effected in transactions:
•
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the common stock may
be listed or quoted at the time of the sale;
•
in the over-the-counter market;
•
otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market;
•
through the writing and exercise of options, whether such options are listed on an
options exchange or otherwise; or
•
through the settlement of short sales.
These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the
same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade.
In connection with the sales of the common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter
into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. These broker-dealers
or other financial institutions may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course
of hedging their positions. The selling stockholders may also sell the common stock short and
deliver common stock to close out short positions, or loan or pledge common stock to broker-dealers
that, in turn, may sell the common stock.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling
stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the
purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions
and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all
of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their
secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock
from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule
424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling
stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling
stockholders under this prospectus.
8
To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between any selling
stockholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the common stock.
At the time a particular offering is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be
distributed, which will set forth the names of the selling stockholders, the aggregate amount and
type of securities being offered, the price at which the securities are being sold and other
material terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or
agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling
stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed to be paid to
broker-dealers.
We cannot be certain that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the common stock pursuant
to this prospectus. Further, we cannot assure you that any such selling stockholder will not
transfer, devise or gift the common stock by other means not described in this prospectus. In
addition, any common stock covered by this prospectus that qualifies for sale pursuant to Rule 144
of the Securities Act of 1933 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The
common stock may be sold in some states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In
addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or
qualifies for sale or an exemption from registration, or a qualification is available and complied
with.
The selling stockholders and any other person participating in the sale of the common stock will be
subject to the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M,
which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the common stock by the selling
stockholders and any other such person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any
person engaged in the distribution of the common stock and the ability of any person or entity to
engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock.
We have agreed to pay substantially all expenses incidental to the registration, offering and sale
of the common stock to the public, other than commissions, fees and discounts of underwriters,
brokers, dealers and agents.
Legal Matters
Woodburn and Wedge, our Nevada counsel, has passed upon the validity of the common stock
offered hereby. Any underwriters will be advised about other issues relating to by offering by
their own legal counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no officer or director of Endeavour will be
personally liable to Endeavour or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director or officer, other than (1) for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct,
fraud or knowing violations of law or (2) the unlawful payment of a distribution. In addition, our
articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that Endeavour will indemnify its officers and
directors and advance related costs and expenses incurred by our officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. In addition, Endeavour may also enter into agreements with
any officer or director and may obtain insurance indemnifying officers and directors against
certain liabilities incurred by them.
NRS Section 78.138 provides that a director or officer will not be individually liable unless it is
proven that (i) the director's or officer's acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her
fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of the law.
NRS Section 78.7502 permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or director (i) is not
liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the officer or
director was unlawful.
NRS Section 78.751 permits a Nevada corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against
expenses incurred by them in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are
incurred and in advance of final disposition thereof, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation. NRS 78.751 further permits the corporation to grant its directors and officers
additional rights of indemnification under its articles of incorporation or bylaws or otherwise.
NRS 78.752 provides that a Nevada corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other
financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity
as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.

Item 9. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(a)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(b)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective registration statement; and
(c)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in periodic reports filed with or furnished or furnished to the SEC by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
II - 4
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(5)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Signatures
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it
has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and
has duly caused this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of Houston, State
of Texas, on the 23rd day of
December, 2010.
