Robert P. Murphy, President & Chief Executive Officer, comments that "the
Company's third quarter operating and financial results reflect the successful
execution and implementation of our 2012 exploration and development program.
Additionally, our balance sheet has strengthened considerably with the post Q3
2012 completion of our term financing, increased operating cash flow, and the
sale of interest in Ship Shoal Block 189 Field. In 2013, our $24 million dollar
capital budget as approved by the Board provides for the drilling of one
development well and four exploratory wells. All five wells will be operated by
the Company and will be located in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The
Company currently has two drilling rigs under contract and expects both to begin
drilling by the end of 2012. We are excited about the Company's drilling program
for 2013 and look forward to growing the Company's reserve and production base
through the drill bit in 2013."

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an
offer to buy any of the Companies securities in the United States. The Companies
securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "US Securities Act) or any state

Forward Looking Information and Statements

Certain statements and information in this press release may constitute
"forward-looking information" or statements as such terms are used in applicable
Canadian securities laws. Any statement that expresses, involves or includes
expectations of future operations (including drill rig commitments and use of
proceeds), commerciality of any hydrocarbon discovered, production rates,
operating costs, commodity prices, administrative costs, commodity price risk
and other components of cash flow and earnings, management activity,
acquisitions and dispositions, capital spending, access to credit facilities
taxes, regulatory changes, projections, objective, assumptions or future events
that are not statements of historical fact should be viewed as "forward-looking
statements". Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ
materially from those predicted, a result of numerous known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the
Company. These risks include, but are not limited to, the risks associated with
the oil and gas industry, commodity prices, and exchange rate changes. Industry
related risks could include, but are not limited to, operational risks in
exploration, development and production, delays or changes in plans, risks
associated with the uncertainty of reserve estimates, or reservoir performance,
health and safety risks and the uncertainty of estimates and projections of
production, costs and expenses. The reader is cautioned not to place undue
reliance on any forward-looking statement in this press release. The Company
disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as required by applicable law.


Financial outlook information contained in this press release about the
Company's prospective cash flows and financial position is based on assumptions
about future events, including economic conditions and proposed courses of
action, based on management's assessment of the relevant information currently
available. Readers are cautioned that any such financial outlook information
contained herein should not be used for purposes other than for which it is
disclosed herein.


Note Regarding BOEs

The term barrel of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if
used in isolation. A conversion ratio for gas of 6 mcf:1 boe is based on an
energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and
does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value
ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is
significantly equivalency conversion ratio of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a
6:1 basis is misleading as an indication of value.
