             Sugarloaf Prospect, ('Sugarloaf'), Block B, Texas USA
             -----------------------------------------------------

Empyrean, the AIM listed oil and gas explorer and producer with assets in
Germany and USA today announces the following:

Kennedy -1H Well
----------------

The operator advises that following the 4-1/2 inch liner being cemented in place
in the horizontal section of the well, the drilling rig was released on December
8, 2007. The operator intends to run a radial bond log to assess the cement job
before finalising plans for an extensive fracture stimulation program and test
operations on the well. It is likely that these operations will start early in
the new year.

Sugarloaf-1 Well
----------------

Flow testing of the deepest of three zones of interest in the Austin Chalk
continues. Swabbing and short periods of natural flow have recovered small
quantities of gas and condensate together with fracture stimulation fluids and
work fluids. The operator has advised that the test program will include further
swabbing before shutting the well in for a seven day pressure build up test. An
electronic pressure gauge assembly has been deployed by wireline. Further work
on this zone will be dependant on the analysis of the test and other data.

Further updates will be provided following developments.

The information contained in this announcement was completed and reviewed by the
Technical Director of Empyrean Energy Plc, Mr Frank Brophy BSc (Hons) who has
over 40 years experience as a petroleum geologist.
