                  -------------------------------------------

Empyrean provides the following update on testing of the Sugarloaf-1 well as
provided by the operator.

As recently reported by other listed partners participating in this well, the
commencement of the fracture stimulation and testing program of the Cretaceous
carbonate zone requires remedial cementation of the well casing across the zones
of interest prior to testing. This process which involves serial perforation of
the casing and squeezing cement is expected to take several weeks to complete.

The latest indication from the Operator is that fracture stimulation and flow
testing of the first of the three zones of possible gas pay is now expected to
commence during the first half of August.


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.
