    ("Empyrean" or the "Company"; Ticker: (EME))
    Sugarloaf Block A, Texas USA

    * TCEI JV Block A # 3 well encounters gas shows whilst drilling over the
    target zone

    Empyrean, the AIM listed oil and gas company with exploration and production
    assets in Germany and USA today announces the following regarding Sugarloaf
    Block A in Texas:

    TCEI JV Block A-3 Well
    ----------------------
    Empyrean has been advised by the operator that gas shows have been encountered
    over a 185 feet interval at about 12,000 feet depth which is the main objective
    of the TCEI JV Block A-3 well. The gas recordings rose to a maximum of 350 units
    which is approximately ten times the background gas readings immediately prior
    to the shows. These gas readings were recorded during drilling of the vertical
    pilot hole section of the well.

    Current operations are preparation for open hole logging. The well is then
    planned to be drilled 1500-2000 feet horizontally into the target zone for
    completion and testing.

    The commercial significance of the gas shows will not be known until the full
    results of any testing are analyzed.

    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.

    Commenting today, Empyrean director Tom Kelly said - "This is further good news
    for Empyrean as we now have a total of five wells in the Sugarkane discovery
    area - two on Block B and three on Block A that have encountered gas whilst
    drilling. We look forward to the results of testing from each well during what
    promises to be an exciting testing phase for the company."
