FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GeoResources, Inc. Reports Proved Reserves
467% of Production Replaced; Reserve Quantities Increase 42%
Houston, Texas, March 2, 2010 – GeoResources, Inc., (NASDAQ: GEOI), today announced its proved reserves of crude oil and natural gas as of December 31, 2009. Based on the prescribed Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, proved reserves were estimated at 20.7 million barrels of oil equivalent (“Mmboe”), being 55% oil and 75% proved developed. Proved reserves increased 6.1 Mmboe for a growth rate of 42% from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009. The Company replaced 467% of the 1.7 Mmboe of production during the year; 150% of production was replaced through drilling and the remainder resulted from core area acquisitions and upward reserve revisions. The independent reservoir engineering firm of Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. prepared the Company’s year-end reserve report.
The present value of future cash flows before income taxes as of December 31, 2009, discounted at 10% (SEC PV10, a non-GAAP measure), totaled $217.6 million, up 45% from December 31, 2008. The following table shows the proved reserves by category using SEC guidelines.
| | | SEC Proved Reserves – December 31, 2009 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Reserve category: | | Oil (Mbbl) | | | Natural Gas Liquids (Mbngl) | | | Gas (Mmcf) | | | Barrels of Oil Equivalents (MBOE) | | | PV10 Value (M$) | |
| Proved developed | | | 9,221 | | | | 405 | | | | 35,708 | | | | 15,578 | | | $ | 182,580 | |
| Proved undeveloped | | | 2,198 | | | | 128 | | | | 16,530 | | | | 5,081 | | | $ | 35,011 | |
| Total | | | 11,419 | | | | 533 | | | | 52,238 | | | | 20,659 | | | $ | 217,591 | |
The SEC proved reserves as of December 31, 2009 were calculated based on new guidelines that went into effect for the Company’s year-end 2009 oil and gas reporting. The new pricing rules require that reserve calculations utilize the unweighted average first day of the month prices for the prior twelve months to December 31, 2009, contrasted with the pricing methodology required in prior years which used prices existing on December 31. Under the new rules, prices were $61.18 per barrel of crude oil and $3.83 per Mmbtu for natural gas, prior to adjusting for quality and basis differentials. Prices used as of December 31, 2008 were $44.60 per barrel of crude oil and $5.62 per Mmbtu for natural gas.
Utilizing the NYMEX forward curve as of December 31, 2009 proved reserves were 23.7 Mmboe with a PV10 value of $422 million. Prior to adjusting for quality and basis differentials prices ranged from $82.20 per barrel and $5.79 per Mmbtu in 2010 to $98.05 per barrel and $7.44 per Mmbtu in 2017; prices were held flat thereafter. The following table shows proved reserves by category using a NYMEX based pricing methodology.

Comments
Mr. Frank A. Lodzinski, Chief Executive Officer of GeoResources, said, “We are pleased with the significant increases we have reported to our proved reserves. Our track record over the past three years shows a 105% compound annual growth rate for proved reserves and 81% for production. It is important to note that our business strategy includes a portfolio of both crude oil and natural gas projects. Accordingly, we are somewhat insulated from commodity price deterioration in one commodity versus the other. As we continue into 2010, we expect to increase our drilling budget and, given our liquidity take advantage of strategic corporate or asset acquisitions. We are motivated and focused on our business strategy to continue our profitable growth.”
