NOTIFICATION OF THE REMOVAL FROM LISTING AND
REGISTRATION OF THE STATED SECURITIES

New York Stock Exchange LLC (the 'Exchange'
or the 'NYSE') hereby notifies the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the 'Commission') of
its intention to remove the entire class of
Common Stock (the 'Common Stock') of Compton
Petroleum Corporation (the 'Company') from
listing and registration on the Exchange at
the opening of business on July 16, 2010,
pursuant to the provisions of
Rule 12d2-2 (b), because, in the opinion of
the Exchange, the Common Stock is no longer
suitable for continued listing and trading on
the Exchange.

NYSE based its determination on the fact
that the Common Stock had fallen below
the Exchange?s continued listing standard
for average closing price of less than
$1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day
period and the Company did not cure this
non-compliance within the required timeframe.

1. The Exchange's Listed Company Manual,
Section 802.01C, states, in part, that the
Exchange would consider delisting a security
of either a domestic or non-U.S. issuer when
the average closing price of a security is
less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30
trading-day period.

2. The Exchange, on June 18, 2010, determined
that the Common Stock should be suspended
prior to the market open on June 25, 2010, and
directed the preparation and filing with the
Commission of this application for the removal
of the Common Stock from listing and
registration on the Exchange. The Company was
notified by letter on June 21, 2010.

3. Pursuant to the above authorization, a press
release was immediately issued by the Exchange
on June 18, 2010 and an announcement was made
on the 'ticker' of the Exchange at the close of
the trading session on June 18, 2010 and other
various dates of the proposed suspension of
trading in the Common Stock. Similar information
was included on the Exchange's website.  Trading
in the Common Stock was suspended before the
opening of the trading session on June 25, 2010.

4. The Company had a right to appeal to the
Committee for Review of the Board of Directors
of NYSE Regulation, Inc. the determination of
the Exchange to delist its Common Stock,
provided that it filed a written request for
such a review with the Secretary of the
Exchange within ten business days of receiving
notice of the delisting determination. On
June 21, 2010 the Company stated in its press
release that the Board has concluded it is in
the best interest of the Company and its
shareholders to delist from the Exchange.
