      Eagle Rock Energy Partners, L.P. Declares Increase to Its
       Third Quarter 2007 Cash Distribution, Reaffirms Proposed
   Fourth Quarter Distribution Increase and Announces Earnings Call


    HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 7, 2007--Eagle Rock Energy
Partners, L.P. (Nasdaq:EROC) today declared a cash distribution of
$0.3675 per unit for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, a
$0.005 increase to its minimum quarterly distribution, or 1.38%
growth. The distribution will be paid November 14, 2007, to all
unitholders of record as of November 8, 2007.

    Joseph A. Mills, chairman and chief executive officer, stated, "We
are extremely pleased with our results for the third quarter, which
reflect the two-month contribution to our earnings of the recently
completed Escambia Asset Company and Redman acquisitions, and the
improved operations in our legacy assets. The distribution increase
announced today is consistent with our target distribution coverage
and partially accelerates our previously announced proposed
distribution increase in the fourth quarter, as we are also
reaffirming our intention to recommend to our Board a further increase
in the distribution rate for that period, to $0.3925 per unit, to be
declared and paid in February 2008. If approved by Eagle Rock's Board,
this proposed increase in the upcoming fourth quarter's distribution
would raise Eagle Rock's distributions per unit to $1.57 per year, an
incremental 6.8% growth to today's announced annual distribution rate
of $1.47."

    The Board's approval of this recommended further increase to
fourth quarter 2007 distributions is subject to a review of future
operating results including production, commodity prices, operating
costs, capital requirements, and other factors affecting Eagle Rock's
business.

    The Partnership also announced today it will report third quarter
2007 financial results after the market closes for trading on Tuesday,
November 13, 2007. A third quarter earnings call will be held at 9
a.m. CT (10 a.m. ET) on Wednesday, November 14, 2007.
