For Immediate Release

                       REVISION TO EARNINGS RELEASE FOR THE
                   QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005

     DENVER, Colorado (March 7, 2006) -- Delta Petroleum Corporation (NASDAQ:
DPTR), an independent energy exploration and development company ("Delta" or
"the Company"), today reported a revision to the press release issued earlier
this morning whereby the Company reported its financial and operating results
for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2005.

     The Company's previous press release erroneously stated that the Castle
Energy Corporation merger was under review by the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC").  It should have stated that the S-4 registration
statement filed by the Company with respect to the merger has not yet been
declared effective by the SEC.

     In addition, the following should have been included under Results of
Operations:

     Average prices realized for the six months ended December 31, 2005
approximated $59.42 per barrel for onshore oil production, $48.98 per barrel
for offshore oil production and $8.82 per Mcfe for natural gas production.

     Delta Petroleum Corporation is an oil and gas exploration and
development company based in Denver, Colorado. The Company's core areas of
operations are the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain Regions, which comprise the
majority of its proved reserves, production and long-term growth prospects.
Its common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol
"DPTR."

Forward-looking statements in this announcement are made pursuant to the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainty, including without limitation, the costs of exploring and
developing new oil and natural gas reserves, the price for which such
reserves can be sold, environmental concerns affecting the drilling of oil
and natural gas wells, as well as general market conditions, competition and
pricing.  Please refer to the Company's Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for additional information.
