ERHC Energy Inc. Announces Block Awards in São Tomé & Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone

HOUSTON, February 16, 2010 – ERHC Energy Inc. (OTCBB:ERHE), a publicly traded American company with oil and gas assets in the highly prospective Gulf of Guinea off the coast of West Africa, today announced that the National Petroleum Agency of São Tomé & Príncipe (ANP-STP) on behalf of the Government of São Tomé and Principe has confirmed the award to ERHC of 100 percent working interests in Blocks 4 and 11 of the São Tomé & Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The confirmation follows ERHC’s exercise of rights arising from prior agreements between ERHC and São Tomé & Príncipe.

The ANP-STP has indicated that it expects to invite ERHC to negotiate Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) on the two Blocks in due course.

The São Tomé & Príncipe EEZ encompasses an area of approximately 160,000 square kilometers south and east of the Nigeria/São Tomé & Príncipe Joint Development Zone and surrounding the volcanic islands of Príncipe and São Tomé. Block 4 is situated directly east of the island of Principe. Block 11 is directly east of the island of Sao Tome. A map of EEZ block delineations is available on the Company’s website at www.erhc.com/EEZ-Blocks.

“We have a special corporate bond with the government and the people of São Tomé & Príncipe and we look forward to the successful negotiation of PSCs in order to take our mutual interests to the next level,” said ERHC Chief Operating Officer Peter Ntephe.

ERHC was among the first companies to identify the possibility of significant oil and/or natural gas reserves offshore of São Tomé & Príncipe and has been active in the area since 1997. In addition to the two Blocks already awarded, ERHC has rights to acquire up to a 15 percent paid working interest in two additional blocks of its choice in the EEZ. The ANP-STP has informed the Company that selection of these other blocks will take place at a later date to be determined.

(Dan Keeney)

Good morning, and thank you for joining us for the ERHC Year-End 2009 Conference Call.

Statements during this meeting may concern ERHC Energy Inc.’s future operating milestones, future drilling operations, the planned exploration and appraisal program, future prospects, future investment opportunities and financing plans, future shareholders’ meetings, response to the Senate Subcommittee investigation, developments in the SEC investigation of the Company and related proceedings, as well as other matters that are not historical facts or information.

For additional information on ERHC, please visit our Web site at www.erhc.com.

I am now pleased to turn the call over to Mr. Peter Ntephe, Chief Operating Officer of ERHC Energy….

(Peter Ntephe)

Good morning! I appreciate you taking time out of your busy day for this update on ERHC’s operations and the Company’s financial position. With me and Mr. Keeney on the call are:

Dan Gralla, ERHC’s vice president in charge of technical matters.
David Bovell, ERHC’s vice president in charge of corporate development.
Sylvan Odobulu, ERHC’s controller in charge of financial matters.
And Deon Warner of Warner & Associates, ERHC’s corporate counsel.

Even though it has only been four months since the last time we conducted one of these calls, we have made great strides during that period toward our vision of realizing the value of our assets. For those who don’t track ERHC’s activities on a daily or weekly basis, I will describe what we have been doing.

In the Nigeria-Sao Tome & Principe Joint Development Zone, which we will refer to as the JDZ, our technical partners are in the midst of a coordinated exploratory drilling campaign that stretches across three Blocks.

In JDZ Block 2, in which ERHC has a 22 percent interest, Sinopec Corporation drilled the Bomu-1 well. In JDZ Block 3, in which ERHC has a 10 percent interest, Addax Petroleum drilled the Lemba-1 well. And in JDZ Block 4, in which ERHC has a 19.5 percent interest, Addax Petroleum has drilled two wells – Kina and Malanza-1 – and is in the process of drilling the Oki East well.

The purpose of this process is to test scientific conclusions and gather additional information. To that end, a detailed evaluation of information from the four wells is underway, but at this point we cannot draw any conclusions regarding the extent and quality of the hydrocarbon systems encountered.

The operators are in the process of a comprehensive analysis that incorporates the drilling results into relevant geologic and fluid models. Each well is being evaluated using several standard oilfield methods and the rock properties and reservoir fluids will be measured and evaluated.

The information from these wells is helping the exploration team understand the geology and hydrocarbon potential of the various prospects being drilled. Perhaps more importantly, it is helping us to understand the prospectivity of the entire area.

I want to assure everyone in the shareholder community that the Company’s management is as excited about getting drilling results as the investment community is. The fact, however, is that this is a highly technical process that takes considerable time. The parties are working to ensure that operations are conducted to the highest industry standards. The focus is quality of work put into each well, not undue haste.

In accordance with the practice in the JDZ, accurate, material information on the progress in the JDZ Blocks will emanate from the operators or the Joint Development Authority. ERHC will release such information in a timely manner in accordance with our contractual and regulatory obligations.

ERHC also has rights in JDZ Blocks 5, 6 and 9. To date, no Production Sharing Contracts have been signed for these Blocks, but depending on what is found in Blocks 2, 3 and 4, we anticipate that the JDA may act to firm up operations in those Blocks as well in the foreseeable future.

For detailed information concerning the JDZ, the JDA and the company’s Participation Agreements and Partnerships, I invite you to visit our Web site at www.erhc.com.

STP EEZ

We are also anticipating progress regarding the Sao Tome & Principe Exclusive Economic Zone where ERHC has substantial interests.

ERHC has rights to participate in exploration and production activities in the EEZ. Our rights include the right to receive 100 percent of up to two blocks of ERHC’s choice – signature bonus free – and the option to acquire up to a 15 percent paid working interest in another two blocks of ERHC’s choice.

ERHC has attended the data room for the EEZ and has initiated a strategy for choosing the blocks we feel are the most prospective. It is obvious from their geographic position and the grouping of DRSTP that some blocks are more prospective than others. ERHC will obviously position itself to acquire the most prospective blocks.

Growth Strategy

In recent weeks, ERHC began negotiations on potential investments that would expand the Company’s presence in West Africa’s oil and gas industry. With considerable progress being made in the ongoing exploration campaign in the JDZ, we believe this is the right time to accelerate business development activities elsewhere.

We are in discussions regarding investment in and acquisition of working interests in the Eremor Marginal Field – OML 46 – in Nigeria. We are also in separate discussions regarding the acquisition of a controlling equity interest in an oil services company.

These opportunities will begin the process of diversifying our portfolio of assets. If the negotiations are successful, the investments would enhance shareholder value by accelerating the timeline for producing revenues.

We are also investigating other exploration and production opportunities and will report progress to stockholders at the earliest appropriate time.

I want to emphasize that ERHC’s principal assets remain the JDZ and the EEZ interests and it is our intention to protect them and advance the Company’s overall standing.

Financial Highlights

Now a few financial notes from our annual filing.

As of September 30, 2009, ERHC had cash and cash equivalents totaling about $22.4 million. Management believes that these cash assets are sufficient to keep the company going for several years.
We are pleased to report that ERHC’s general and administrative expenses for the year were down from the same period one year ago, which illustrates management’s careful stewardship of the Company’s operations and expenditures.

During the year, ERHC’s net loss totaled approximately $7.7 million. A few factors contributed to the loss, including provision for loss on certificates of deposits in a financial institution placed into receivership and a decline in interest income as management moved deposits to non-interest bearing accounts that provided greater security from loss.

Annual General Meeting

And finally, a quick word about our plans for an Annual General Meeting. The Annual General Meeting will be held in April 2010 in Houston, Texas. Shareholders of record 45 days prior to the Annual Meeting date will be eligible to receive notice of and vote at the meeting.

Conclusion

In conclusion, ERHC is now executing its business strategy and making significant progress toward realizing the value of its assets in the Gulf of Guinea. This has been a long process and no doubt it has been frustrating for some investors who are not accustomed to the oil and gas business. Each step takes considerable expertise and time. If oil and/or gas are discovered in commercial quantities, the resulting production of course may considerably enhance shareholder value. It is, however, important for everyone associated with ERHC to understand that this is not a field for those seeking immediate gratification. Each step takes time, financial resources and a lot of work.

Thank you for taking time out to participate in our call today.

And now we would be happy to answer any questions you might have.

ERHC Energy Chief Operating Officer Discusses São Tomé & Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone

Dan Keeney — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:00:00 GMT

We sat down for a discussion with ERHC Chief Operating Officer Peter Ntephe to discuss that status of activities related to the EEZ.

ERHC’s rights in the EEZ include the following:

The right to receive 100 percent interest in up to two blocks of ERHC’s choice; and
The option to acquire up to a 15 percent paid working interest in another two blocks of ERHC’s choice.

ERHC would be responsible for its proportionate share of exploration and exploitation costs in the EEZ blocks.

Ocean water depths around the two islands exceed 5,000 feet, depths that have only become feasible for oil production over the past few years; however, oil and gas are produced in the neighboring countries of Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Congo.

The African coast is less than 400 nautical miles offshore, which means the exclusive economic zones of the concerned countries overlap.

ERHC Energy Chief Operating Officer Discusses Nigeria-São Tomé & Príncipe Joint Development Zone

Dan Keeney — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:00:00 GMT

ERHC Energy (OTCBB:ERHC) has oil and gas interests in six of the nine Blocks in the offshore Nigeria São Tomé & Príncipe Joint Development Zone (JDZ) and realizing the value of these interests remains the Company’s primary focus. A comprehensive drilling campaign is currently underway in JDZ Blocks 2, 3 and 4. Most recently ERHC's technical partner, Addax Petroleum, has been drilling the Malanza 1X well in JDZ Block 4. Earlier, Addax drilled the Kina well in JDZ Block 4 and the Lemba 1X well in JDZ Block 3. ERHC's other technical partner, Sinopec, drilled the Bomu-1 well in JDZ Block 2.

A comprehensive analysis that incorporates the drilling results into relevant geologic and fluid models is currently being carried out. The information from these wells is helping the exploration team understand the geology and hydrocarbon potential of the various prospects being drilled and provides valuable insight into the prospectivity of the entire area.

We sat down with ERHC Chief Operating Officer Peter Ntephe to discuss the Company's unique position in the industry and the progress being made toward realizing the value of its oil and gas assets.

The Company has additional interests in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Democratic Republic of São Tomé & Príncipe.

ERHC Energy Inc. Update for Shareholders on Drilling in the JDZ

Dan Keeney — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:00:00 GMT

To ERHC Shareholders:

I am happy to report that drilling is progressing on schedule in the Joint Development Zone (JDZ) Blocks in which ERHC has interests.

Addax Petroleum Corporation (“Addax”), the operator of JDZ Blocks 3 and 4, has finished drilling a well at the Kina Prospect in Block 4 in which ERHC has a 19.5 percent interest. Based on the early analysis done to date, the well encountered hydrocarbons, but a detailed evaluation of information from the well has only just commenced so it is far too early for any conclusions to be drawn on the extent and quality of the hydrocarbon system encountered. A comprehensive analysis that incorporates the drilling results into relevant geologic and fluid models will now be carried out.

Following the initial drilling operation in Block 4, the Deepwater Pathfinder has moved to the Lemba 1X well location in JDZ Block 3 in which ERHC has a 10 percent interest. Exploratory drilling at Lemba 1X commenced yesterday. We estimate it will take approximately five weeks, although the actual timing is dependent on many factors, such as drilling penetration rate, fluids encountered, borehole stability and equipment maintenance, among others.

Once done with the Lemba 1X well, the Deepwater Pathfinder will move back to JDZ Block 4 to drill two additional wells. The specific drilling locations of these additional Block 4 wells will be determined in due course.

Sinopec JDZ Block 2 Limited (“Sinopec”), the operator of JDZ Block 2 in which ERHC has a 22 percent interest, has also finished exploratory drilling at the JDZ Bomu-1 well location. Based on the early analysis done to date, natural gas is discovered, but again a detailed evaluation of information from the well has only just commenced so it is far too early for any conclusions to be drawn on the extent and quality of the hydrocarbon system encountered.

This is an exciting time for the ERHC family. When this initial drilling campaign is completed, a total of five wells will have been drilled. Each well will be evaluated using several standard oilfield methods and the rock properties and reservoir fluids will be measured and evaluated.

As we stated previously, the purpose of this process is to test scientific conclusions and gather additional information. The information from these wells is helping the exploration team understand the geology and hydrocarbon potential of the various prospects being drilled. Perhaps more importantly, it is helping us understand the prospectivity of the entire area. This is a highly technical process that takes considerable time. The parties are working to ensure that operations are conducted to the highest industry standards. The focus is quality of work put into each well, not undue haste.

We are as excited about getting drilling results as the investment community is. In accordance with the practice in the JDZ, accurate, material information on the progress in the JDZ Blocks will emanate from the operators or the Joint Development Authority. ERHC will publish such information in a timely manner in accordance with our contractual and regulatory obligations.

The operators will determine when it is appropriate to release the drilling results. Sinopec has announced that its drilling results might be released in the fourth quarter with a caveat that such release is contingent upon numerous factors. Addax is expected to provide guidance in due course on the release of its results.

We appreciate the support of our shareholders and share their excitement. If you have questions, please submit them to Dan Keeney, our investor relations representative, at dan@dpkpr.com.

Sincerely,

Peter Ntephe

Update for Shareholders on Company Progress

Dan Keeney — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GMT

To ERHC Shareholders:

I am happy to update the ERHC Energy family on the company’s recent progress.

First of all, many congratulations are due this Company and its technical partners, Sinopec Corporation (“Sinopec”) and Addax Petroleum Corporation (“Addax”) in the Nigeria-São Tomé and Príncipe Joint Development Zone (JDZ). Drilling is now underway in JDZ Blocks 2 and 4 in which ERHC has interests. This is an exciting time for the ERHC family. It has taken years of hard work and determination to get to this point and we are all proud of what this Company has achieved.

It is remarkable that exploration in the JDZ is currently being driven by ERHC’s technical partners. In addition, ERHC has interests in more of the JDZ Blocks than any other company. We are therefore a premier player in the region where our role has historically been and continues to be fundamental.

The start of exploratory drilling in the Blocks is the third step in a five step process towards realizing the Company’s assets in those Blocks. We are therefore more than halfway there already! The process started with acquisition of the Company’s oil and gas assets. In step two, geologists and engineers used cutting edge technologies to evaluate prospects.

The current exploration phase involves testing the scientific conclusions and gathering additional information. If all goes as expected, exploration will be followed by full field development activities to establish the subsea production infrastructure. And finally, thereafter, we will be ready for the ultimate step: oil and gas production to realize the value of our assets.

As you can imagine, each step takes considerable expertise and the resulting production, if in commercial quantities, may considerably enhance shareholder value. It is, however, important for everyone associated with ERHC to understand that each step takes time, financial resources and work. No guarantees can be given at this stage that there will be production in commercial quantities.

Exploratory Drilling

In JDZ Block 2, in which ERHC has a 22 percent interest, Sinopec has commenced drilling the Bomu-1 prospect with the Sedco-702 semisubmersible rig. Due to the capacity of the Sedco-702, we expect it will take approximately 45 days to drill the Bomu-1 Prospect, although the actual timing is dependent on many factors, such as drilling penetration rate, fluids encountered, borehole stability and equipment maintenance, among others.

Also last week, Addax began drilling the Kina prospect in JDZ Block 4, in which ERHC has a 19.5 percent interest. Addax is using the highly sophisticated Deepwater Pathfinder drill ship. We estimate drilling the initial well will take approximately 30 days.

A commercial oil discovery is certainly the desired outcome. Over the coming four months, a total of five wells are expected to be drilled. Each well will be evaluated using several standard oilfield methods and the rock properties and reservoir fluids will be measured and evaluated.

The information from these wells will assist in understanding the geology and hydrocarbon potential of the various prospects being drilled. More importantly, it will help the exploration team to understand the prospectivity of the entire area.

The drilling later this fall in the Lemba prospect in JDZ Block 3 will also provide critical information. Last week, Addax announced it had acquired an additional 51 percent stake in JDZ Block 3 from Anadarko and will assume the operatorship of the Block. This is great news for ERHC as it accelerates the drilling timeline for Block 3 and further integrates the drilling campaign between the various Blocks in which the Company has interests.

It is anticipated that the Deepwater Pathfinder will drill the Lemba prospect in Block 3 in late-September or early-October this year after drilling the Kina prospect in Block 4.

We are working in what we expect to be a large oil field encompassing many prospects throughout the JDZ. Whether one prospect proves to be a major or modest discovery is less important than what we learn about prospectivity throughout the wells being drilled. While it may be tempting to score each individual well as pass/fail, this is not how exploration is done.

Reliable Information Sources

Analyzing drilling results and incorporating them into the relevant geologic and fluid models takes time. Moving from field appraisal and development and onto production takes time. There are no shortcuts. As has been the case in the past, we will continue to work diligently at it all. There are certainly exciting times ahead but please be cautious about putting undue reliance on rumors and speculation in the coming months as these important processes are undertaken. As has been the practice in the JDZ, accurate, material information on the progress in the JDZ Blocks will emanate from the operators or the JDA. ERHC will publish such information in a timely manner in accordance with our contractual and regulatory obligations.

To make it easier to access information about the Company, ERHC recently upgraded its Web site. I encourage you to visit www.erhc.com and see our new and more vibrant look that is designed to make it easier to see all that is happening in these exciting times.

The start of exploratory drilling in two of our JDZ Blocks is yet another significant milestone achieved in the remarkable journey that ERHC has been on. The Company continues to progress toward its vision. We eagerly anticipate the accomplishment of more objectives on our JDZ assets in the coming months.

Our shareholders have been remarkably supportive and committed through the journey so far. I thank you all for your continued interest in ERHC and your trust. If you have questions, please submit them to Dan Keeney, our investor relations representative, at dan@dpkpr.com.

Sincerely,

Peter Ntephe
Chief Operating Officer

Frequently Asked Questions

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:48:07 GMT

The following responses are intended to answer the questions currently being posed to the company. We will make every attempt to keep this FAQ section as up-to-date as possible, and appreciate your referencing this section of our website frequently for clarification of facts. Naturally, the content here will evolve as developments occur. Q. Will ERHC remain in a US exchange or are the plans to move it all to the AIM? Will it just be a subsidiary of ERHC's going to the AIM....or a dual listing? How can the co make a move to the AIM without knowing exactly what their intents are? We’ve tried to be clear, but also need to leave room for the advisors that we’ve engaged to provide value. The company’s management has described a pretty clear plan to list a subsidiary – one with none of the JDZ or EEZ assets – on the AIM. It would have no effect on ERHC’s current U.S. stock listing. As described originally, the parent company, ERHC Energy Inc., would...

ERHC Energy Milestones

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:44:34 GMT

ERHC Energy has come a long way from its roots as an environmental remediation company. In 1996, ERHC narrowed its focus and began operating solely as an independent oil and gas company. Following are some milestones ERHC has achieved as it makes progress toward maximizing corporate value and shareholder returns by leveraging its assets in the Joint Development Zone (JDZ) between Sao Tome & Principe and Nigeria and in the exclusive waters of São Tomé & Príncipe (EEZ) and by pursuing other upstream and downstream oil and gas opportunities wherever attractive projects can be acquired at low cost and transformed into valuable oil and gas assets. In May 1997, ERHC entered into an exclusive joint venture with São Tomé & Príncipe. ERHC sought that agreement because it identified the possibility of significant reserves offshore of Sao Tome & Principe years before anyone else did and was willing to undertake the hard work necessary to realize the value of...

So Tom Exclusive Economic Zone

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:00:14 GMT

The National Petroleum Agency of São Tomé & Príncipe (ANP-STP) on behalf of the Government of São Tomé and Principe has awarded ERHC Energy 100 percent working interests in Blocks 4 and 11 of the São Tomé & Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

The ANP-STP has indicated that it expects to invite ERHC to negotiate Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) on the two Blocks in due course.

In addition to the two Blocks already awarded, ERHC has rights to acquire up to a 15 percent paid working interest in two additional blocks of its choice in the EEZ. The ANP-STP has informed the Company that selection of these other blocks will take place at a later date to be determined.

ERHC will be responsible for its proportionate share of exploration and exploitation costs in the EEZ blocks.

The São Tomé & Príncipe EEZ encompasses an area of approximately 160,000 square kilometers south and east of the Nigeria/São Tomé & Príncipe Joint Development Zone and surrounding the volcanic islands of Príncipe and São Tomé. Block 4 is situated directly east of the island of Principe. Block 11 is directly east of the island of Sao Tome.

Ocean water depths around the two islands exceed 5,000 feet, depths that have only become feasible for oil production over the past few years; however, oil and gas are produced in the neighboring countries of Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Congo.

The African coast is less than 400 nautical miles offshore, which means the exclusive economic zones of the concerned countries overlap.

Facts About ERHC

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 20:50:33 GMT

Plans for Exploratory Drilling ERHC Energy works closely with its technical partners Addax Petroleum and Sinopec Corp. on matters related to exploratory drilling. In March 2009, Addax announced plans to take possession of the deepwater drill ship Deepwater Pathfinder before the end of the third quarter of 2009.
