 Endeavour Announces 2009 Third Quarter Financial and Operating ResultsNovember 4, 2009 HOUSTON, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Endeavour International Corporation (NYSE Amex: END) (LSE: ENDV) today reported discretionary cash flow for the third quarter of 2009 of $7.6 million and net income (loss), as adjusted, of $(6.4) million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, discretionary cash flow was $50.0 million and net income (loss), as adjusted, was $27.5 million. "We continue to make significant progress on our developments in the United Kingdom and build momentum on our initiatives in the United States," said William L. Transier, chairman, chief executive officer and president. "Our third quarter operating results were challenged by planned and unplanned downtime in the North Sea, especially on Goldeneye. We expect the fourth quarter to return to more normal levels." On a GAAP basis, net income (loss) to common stockholders was ($7.2) million for the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $75.5 million in the same quarter in 2008. On a GAAP basis, net income (loss) to common stockholders was ($19.6) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to ($10.7) million in the same period in 2008. Highlights for the third quarter are as follows: Debt repayment - During 2009, Endeavour has repaid bank debt of $65 million using cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of Norwegian assets. The mid-year redetermination resulted in no required repayments. As developments in the United Kingdom progress and the Field Development Plan (FDP) filing and approval process continues, the company is engaged with its bank group to expand current borrowing arrangements to include a typical development facility providing additional funding flexibility. Acquisition of working interest in five fields in the United States - Endeavour has acquired 50 percent of the working interest owned by Cohort Energy Company, a subsidiary of J-W Operating Company, in 24 wells located in five fields and certain proved undeveloped locations associated with the proved developed assets in North Louisiana and East Texas for $15 million. Endeavour estimates that net proved producing reserves associated with these assets are 4.3 billion cubic feet equivalent of natural gas and that total net proved reserves are 13.1 billion cubic feet equivalent with inclusion of proved undeveloped locations. Net production acquired is currently 3.9 million cubic feet per day of natural gas or 650 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Continued exploration and appraisal drilling in the United Kingdom - Endeavour is scheduled to drill two exploratory wells in late 2009 or early 2010 and two appraisal wells in the North Sea during the first half of next year. The activities include:
-- Two wells are planned for the Cygnus field to appraise the gas potential
of the western half of the field. The wells have the potential to
double the size of the estimated recoverable reserves from the previous
exploration and appraisal activities now estimated at 535 billion cubic
feet. Endeavour has a 12.5 percent interest in the field.
-- The company has entered into a farm-in agreement with Nexen Petroleum
U.K. Limited to drill the Deacon prospect in Block 15/28c with a spud
date anticipated as early as the fourth quarter. The well will test a
Jurassic prospect in the company's R-block area of the North Sea with an
estimated volume of up to 60 million barrels of condensate. Endeavour
holds 10 percent interest in the prospect.
-- The Platypus exploratory well in Block 48/1 is slated for drilling in
early 2010. The prospect will test the Rotliegendes formation with an
estimated volume of up to 80 billion cubic feet of natural gas.
Endeavour holds a 25 percent interest in the prospect.
Onshore activity in the United States - Endeavour currently has underway drilling projects in New Mexico and Texas.
-- Three wells are at various stages of maturity in the emerging Wolfcamp
oil play in Southeast New Mexico. Endeavour holds a 42 percent net
revenue interest in the wells.
-- The Lucky Penny well has been completed and is currently producing.
-- The Moore Bailout well has been drilled and is currently flow
testing.
-- The Bada Bing well is currently drilling.
-- Additional testing has been approved for the Armour Runnels #1
exploration well located in Matagorda County in South Texas. The
shallower Middle Wilcox section has up to eight stage tests planned that
will involve flow testing and procedures to stimulate production.
Endeavour holds a seven percent net revenue interest.
Ongoing progress in development of three new fields in the North Sea - Work continues on the development of three discoveries following successful appraisal programs that heightened the potential of the fields:
-- Rochelle - The development project is progressing strongly and the FDP
filing is expected in December 2009. Production is expected to begin in
the second quarter of 2011. Endeavour holds a 55.6 percent interest in
the development and is the operator.
-- Cygnus - Following the successful appraisal of the eastern area of the
field early in 2009, the development project is progressing well with
production from the first phase expected to begin mid 2011. The two
appraisal wells in the western half in early 2010 will provide data to
scale the facilities in the second and third phases of the development.
-- Columbus - Having now identified the most likely export host facility,
the development project is progressing with production expected in 2012.
Endeavour holds a 25 percent interest in the development.
2009 Outlook The table below sets forth a range of estimates for the company's operating statistics for the full year ending December 31, 2009 following the completion of the sale of Norwegian assets.

For more information, visit http://www.endeavourcorp.com. Additional information for investors: Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking and are based upon Endeavour's current belief as to the outcome and timing of future events. All statements, other than statements of historical facts that address an activity that Endeavour plans, expects, believes, projects, estimates, or anticipates will, should or may occur in the future, including future production of oil and gas, future capital expenditures and drilling of wells and future financial or operating results are forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements herein include the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices for oil and gas, operating risks and other risk factors as described in Endeavour's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, Endeavour's actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. Endeavour is also subject to the requirements of the London Stock Exchange and considers the disclosures in this release to be appropriate and/or required under the guidelines of that exchange. We may use certain terms, such as probable, possible and potential reserves or resources, that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in our filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by Endeavour. Potential resources may not constitute reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer's Petroleum Resource Management System and does not include any proved reserves. Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered from Endeavour's interests may differ substantially. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include oil and gas pricing, the scope of our ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors; and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 10-K and each of our Form 10-Qs, available free of charge on our internet site (http://www.endeavourcorp.com). You can also obtain these forms from the SEC on the SEC's internet site (http://www.sec.gov) or by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands)
As required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
provided below are reconciliations of net income (loss) to the following
non-GAAP financial measures: net income, as adjusted, Adjusted EBITDA and
discretionary cash flow. We use these non-GAAP measures as key metrics
for our management and to demonstrate our ability to internally fund
capital expenditures and service debt. The non-GAAP measures are useful
in comparisons of oil and gas exploration and production companies as they
exclude non-operating fluctuations in assets and liabilities
