Headquartered in Houston , Texas , and trading on the OTCBB, Southern Star Energy Inc. is an oil and gas exploration company with lease acreage properties in Louisiana . They own a 40 percent working interest in approximately 5,300 acres in the Sentell Field, located in the Cotton Valley trend north of Shreveport , Louisiana . The company believes the Cotton Valley area to be very promising because of the proven and probable reserves of 58 million barrels and 5.8 trillion cubic feet.

Southern Star Energy Inc.'s focus and strategy is to acquire under-drilled oil and natural gas leases, which have proven development-drilling opportunities. Once they acquire these opportunities the company works using all available technologies to increase the value of these assets. In the Cotton Valley sands, they have drilled five successful tests all of which are now producing revenue for the company. The Company is progressing with a 10-well development program this year. This involves drilling in the Cotton Valley sand and Haynesville shale.

Southern Star's North Louisiana/Cotton Valley Project is five miles north of Shreveport/Bossier City, Louisiana . Wells drilled in the Cotton Valley Trend are primarily natural gas. They normally have high probabilities of success, and have significant development potential and repeatability quotients. Because of technological advancements in drilling, evaluations, and completions, and the rise in oil and gas prices, the Cotton Valley is now one of the hottest plays in the United States . The North Louisiana/Cotton Valley prospect could lead to the drilling of 80 development wells.

The company's strategy is to provide long-term growth and increase shareholder value through the development of their relatively low risk program in the Cotton Valley Trend. Their development drilling plans are for one well per 160 acres which would give them 33 to approximately 60 wells.

Southern Star recently announced that they successfully drilled and logged the targeted Cotton Valley interval in their Atkins-Lincoln 17-2 Well with positive results. The well reached planned intermediate pipe depth of 9,500 feet on September 26, 2008. This well is strategically located in the center section of the Company's Sentell Field in Bossier Parish, Louisiana . The Atkins-Lincoln 17-2 is the second well in their 2008 development program and the first of two Haynesville Shale vertical test wells in the Sentell Field planned this year.

Today, the Company further announced that they successfully drilled and logged the targeted Haynesville interval in its Atkins-Lincoln 17-2 Well with positive results. The well reached a total depth of 11,300 feet on October 14, 2008.

David Gibbs, Southern Star President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The preliminary results from the Atkins-Lincoln 17-2 Well represent significant news in the history of Southern Star Energy. We believed that we might be sitting on top of a significant Haynesville position, and I could not be more pleased now that we have evidence that the Sentell Field is right in the middle of the Haynesville play."

Today, Southern Star Energy Inc. (SSEY) closed at $0.45, which was up $0.09 or 25.00 percent. Volume was 85,470 for a 3-month average volume of 23,263.60. The stock's 52-week range is $0.35 to $1.95.
