The optioned property contains three previously producing gas wells and the delivery infrastructure to transport the gas to onshore facilities. Victory Energy will have a 100 percent working interest and 75 percent net revenue interest in this project.

Robert Miranda, Victory Energy's Chairman and interim CEO, stated, "As part of our due diligence on the site, we will thoroughly evaluate these wells and the pipeline infrastructure to determine their viability. During the option period, we will also explore for additional drilling opportunities.

"This addition to our company's portfolio of assets marks a new beginning for Victory Energy. The area around South Padre Island is well-known for its natural gas reserves and should offer our company the potential for increasing our output. Our hope for this site, and our reason for acquiring this option, is that it will produce enough natural gas to complement our revenue stream from our already-producing Adams-Baggett gas wells located in Ozona, Texas."

Based on the positive results of this first well and the previously identified multiple oil and gas pay zones above this producing formation, the company will immediately begin evaluating locations for a second well on the acreage. Several additional development wells may be drilled if production warrants. Field rules established by the State of Texas will determine the exact number of wells.

Robert Miranda, Victory Energy's chairman and CEO, stated, "These preliminary completion results are outstanding and offer the first sizable validation of our ability to use our extensive network of oil and gas contacts to deliver immediate value to our shareholders. Wells of this quality and with reserves of this size are not typically available to micro-cap companies like Victory Energy. The additional development drilling opportunities available on the Tunis acreage could afford us at least two additional years of drilling at this location."

Victory Energy, through its partnership with Aurora Energy Partners, holds a 5 percent working interest and a 3.75 percent net revenue interest in this oil focused prospect.

About the Tunis Creek Prospect
The company acquired its interest in the prospect from well-known Midland, Texas based V-F Petroleum Inc., who is also the operator of the well. The University "6" #1 Tunis Creek well is located twenty-five miles due east of Fort Stockton, Texas, in eastern Pecos County, and is surrounded by significant hydrocarbon shows in all targeted horizons.

Just over two thirds of a mile to the east-northeast in the same section, Midwest Oil opened the one-well Renaud & Tunstill field. That Midwest Oil well (1 University) is down dip of the Tunis Creek well and was completed in 1960. The 1 University well flowed 248 barrels of 43-degree oil per day from the Ellenburger formation at 6,810-95 feet and 1.65 million cubic feet of casinghead gas.

The prospect area is within the Central Basin Platform of the prolific Permian Basin and is located up dip of a previously producing oil and gas well. Hydrocarbon delivery infrastructure is nearby, including a natural gas pipeline. The 1,600 acre lease comprises two sections of block 20, University Lands survey.

About Victory Energy Corporation
Victory Energy Corporation is engaged in the exploration, acquisition, development, and exploitation of oil and gas properties. The company endeavors to utilize its broad range of oil and gas industry relationships to acquire small interests in a large volume of low- to moderate-risk oil and gas prospects. A cornerstone of this strategy is an emphasis on developing and maintaining relationships with proven, well established oil and gas exploration and development companies.

Prospect acquisitions are ideally weighted toward oil, although natural gas projects with high btu content, favorable above-market pricing and modest decline rates will also be targeted. Targeted prospects generally provide the company with a rapid return of capital while offering multiple well locations for additional drilling on an established trend. The model asset portfolio is geologically and geographically diversified. The company's current producing oil and gas assets are located in the United States.

The Jones County Oil Play - A fifth well (Olson #1) was spud on July 2nd and is currently drilling ahead to a target depth of 5,325 feet. A sixth well is scheduled to be spud upon completion of the Olson #1. The company hopes to participate in approximately two wells per month in the prospect area with each well targeting between 20,000 and 45,000 barrels of recoverable oil. Four wells have been drilled to date of which two wells were successful and are currently on production. Located in Jones County, Texas, this oil focused continuous drilling project is supported by 82 square miles of 3-D seismic imaging. The company holds a working interest of no less than 1.5 percent and up to 2.5 percent for each acreage block acquired.

The Alwan West Gas Prospect - The spud schedule has been moved up from the end of the month and is now expected to occur this week. The location contractor is now building the road, digging the pits and installing the pad. Drilling time is anticipated to be less than 15 days. The prospect well has a target depth of 7,100 feet with target formations consisting of the Frio and Yegua. Potential recoverable natural gas reserves are 8.75 billion cubic feet (BCF). Natural gas delivery pipelines are already in place. This well is located in Wharton County, Texas. The company owns a 5 percent working interest and a 3.8 percent net revenue interest.

The Atwood Secondary Oil Recovery Project - This oil focused waterflood project covers over 1,200 acres with 31 wells. Primary production was approximately 527,000 barrels of oil. Utilizing a waterflood, the company hopes to recover between 500,000-1,000,000 barrels of oil. Development work has now begun on the waterflood and is anticipated to conclude in the fourth quarter of this calendar year. Peak production is targeted within a year to 18 months from initial injection. The project is located in Hughes County, Oklahoma. The company owns a 2 percent working interest and a 1.58 percent net revenue interest in this project.

Further detail for each of these projects can be found on the company website at www.vyey.com. Victory Energy intends to provide periodic updates to the investment community as progress is made across its asset base.
