Progress on KWB Field Redevelopment



    DALLAS, July 21 /EMWNews/ -- Sonoran Energy, Inc. (OTC

Pink Sheets: SNRN), the independent oil and gas exploration and production

company, today announced it has successfully completed the latest phase in

its Central Texas KWB work program. The program involves the re-entry,

re-activation, and re-completion of wells in the Company's KWB field in Tom

Green County in Central Texas.



    Ralph Watkins, Sonoran Energy's COO commented: "Following our most

recent work, the field rate has been raised to over 600 thousand cubic feet

of LNG-rich gas (MCF) and 9 barrels of associated condensate per day. Work

continues with two rigs operating and hydraulic fracture stimulations

already planned on three recently re-completed wells. I am encouraged that

our most recent shallow gas re-completion flowed naturally at a rate of 250

MCF/D, and shut-in with a pressure of over 1,800 psi. With numerous

offsetting candidate wells, this recent success bodes well for our future

work in the field."



    Peter Rosenthal, Sonoran Energy CEO commented: "We are very pleased

with this result. It proves that we have a good methodology in place and we

intend to continue this program of re-completions over the weeks and months

to come. The fact that we can re-complete existing wells rather than

drilling new wells, makes this project especially attractive from an

economic viewpoint. We have a large inventory of wells to work on in Tom

Green County."



    Re-completions focus primarily on the Canyon and Cisco sands, plus at

least three additional horizons for which testing is planned. With a

significant inventory of available well-bores, Sonoran's program of

infrastructure expansion, re-completion, well stimulation, and

de-liquification enhancement offers significant opportunities ahead.



    While our success in West Texas represents a significant step forward

for Sonoran, it is critical for shareholder value creation that we extract

value from our Louisiana assets. We plan to step up our work there in the

very near future.
