Epic Energy Resources Provides Operational Update

HOUSTON, May 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Epic Energy Resources, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: EPCC) ("Epic" or "the Company"), a provider of engineering, procurement, construction management, business consulting, and field services to the energy industry, provides the following operational update for the company:

Epic will begin work on two key projects with combined revenue of approximately $2,200,000 in the Rocky Mountain Region for a Houston based, major integrated energy company.  These projects will be serviced by Epic's field services group and are expected to be completed in November, 2010.  

Epic's engineering group has recently been awarded Phase I of a three-phase project in the UAE for an existing client providing process engineering and consulting services valued at approximately $500,000.  Phase I will begin immediately.

Epic's business consulting group has been awarded a second contract to assess a client's field operations for another of the client's producing assets in Texas and Louisiana.  Additionally, the business consulting group has recently added several process improvement projects for a mid-cap E&P client. Collectively, these new engagements will generate over $300,000 in revenue.

Argos Asset Management, LLC (an Epic JV) has spud its first well in Northern West Virginia with the intent to produce natural gas from the Marcellus Shale.  Argos will drill to a pre-determined depth (Phase-1) and will log the well to determine if it is commercially viable before completing the well for production.

Organizationally, Epic has started the process of transitioning most of its engineering group and certain back office support functions from Denver, CO to Houston, TX.  These changes are being made to pursue growing opportunities in the International, Houston, and broader Gulf Coast region markets.  It is also expected that this consolidation will have a positive impact on the Company's cost structure.  Epic will continue to support the Rockies region with a satellite engineering group. In addition, earlier this year, Epic completed registration of its first overseas office which is located in the UAE.

John S. Ippolito, President & CEO, stated, "We have strategically made the decision to relocate our core engineering group to Houston so that we are closer to what we believe will be our primary customer base and to better service the growing Gulf Coast region and international markets.  We also believe this complements our plan to reduce overhead costs and centralize back office functions to our Houston corporate office."
