SCOTT, La., June 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ESP Resources, Inc.(OTC Bulletin Board: ESPI) announces the opening of a District Operation in Longview, TX for the supply, sales and service of Petrochemicals to Oil and Gas companies located in the Northeast Texas, Northwest Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas regions. The new District will be operated by the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, ESP Petrochemicals, Inc. The region is home to the Haynesville Shale formation – one of the most prolific shale gas formations ever discovered.

Our product line has gained favorable response from oil and gas companies operating in the region. Sales of our petrochemical products in this region have increased greater than 200% during the last six months and we anticipate additional sales increases in the future as acceptance of our petrochemical products gain traction throughout the area serviced by our new District operations," said David Dugas, President of ESP Resources, Inc.
