Epsilon Energy Ltd. Divests Itself of Non-Core and Unproved Ohio Leasehold

CONCORD, ONTARIO, May 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Epsilon Energy Ltd. ("Epsilon" or the "Company") (TSX: EPS) is pleased
to announce that it has received approximately $6.26 million dollars from
the sale of non-core and unproved leasehold covering its Swan Creek and
Bootleg projects in Ohio. An additional amount of up to approximately
$450,000 may be realized if certain title issues are cleared within the
next 120 days.

Within the Swan Creek and Bootleg projects, the Company had a 100%
working interest in approximately 37,000 acres targeting the Lower Huron
and Rhinestreet shale gas formations. Mr. Fred Zaziski, Epsilon's
President and CEO stated "We have been afforded the opportunity to
cash-out some of our non-core and unproved acreage at a substantial
profit. We will now be able to re-deploy the proceeds of this transaction
into our horizontal drilling program in Pennsylvania which is focused on
the Marcellus shale, where we believe we will achieve a substantially
higher internal rate of return, as compared to the Lower Huron and
Rhinestreet shale gas formations".

About Epsilon Energy Ltd.

production of oil and natural gas reserves in the Middle East and North
