Mesa Energy Announces Successful Well Test

DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
Mesa Energy, Inc. (Pink Sheets:MSEG) is pleased to announce the
successful testing of the Cook #1 gas well in its Coal Creek Prospect.
The well was tested on May 13, 2008, and flowed 900 thousand cubic
feet per day on a 32/64ths choke. Final construction of approximately
three miles of pipeline which will connect the Cook #1 and future
wells to an Arkansas Oklahoma Gas Company (AOG) sales line is expected
to begin in a few days.

In addition, a rig has been scheduled for June 15, 2008, to drill
and complete the Gipson #1, a direct offset to the Cook #1 and a twin
to the Eglinger #1. The Eglinger #1 was drilled in 1944 in search of
oil and encountered gas in two Brent Sand zones between 1,200 and
1,300 feet. It tested 1.5 million cubic feet per day from these
intervals. Due to the lack of a viable gas market at that time, this
well was not hooked up and was later plugged. The Gipson #1 will be
drilled to a total depth of approximately 4,500' to test the Brent
Sand as well as other prospective zones.

The Coal Creek Prospect is an 800 acre developmental prospect
targeting the Brent Sand, a shallow gas reservoir present in the
Arkoma Basin of eastern Oklahoma. We believe there could be several
additional offset drilling locations and expect additional wells to be
drilled later in 2008 as part of the overall development plan for the
property.

Randy M. Griffin, Mesa's Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are
extremely pleased with the results of the testing of the Cook #1 and
look forward to commencement of production in this field very soon."
