Eagle Rock Energy Partners, L.P. Declares a Cash Distribution of $.41 per Unit, 2.5% Distribution Increase, for the Second Quarter 2008 and Announces Second Quarter 2008 Earnings Release Date and Conference Call Information

HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--
Eagle Rock Energy Partners, L.P. (Nasdaq GS:EROC) (the
"Partnership") today declared a cash distribution of $0.41 per unit
for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, a 2.5% increase to its
distribution made for the first quarter of 2008 and in line with its
previously-announced plan to recommend such distribution to the Board
of Directors. The distribution, which equates to $1.64 per unit on an
annualized basis, will be paid August 14, 2008 to all unitholders of
record as of August 8, 2008.

Joseph A. Mills, chairman and chief executive officer stated, "Our
diversified asset base once again delivered strong financial results
and operating performance. The Company's assets and cash flows support
the distribution increase despite the previously announced, scheduled
downtime at our Big Escambia Creek ("BEC") plant in April, and the
fact that our Stanolind acquisition only favorably impacted our
financial results for two months in the quarter. With a full quarter
of Stanolind's operations and normalized operations across all of our
assets, we expect to recommend to our Board of Directors a further
increase to our third quarter 2008 distribution."

The Partnership also announced today it will report second quarter
2008 financial results after the market closes for trading on Tuesday,
August 5, 2008. A second quarter earnings call will be held at 9 a.m.
CT (10 a.m. ET) on Wednesday, August 6, 2008.
