HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--Hyperdynamics Corporation (AMEX:HDY) announced that through its
wholly owned subsidiary SCS Corporation (SCS), in recent months,
Geoexperts' geological and geophysical contract services were
terminated for cause. The headline of the press release made by
Geoexperts today gave the erroneous impression that there was a legal
settlement between SCS and Geoexperts. The company reported that there
was no legal settlement but that SCS terminated the contract for cause
and a final payment for services was made in November.

   When asked to comment, Kent Watts, the Company's Chief Executive,
stated, "They were our contractor for about a year. They were paid for
their services. In the last several months, we have made substantial
and strategic changes regarding our exploration strategy, including
building our internal exploration team. For many reasons as assessed
by management, these changes did not include the prospect of any
future services from Geoexperts."

   On a different note, Mr. Watts said, "We look forward to great
things in 2008 and wish to take this time to wish all our shareholders
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year and otherwise Happy
Holidays."
