Mesa Energy Holdings, Inc. Announces Results of Year-End 2011 Reserve Report on
South Louisiana Properties

DALLAS, Mar 26, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Mesa Energy Holdings, Inc. (the
"Company") (MSEH), an oil and gas exploration and production company, announced
today the results of an independent study of the Company's oil and gas reserves
on its five fields located in South Louisiana. This report is the Company's first
complete evaluation of its five fields since the acquisition of the properties in
July 2011 and has an effective date of January 1, 2012.

The report estimates that the Company's five fields have total proved reserves of
2.2 million barrels of oil and 7.87 billion cubic feet (BCF) of natural gas
valued at approximately $159 million in undiscounted future net income or $106.9
million in future net income using a discount rate of 10% (PV-10). The proved
producing reserves (PDP) are estimated to be 545 thousand barrels of oil and 2.6
BCF of natural gas with a PV10 value of approximately $33.8 million.

Total 3P reserves (proved + probable + possible) are 14.9 million barrels of oil
and 40.88 BCF of gas valued at approximately $1.16 billion in net income in
undiscounted reserves or $631 million in future cash flow using a discount rate
of 10% (PV-10). Pricing was estimated on average at $106.19 per barrel of oil and
$5.14 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) of gas. The average pricing reflects
benchmark pricing (West Texas Intermediate and Henry Hub) plus the appropriate
differentials to the extent allowed by SEC guidelines.

Average net production for the 4th quarter of 2011 was approximately 357 barrels
of oil per day and 2,007 MCF of gas per day (691 BOED) from 18 wells online. The
Company anticipates a substantial increase in production this year as it
continues its recompletion and enhancement program. In addition, the Company
expects to commence the drilling of its inventory of proved undeveloped locations
later this year.

"We are thrilled to have completed our first thorough reserve report which gives
us a clearer picture as to the potential revenue stream over the next 20 years
from our South Louisiana properties. We believe the increase in reserves will
result in increased borrowing capacity under our senior debt facility which will
allow us to accelerate our drilling and recompletion plans for our south
Louisiana properties. We look forward to sharing our progress with our
shareholders and the investment community over the next several months," said
Randy M. Griffin, CEO of Mesa Energy Holdings, Inc.
