Friday June 1, 1:32 pm ET

DALLAS, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 1, 2007 -- Ignis Petroleum Group, Inc. (OTC BB:IGPG.OB - News) today provided the following operations and production update:

St. Jo Ridge (Barnett Shale) Field

Our program with W.B. Osborn Oil & Gas Operations ("WBO") to develop the field located in Montague and Cooke Counties, Texas, continues to progress and add to production. WBO owns 55% of the working interest and Ignis Barnett Shale, LLC ("IBS"), a partnership owned by Ignis Petroleum Group, Inc. and Silver Point Capital, owns 45%. The following are selected highlights:


-- As of the effective date, June 1, 2006, there were 14 producing wells.

-- Since June 1, 2006, we have drilled and completed 9 additional wells
and now have 23 wells producing oil and gas. In addition, we have one well
drilling and one well awaiting completion.

-- Gross production averaged 402 Bopd and 3,115 Mcfd in the first
quarter. Net production to IBS's position averaged 128 Bopd and 948 Mcfd in
the first quarter 2007 compared with 92 Bopd and 722 Mcfd in the fourth
quarter, an increase of 35% on a barrel of oil equivalent basis.

-- IBS also derives revenue from its 45% ownership in the 26-mile gas
gathering and treating system, which transports third-party gas in the
area. Gross throughput to the plant was steady at an average 3,540 Mcfd in
the first quarter 2007, compared with 3,679 Mcfd in the fourth quarter
2006.

-- To date, we have drilled four horizontal wells with three wells
presently producing oil and gas and one well in completion.

-- As reported earlier this year, we completed the purchase of additional
working interest in the Meador Ranch lease (721 gross acres) to increase
our working interest to 22% from 11%. This acquisition included production
from three existing wells.

Acom-A6 Well


-- The well located in Chambers County, Texas produced an average of 188
Bopd and 457 Mcfd in the month of April 2007. Through April 2007, the well
had produced approximately 96,000 gross barrels of oil and 309 gross Mmcf
of gas.

-- As previously reported, upon depletion of the currently producing
interval, several additional prospective zones behind pipe will be
considered for testing.

-- Ignis Petroleum Group, Inc. owns a 25% working interest in the well in
which Denbury Resources is the operator pursuant to their purchase of
Anadarko's interest in this well.

Sherburne Prospect


-- The Sherburne Field development prospect, located in Point Coupee
Parish, Louisiana, is still undergoing testing.

-- Drilling was completed in September 2006, pipe was set and two
intervals of interest were tested with non-commercial indications of gas.

-- The partners are currently considering an initiative to perforate and
test another prospective interval, the 9,400' sand. This interval appears
to have some water saturation from log analysis, but has produced a large
volume of natural gas historically from a number of wells in the area;
however, recently, the well has been inaccessible due to wet conditions in
the area.

-- Ignis has a 15% before payout working interest in the well in which
Rodessa Operating Company is the operator.

Barnett Shale Wells


-- The Inglish Sisters #3 well located in Cooke County, Texas continues
to produce and has made approximately 6,000 gross barrels of oil and 50
gross million cubic feet of gas from the Barnett Shale since coming on-line
last year.

-- Two additional wells, the Powell #1 and Powell #2 have been drilled
and completed but have not yet produced in commercial quantities. We
continue to investigate options in regard to these wells.

-- The Company has a 12.5% working interest in the wells in which ReoStar
Energy is the operator.
