ERHC Energy Inc. Technical Partner to Take Possession of Drilling Rig This Week

HOUSTON, TX, Aug 19, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- ERHC Energy Inc. (ERHE), a
publicly traded American company with oil and gas assets in the highly
prospective Gulf of Guinea off the coast of West Africa, today announced that its
technical partner, Sinopec Corp., will take possession of the SEDCO 702
semi-submersible drilling rig this week. The rig will be used to drill the Bomu-1
Prospect in Block 2 of the Joint Development Zone (JDZ) in which Sinopec is the
operator and ERHC has a 22 percent interest.

"The Bomu-1 prospect is one of several prospects in JDZ Block 2 identified from
3-D seismic analysis and interpretation," said Peter Ntephe, chief operating
officer with ERHC. "The work during the next 45 days or so will focus on a number
of potential exploration targets at different depths and will considerably aid in
understanding the geology and hydrocarbon potential of this and other prospects
in the Block."

Sinopec has announced it will spud the Bomu-1 well before the end of August. The
water depth is approximately 5,400 feet. Sinopec will drill to a total depth of
approximately 11,600 feet subsea.

ERHC Energy has interests in six of the nine Blocks in the offshore Nigeria-Sao
Tome and Principe Joint Development Zone. The Company has additional interests in
the territorial waters of Democratic Republic of Sao Tome & Principe known as the
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
