GULF PETROLEUM EXCHANGE, INC. (OTC: GFPE) "Up 66.66% on Monday"

Detailed Quote: http://www.otcpicks.com/quotes/GFPE.php

View Company Profile: http://www.otcpicks.com/profiles/gfpe/index.php

The founder and current president of Gulf Petroleum, Warren (Skip) Wheeler, has over 45 years' experience in drilling, production, refining and upstream sales sectors of the oil industry, and organized Gulf Petroleum Exchange in 1997 as a fuel and crude oil trading and brokering company. However, due to the precipitous decline in oil prices in late 1997, the company began utilizing the acquired knowledge of its president to perform on-site demulsification and reclamation of non-hazardous industrial and oilfield waste hydrocarbons and selling the resultant products into the appropriate markets, i.e. industrial fuel oil, crude oil etc.

Gulf Petroleum's goal is clear and straightforward, which is: determination to build a profitable company with a high revenue dollar per employee per barrel sold. To accomplish this requires engaging top-of-the-line people and outsourcing as much of the mundane as possible. Our motto is "Do a lot with a little"

Recent Announcements:

1. Gulf Petroleum Exchange, Inc. and Jeanblanc International Inc., a developer of a proprietary hydrocarbon desulfurization process, have entered into an agreement in which Gulf Petroleum will design the internal equipment of the desulfurizing plant for the separation of sulfur compounds from the hydrocarbons. Gulf Petroleum and Jeanblanc signed a 5-year evergreen contract. The contract is for the internal design, construction and management of the desulfurization plants for Petroleos Mexicanos (Mexican National Oil Company - PEMEX).

2. Gulf Petroleum Exchange, Inc. announced they have entered a Joint Venture agreement to Drill 5 Oil Wells at a time with Smith Oil Co. Smith Oil Co. is a 40-year-old oil production company, producing on 3,000 Contiguous Acres in the Illinois Basin (Western Kentucky Region). The Illinois Basin extends from central western Indiana through southern Illinois into western Kentucky and is historically a prolific oil and gas producing area; it has several oil-bearing formations that produce crude oil and gas as shallow as 250 feet. Recent calculations indicate that remaining recoverable resources in the Illinois Basin may be as much as 4.1 billion barrels. Thus, large quantities of oil, potentially recoverable using current technology, remain in the Illinois Basin oil fields.

UPDA News:

October 17 - UPDA Reports to Its Shareholders

In order to better communicate with its shareholders and interested investors, the board and management of UPDA (OTCBB:UPDA) will periodically report on the progress and state of the company. The following is the first of those reports.

On the operational side: UPDA completed its restructuring on July 11, 2005. Since then, it has entered into two oil and gas joint ventures. The first of these ventures is Canyon Creek Oil and Gas, Inc. (CCOG), in the state of Texas, and the second is West Oil and Gas, Inc. (West), in Utah.

CCOG is a joint venture with USProduction and Exploration, LLC (USPX). UPDA initially provided funding for the work-over of oil and gas wells on three properties and 2000 acres. Since then, UPDA funded the acquisition of four additional oil and gas properties, which increased the reserves of CCOG from $35 million to close to $200 million according to in-house estimates. The CCOG Coleman field is in partial production in both oil and gas since the last week of September and the work-over is being carried out on most of the other fields. As a result of UPDA's increased investment, its stake in CCOG will be increased to sixty five percent (65%).

West, a joint venture with Dark Horse Exploration and the Masaood Group USA, was signed in early October and consists of 4000 acres with six existing wells. As previously reported, this property contains reserves conservatively valued at approximately $500 million according to a proven reserve study. Work-over on one well has been completed and is in progress on the others. The Masaood Group USA will provide the necessary funding for the remaining work-over and the additional drilling of eighty (80) wells. UPDA controls sixty percent (60%) of West.

On Fiscal issues: The Board has been able to reduce the debt that was carried on the UPDA books by converting most of it to restricted equities. In addition, through an amended investment agreement, the chairman had provided UPDA with preferred securities valued at one million dollars and reduced the amount of outstanding common stock by over 1.4 million shares. This transaction was reported on the last 8-K that was filed October 10, 2005. These actions have improved the UPDA balance sheet and created shareholders' equity.

On Human Resources matters: In an effort to build a competent team to better serve the interests of the shareholders, the UPDA board is considering the engagement of two oil and gas specialists. The first is a field professional that will be retained to periodically inspect the expanding inventory of wells and report to the management on production issues. The second is a certified oil and gas geologist who will assist the board on future acquisitions. An office manager is also being interviewed in order to account for the revenues that will soon be reported.

On Real Estate projects: The UPDA board voted to disengage from all real estate transactions and to assign or transfer any transaction that had been in progress. This includes the Brathanhl building in Cleveland, the 600 Acres in Reno, the 42 acres in Florida and the Tucker project in Atlanta. As a result of these actions, UPDA will be able to focus its efforts and capital on the many oil and gas opportunities under consideration.

The Board of Directors of UPDA is committed to building and growing this company in the energy sector. As demonstrated by the progress of the past three months, UPDA is attaining its goals through the formation of Joint Ventures with energy partners and by expanding its existing joint ventures. UPDA will continue to strive to create and enhance its shareholders' value.
