ERHC Energy Inc. Commences Airborne FTG Survey of Kenya Block 11A

Information from up to 15,500 line kilometers will identify promising areas for
acquisition of 2D seismic data

HOUSTON, November 18, 2013 – ERHC Energy Inc. (OTCBB: ERHE), a publicly traded
American company with oil and gas assets in Sub-Saharan Africa, today announced
that its wholly owned subsidiary, ERHC Energy Kenya Ltd., has commenced an
airborne Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry (FTG) survey of Block 11A in
northwestern Kenya. The FTG survey, which aids significantly in the structural
mapping of prospective hydrocarbon basins, will encompass up to 15,500 line
kilometers.

The announcement follows news from ERHC last week that it has concluded a
farm-out agreement for Block 11A with a renowned integrated oil and gas company,
subject to the consent of the government of the Republic of Kenya.

Block 11A encompasses approximately 11,950 square kilometers or 2.95 million
acres, and is located to the north of the Lokichar Basin where the significant
Ekales-1, Ngamia-1 and Twiga South-1 oil discoveries were drilled. The proximity
and in-trend relationship of the Lotikipi plain – the main surface feature of
Block 11A – with those blocks as well as the Abu Gabra Rift basins of southern
Sudan, which are established petroleum provinces, suggest a high prospectivity
for hydrocarbons.

"We are thrilled to be moving forward with this crucial element of ERHC's oil
and gas exploration work program in Kenya," said Dr. Peter Thuo, general manager
of ERHC Energy Kenya Limited. "The information currently being gathered will
enable the exploration team to focus on the most promising areas for acquisition
of 2D seismic data, which is the next step in the work program for the Kenya
Block."

By flying a dense grid of flight lines, the FTG survey measures small changes in
gravity caused by changes in density of subsurface rocks, providing valuable
information which can be used to more accurately pinpoint hydrocarbon deposits.
When combined with other existing geologic data, the information from the FTG
survey will advance ERHC's understanding of the geological structure of the
area, which helps us to identify potential leads and prospects.

The FTG survey method has been used successfully in Africa and contributed to
recent oil discoveries in Uganda and Kenya. Bell Geospace, a world leader in
gravity gradiometry, is flying the FTG on ERHC's behalf.

In addition to Kenya Block 11A, ERHC's oil and gas exploration interests extend
across the African continent, including the Republic of Chad, the São Tomé and
Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and the Nigeria- São Tomé and Príncipe
Joint Development Zone (JDZ).
