Exhibit 99.1

Annual Meeting of Stockholders Houston May 29, 2009


 

This is an oral presentation which is accompanied by slides. Investors are urged to review our SEC filings. This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements regarding various oil and gas discoveries, oil and gas exploration, development and production activities, anticipated and potential production and flow rates; anticipated revenues; the economic potential of properties and estimated exploration costs. Accuracy of the projections depends on assumptions about events that change over time and is thus susceptible to periodic change based on actual experience and new developments. Endeavour cautions readers that it assumes no obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to the projections in this presentation and, except to the extent required by applicable law, does not intend to update or otherwise revise the projections. Important factors that might cause future results to differ from these projections include: variations in the market prices of oil and natural gas; drilling results; access to equipment and oilfield services; unanticipated fluctuations in flow rates of producing wells related to mechanical, reservoir or facilities performance; oil and natural gas reserves expectations; the ability to satisfy future cash obligations and environmental costs; and general exploration and development risks and hazards. The Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. SEC guidelines prohibit the use in filings of terms such as "probable," "possible," P2 or P3 and "non-proved" reserves, reserves "potential" or "upside" or other descriptions of volumes of reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to greater risk of being actually realized by the company. Certain statements should be regarded as "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the securities laws. These statements speak only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to assumptions, risk and uncertainty. Actual results or events may vary materially.

ROCHELLE APPRAISAL Operator: Endeavour 55.615% Partner: Nexen 44.385% FDP Filing: End 2009 Online: 4Q2010 Rochelle successfully appraised discovered hydrocarbons up-dip from the Rochelle oil and gas discovery. The discovery was made in a three-way Lower Cretaceous sandstone stratigraphic wedge trap within the R Block focus area. Gas and oil were logged, sampled and pressure tested. A drill stem test in the gas leg flowed at a rate of 41 MMCFPD and 2,300 BCPD from perforations in the upper 20 feet of a 77 feet hydrocarbon column. The development is being fast-tracked to achieve production in 2010.

The well encountered Leman reservoir seen in Fault Block I, with a similar gas/water contact and flowed at a rate of 32.4 MMCFPD. The Cygnus Fault Block III appraisal well was drilled and flow tested at a rate of 32 MMCFPD from the targeted Rotliegendes Leman reservoir. Both well tests exceeded pre-drill expectation. To date, approximately 500 BCF gross have been discovered and appraised with additional reserves yet to be confirmed in Fault Blocks IIa, IV and V. Upside reserves could be 1.0+ TCF.
