- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


FX Energy, Inc. announced on September 10, 1998, the commencement of operations
on the first well on its Lublin Basin project area in eastern Poland.  This
well, the Poniatowa 317-1, is the first of a seven well exploration program
underway in the Company's 5.6 million acre Lublin project area.

The Poniatowa 317-1 is operated by Apache Corp. (NYSE: APA), the Company's
partner in Lublin and is planned to test both Carboniferous and Devonian
formations reaching a total depth of approximately 2,600 meters.  The Polish Oil
and Gas Company is also expected to join in the well.  A surface permit has been
issued and O&GEC Crakow, the Polish drilling contractor for the Poniatowa well
is currently building a location prior to rig move-on.

Apache has reached an agreement with Wolomin Drilling to drill the second well
in Lublin, the Czernic 277-2.  Apache will also be the operator on the Czernic
well.

The first two well locations were selected following a 2,200 kilometer seismic
acquisition program and analysis of over 2,000 kilometers of existing seismic
data.  Multiple leads, or potential drilling targets, have been identified from
this program.

FX and Apache also have a three well exploration program planned in the
Carpathian region of southern Poland.

FX Energy explores for oil and gas in Poland where it also has exploration
rights in four project areas: Lublin, Carpathians, Baltic and Pomeranian.
