Salt Lake City, September 12, 2005, - FX Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: FXEN) announced
today that drilling has commenced on the Company's Sroda-5 well in western
Poland. The well is planned to test a Rotliegend sandstone target located

production earlier this year. FX Energy owns a 49% interest in the Sroda-4 and
Sroda-5 wells; the Polish Oil and Gas Company owns 51% and is the operator.

FX Energy, Inc., is an independent oil and gas company focused on exploration,
development and production opportunities in the Republic of Poland. The Company

Basin. The Permian Basin's gas-bearing Rotliegend sandstone is a direct analog
to the Southern Gas Basin offshore England, and represents a largely untapped

untapped potential in the belief that it can create substantial growth in oil
and gas reserves and cash flows for its stockholders. The Company trades on the
Nasdaq National Market under the symbol FXEN.
