TOREADOR REPORTS PROVED RESERVES AT DECEMBER 31, 2003

        DALLAS, TEXAS – (March 3, 2004) – Toreador Resources Corporation (NASDAQ: TRGL; TSX: TRX) today reports proved reserves totaling 15.6 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE) at December 31, 2003. Proved reserves at year-end 2003 included approximately 2.1 MMBOE that were sold effective January 1, 2004. After adjusting for the effect of the sale, the revised total proved reserves were 13.5 MMBOE.

        The net present value of proved reserves at December 31, 2003, was $116.1 million (using SEC valuation methodology), with approximately $31.3 million of the total representing the value of the reserves sold in January 2004. The following table shows the effect of the sale on proved reserves:

	12/31/2003	Sale of Proved Reserves at 01/01/2004	Revised Proved Reserves at 01/01/2004
Proved Reserves (BOE)	15,585,300	2,052,880	13,532,420
Net Present Value (using SEC	$ 116,071,220	$  31,258,820	$  84,812,400
methodology)

        Following the January sale of its U.S. mineral and royalty assets for approximately $45.0 million to Black Stone Acquisitions Partners I, L.P., Toreador began 2004 with proved reserves valued at $84.8 million and a strong balance sheet. The sale allowed the company to eliminate approximately $30.0 million of senior debt. Presently, about 88% of the company’s proved reserves are derived from its international assets and about 12% from its U.S. assets.

        During 2004, Toreador expects to replace the 675 barrels of production-per-day lost as a result of the U.S. asset sale with production from a rehabilitation and development program in its French and Romanian fields.

        At December 31, 2003, proved reserves of 15.6 MMBOE declined 0.5 MMBOE, or 3%, from proved reserves of 16.1 MMBOE at December 31, 2002. After deducting 2003 production of slightly more than 0.9 MMBOE, proved reserves at December 31, 2003, increased 0.4 MMBOE, or 2.5%, from the December 31, 2002, level.

        At December 31, 2003, the present value of Toreador’s proved reserves decreased 11% to $116.1 million, compared with $130.6 million at year-end 2002. The primary reason for the decline in value was a $1.83 reduction in the per-barrel price of Brent crude oil from the price on December 31, 2002. On December 31, 2002, Brent spot was $31.98 per barrel and on December 31, 2003, Brent spot was $30.15 per barrel for the purposes of SEC evaluation. SEC methodology requires the use of the spot market price as of the last day of the year for reserve pricing and subsequent present value calculation. This methodology reflects neither past nor future actual commodity prices received.
