Energen Adds 2008 Natural Gas Hedges.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Energen Corporation (NYSE: EGN) announced that it has added to the 2008 natural gas hedge position of its oil and gas subsidiary, Energen Resources Corporation (ERC). The Company today sold contracts for an additional 3.6 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of ERC's 2008 natural gas production at a NYMEX price of $9.10 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf).This brings the Company's total natural gas hedge position in 2008 to 14.4 Bcf, or 22 percent of its estimated natural gas production of 64.8 Bcf, at a NYMEX-equivalent price of $8.87 per Mcf.

ERC's total hedge position for 2008 now stands at 30 percent of total estimated production of 98 Bcf equivalent. In addition to natural gas, Energen has hedged some of its 2008 oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) production:

* Approximately 2.2 million barrels, or 53 percent of its estimated 2008 oil production of approximately 4 million barrels, at an average NYMEX-equivalent price of $66.62 per barrel.

* Approximately 17.1 million gallons, or 27 percent of its estimated 2008 NGL production of some 63.7 million gallons, at an average price of approximately 91.4 cents per gallon.

Average natural gas and oil revenues per unit of production for ERC's production associated with NYMEX contracts will reflect the impact of basis differentials. Average NGL revenue per unit of production will be net of transportation and fractionation fees. For production associated with basin-specific contracts, ERC will receive the contracted hedge price and typically hedges basis differentials where applicable. The basin-specific contract prices have been converted for comparability purposes to a NYMEX-equivalent price by adding to them ERC's assumed basis differentials.

Energen Corporation is a diversified energy holding company with headquarters in Birmingham, AL. Its two lines of business focus on the development and production of domestic, onshore natural gas, oil and NGL reserves and natural gas distribution in central and north Alabama. Energen has approximately 1.7 trillion cubic feet equivalent of proved reserves in the San Juan, Permian and Black Warrior basins and in the North Louisiana/East Texas area.
