Ensource Energy Announces Change in Management and Investors.

HOUSTON -- Ensource Energy Income Fund LP ("Ensource") today announced that Scott A. Bedford has resigned from the board of directors of its general partner, Ensource Energy Fund, LP ("EEP"). Mr. Bedford's resignation was made in connection with the redemption of Ensource Energy Investors LLC's 62% limited partner interest in EEP. Prior to the redemption, Ensource Energy Investors was EEP's largest limited partner, and the redemption resulted in the payment of $12,460,832 to Ensource Energy Investors from the escrow that was established by EEP and its investors to fund the $20.05 million contribution by EEP to be made upon the successful closing of the exchange offer.

In addition, Ensource announced that the remaining limited partners of EEP have entered into an amendment to the EEP limited partnership agreement as a result of which the limited partners have agreed to contribute to EEP a total of approximately $20.1 million to be used to fund the $20.05 million contribution to be made upon the successful closing of the exchange offer. In connection with the amendment, Ritchie Energy North, L.P. ("REN") increased its capital contribution commitment from $5.0 million to approximately $17.47 million, representing an approximate 86.66% limited partner interest in EEP. REN's capital commitment is comprised of $5.0 million held in the escrow account with a financial institution as previously described, with the balance of its commitment to be funded upon the successful closing of the exchange offer.

As a result of Mr. Bedford's resignation, EEP's board of directors currently has four members and is comprised of Scott W. Smith (Chairman), Mark J. Warner, Jacob Roorda and S.P. Johnson IV, with one vacancy. REN, which now holds a majority in interest of the limited partner interests of EEP has the right to designate four of the five members to EEP's board of directors.

Ensource intends to supplement its exchange offer materials to reflect the changes described herein.
