HOUSTON -- GeoMet, Inc. (NASDAQ:GMET GMET - Graphical Munitions Effectiveness Table) ("GeoMet" or the "Company") announced today that the Virginia Supreme Court has vacated a temporary injunction temporary injunction n. a court order prohibiting an action by a party to a lawsuit until there has been a trial or other court action. A temporary injunction differs from a "temporary restraining order" which is a short-term, stop-gap injunction issued pending a hearing, at which time a temporary injunction may be ordered to be in force until trial. affecting completion of its pipeline interconnect from its Pond Creek Field to the Jewel Ridge Pipeline.

As previously announced on January 19, 2007, the Circuit Court of Tazewell County, Virginia issued a temporary injunction which halted GeoMet's construction of a portion of the 12 mile pipeline it is constructing to interconnect the Company's production from its Pond Creek field to the Jewel Ridge interstate pipeline operated by East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC.

 Gas Company, LLC ("CNX") may continue to pursue damages or a partition of the 32 acre property in dispute in the Tazewell court proceeding, but the Supreme Court's decision permits the Company to complete its pipeline through the disputed property. As a result of this ruling, GeoMet's pipeline interconnect to the new Jewell Ridge Pipeline is expected to be completed and fully operational in advance of the potential termination of the Company's existing gathering agreement with an affiliate of CNX on April 30, 2007.

Production from the Pond Creek field accounts for approximately 60% of the Company's gas production. Currently, gas production from the field is being gathered under an agreement with Cardinal States Gathering Company, an affiliate of CNX, for redelivery into the Columbia Gas Transmission interstate pipeline system.

GeoMet will continue to vigorously pursue its rights in any continuation of this litigation by CNX and the Company will continue to vigorously prosecute the antitrust action it filed against CNX and others as announced yesterday.
