Posted on: Tuesday, 30 October 2007, 09:01 CDT

HOUSTON, Oct. 30, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Lucas Energy, Inc. (OTCBB:LUCE), a U.S. based independent oil and gas company, is pleased to announce that it has restored production to the RVS Oil Unit No.3 well after being shut in since December 2001.

Lucas Energy, Inc. received a new lease in January of 2007 for approximately 411 acres in Gonzales County, Texas, which included two shut in wells. Both wells are completed in the Austin Chalk formation with horizontal open hole completions. One of these wells, the RVS Oil Unit No.3, was recently reworked and tested 111 BOPD and 4 BWPD. Production from this well provides a significant increase in Lucas' daily production. Historically, the RVS Oil Unit No.3 well has produced 75,000 barrels of oil.

"We are pleased to bring another Lucas asset online. At today's oil prices, this well represents a dramatic increase in our daily production revenues," said William A. Sawyer, COO of Lucas Energy Inc.
