Exhibit 99.1
Rodman & Renshaw Investor Presentation New York, New York October 2010


 

2 This is an oral presentation which is accompanied by slides. Investors are urged to review our SEC filings. This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements regarding various oil and gas discoveries, oil and gas exploration, development and production activities, anticipated and potential production and flow rates; anticipated revenues; the economic potential of properties and estimated exploration costs. Accuracy of the projections depends on assumptions about events that change over time and is thus susceptible to periodic change based on actual experience and new developments. Endeavour cautions readers that it assumes no obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to the projections in this presentation and, except to the extent required by applicable law, does not intend to update or otherwise revise the projections. Important factors that might cause future results to differ from these projections include: variations in the market prices of oil and natural gas; drilling results; access to equipment and oilfield services; unanticipated fluctuations in flow rates of producing wells related to mechanical, reservoir or facilities performance; oil and natural gas reserves expectations; the ability to satisfy future cash obligations and environmental costs; and general exploration and development risks and hazards. The Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. SEC guidelines prohibit the use in filings of terms such as "probable," "possible," P2 or P3 and "non-proved" reserves, reserves "potential" or "upside" or other descriptions of volumes of reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to greater risk of being actually realized by the company. Certain statements should be regarded as "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the securities laws. These statements speak only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to assumptions, risk and uncertainty. Actual results or events may vary materially. The estimates of recoverable resources per well and completed well costs included herein are based upon other typical results in these shale plays and may not be indicative of actual results.

20 BACCHUS DEVELOPMENT Operator: Apache 70% Partner: Endeavour 10% Shell 20% FDP: Approved June 2010 Online: 2011 Discovery well 22/6a-14 was drilled in 2005, followed by a downdip sidetrack 22/6a-14Z, which tested at 1000 BOPD from upper part of the reservoir. In 2006, 22/6a-15 was drilled in the water leg in the eastern area. A three well subsea development tied back to Forties is planned. Subsurface technical evaluation is ongoing and we are awaiting commercial offers from Forties. The project has been sanctioned and first oil is expected in first half 2011.

Rochelle Development - UK Block 15/27 15/27-11 15/27-9 21 ROCHELLE DEVELOPMENT Operator: Endeavour 55.615% Partner: Nexen 44.385% FDP Filed: December 2009 Online: 2011 Rochelle was successfully appraised updip of discovered hydrocarbons in 15/27-9. The discovery was made in a four-way dip structure containing Lower Cretaceous sandstone within the R Block focus area. Gas and oil were logged, sampled and pressure tested in the 15/27-11 appraisal well. A drill stem test in the gas leg flowed at a rate of 41 MMCFPD and 2,300 BCPD from perforations in the upper 20 feet of a 77 feet hydrocarbon column. The development is being managed to achieve production in 2011. Exploration well in progress at West Rochelle, block 15/26c. R-Blocks Focus Area

23 Columbus Development - UK Block 23/16f COLUMBUS DEVELOPMENT Operator: Serica 50% Partners: Endeavour 25% EOG 25% FDP: Filed October 2008 Online: 2012 Columbus has gas trapped stratigraphically in a Paleocene channel on the western flank of the Magellan structure. The prospect was identified using seismic far offset amplitudes that imaged a gas reservoir and its basal flat spot. The partners have reached an agreement with BG to develop a bridge linked platform and subsea facilities to the Lomond platform. Negotiations to agree on the terms of use for the Lomond platform as a processing host and export point for Columbus produced fluids are at an advanced stage. We expect to file an updated FDP in late 2010. The on-block reserves are approximately 100 BCF gross.
