Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure

On January 19, 2009 we announced that we have completed rig mobilization and have begun drilling the Montmello 1 exploration well, within the Talora Block, which lies just southwest of Bogota, Colombia. The Montmello 1 well will be drilled to a total depth of 4,640ft and targeting the La Tabla (Monseratte) Formation. Our company holds a 20% participation stake through our wholly-owned subsidiary PetroSouth Energy Corp.

We have also completed our 70km 3D seismic shoot in our Buenavista Block and are currently evaluating this new information for two new drilling locations. The two well packages will consist of one development well and one exploratory well to begin drilling operations by the end of the first quarter in 2009.

We have repurchased our interest back from Cobra Oil and Gas in the North Semitropic project located in the San Joaquin Basin, Kern County, CA.
