                  DRILLING TO COMMENCE ON PROMETHEUS PROSPECT

WHAM Energy plc is pleased to announce that it has been advised by Centrica plc
that the Ensco 101 jack-up drilling rig is on location and is expected to start
drilling the Prometheus prospect on exploration licence P1132 covering blocks 
42/21 and 42/22 of the Southern North Sea. Drilling is expected to take
approximately 40 days.

WHAM Energy has a 20% working interest in the licence and is being carried
through the drilling costs by Centrica plc. The well is planned to test a gas
prospect in the Permian Leman sands at an approximate depth of 2745 metres.


Tom Windle, Chief Executive of WHAM, commented,

" WHAM has long pursued this prospect and is very pleased to see it drilled. It
is a vindication of the DTI's Promote Licence round initiative, having acquired
the prospect in the 21st licensing round. Now that we have achieved this goal we
are vigorously developing additional drilling opportunities on our 22nd Promote
licence awards.

" Since WHAM incorporated in early 2003, we have come a long way having acquired
10 licences with a number of potentially very attractive prospects; been awarded
an additional three blocks in the recent 23rd Licence Round; successfully
launched on the AIM market; and now we are participating in a very exciting
well."
