HOUSTON, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rock Energy Resources, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RCKE), an independent domestic oil and natural gas company, today announced that it will be presenting at EnerCom's Oil and Gas Conference. Among topic's of discussion at the event will be single point financial guidance, in lieu of a range of estimates for Rock Energy's current oil and gas development projects, which include Diatomite and Monterey production in Orcutt and Diatomite production in NW Casmalia -- both located in Santa Barbara County; and Wilcox development projects in South Texas.

The Company is updating guidance based on a number of key events that have occurred over the last 90 days, which include:



    -- Proven success in the Orcutt Diatomite fields for the first three wells
    -- Recompletion of the Pintail #1 that will payout in 30 days
    -- Addition of a third property in the Santa Maria Valley that potentially
       has more than 900 million barrels of oil in place
    -- Increased interest in Orcutt from 4.5% to 7% and Casmalia to 7%, our
       first earned interest
    -- Progression towards earning up to its 20% interest in all three
       California properties
    -- Expectation to be cashflow positive by the fourth quarter of 2008
