<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'>Mark Hellerstein, Chairman and CEO, comments, &#147;2006 was a significant year for St. Mary.  We finished the year with record proved reserves, and exceeded our target of 200 percent reserve replacement by replacing approximately 244 percent of estimated production.  The Company is also forecasting record production and earnings for 2006.  We have continued to advance our prospect inventory in every region.  We also brought on Tony Best as President and my replacement and Jay Ottoson as COO to help continue to build on our legacy of creating value for the stockholder.  We are well positioned as we enter 2007.&#148;</p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'>&nbsp;</p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'>Tony Best, President, adds, &#147;We end 2006 with close to 500 PUDs and roughly 6,500 3P drilling locations, which is the best inventory set in the Company&#146;s history.  Our fourth quarter Sweetie Peck acquisition &#150; the largest purchase in the history of the Company - provides one more platform from which to grow and the integration of these assets is on schedule.  Our Midland, Texas office is set to open February 1, and we have filled the majority of the key technical positions.  We are currently running 12 operated rigs and are busy implementing our 2007 plan.  Production for the year is expected to grow by 13 percent from our estimated 2006 production.  The CEO transition plan has been going smoothly and the team remains focused on execution in this challenging commodity price and cost environment.&#148;</p>

The hedged volumes represent approximately 63 percent and 42 percent of our expected 2007 oil and gas production, respectively.  The majority of the oil trades are settled against NYMEX.

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font face="Arial" size=2>During the fourth quarter of 2006, St. Mary participated in the drilling of 143 conventional wells, of which 138 were completed as producers (97 percent success rate).  For the year 2006, the Company completed 335 conventional wells as producers out of the 354 total wells drilled (95 percent success rate).   During 2006, the Company also successfully recompleted 78 wells out of 95 attempts (82 percent success rate).  At year-end St. Mary was participating in the completion of 49 wells, the recompletion of 13 wells, and the drilling of 26 wells.  The Company also participated in 138 coalbed natural gas wells, 96 percent of which were operated, in Hanging Woman Basin during 2006.  This was an increase from125 wells  in 2005, bringing the total number of wells drilled in the project to 341 wells. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font face="Arial" size=2>In the Mid-Continent region there were 122 wells drilled with 117 successful completions during 2006.  </font>At Northeast Mayfield the Company continues to focus its efforts in the Atoka and Granite Wash formations.  St. Mary plans to continue to increase the drilling density to an 80-acre pattern.  As initial estimates indicate that each of the currently producing wells will drain significantly less than 80 acres, there remains additional potential in this field.  During the fourth quarter the Company completed five successful wells at Northeast Mayfield, including the Molly C 3-35 (SM 46% WI) at an initial rate of 4.6 MMcfe/d and the Wynona 1-34 (SM 53% WI) at an initial rate of 3.4 MMcfe/d. </p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'>In the Horizontal Arkoma program, St. Mary holds 38,700 net acres as of year-end, an increase of 94 percent year over year.  St. Mary continues to believe there is potential in the uphole Wapanucka limestone and the Cromwell sandstone formations.  However in order to earn leasehold to the deepest productive formation, the Company has focused its efforts on the Woodford shale.  In 2006, the Company made significant strides in improving its horizontal completion technique.  Two horizontal Woodford shale wells were drilled in the second half of 2006 using this improved technique with significantly improved results.  A third well was completing at year-end.  <font face="Arial" size=2>After year-end, this third well was completed and is currently flowing back completion fluid.  As noted earlier, the Company is continuing to seek additional acreage in the area and will continue to work on improving the completion design of these wells.</font></p>

These statements involve known and unknown risks, which may cause St. Mary&#146;s actual results to differ materially from results expressed or implied by the forward looking statements.  These risks include such factors as the </font>volatility and level of oil and natural gas prices,<font face="Arial" size=2> the uncertain nature of the expected benefits from the acquisition of oil and gas properties and the ability to successfully integrate acquisitions, the potential effects of increased levels of
debt financing, the imprecise nature of estimating oil and gas reserves, the availability of additional economically attractive exploration, development, and property acquisition opportunities for future growth and any necessary financings,</font> <font face="Arial" size=2>and other such matters discussed in the &#147;Risk Factors&#148; section of St. Mary&#146;s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.  Although St. Mary may from time to time voluntarily update its prior forward looking statements, it disclaims any commitment to do so except as required by securities laws.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font face="Arial" size=2>The SEC permits oil and gas companies to disclose in their filings with the SEC only proved reserves, which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.  St. Mary uses in this press release the terms &#147;probable&#148; and &#147;possible&#148; reserves, which SEC guidelines prohibit from being included in filings with the SEC.  Probable reserves are unproved reserves which are more likely than not to be recoverable.  Possible reserves are unproved reserves which are less likely to be recoverable than probable reserves.  Estimates of probable and possible reserves which may potentially be recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques are by their nature more uncertain than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are
subject to substantially greater risk of not actually being realized by the Company.  In addition, our production forecasts and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases.</font></p>
