DRILLING IN SWAN CREEK FIELD </FONT></H1>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>KNOXVILLE,
Tenn., </B>&#150; Tengasco, Inc. [AMEX:TGC] announced today that drilling began April 22,
2004 on a new gas well, the Hazel Sutton #3, in the Swan Creek field in Hancock County,
Tennessee. A contract for drilling services was entered into with Union Drilling of
Norton, Virginia. The Company intends to drill the Hazel Sutton #3 to the gas reservoir in
the Knox formation at an approximate depth of 5,000 ft, but may complete the Hazel Sutton
#3 as an oil well if commercial quantities of oil are encountered at a shallower depth. It
is expected the Hazel Sutton #3 well can be drilled to the depth of the Knox reservoir and
completed in approximately three weeks. Upon completion of the Hazel Sutton #3, Union
Drilling will move to another location and begin drilling the Paul Reed #12, which is also
expected to be a Knox gas well. Additional locations are being constructed for wells that
will be part of the future development of the Swan Creek field. Workovers are also
underway on a number of existing oil wells in both Tennessee and Kansas. The
Company&#146;s dispute with Bank One continues, but the rights offering that was completed
on March 19, 2004 produced working capital for the new drilling and workovers of existing
wells. </FONT></P>
