HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - April 23, 2008) - Chalker Energy Partners II today announced the recent closing of the sale of certain oil and gas properties in Harrison and Marion Counties, Texas to a major independent exploration and production company for an adjusted purchase price of $10.4 million.

Commenting on the transaction, Doug Krenek, President & CEO of Chalker II, said, "With this sale, we have now completed the sale of all of our East Texas assets. Our combined East Texas sales have netted proceeds to Chalker II of approximately $270 million. Looking forward, we plan on divesting our North Texas properties sometime this summer. These properties are owned and operated by Tempo Resources Ltd., a subsidiary company. I am very proud of the Chalker II team, the efforts of our dedicated staff and partners, and the accomplishments of all those involved since our formation in April 2006. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Quantum Energy Partners as we start up Chalker Energy Partners III later this summer. Our business plan going forward will be to focus upon strategically acquiring and exploiting acreage in east Texas and other opportunistic areas."
