GeoMet Announces Borrowing Base Determined at $135 Million

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - November 4, 2009) - GeoMet, Inc. (NASDAQ: GMET) today announced that the Company's bank syndicate, led by Bank of America, set the Company's borrowing base at $135 million after completing their Fall borrowing base determination. This represents a less than 4% reduction from the previous determination of $140 million completed in the Spring of this year. The next regularly scheduled borrowing base determination will be based on the December 31, 2009 reserve report as prepared by independent reserve engineers. Commitments under the credit agreement expire in January 2011 and borrowings at September 30th totaled $119.5 million.

Commenting on the borrowing base determination, William C. Rankin, Executive Vice President and CFO, said, "We are very pleased with this outcome in light of gas prices being at a seven-year low. In this determination, the Company benefited from long lived, shallow decline reserves, a favorable hedge position and significant reductions in operating and administrative costs."
