Sky Petroleum Announces Results for the 2007 First Quarter



    Sky Petroleum, Inc. (OTCBB: SKPI), an oil and gas company, today
    announced results for the 2007 fiscal first quarter ended March 31,
    2007. The company reported the Mubarek H2 well produced more than
    21,500 barrels of oil in the first quarter, averaging approximately
    238 barrels per day which resulted in net revenue of $969,226. The
    company generated a positive cash flow from operations of $622,788.

    "We are pleased with the first quarter financial performance and
    particularly our ability to generate over $600,000 in positive cash
    flow as well as keeping cash expenses for the quarter to around
    $500,000," said Brent Kinney, chief executive officer of Sky
    Petroleum, Inc. "The production from the H2 well appears to have
    stabilized to approximately 150 BOPD which should result in cash flow
    to Sky of about $150,000 to $200,000 per month depending on the price
    of oil, going forward."

    First Quarter Results

    Net revenues were $969,226 for the 2007 first quarter with total
    expenses of $1,480,768 which included $977,960 million in non-cash
    expenses. Non-cash expenses include depletion and depreciation as well
    as share based compensation. The company reported a net loss of
    $444,546 or $0.01 per share for the first quarter of 2007. Cash and
    equivalents along with accounts receivable were $6,694,909 for the
    quarter.

    Outlook

    Sky Petroleum expects to generate additional oil and gas revenue
    in the 2007 second quarter and for the balance of 2007. However,
    actual production may vary from our forecasts or estimates and does
    not include any additional production from other Mubarek wells,
    planned or contemplated, if any. In addition, we expect the drilling
    of the second well, for which funding has been paid, to commence
    during the second quarter of 2007. Timing will be conditional on when
    the rig, which has been contracted, arrives at the Mubarak Field.
