Swift Energy Announces:
     Second Quarter 2010 Earnings of $12.5 Million, or $0.32 Per Diluted Share;
     Second Quarter 2010 Adjusted Cash Flow of $65.7 Million, or $1.72 Per Diluted Share

See press release in PDF format.

HOUSTON, August 5, 2010 - Swift Energy Company (NYSE: SFY) announced today earnings of $12.5 million for the second quarter of 2010, or $0.32 per diluted share, which compares to a net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, incurred in the second quarter of 2009.

Adjusted cash flow (cash flow before working capital changes, a non-GAAP measure - see page 6 for reconciliation to the GAAP measure) for the second quarter 2010 increased 55% to $65.7 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, compared to $42.4 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2009.

Swift Energy produced 2.03 million barrels of oil equivalent (“MMBoe”) during the second quarter of 2010, which is a 10% decrease compared to second quarter 2009 production of 2.26 MMBoe.

“Swift Energy continued to increase its South Texas activity levels during the second quarter,” noted Terry Swift, CEO of Swift Energy.  “We’ve added a third rig capable of drilling horizontal wells and recently kicked off a vertical shallow drilling program targeting oil in the Olmos formation.  In the Eagle Ford shale, two new wells were drilled during the quarter in McMullen County and are currently producing.  We’ve now drilled and completed four operated and one non-operated Eagle Ford well with average initial production tests of 1,152 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”) or 6.9 million cubic feet of gas equivalent per day (“MMcfe/d”) with approximately 40% of initial production volumes being oil.  In the Olmos formation, two new horizontal wells were drilled and brought online during the quarter.  In total, we’ve now drilled and completed seven Olmos horizontal wells.  The average initial production test rate of these wells has been 1,248 Boe/d or 7.5 Mcfe/d consisting of approximately 35% liquids, most of which are natural gas liquids.  These tests continue to de-risk our acreage prospective for these plays in South Texas.

“With current liquid prices materially higher than gas prices, we are directing more of our activity toward higher liquid yield areas.  Gas versus oil volume equivalence is reported using a 6 to 1 ratio.  Current market pricing comparisons, however, reflect a 17 to 1 ratio.  Our higher liquid yield areas provide slightly lower equivalent production rates, compared with our dry gas activities, but better relative economic results.

“South Texas has seen a significant increase in industry activity, which has caused a shortage of critical services, particularly fracture stimulation services.  The tightening of critical services has resulted in delays to our completion schedule, as well as our joint venture partner’s schedule. We believe that this high industry demand for services in and around our acreage further validates the value that we see in the Eagle Ford and Olmos formations.  In response to this tightening of services, Swift Energy executed an exclusive 24 month contract for fracture stimulation services with a large oil field service company.  By committing to this strategic contract, we expect to complete three to four wells per month beginning in the fourth quarter and significantly reduce our per well completion costs.  This step affirms our commitment to growing production, reserves and cash flows in this core area.

“The addition of two drilling rigs and a dedicated fracture enhancement crew in South Texas will result in increased activity targeted towards growing oil and natural gas liquids production.  With these increased activity levels, we now expect our daily production rate to increase to a range of 28,000 - 30,000 Boe/d by year end.  We also expect our proven reserves to increase by 15-20% over year end 2009 levels, compared to our previous guidance of 8-12% growth.  Our increased focus on lower volume, but higher value crude oil and liquids production, in conjunction with the completion delays in the second and third quarters will result in revised full year production expectations of 8.85 – 9.15 million barrels of oil equivalent.

Revenues and Expenses

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2010 increased 29% to $106.9 million from the $82.9 million generated in the second quarter of 2009, primarily due to higher commodity prices.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense (“DD&A”) of $19.24 per barrel of oil equivalent (“Boe”) in the second quarter of 2010 increased from $17.90 per Boe of DD&A in the comparable period in 2009, due to a higher overall depletable full cost base.  Lease operating expenses, before severance and ad valorem taxes, were $9.83 per Boe in the second quarter 2010, an increase of 18% compared to $8.34 per Boe in the second quarter of 2009.  Lease operating expenses increased as a result of higher supervision and salt water disposal costs.  Severance and ad valorem taxes increased to $5.74 per Boe from $4.39 per Boe in the comparable period due to higher commodity prices.

General and administrative expenses increased to $3.96 per Boe during the second quarter of 2010 from $3.36 per Boe in the same period in 2009 due to an increase in office related costs and lower production levels.  Interest expense increased to $4.05 per Boe in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $3.46 per Boe for the same period in 2009 due to higher interest amounts and rates associated with long term debt.

Production & Pricing

Swift Energy’s second quarter 2010 production was 2.03 MMBoe (~22,300 Boe/d), a decrease of 10% when compared to 2009 second quarter production of 2.26 MMBoe.  Sequentially, production decreased 1% from the 2.04 MMBoe (~22,700 Boe/d) produced in the first quarter of 2010.  Second quarter production decreased as a result of our increased focus on lower rate, but higher value, crude oil and natural gas liquids production, delays associated with completion operations in South Texas and natural declines.

The Company realized an aggregate average price of $51.80 per Boe during the quarter, an increase of 41% from the $36.71 per Boe average price received in the second quarter of 2009.  In the second quarter of 2010, average crude oil prices increased 40% to $77.83 per barrel from $55.42 per barrel realized in the same period in 2009.  For the same periods, average natural gas prices were $3.72 per thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”), an increase of 19% from the $3.11 per Mcf average price realized a year earlier.  Prices for natural gas liquids (“NGL”) averaged $41.92 per barrel in the second quarter for a 48% increase from second quarter 2009 NGL prices of $28.26 per barrel.

Second Quarter Drilling Activity

In the second quarter of 2010, Swift Energy successfully drilled all 9 of its operated wells, and participated in 2 successful non-operated wells.  In McMullen County, in the Company’s South Texas core area, 4 operated horizontal wells were drilled to the Eagle Ford shale, 2 operated horizontal wells were drilled to the Olmos sand, and 2 non-operated horizontal wells were drilled by a joint venture partner to the Eagle Ford shale.

In Swift Energy’s Southeast Louisiana core area, 3 development wells were drilled in the Lake Washington field.

Swift Energy currently has five operated rigs and one non-operated rig drilling in its South Texas core area, one operated rig drilling in its Southeast Louisiana core area and one non-operated rig drilling in its East Texas/Central Louisiana core area.

Operations Update:

South Texas - Eagle Ford  Operations

In the second quarter of 2010, the Company drilled the Hayes 1H, San Miguel Ranch 1H, Discher 1-H and PCQ #4H to the Eagle Ford shale formation in McMullen County in the Company’s South Texas core area.  A 7 stage fracture enhancement was performed on the Hayes 1H.  This well’s initial production rate was 336 barrels of oil per day (“Bbls/d”) and 0.5 million cubic feet of gas per day (“MMcf/d”) with flowing casing pressure of 920 psi on a 22/64” choke.  The San Miguel Ranch 1H was completed with a 12 stage fracture enhancement with an initial production rate of 775 Bbls/d and 1.1 MMcf/d with flowing casing pressure of 2,940 psi on a 16/64” choke.  The Discher 1-H was completed with a 14 stage fracture stimulation and is waiting on tie-in to sales before it can begin flow back and testing.  We expect this to occur before the end of August. The PCQ #4H is currently being completed.

The Company is currently drilling two operated horizontal wells targeting the Eagle Ford shale, one in McMullen County and one in LaSalle County.

Also in McMullen County, the Company’s joint venture partner drilled the Bracken Family 2H and 3H wells.  These wells are waiting on fracture stimulation activities.  Another well, the fourth well of this joint venture, is currently drilling.  One non-operated rig is expected to be active in this area for the remainder of 2010.

South Texas - Olmos Operations

Swift Energy also drilled two horizontal wells in the Olmos formation in McMullen County during the second quarter.  The Huff 1H, was drilled and completed with an eight stage fracture enhancement.  This well was drilled in a developed portion of the AWP Olmos field to test field drainage assumptions and prove the opportunity to drill infill wells in this field in the future.  The initial production rate of the Huff 1H was 5.4 MMcf/d with flowing casing pressure of 2,700 psi on a 26/64” choke.  The AFP 2H was drilled on undeveloped acreage to the Olmos formation with 8 of 14 stages being fracture stimulated thus far.  The well flowed back with initial production of 6.4 MMcf/d and 51 Bbls/d of condensate, with flowing casing pressure of 4,450 psi on a 19/64” choke.  The 6 stages not stimulated in this well will be pumped at a later date.

Updating recent activity in this area, Swift Energy has concluded drilling operations on the AFP 3H, a horizontal well drilled to the Olmos formation in McMullen County.  One horizontal well targeting the Olmos formation is currently drilling in McMullen County.  During the third quarter an additional rig has been contracted to begin drilling vertical wells targeting oil in the Olmos formation in the northern portion of AWP.  This program is expected to be ongoing through the end of 2010.

Southeast Louisiana

In its Southeast Louisiana core area at the Lake Washington field, the Company drilled 3 wells.  The CM #411 was drilled to a measured depth of 5,481 feet and encountered 345 feet of true vertical net pay.  This well has averaged approximately 590 gross Bbls/d of oil over the past thirty days.  The SL 212 #178 was drilled to a measured depth of 7,200 feet and encountered 75 feet of true vertical net pay.  This well has averaged approximately 200 gross Bbls/d of oil over the past thirty days. The CM #412 was drilled to a measured depth of 8,178 feet and encountered 267 feet of true vertical pay.  This well was recently completed with an initial production rate of 574 gross Bbls/d.  One rig is expected to be active in the Lake Washington field for the remainder of 2010.

Also during the quarter at the Lake Washington field, seven recompletions were performed with average initial production rates of approximately 244 gross Boe/d.  Four sliding sleeve changes were also performed during the quarter.  The average production increase from these operations was 324 barrels of oil per day.  One gas lift re-design was performed, and production of that well increased from 98 barrels of oil per day to 315 barrels of oil per day. 

East Texas/Central Louisiana

In the Company’s East Texas/Central Louisiana core area, a non-operated well targeting the Austin Chalk is being drilled in the South Burr Ferry field.  A second well is expected to be spudded after operations on this well are concluded.

Price Risk Management

Swift Energy has purchased natural gas floors that will cover approximately 35% of its currently expected third quarter 2010 natural gas production at an average NYMEX strike price of $4.75 per MMBtu.  The Company has also purchased floors at a $79.50 per barrel average NYMEX strike price covering approximately 5% of its third quarter 2010 crude oil production.  On an ongoing basis, details of Swift Energy’s complete price risk management activities can be found on the Company’s website (www.swiftenergy.com).
