HOUSTON, Nov. 16, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lucas Energy, Inc. (NYSE Amex:LEI), an independent oil and gas company (the “Company”) based in Houston, Texas reports the financial results from operations for second quarter of fiscal year 2009-2010.

For the second quarter fiscal year 2009-2010, the Company reports:

Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $414,218 as compared to $441,464 in the first fiscal quarter of year 2009-2010. Lower oil revenues in the current quarter were due primarily to lower oil sales (-20%) partially offset with higher prices realized from oil sales (+19%) in the second fiscal quarter. The reduction in oil sales was due to wells that were offline for workovers and chemical treatments in preparation for production increases as crude oil prices remain high EBITDA from oil and gas operations was $6,359 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to negative EBITDA totaling $(248,605) ...

Whoever would have thought that some people once called economics the most dismal of sciences? Certainly, as the current crisis goes on and on, those of us who consider ourselves to be economists scarcely are able to find the time to squeeze in a dull moment, even here and there. But even at a broader level, interest in that most dismal of dismal topics - the theory and practice of central banking - seems now to fire up levels of enthusiasm here in Spain that make even the appetising prospect of a forthcoming Real Madrid-Barça football match pale in intensity. Even if it is the case, I have to admit, that the everyday Johnny (or Jill) come lately sitting in the bar still - truth be told - prefers the sports columns of the daily newspapers, or the lacivious details of the latest romantic adventure of one of the rich ...
