GEO PETROLEUM, INC. (SYMBOL: GOPL) REPORTS RAPID EXPANSION OF 
DISPOSAL SERVICES

     Rolling Hills Estates, July 16, 1997: Geo Petroleum, Inc. 
(Symbol: GOPL), an independent oil and gas development and 
exploration company based in Rolling Hills Estates, 
California, announced today that it expects its waste disposal 
and environmental services business (Geo Disposal Services) to 
expand rapidly to approximately $80,000 per month in revenues 
by September 1997.  This growth is a result of obtaining new 
service contracts from several large oil companies and a gas 
utility.  Geo will use its high-capacity injection wells to 
dispose of oil tank bottoms and wastewater generated by its 
customers' oil and gas field operations.

     The largest new contracts are with Chevron Corporation 
(Symbol: CHV) subsidiaries Chevron USA Production Company and 
Chevron USA Land and Development Company; Pacific Enterprises 
(Symbol: PET) subsidiary Southern California Gas Company; and 
Advanced Environmental, Inc.  Geo also has new contracts with 
several large independent oil and gas producers.  Before 
entering into contracts with Geo, each large company and 
agency conducts intensive environmental audits of Geo's 
facilities and employees' training.  Geo has passed each of 
the audits.  Three new audits are now being conducted, 
including one by the largest oil company in the United States.

     Geo has also recently received government agency approval 
of its facilities and methods of disposal.  The California 
Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR), the 
California Department of Fish and Game - OSPR, and the City of 
Huntington Beach are now disposing of wastes at Geo's Oxnard 
site.
