EXHIBIT 99.1

NGP Capital Resources Company Announces $34.4 Million of New Investments

Houston, Texas , Sept. 1, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NGP Capital Resources Company (NASDAQ: NGPC) (the "Company") today announced that it has committed and funded $27.5 million toward a $55.0 million Senior Secured First Lien Term Loan (the "Term Loan") to a private company operating onshore in the Gulf Coast and in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico (the "Issuer"). Chambers Energy Capital LP, a Houston-based private investment firm, funded the remaining $27.5 million of the facility. Proceeds of the Term Loan will be used by the Issuer to acquire certain oil and gas properties in various stages of production and development. The Term Loan is secured by all of the Issuer’s assets and matures on December 31, 2014.

Additionally, during August 2011, the Company purchased an additional $8.0 million face amount of GMX Resources, Inc. 5.00% Senior Convertible Notes due February 1, 2013 (the "GMXR Notes"), for an aggregate cost of $6.9 million. Estimated yield-to-maturity on the newly purchased GMXR Notes is approximately 16.3%. Our total position in GMXR Notes is now $12.7 million with an aggregate cost of $10.6 million.

Also in August 2011, Tammany Oil & Gas, LLC ("Tammany") repaid $6.0 million of its Senior Secured Multiple-Advance Term Loan, leaving a balance outstanding of $14.6 million. Tammany also repurchased from the Company its 5% after-payout overriding royalty interest and half of the Company’s warrant position for $2.0 million. The Company retains its 3% overriding royalty interest and warrants for 10% of Tammany’s equity. As a result of this transaction, the Company realized a capital gain of approximately $2.0 million, which will be recognized in the third quarter of 2011.

Thus far in 2011, the Company has funded investments totaling $90 million.
