ITEM 8.01 Other Events

Energen Resources Corporation, the oil and gas exploration and production subsidiary of Energen Corporation, has filed requests with the Alabama Oil and Gas Board to approve exceptional 320-acre wildcat drilling units for three proposed wells, one in Greene County and two in Bibb County. The requests are associated with Energen Resources’ previously announced plans to pursue, in conjunction with Chesapeake Energy Corporation, a 5- to 10-well test program on the companies’ joint acreage position in Alabama shales. The requests are included on the Alabama Oil and Gas Board’s December 12, 2007, meeting agenda.

The Company is filing this Form 8-K to acknowledge that the test program permitting process has begun. The Company considers the shale test program to be part of its normal course of business and, as such, does not intend to make routine disclosures regarding future permit requests and other related filings with the Alabama Oil and Gas Board.

The information provided in this Form 8-K is furnished to, but not filed with, the Commission.
