ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On January 5, 2011, Blast Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”, “Blast”, “we” or “us”) and Berg McAfee Companies, LLC, a significant shareholder of the Company (”BMC”), agreed to (a) enter into Amendment No. 1 to the February 27, 2008 Promissory Note, pursuant to which the Company owes BMC, $1,120,000 (the “Amended Note”); and (b) to amend the terms of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) to provide for a reduction in the conversion price of such Preferred Stock from $0.50 per share to $0.20 per share (the “Amendment”).

The Amended Note revised and amended the terms of the original note, entered into between the Company and BMC on February 27, 2008, to extend the maturity date of such note from February 27, 2011, to February 27, 2013; to increase the amount of notice the Company is required to provide BMC in the event the Company desires to prepay the note from five (5) days to thirty (30) days); to subordinate the security for such note to the Company’s obligations due to and in connection with the drilling and completion of the Guijarral Hills development project and the payoff of the Company’s $300,000 promissory note due to Sun Resources Texas, Inc.; and to provide BMC the right to convert the amount outstanding under the note into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of $0.08 per share.

ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

The Company entered into the Amended Note on January 5, 2011, which contains a conversion right, allowing BMC to convert the outstanding amount of the Amended Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of $0.08 per share. The Company claims an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) for the entry into the Amended Note, since the transactions involving the Amended Note did not involve a public offering and the recipient was an “accredited investor”.

ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.

The Amendment was approved by Eric McAfee on behalf of McAfee Capital and Clyde Berg, the majority shareholders of the Preferred Stock on January 5, 2011, and by the Board of Directors of the Company on January 10, 2011.  The Amendment which was affected pursuant to an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Designation”) was filed with the Secretary of State of Texas on January 13, 2011, did not affect any changes to the terms or conditions of the Preferred Stock, other than to reduce the conversion price of such Preferred Stock from $0.50 per share to $0.20 per share, and to make other minor corresponding and related changes to the terms of such Designation.
