EXHIBIT 99.1

Mesa Energy Holdings, Inc. Provides Test Results on LLDSB #4 Plug-Back Recompletion on its Lake Hermitage Field and Turns Well to Sales

Dallas, TX, October 17, 2011: Mesa Energy Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTC: MSEH), an oil and gas exploration and production company, has successfully re-completed and tested the LLDSB #4 well in its Lake Hermitage Field located in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana and has returned the well to production.

The LLDSB #4 was successfully re-completed in the UL-4 Sand zone in three intervals totaling 12 feet of net productive sand between 12,296 feet and 12,395 feet. In a four hour test on a 25/64ths choke, the well flowed at a rate of 137 barrels of oil and 290 thousand cubic feet of gas per day at a stabilized flowing tubing pressure of 280 lbs. Well data also indicates excellent potential up-hole at 11,630 feet in the UL-3 Sand interval.

The Company owns 100% working interest in the Lake Hermitage Field. In a third party reserve report prepared by Collarini Associates with an effective date of April 1, 2011 (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to our Form 8-K on July 28, 2011), the UL-4 Sand in the LLDSB #4 is projected to recover 119,000 barrels of oil and 587 million cubic feet of gas net to the Company’s interest with a PV-10 value of $7,630,000.

“This is the first of what we expect to be multiple recompletions and field enhancements in our five south Louisiana fields and we are very pleased with the results,” said Randy M. Griffin, CEO of Mesa Energy Holdings, Inc. “The evaluation of a number of additional recompletion opportunities is ongoing as well as the development of new oil drilling prospects and the evaluation of deep gas potential on a portion of our acreage.
