ITEM 1.01.
 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On April 26, 2010, Blast Energy Services, Inc. (“Blast”) entered into a letter of intent with Sun Resources Texas, Inc., a privately-held company based in Longview, Texas (“Sun”), to acquire Sun’s oil and gas interests in the Sugar Valley Field located in Matagorda County, Texas (the “Field”).

Under the terms proposed in the letter of intent, Blast will pay $1.2 million in cash and stock (as described below) for Sun’s approximately 66% working interest in three wells on the Field currently producing a total of approximately 40 gross barrels per day from the Gravier Sand formation, with an estimate of more than 30,000 barrels of net in recoverable reserves to Blast, and approximately a 75% working interest in non-producing recoverable reserves estimated on the Field, at over 78,000 barrels net to Blast.

This transaction also contemplates the drilling of a development well to access the non-producing reserves commencing in November 2010.  The gross drilling and completion cost of this well is expected to be approximately $900,000.  In addition, Blast contemplates drilling a water disposal well on the Field with a gross cost of $200,000 to reduce the operating costs of the producing wells.

Terms of the transaction as provided in the letter of intent include the issuance of a note payable to Sun in the amount of $400,000 which will be payable in cash on or before October 8, 2010 and the issuance of restricted common shares of Blast with an equivalent value of $800,000 at the closing of the transaction.

Additionally, since Sun is the operator of the wells, Blast expects to retain key employees of Sun through service agreements following the closing.

Following due diligence and the negotiation of a definitive agreement, the transaction is expected to close in September 2010, funding permitting, and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of both companies and Sun’s shareholders.  Blast intends to pay Sun in connection with the transaction with funds received from the $2 million payable to Blast in September 2010 from Quicksilver Resources, Inc. (“Quicksilver”), in connection with the Compromise Settlement and Release Agreement entered into with Quicksilver in September 2008.
