Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously reported, on October 1, 2009, Edge Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et. seq., as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Corpus Christi Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

On November 24, 2009, the Debtors filed their monthly operating report for the month ended October 31, 2009 (the “Monthly Operating Report”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Monthly Operating Report was prepared solely for the purpose of complying with monthly reporting requirements, and in a format prescribed, under the Bankruptcy Code and should not be used for investment purposes. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope and covers a limited time period and may not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or results of operations for any period that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or its periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The financial information that the Monthly Operating Report contains is preliminary and unaudited and is subject to revision. The financial statements in the Monthly Operating Report are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and, therefore, may exclude items required by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications, eliminations, accruals, valuations and disclosures. There can be no assurance that the information in the Monthly Operating Report is complete, and the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on the Monthly Operating Report. The information in the Monthly Operating Report is not, and should not be viewed as, indicative of future results.

Additional information regarding the Chapter 11 Cases is available on the internet at www.edgepet.com. Court filings and claims information are available at www.kccllc.net/edgepetroleum. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, such web sites is not part of this report.
