EV Energy Partners, L.P. Common Units

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - June 04, 2007 - Tortoise Capital Resources Corp. (NYSE:
TTO) today announced that it has invested $7.5 million in a private placement of
EV Energy Partners, L.P. (Nasdaq: EVEP) common units.

EV Energy Partners, LP is a master limited partnership engaged in acquiring,
producing and developing oil and gas properties. EV Energy Partners, L.P. has
stated that it will use the proceeds of the private placement to repay all of
its borrowings under its revolving credit facility which were used to finance a
previously completed acquisition of Monroe field properties in Louisiana. In
addition, proceeds will fund a portion of its $100 million acquisition of oil
and natural gas properties in Central and East Texas which is expected to close
within the next five weeks.

"We believe this acquisition aligns with our strategy of investing in upstream
assets with viable, long-life reserves," said Tortoise Capital Resources Corp.
President, Ed Russell. "We are excited to be part of this transaction which
reduces debt at EV Energy Partners, L.P. We believe this places them in an
excellent position for future acquisitions."

approximately $102.7 million, including equity investments in eleven portfolio
companies of approximately $93.9 million and debt investments in two portfolio
companies of approximately $8.8 million.
