Item 8.01.     Other Events.

Houston American Energy Corp. (the "Company") provides the following updated
information regarding the status of drilling on its prospects in Colombia:

In December 2006, Hupecol LLC, the operator of the Company's wells in Colombia,
drilled the Cabiona 11 well and encountered 8' of oil on water in the C5B Sand
and the well was sidetracked in an attempt to improve the well by gaining
structure. This attempt was not successful and the well has been plugged.

As of December 27, 2006 Hupecol LLC has updated its proposed drilling schedule
for 2007. The drilling schedule reflects all information available at year-end
2006, including drilling results for 2006, and is subject to change without
notice. The updated drilling schedule calls for 32 wells to be drilled in
Colombia during 2007.

In the first six months of 2007 Hupecol LLC expects to drill 10 wells in which
the Company owns a 12.5% Working Interest and 4 wells in which the Company owns
approximately a 1.6% Working Interest. The planned wells on the 12.5% contracts
are:

Dorotea B2
Leona (Jagueyes) A1
Leona (Jagueyes) B1
Gaban (Simon)  B1
Gaban (Simon) C1
Gaban (Simon) D1
Gaban ( Simon) 1
Las Garzas A1
Las Garzas B1
Las Garzas B2

The planned wells in which the Company owns the approximate 1.6% Working
Interest are:

Rancho Quemado D1, C2, C1 & C3.

In the second half of 2007 Hupecol LLC plans to drill 10 wells on the Company's
Cabiona contract, in which the Company owns a 12.5% Working Interest, and 8
wells in which the Company owns the approximate 1.6% Working Interest. The wells
planned to be drilled on the Cabiona contract are:

Cabiona 12, 5, 13, 10, 2, 3, 7, 9, 14 & 15

The 8 wells scheduled to be drilled during the second half of 2007 on prospects
in which the Company holds a 1.6% Working Interest are:

Rancho Quemado B1
Jaguar 16, 8, 17 & 14
Bengala 9
Caracara Sur B3 & B4


                                        2

The Company holds, through its interest in Hupecol Dorotea and Cabiona LLC and
Hupecol Llanos LLC, a 12.5% interest in various concessions in Colombia and
holds, through Hupecol Caracarra LLC, a 1.6% working interest in certain
concessions in Colombia. The various Hupecol entities own concessions through a
contract with the Colombian National Hydrocarbon Agency (ANH) and Hupecol LLC is
the operator of the concessions.
