CERTIFICATION
OF PRESIDENT





I, John
P. Messina, certify that:





1           I have reviewed this quarterly report
on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010 of Hyperion Energy,
Inc. (the “Company”);





2.           Based on my knowledge, this quarterly
report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect
to the period covered by this quarterly report;





3.           Based
on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as
of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;





4.           The registrant’s other certifying
officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e))  for the registrant and we have:





(a)           Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and
procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;





(b)           Designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control
over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.





(c)           Evaluated the effectiveness of the
registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our
conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,
as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;
and




(d)           Disclosed in this report any change in
the registrant's internal control over financing reporting that occurred during
the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal
quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over
financial reporting; and





5.           The registrant's other certifying
officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal
control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the
equivalent functions):


(a)           All significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over
financial reporting which are reasonable likely to adversely affect the
registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
information; and


(b)           Any fraud, whether or not material,
that involved management or other employees who have a significant role in the
registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
