New Frontier Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: NFEI), a natural resource company
engaged in the exploration, acquisition and development of oil and
gas properties in the United States, today announced that it has
finished preliminary testing of the Federal 12-1 well at the Focus
Ranch Unit.
"We are pleased with the initial results for the Federal 12-1
well, and we are proceeding with requesting assignments of
underlying leases in the Unit approximating 36,900 gross acres.
Upon completion of the assignments, New Frontier Energy's total
acreage in and adjacent to the Slater Dome Field will increase to
approximately 84,700 acres," said Paul G. Laird, President and CEO
of New Frontier Energy.
The testing of the well, drilled into Niobrara/Frontier
formations, resulted in natural gas and condensate flowing to the
surface. The Company's preliminary flow rates from testing the
Frontier formation approximated 1.2 million cubic feet of gas and
100 barrels of condensate per day. Uphole testing of the Niobrara
formation yielded flow rate potentials of 1.3 million cubic feet of
gas. Paul G. Laird, President and CEO of NFEI, said, "We anticipate
the Federal 12-1 well will produce approximately 2.3 million cubic
feet and 100 barrels of condensate per day, and could add between
14 and 25 billion cubic feet of gas reserves to our reserve base,
depending upon the completion procedures utilized."
