New Frontier Energy, Inc. (NFEI) Provides Project Development Update
New Frontier Energy, Inc. (OTC BB: NFEI) today
announced that gross production has increased from six coalbed methane
wells currently producing in the Slater Dome project. Production had been
restricted prior to adding new compression capacity last month, which can
now handle up to 1 million cubic feet per day. Additional compression will
be added as necessary.
New Frontier also announced that it has recently completed a three well
drilling program at the Slater Dome Project. The wells were drilled to a
depth of approximately 2000 feet and will initially be completed in the
Lower Isles coals. Additional behind pipe potential is present in the
shallower Upper Isles coals and the Williams Fork coals, both of which are
prospective in this area. Once completed, these wells will be tied into the
existing gas gathering system and placed on pump to begin the dewatering
process.
Paul G. Laird, New Frontier's and CEO, commented, "With the addition of
increased field compression we are now able to accommodate what we
anticipate will be increasing gas volumes from our wells as the dewatering
process continues. As is common with many coalbed methane fields, a period
of dewatering the coalbeds is generally required, and is associated with
steadily increasing gas production. While encouraged by the present levels
of methane gas production, additional production history will be required
before the full commercial and reserve potential of these wells is known."
Mr. Laird continued, "All of our gas is being transported by the 18 mile
line constructed by Slater Dome Gathering, LLLP, which connects the Slater
Dome project area to the Questar gas transportation hub south of Baggs,
Wyoming. New Frontier, with partial proceeds from the recently completed
$2.7 million financing, has increased its interest in the Slater Dome
Gathering, LLLP to a majority interest. This line, in addition to
transporting our own gas, is a significant asset on its own and will allow
us to provide third-party gas transportation services for other development
that may occur in the area."
The Slater Dome Prospect consists of approximately 31,631 gross acres of
oil and gas leases operated by an independent third party. New Frontier
owns a 30% working interest in the prospect. New Frontier and its partners
are initially concentrating the drilling and development efforts on the
lower Isles coal seams. The project area is also prospective in the Upper
Isles coals, the Williams Fork coals as well as the Mesaverde sandstone
formations and the deeper Niobrara shale.
