Business Wire
1st NRG Corporation (OTC Markets: FNRC) (http://1stnrg-corp.com)
has entered into an agreement with a private third party where 1st
NRG will be issued an Oil & Gas lease and the associated
surface use agreement on approximately 1,370 acres in Southwest
Nebraska.
Letter Agreement
1st NRG is pleased to announce the Company has entered into an
agreement which will deliver an Oil and Gas Lease and the
associated surface use agreement for 1,370 acres located in Banner
County Nebraska to the Company. The Niobrara Shale is an exciting
oil shale play that is being compared to the Bakken Shale in North
Dakota. Located in the Denver Julesburg Basin which extends from
Southeast Wyoming and Southwest Nebraska into Northeast Colorado
the acreage will provide the company with possible development in
the Niobrara Shale, as well as the Codell, Greenhorn, D and J
Sands. Industry estimates of the possible Niobrara Original Oil in
Place (OOIP) are 30 million BOE per section, however recoverable
oil and natural gas will vary by area, thickness, porosity and
fractionation.
Management Comments
Mr. Kevin Norris, CEO, said, “Adding to our current holdings in
Wyoming, the Nebraska acreage when combined with our recent
agreement to explore in Ohio, will give the Company opportunity to
develop oil and natural gas reserves in three separate basins.”
Furthermore Mr. Norris stated, “We are seeking industry partners,
especially in Ohio, as we move forward toward development of these
properties.”
About 1st NRG
1st NRG Corp. (OTCBB: FNRC.PK) is an exploration and production
company headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The Company has been
pursuing prospective investments in coal bed methane (CBM) fields
in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. We own working interests
in producing and prospective CBM wells in the Clabaugh Ranch Field,
a development of 6,025 gross acres in the Powder River Basin
in northeast Wyoming. The Powder River Basin is a major source of
coal bed methane - clean natural gas. The Company will now be
expanding to Eastern Ohio and the prospects of developing oil,
natural gas and natural gas liquids from the Utica Shale formation
and the Southwest Nebraska where new technologies in hydraulic
fracturing and horizontal drilling have unlocked the potential of
commercial oil and natural gas production from oil bearing
shale.
