New Frontier Energy, Inc. Announces Completing the Acquisition of the Operators 36.7% Working Interest in the Slater Dome Field

New Frontier Energy, Inc., a natural resource exploration and production company, engaged in the exploration, acquisition and development of oil and gas properties in the United States, today announced that it has completed the purchase of the operator’s 36.7% working interest in the Slater Dome Field for $8,000,000. The purchase increases NFEI’s interest in eleven gas wells together with their proportionate share of 32,000 acres in the Field located in Northwest Colorado and South central Wyoming. In the transaction, NFEI acquired estimated proved reserves of 8,214,000 MCF of natural gas, according to an independent reservoir engineering firm. NFEI now owns a 66.7% working interest in the field. Six wells are producing from the Mesa Verde coal sections, three are shut-in awaiting further development work to enhance the dewatering process, one is awaiting completion work and one is shut-in awaiting connection to the gathering line.

Paul G. Laird, New Frontier’s President and CEO, commented, “It’s great to have closed this transaction. We drilled the initial discovery well in 1998 and are looking forward to operating the field and thereby, controlling costs and bringing the field to profitability more quickly. We plan on drilling several wells to further develop the field in 2007.”
