DENVER, Dec. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- 1st NRG Corp. (OTC Markets: FNRC.PK, http://1stnrg-corp.com ) re-releases an update on the company's operations.
Bakken/Three Forks
The Company's plans include participation in a prospect which will test the Bakken Shale and Three Forks formations encompassing approximately 9,800 acres and the initial test well is scheduled to start drilling prior to the end of 2012.
Utica Shale - Eastern Ohio
The Company finalized an agreement to develop approximately 7,150 acres in Eastern Ohio, one of the most active areas for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids exploration in the United States.
Niobrara Shale - Western Nebraska
The Company also finalized an agreement which will deliver an Oil and Gas Lease and surface use agreement for 1,370 acres located in Banner County Nebraska.
CBM - Northern Wyoming
Our current CBM properties are characterized by what we believe to be low geologic risk and repeatable development opportunity. Clabaugh Ranch is about 18 miles northwest of Gillette Wyoming and all of the wells drilled there have encountered developed coal seams in the Warner, Upper and Lower Smith, Wyodak/Anderson Lower, Gates and Wall formations.
The Clabaugh Ranch field has had 42 wells drilled through September 30, 2012 with a success rate of 100%. Our drilling inventory consists of 8 permitted well locations (6 net), all of which are CBM resource opportunities. Further development of Clabaugh Ranch is being evaluated.
Financing
In late October, the Company executed a credit facility which could make up to $7,000,000 available to the Company. The facility will allow the Company to draw in one or multiple tranches as agreed to between the lender and the Company. The Note will mature in three years from the date of the first draw and will bear interest at 8% on drawn funds. Any outstanding amounts due under the Note may be converted at maturity into the Company's common stock at the average of the lowest bid for the ten days prior to conversion.
