Miller Energy Resources Closes Deal For 35,325 Shale Acres and 173 Wells
HUNTSVILLE, TN- June 12, 2009- Miller Petroleum, Inc., dba Miller Energy
Resources, (MILL.OB) announced today that it has completed the acquisition of
certain assets from privately owned Ky-Tenn Oil, Inc., (KTO) which includes
approximately 35,325 leased acres located on the Chattanooga Shale and 173
natural gas and oil producing wells.
Miller CEO Scott M. Boruff commented that, “This is the first of many
acquisitions that we anticipate closing this year. This asset acquisition more
than doubles our oil production and more than triples our natural gas production
and our Chattanooga Shale lease acreage holdings. It is another example of the
successful execution of our ambitious business plan going forward.” Earlier this
year, Miller Energy Resources announced a $20 million acquisition, re-completion,
drilling and development program.
Boruff added, “This gives Miller a large lease position in the middle of
Tennessee’s prolific Chattanooga Shale play for future drilling development.
Initial analysis has indicated that the acreage could yield over 700 new well
locations. Another key to this acquisition is the fact that in addition to the
173 wells that we will be operating on the KTO leases, there are over 100
additional wells that can be reworked and put back into production.”
