Next Generation Energy Corp (OTCQB : NGMC) today announced it has entered into an agreement to purchase 7,715 acres of natural gas and oil rights in the prolific Devonian Shale region of South Eastern Kentucky.
The property consists of 39 tracks located in the Knox Countyarea of southeast Kentucky known for large reserves of natural gas and oil. The appraised value of these commodities on this property is estimated at $55 million or more. Darryl Reed, NGMC CEO, stated that "this acquisition is a home run for NGMC as the property can support up to 80 wells and can generate $55 million in natural gas and oil revenues at today's energy prices. Any increase in energy prices will be pure upside for the Company."
Next Generation Energy Corp. has been focused on this geographic area because Kentucky offers many advantages for development. The area has significant recoverable natural gas and oil reserves in place and has been generally ignored by larger energy companies due to the small output from individual wells, typically between 20 and 80 barrels per day of oil and 10 - 200 million cubic feet of natural gas, as compared to larger well production in Alaska, West Texas, Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico.
