DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - June 24, 2008) - New Frontier Energy, Inc. (OTCBB : NFEI ), a
natural resource company engaged in the exploration, acquisition and
development of oil and gas properties in the United States, announced today
that gross production at the Slater Dome CBM Field increased 61% to 43.4
million cubic feet for May of 2008, compared to 26.9 million cubic feet
produced in the May 2007 period.
New Frontier Energy holds a 66% working interest in the Slater Dome CBM
Field.
Revenue based on NFEI's working interest for the month of May 2008 was
$108,185, representing a 97% increase compared with $55,016 received during
the same period in 2007. The Company received an average price of $8.76 per
MCF during May 2008, compared to $7.18 per MCF received during the May 2007
period, a 22% increase.
Gross production for May of 2008 increased 17% compared to April 2008,
which totaled 37 Million cubic feet. NFEI's monthly revenue for May 2008
increased by $26,692 compared to April 2008, representing a 33% sequential
increase. The Company received an average price of $7.73 per MCF during
April 2008.
"We achieved record levels of production and cash flow during May," said
Paul Laird, President of New Frontier Energy, Inc. "The ongoing dewatering
of the Slater Dome CBM Field is improving our average production per well.
This synergy is quite common in CBM production, and will accelerate our
ability to attain positive cash flow."
The production profile of a typical CBM well will normally rise during the
initial four to seven years before leveling off, and producing on a slow
decline curve for a 20 - 25 year period.
