CNX TENNESSEE HORIZONTALSHALE WELL IPS 3.9 MMCFPD - CNX Gas Corp has reported that its new Tennessee horizontal Chattanooga Shale well has achieved an open flow of MMcf per day. Commenting on fourth quarter and full year 2007 results, CNX President and CEO, Nicholas Deluliis said in a January 29, 2008 news release, "CNX Gas is effectively transitioning from a gas manufacturing coal bed methane company to a full-fledged exploration and production company. We saw the first fruits of this in December with our second horizontal shale well, and our first in the Chattanooga Shale in Tennessee, which achieved an open flow of 3.9 MMcf per day. This well came on the heels of a horizontal Mountaineer CBM well completed in December that has produced nearly 900 Mcf per day. Contributed acreage and invested working interests in the Bakken Shale and Trenton Black River plays with large and well-established operator partners. In order to maximize shareholder value, we need to continue to accelerate the assessment and exploration of our huge CBM, shale, and conventional acreage positions."

$100 CRUDE OIL - Crude oil prices reached $100 on January 2, 2008 for the first time as concern mounted over whether demand for oil had overtaken supply. The price of oil surged 57% last year as Middle East tensions and the rapid industrialization of India and China spurred investors. Analysts don't expect record-high crude oil prices by themselves to send the economy into recession.
