ANNUAL
WELL REPORT UPDATE- Tennessee operators recently received a letter
from Mike Burton, Assistant Oil & Gas Supervisor, that annual well reports
were due June 1, 2006. The annual reports replace the monthly production
reports, as per a change in the Oil & Gas Regulations, that went into
effect October 2005. TOGA appealed to Burton to extend the deadline, due to
both the confusion on when the new regulation went into effect and the need for
a report form. Burton agreed and is currently developing the new reporting
form.
MILLER
KICKS OFF DRILLING IN KOPPERS SOUTH- Miller Petroleum (OTC;MILL) has
begum it’s drilling on its Koppers South lease in Campbell County, Tennessee. This 22,000 acre-prospect in included in a recently-formed joint venture with
Wind Mill Oil & Gas LLC, in which Miller has a 49% interest and Wind City has a 51% interest. Koppers South is a high graded prospect that is expected to
produce hydrocarbons from the Mississippian Age “Big Lime” and Devonian Age
“Chattanooga Shale”.
YOUNG
HITS BIG KNOX COUNTY GAS WELL-The Young Oil Corporation announced
that it has drilled in a natural gas well in Knox County, Kentucky, with an
initial open flow rate of 10 million cubic feet of gas a day. The KL-5 well,
located about four miles northeast of Corbin in Knox County in mid central Kentucky, came in flowing natural gas when drilling topped the Big Lime formation at a
depth of 1235 feet. “We expect to complete this new well and have it in production
in June. “We believe the well will settle to about 750,000 cubic feet of gas
per day,” said Anthony Young, Young Oil CEO. The well was drilled by DrillPro.
Young Oil Corporation owns 100% of the working interest in the well.
GAS
GATHERING OPERATING IN FENTRESS-OVERTON COUNTIES-The TOGA office
received this good news via email on May 16th: We are partners in a
gas gathering system that totals approximately 53 miles of line that extends
from just north of Monterey, Tennessee, on Highway 164 through portions of
Fentress and Overton Counties. I am looking to advertise to the Oil & Gas Industry
in general area (Tennessee & Kentucky) the fact that we are operational and
capable of moving product to point of sale. The point being that there may be
someone who was contemplating drilling in the area that does not realize that
not only can oil generate revenue, however, gas can now be sold as well. Your
assistance in getting me information on companies that put together drilling
ventures or operations in the area would be greatly appreciated. Please feel
free to contact me at any of the following numbers. Barry Sanditen, Sanditen

REPORTS 116% INCREASE IN PRODUCTION REVENUE-NGAS Resources, Inc.
(Nasdaq:NGAS) has reported oil and gas revenue rose 116% for the first quarter
of 2006 over first quarter 2005, due to production volume increases and higher
realized commodity prices. Total revenue was a record $27.3 million, a 27%
increase over the comparable period in 2005. The growth in total revenue was
driven by higher oil and gas revenue as well as a 22% increase in contract
drilling.

ACTIVITY UP IN 2005 AND 2006-Ronald P. Zurawski, State Geologist and
Director, Tennessee Division of Geology, reported during the TOGA convention

There were permits issued in 11 counties, up from nine in 2004. A total of 254
permits were issued, compared with 223 in 2004. During 2006, permitting
activity is expected to increase again if May activity is any indication. In

activity in June may be as just as strong.
