MGLG Magellan Energy Ltd New (CE)

Magellan Energy Ltd. (PINKSHEETS: MGLG), an independent oil and gas company, wishes to address both public, and shareholders' inquiries, regarding our wells being "shut in" due to high levels of BTUs (British thermal unit).

Gas coming off of an oil well usually has a high BTU count which by Federal Regulatory standards is considered too dangerous to put into lines going directly into residential and commercial use. The gas needs to be "stripped" cooled or compressed. The gas coming off the Burville area (which we are in) is unusually high, and needs to be compressed to 350pnds.

Over the past 20 plus years, the only market for locally produced natural gas in the Fentress, Scott and Morgan County area has been Citizens Gas Utility District.

Now the federal government, through the agency FERC, has decided that any gas with a BTU higher than 1100 is unsafe and should not be transported in interstate pipelines or sold to customers. Many producers have had their wells shut in by Citizens over the past six months for high BTUs.

Producers like ourselves, including the ones we are working with, are in the process of building or acquiring a pipeline that will take the gas directly to market. In the process, they will have to be able to strip the gas to meet the new BTU requirements. The Robert Anderson, the Thomas Martin, and the Thomas Davidson Wells are currently "shut in." We have been working closely with the operators, and Citizen's Gas Utility District, and fully expect that this situation will be resolved as soon as possible, so that Magellan can "sell off" the gas that has been capped, due to this "shut in."

Until then, the Thomas D. Martin Well in Morgan County, Tennessee continues to produce oil at a rate of 3BOD. The oil from this lease is being sold to "Barrett Oil Purchasing," a trucking company that hauls the oil to "Ashland Oil Refinery," operated by "Marathon" on the Kentucky-West Virginia border.
