Capital City Energy Group Acquires Interest in Prolific Fayetteville Shale.


Production Growing Rapidly in Unconventional Shale Play to Gain National Attention

COLUMBUS, Ohio Columbus is the capital and the largest city of the American state of Ohio. Named for explorer Christopher Columbus, the city was founded in 1812 at the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy rivers, and assumed the functions of state capital in 1816.  -- Capital City Energy Group, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB

See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
: CETG CETG Civil Effects Test Group ) announced today that it has acquired an interest in the prolific Fayetteville Shale located in Van Buren and Cleburne Counties Cleburne County is the name of several counties in the United States:
  • Cleburne County, Alabama
  • Cleburne County, Arkansas
 in Arkansas. The Company is participating in drilling activity on more than 30,000 acres in these counties. To date, Capital City has participated in drilling 29 producing wells on the properties. Drilling activity is increasing at the rate of 8 to 10 new producing wells per month. The producing wells average over 1 million cubic feet per day of natural gas production.

"We are excited to have gained exposure to this high potential play," said Capital City Chief Executive Officer Timothy W. Crawford. "The Fayetteville Shale has quickly developed into a large unconventional gas resource and has attracted national attention due to the success in the area of such prominent energy firms as Chesapeake Energy Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) is a producer of natural gas in the United States and according to their 3Q 2007 report, is the largest independent producer, third overall (including majors) and the most active driller of new wells in the US.  and Southwestern Energy Company. With production increasing rapidly, we believe that the play could be a promising source of revenue."

Located in northern Arkansas, the Fayetteville Shale is an unconventional natural gas resource which has similar characteristics to the Texas Barnett Shale The Barnett Shale is a geological formation of economic significance. It consists of sedimentary rocks of Mississippian age in the U.S. State of Texas. The formation is estimated to stretch from the city of Dallas to west of the city of Fort Worth and south, covering 5,000 square  formation. The thickness of the producing shale zones range from approximately 50 feet to more than 600 feet, and natural gas in place is estimated between 58 and 65 billion cubic feet per square mile.
