Lindsay #21 Well Hits Pay Dirt HUNTSVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 14
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Miller Petroleum, Inc. (Pink Sheets:
MILL) announced today that the latest well in its Lindsay field has
initially tested as potentially one of the best natural gas
vertical wells that Miller has ever drilled. Targeted with the
Chattanooga Shale in mind, the well also shows pay zones in various
other formations including the Monteagle and Fort Payne. Stabilized
production from this well is anticipated to be between 250 and 350
Mcf per day. The Devonian Chattanooga Shale is an organic,
hydrocarbon rich shale prevalent throughout Eastern Tennessee. This
productive formation is located beneath the Mississippian Fort
Payne Limestone at a depth of between 3,000 and 4,000 feet. The
shale thickness ranges from 80 to over 200 feet and is believed to
be the source rock for the hydrocarbons produced from many of the
conventional reservoirs in Tennessee. The Chattanooga Shale is the
stratagraphic equivalent of the Lower Huron found in Eastern
Kentucky and West Virginia. Miller CEO Scott M. Boruff commented
that, "Once again our Lindsay Field has proven to be a great
producer. I look forward to getting results from two additional
wells that we have recently drilled on the property. The Devonian
Chattanooga Shale continues to hold tremendous promise which bolds
well for exploration and production on other recently acquired
leases by Miller Petroleum in the area." About Miller Petroleum

actively engaged in the exploration, development, production and
acquisition of crude oil and natural gas primarily in eastern
