Storm Cat Energy Corporation Announces 2007 Proved Reserve Estimates

- Proved reserves increase 78% over 2006





DENVER and CALGARY, Alberta, March 3  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Storm Cat Energy Corporation (Amex: SCU; TSX: SME) today announced 2007 proved reserve estimates and year-end production results.

2007 Year-end Reserve Estimates

At year-end 2007 Storm Cat had proved reserves of 44.5 billion cubic feet (Bcf), 78% higher than year-end 2006 reserves of 25.0 Bcf.  Approximately 61% of the proved reserves, or 27.3 Bcf, were classified as proved developed, an increase of 104% over proved developed reserves at year-end 2006.  Storm Cat's reserves are primarily located in Wyoming's Powder River Basin (PRB), and secondarily in Arkansas' Arkoma basin (Fayetteville Shale).   The Company achieved a full year reserve replacement rate of 718%.

Storm Cat's estimated, pre-tax future net cashflow discounted at 10% (commonly known as the SEC PV-10 value) for proved reserves at year-end was $98.4 million. The 2007 PV-10 calculation employed a year-end Colorado Interstate Gas (CIG) commodity price of $6.04 per million British thermal units (MMbtu) and $6.215 per MMbtu for the Fayetteville Shale reserves. The PV-10 value does not include the effect of Storm Cat's financial hedges.  All reserve estimates were prepared by the Company's independent reservoir engineering firm, Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (NSAI).

In addition to the SEC proved reserve report, NSAI also estimated year end proved, possible and probable reserves using year-end 2007 strip pricing. Proved reserves were 45.6 Bcf, probable reserves were 10.9 Bcf and possible reserves were 25.2 Bcf.  The PV-10 value using year-end strip pricing was $136.5 million for proved reserves and $204.8 for all categories.

The following tables summarize our year-end SEC proved reserves and PV-10 Values:

  2007 Year-end Production Rate


Year-end 2007 PRB production was 21.5 million cubic feet of natural gas per day (MMcf/d) gross and 11.9 MMcf/d net. We were also producing an additional 0.3 MMcf/d net from our non-operated Fayetteville Shale position. Storm Cat produced 3.154 Bcf of natural gas during 2007.  Average daily production during 2007 was 8.6 MMcf/d net compared to 4.4 MMcf/d net in 2006, a 96% increase.

Joe Brooker, Storm Cat Energy Chief Executive Officer commented, "We are extremely pleased with the growth in reserves and rate we were able to achieve in 2007.  We substantially increased our proved reserves, almost doubled our net production and have set a course for 2008.  We expect continued growth in 2008 as we begin to unlock the value in our Fayetteville Shale position and continue development in our Powder River Basin assets."
