Kentucky USA Energy, Inc. and Atmos Energy Corp. have entered into a contract for Atmos to purchase the company’s production of gas from its wells drilling into the New Albany Shale formation on its properties in western Kentucky. Both companies will work together to lay pipe and connect into the Atmos pipeline in the coming months. The company’s initial five wells are in the completion and testing stages, while drilling continues on the J & J Johnston #1 well. Kentucky USA expects to begin delivering gas from its wells into the Atmos pipeline by the end of this year.
