Irvine, Calif.,  May 21, 2009

New Western Energy Corp., an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, development, production, and exploration of oil, gas and minerals in North America, today announced a joint venture agreement with RC Oil Company, Inc. to acquire a 75 percent net working interest (NRI) 14 wells in Rogers County, Okla., in an area that spans 120-acres.

“New Western is aggressively seeking new opportunities to acquire or joint venture to acquire properties that have shown favorable characteristics for the discovery of oil, natural gas and other minerals,” said Javan Khazali, President of New Western Energy Corp. “The Glass Lease is a low-risk property located in an area known for production.”

Under the terms of the joint venture, New Western agreed to provide funding to RC Oil for operations in return for 75 percent of the NRI owned by RC Oil in the Glass leaseholds. New Western also received a right of first refusal to purchase an additional 75 percent NRI in all future wells developed by RC Oil, which RC Oil presently owns.

Opportunities for casing-head gasoline from the gas that is given off from the oil exist, as well. This is potentially an additional source of revenue, as formerly this gas was allowed to escape through the atmosphere.

Further development and production of the lease will consist of a combination of primary and secondary recovery. Secondary recovery efforts will include water flood and the use of an NCO2 machine to re-pressure existing formations, and increase production.
