DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - January 14, 2008) - Rancher Energy Corp. (
In the article, entitled "Prices Trigger Enhanced Recovery - Management of Partially Depleted Fields Offers Opportunities for Profit," Works discusses enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects and specifically addresses Rancher Energy's plans to implement waterflood and CO2 recovery programs at its three fields in Wyoming's Powder River Basin.
"The high price of oil has created excellent opportunities for companies like Rancher Energy that have good access to long-term CO2 supplies that are in close proximity to large, mature oil fields," said Works. "We are pleased that Hart E&P Magazine recognized the important work we are doing in EOR and invited us to lay out our development strategy for what we believe is a very promising project. E&P Magazine is a prominent publication with wide distribution in the oil & gas industry, and we welcome this kind of broad exposure for Rancher Energy and its programs."

About Rancher Energy Corp.
Rancher Energy is an innovative oil & gas exploration & development company with a targeted strategy to reinvigorate older, historically productive oil fields in the hydrocarbon-rich Rocky Mountain region of the United States. Using waterflood injection and CO2 flooding, coupled with other leading edge hydrocarbon recovery techniques such as 3-D seismic data and directional drilling, Rancher Energy expects to extract proven in-place oil that remains behind in mature fields. Rising energy demand and strong oil & gas prices combined with advances in oil recovery have made this strategy profitable. Rancher Energy is taking advantage of this convergence by acquiring low risk, high quality, historically productive plays with under-exploited reserves and developing customized enhanced recovery strategies to maximize production.
