HINTO Energy, Inc. announced the acquisition of a 100% working interest in 9 natural gas wells and approximately 4,400 gross leased acres in the Cisco Springs oil and gas field, in the Uintah Basin of Grand County, Utah from Pride Ventures. The company is planning to connect the gas wells of its other Cisco holdings into the newly acquired local gas gathering system, as soon as proper testing and evaluation is completed. In addition to existing production and rework opportunities, the company believes the leases acquired provide significant potential for drilling additional oil and gas wells.

The company will continue to look at opportunities to expand its lease holdings in the Greater Cisco area.
