Dejour Energy Inc. (NYSE MKT: DEJ / TSX: DEJ), an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company operating in North America's Piceance Basin and Peace River Arch regions, today announced that it has executed a sale and farmout agreement covering a total of ~7,450 acres of 100% owned western Piceance Basin lands to a large NYSE listed E&P with significant operations in the Piceance and other portions of the U.S., for an undisclosed cash consideration and a commitment to carry Dejour through the drilling and completion of three earning wells, with certain performance provisions. Dejour will retain a 20% WI in over 5,100 acres in this project.
