Item 2.01     Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
              --------------------------------------------------

     On September 28, 2006, Trans Energy,  Inc. completed the acquisition of the
J.B. Dewhurst oil and gas lease, consisting of a 100% working interest and 87.5%
net revenue  interest in seven  wells  located on 2200 acres in Grant  District,
Wetzel County, West Virginia.  The purchase price for the lease is $800,000 that
was due and paid at the closing.

     The lease was acquired from Tom O'Connell,  Bay Oil Company, LLC and Beacon
Lombard  Corporation.  Conveyance of the lease is by good and sufficient general
warranty  assignment,  free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and includes
the  entire  working  interest,  all  wells,  personal  property,  fixtures  and
improvements located on the lease.

     Trans Energy  becomes  responsible  for the plugging and  abandoning of the
acquired  wells,  as  necessary,  and for any  reclamation  of the  lands  after
plugging and abandoning  operations  are completed.  All plugging and abandoning
operations will be done in accordance with the applicable  rules and regulations
of the State of West Virginia or other jurisdictional authorities.

     Upon effectiveness of the assignment of the lease, all production, revenue,
costs,  expenses  and  other  liabilities  attributable  to the  assigned  wells
occurring  before  the  effective  time  will  belong  to the  sellers,  and all
production,  assets and  liabilities  occurring  after the  effective  time will
belong to Trans Energy.
