PART I - REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Full Name of Registrant:  Trans Energy, Inc.

Former Name if Applicable:

Address of Principal Executive Office
(Street and Number)                       210 Second Street
City, State and Zip Code:                 St. Marys, West Virginia 26170



PART II - RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense
and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should
be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

[X]            (a) The reasons  described  in  reasonable  detail in Part III of
               this form could not be eliminated without  unreasonable effort or
               expense;

[X]            (b) The subject annual  report,  semi-annual  report,  transition
               report on Form  10-K,  Form 20-F,  11-K or Form -SAR,  or portion
               thereof,  will be  filed  on or  before  the  fifteenth  calendar
               following  the  prescribed  due date;  or the  subject  quarterly
               report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will
               be filed on the or before the fifth  calendar day  following  the
               prescribed due date: and

               (c) The accountant's  statement or other exhibit required by Rule
               12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable  detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11- K, 10-Q,
-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the
prescribed time period.

The  registrant's  independent  auditors have not yet completed their review and
finalization of the registrant's  financial statements and have not issued their
audit  report.  The Form 10-KSB cannot be completed and filed until the audit is
finalized.  Management anticipates that the financial statements and review will
be  completed  in time  so that  the  annual  report  can be  filed  within  the
prescribed extension period.
