NOTIFICATION OF THE REMOVAL FROM LISTING AND
REGISTRATION OF THE STATED SECURITIES

NYSE Amex hereby notifies
the SEC of its intention to remove
the entire class of the stated securities
from listing and registration on the
Exchange at the opening of business on
December 28, 2009, pursuant to the provisions
of Rule 12d2-2 (a) 17CFR240.12d2-2(a)(3)

The removal of United Refining Energy Corp.,
Common Stock, $.0001 par value per share, and
Units consisting of one share of Common Stock
and one Common Stock Purchase Warrant, is being
effected because the Exchange knows or is reliably
informed that on December 14, 2009 the instruments
representing the securities comprising
the entire class of this security came
to evidence, by operation of law or
otherwise, other securities in
substitution therefore and represent
no other right except, if such be
the fact, the right to receive an
immediate cash payment.

The security was suspended by the
Exchange on December 15, 2009.
