"SCOTTSDALE, AZ - January 4, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - Oil and Gas News; American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) reports the Company has finalized plans for the next oil well to be drilled at the North Oklahoma Project. The well has been designated NOS227 and is planned for a depth of 4,000 feet.
NOS227 will be a vertical well that is a direct offset to the recently completed commercial oil well at the NOJ26 location. The new well is taking advantage of a favorable oil producing geological trend up dip and to the west where the productive Woodford and Mississippi Formations are the primary objective. The location also offers excellent potential in the Simpson and Wilcox formations. A multiple objective well minimizes risk given the four potentially productive horizons.”

TAG Oil (TSX-V: TAO) Announces Cheal Horizontal Well Success and Commercialization of Sidewinder Oil and Gas Discovery

Vancouver, B.C. � January 6, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) � Canadian listed, New Zealand oil and gas producer TAG Oil Ltd. (TSX-V: TAO) reported today that ongoing production testing of the 100%-controlled Cheal-BH-1 horizontal well in the Taranaki Basin of New Zealand continues with positive results. To date, a conservative range of low draw-down configurations has been tested, with associated production rates ranging from 400 to 500 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day (predominantly oil) with no water.
In coming months, TAG will further test the full production capabilities of the Cheal-BH-1 well, with the goal of optimizing daily flow rates while maximizing long term reserve recovery. The continued positive results being demonstrated at Cheal further support TAG's upcoming Cheal "step-out" drilling campaign commencing this February, 2011, targeting Mt. Messenger and Urenui Formation prospects which are defined on 3-D seismic, situated within the oil discovery fairway of the lightly explored Cheal acreage.
TAG Oil's Chief Executive Officer, Garth Johnson commented, "With hundreds of meters of high quality oil and gas pay across the horizontal section in the Cheal-BH-1 well, and the strong flowing pressures we've measured during testing, we can anticipate rapid capital recovery and long term profitability from this well. With further potential to increase the flow rate, this promising result � from the first-ever horizontal well drilled into the Mt. Messenger Formation � will allow us to capture more reserves, providing a positive impact in our approach to the future development of Cheal."
The current production output capabilities at the Cheal field from the wells that are permanently or temporarily tied into the Cheal Production Facility, now exceed 1,000 BOE per day. More information on the Cheal Oil Field discoveries in the Taranaki Basin can be found on TAG's website.
Sidewinder Oil and Gas Discovery
TAG Oil also announced that significant progress is being made towards fast-tracking the commercialization of the Sidewinder-1 oil and gas discovery. Development of the new Sidewinder Production Station, including a 3-km pipeline link into New Zealand's main gas transmission grid, is being designed to accommodate oil and gas production from all future Sidewinder wells.
InvestorIdeas.com Newswire
"The high deliverability test results from the Sidewinder-1 well combined with strong gas prices in New Zealand, provide compelling economics, with drilling and development costs potentially recoverable in under six months." Mr. Johnson commented. "With this new facility in place, we can commercialize additional Sidewinder wells quickly and cost effectively."
TAG's present timeline forecasts facility commissioning, with estimated initial production rates from the Sidewinder-1 well of 8 to10 million cubic feet of gas per day (1300 to 1600 barrels of oil equivalent per day), by mid-2011. "Together with Sidewinder and production from Cheal, TAG's daily production will increase substantially by the end of fiscal Q2, 2011." Mr. Johnson noted. "Also, successes arising from our current and planned 2011 Taranaki Basin drilling campaign would drive additional production and reserve growth in 2011."
More information on TAG Oil's Sidewinder discovery can be found on our website.
TAG Oil Ltd.
TAG Oil Ltd. is a Canadian-listed company (TSX-V: TAO) with operations in New Zealand. With 100% control over all its core assets, including oil and gas production infrastructure, TAG is anticipating production growth through development of multiple oil and gas discoveries in the Taranaki Basin. TAG is also targeting high-impact drilling opportunities on numerous exploration prospects identified over 3,500 sections of land onshore.
In the East Coast Basin, TAG is pursuing the major unconventional resource potential that has been demonstrated in the Waipawa Black Shale and Whangai Shale source-rock formations. These oil-rich, naturally fractured formations compare favorably to fractured shale formations such as the Bakken Shale in the Williston Basin.

Energy Stocks; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Reports NOJ26 oil well went on pump December 23rd
"SCOTTSDALE, AZ - December 27, 2010 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - Energy company, American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) reports that the NOJ26 oil well went on pump as of December 23rd at the North Oklahoma Project and is now in production. This is the second producing oil well at the project.
The well completion program is now finished having undergone a light fracture stimulation ("frack") and acidization of the upper Mississippi oil pay zone formation. Prior to the frack, the 40 foot pay zone was successfully tested and showed an oil cut of over 40% light oil which is now steadily increasing following the completion of the acid treatment.
The well will require several days in order to establish a stable production rate as the remaining frack fluid load will be pumped off during this period. Once fluid removal is complete, the daily oil production rate can be established, which is currently anticipated for an initial production rate (I.P.) in excess of 125 BPD. Ultimately, the true test of the well will be the actual quantity of oil sent to the tanks over the upcoming weeks as it is expected that this early flash of oil will be followed by a period of well stabilization.
As reported earlier, the Company has engineered the next offset location near the NOJ26 and will be announcing a near term spud date sometime in January. With several high quality Mississippian and Woodford development locations engineered as well as exploration locations on the Company's leases, American Petro-Hunter is currently finalizing the 2011 drilling program and will update stakeholders when plans are complete.” Visit this company: www.aaphreport.com

Energy Stocks; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Announces Plans for NOS227 as Next Well at North Oklahoma Project

American Petro-Hunter's second producing oil well at North Oklahoma Project

SCOTTSDALE, AZ - January 4, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) � Energy company, American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company"), today is pleased to announce that the Company has finalized plans for the next oil well to be drilled at the North Oklahoma Project. The well has been designated NOS227 and is planned for a depth of 4,000 feet.
NOS227 will be a vertical well that is a direct offset to the recently completed commercial oil well at the NOJ26 location. The new well is taking advantage of a favorable oil producing geological trend up dip and to the west where the productive Woodford and Mississippi Formations are the primary objective. The location also offers excellent potential in the Simpson and Wilcox formations. A multiple objective well minimizes risk given the four potentially productive horizons.
The Company has received an A.F.E. (Authority for Expenditure) from the operator for a 50% working interest in the upcoming well. The planned spud date will be announced shortly as soon as the schedule can be confirmed with the drilling contractor. Given that the No. 1 well and the NOJ26 well responded to acidization and fracture stimulation of the oil reservoirs, the Company expects that a similar completion programs will be implemented on the NOS227 well. The production target for this well is in the 125 to 150 BPD range; however, if multiple objectives are all productive, rates may be higher.
