Recent Oklahoma Oil and Gas Stocks News;
Devon Energy Earns $416 Million in First-Quarter 2011; North American Onshore Production Increases 7 Percent
OKLAHOMA CITY---- Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN - News) today reported net earnings of $416 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, or $0.97 per common share ($0.97 per diluted common share). This compares with first-quarter 2010 net earnings of $1.2 billion, or $2.67 per common share ($2.66 per diluted common share). The decrease in quarterly earnings is primarily attributable to non-cash, unrealized changes in the fair value of oil, gas and NGL derivatives.
First-quarter 2011 financial results were impacted by certain items securities analysts typically exclude from their published estimates. The most significant of the adjusting items was a non-cash, unrealized loss on oil, gas and NGL derivatives of $254 million before-tax ($166 million after-tax). Excluding these adjusting items, Devon earned $575 million or $1.34 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2011. The adjusting items are discussed in more detail later in this news release.
Production Growth Exceeds Guidance, Driven By Strong Liquids Growth
Production from continuing operations averaged 629,000 oil-equivalent barrels (Boe) per day in the first quarter of 2011, in spite of curtailments related to severe winter weather. Compared to the first quarter of 2010, Devon’s North American onshore production increased seven percent and exceeded the top-end of the company’s guidance by 4,000 barrels per day. First-quarter production benefited from better than expected results from several core properties, including the Cana-Woodford and Barnett Shale.

Oil and Gas Stocks News; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Announces Drilling of Horizontal Well at North Oklahoma Project

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � May 16, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") is very pleased to announce that drilling operations have commenced at the Company's newest well site on the North Oklahoma Project. Today, drilling equipment has been mobilized with preparations underway for the Company's first horizontal well, designated NOM1H.
NOM1H is scheduled to spud tomorrow and is the first of an anticipated series of horizontal wells designed to exploit the Mississippi Formation. The over 100-foot thick limestone is the central focus of the well documented recent drilling and leasing frenzy in Oklahoma. Hundreds of horizontal wells have been executed, planned and/or implemented by companies such as Sandridge and Calyx in recent months. Of particular note, Sandridge announced in its latest year end filing that it had drilled and completed 29 wells with 8 remaining to be completed in the area.
The NOM1H well is anticipated to take several weeks to reach its engineered total depth, following which it will undergo a period of testing and evaluation. With the high success rate of analog wells in the area American Petro-Hunter has great hopes for a successful producer in this highly sought after oil play.
As the activity in the area has become extremely competitive, and information regarding detailed production rates of commercial quantities of oil and natural gas is increasingly regarded as tightly held information, the Company will endeavor to update stakeholders on a timely basis with drilling results as such information becomes available from the operator.
Company President Robert McIntosh states, "We are extremely pleased to have begun our very first venture into the realm of horizontal well drilling. This venture offers us a possibility like no other, to immediately and significantly increase our oil production. The opportunity to be right in the heart of the hunt for 'big oil' in Oklahoma is an exciting step for the Company and we hope will prove to be beneficial for all concerned."

Oil and Gas News Alert; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Announces the Addition of Two New Wells on Pump

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � May 11, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") is very pleased to announce today that the Company has brought both of its newest wells on pump at two separate North Oklahoma Project locations.
Pump equipment has been successfully installed at the NOS122 well site and has begun a test phase. Prior to installation, the well "free-flowed" oil to the test tank. Previous swab tests resulted in high gravity oil of 100% oil cut with no water from 6 feet of pay. Initial test results look excellent and American Petro-Hunter is anticipating a strong producer.
The well will continue to be evaluated over a period of weeks in order to identify initial production rates and ultimately to determine stable production rates projected over time. The tank battery and full production facilities are under construction. The Company has a minimum of 3 additional offsets to the NOS122 for future development and site engineering has been designed to accommodate future production requirements.
The second location to go on pump this week was at the NOS227 well site. Following a "multi-stage surge frack," where multiple injections of liquefied frack sand "proppants" were forced under high pressure into the Mississippi pay zone, the stimulation process successfully fractured the limestone reservoir allowing for an anticipated increase in the flow of oil. In readiness for commercial production, the pumping unit, rods and tubing have already been installed at NOS227. Over the next 12-15 days the frack load will be pumped off allowing the oil to commence flowing freely.
American Petro-Hunter has a 50% interest in both wells and production from the NOS122 and NOS227 will be sold alongside output from the No. 1 and NOJ26 wells to Sunoco, the regional purchaser. The latest achievements will increase the Company's revenue advantage to 4 producing wells in Oklahoma and two in Kansas.

Oil and Gas Stocks News; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Begins Multi-Stage Surge Frack at North Oklahoma Project

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � May 4, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") announced today the commencement of a "multi-stage surge frack" regarded as the final event in the completion process at the NOS227 well prior to the onset of commercial oil production.
The fracture stimulation ("frack") program is a newly designed approach intended to break apart the reservoir allowing for a significant increase in the flow of oil. The process has proven to be highly effective in dramatically increasing production from the Mississippi formation elsewhere in the area. Currently, all requisite equipment has arrived onsite and efforts have commenced.
As previously reported, analogous vertical wells located nearby and to the north of NOS227 and having undergone an identical stimulation program have paid out in less than 90 days. The new completion technologies offer the potential to deliver vastly higher production through the use of the latest enhanced reservoir stimulation technologies. The "multi-stage surge frack" is a proven advanced technology that has delivered excellent results regionally and was chosen as the approach presenting the best potential yield results given the geology of the location. The frack of the well will stimulate 85 feet of the pay in the Mississippi Formation and American Petro-Hunter has targeted an initial production rate (I.P.R.) post-frack of 300 BPOD.
American Petro-Hunter has a 50% interest in the well and production from NOS227 will be sold alongside output from the No. 1 and NOJ26 wells to Sunoco, the regional purchaser. West Texas Intermediate Crude today has recently been priced at $112 per barrel and continues to rise based on instability in the Middle East.

CALGARY, ALBERTA - May 2, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy stocks newswire) � Aroway Minerals Inc. (TSX-V:ARW; PINK:ARWJF) (www.arowayenergy.com) (the "Company") - The Company is pleased to announce the following update on its operations in the Peace River Arch area of Alberta.
The company's first well of the 2011 exploration program has been drilled, completed and tested and will begin producing from the Leduc formation in approximately three weeks. Production tie-in operations on this well were suspended as a result of "spring break-up" weather conditions commonly experienced at this time of the year in the area. The tie in construction will immediately commence once "spring break-up" has come to an end. The company is pleased to report that the regulatory approvals are all in place and the equipment, pipe and crews are prepared. Testing on the Company's second well of the 2011 drill program will also continue when road bans in the area are lifted and results will be released at that time.
Chris Cooper, President commented, "Spring Break-up puts our industry at an operations standstill for a month or so each year. We look forward to continued positive results when operations begin again in a couple of weeks."
Upon completion of the tie-in to its joint venture partner's pipeline and facilities, stabilized production numbers for this first well of the 2011 drill program will be released.
These are the first two of a possible six to eight wells planned for the joint venture partnership's 2011 drill program. All of the planned exploration and/or development wells to be drilled are defined by 3-D seismic, have multi-zone prospectivity and are close to infrastructure.
About Aroway Energy Inc.
Aroway Energy Inc. is a Western Canadian junior oil and gas production and exploration company participating in "non-operated" Peace River Arch oil and gas exploration prospects, through a joint venture partnership.

Oil and Gas Stocks News; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Announces New Oil Well NOS122 to Go Into Immediate Commercial Production

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � May 2, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") is very pleased to announce the latest producing oil well in an ongoing series of wells at the North Oklahoma Yale Prospect. The well has been designated as NOS122 and has been swab tested and deemed ready for immediate commercial production.
The NOS122 is a re-entry project where the well bore and casing was opened and then cleaned, with tests resulting in high gravity oil swabbed at a final rate of 5 barrels per hour or the equivalent of 120 barrels per day at 2,700 feet. The testing showed 100% oil cut with no water from 6 feet of sand within the Skinner Formation.
The Skinner is an historic "over producer" of oil. An analog well to the north produced an I.P.R. (Initial Production Rate) of 700 barrels per day and cumulatively produced 80,000 barrels from a 3 foot sand thickness. The NOS122 shows a 6 foot interval and the Company has hopes that rates will exceed the 120 BPOD test rate.
American Petro-Hunter and partner, each with 50% working interests, are moving quickly to install a pump jack, tubing in the well and hook-up to a tank battery. Commercial sales are scheduled to begin immediately upon completion of the equipment installation.
The Skinner zone is a new addition to the Woodford and Mississippi formations already in production at the projects 3 other commercial wells and the related geology of the leases is under analysis to incorporate any and all Skinner potential to existing data. The NOS122 is on a 160 lease block with 3 additional offset locations possible.
In related news at the NOS227 well site, the "multi-stage surge frack," designed by the engineering team to be implemented by Basic Well Services of Cushing, Oklahoma is set for May 4th. Management believes the frack will result in oil production at NOS227with an Initial Production Rate ("IPR") of 300 barrels of oil per day (BOPD). The Company will update progress of the frack as soon as activities warrant, on or shortly after May 4th.
Company President and C.E.O. Robert McIntosh states, "The new NOS122 Skinner Well is a great addition to our growing production in Oklahoma and will be producing soon at very little cost to the Company. The fact that the Skinner is oil with associated gas and with no water to dispose of makes the well extremely profitable with virtually immediate payback to our investment."
