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.

"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.

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.

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.

Karl Miller Morning Market Update on Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK)

December 23, 2010 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - Energy Report from Karl Miller
Morning Market Update: Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) with price now above $25.60/share in morning trading, stock looks like and "extremely attractive short sale" at these inflated levels. Since November 30, 2010 CHK shares have risen over 21%, well ahead of the Company's ability to generate cash flow per share in 2011 and 2012 given capital expenditure commitments, leasehold obligations, and capped prices due to forward sales through volumetric production payments (VPP's).

Energy Market Update: Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) Fully Priced At $25/Share

December 22, 2010 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - CHK is fully priced with speculative valuation embedded into the stock price following the announcement that Carl Icahn has taken a 5.8% stake in the Company.
Mr. Miller is a longtime advocate and supporter of CHK and has published many long term favorable opinions on the Company and its operations, due primarily to management's ability to execute on attracting large capital partners to offset substantial capital production cost and structure volumetric production payments (VPP's) on natural gas production.
However, investors must do their homework on CHK and Mr. Miller has been cautious in his recommendations that shareholders stage their capital at risk in CHK over time.
Mr. Miller believes that CHK is fully priced at $25.00/share given the substantial speculative price run up following Icahn Enterprises increasing their stake to 5.8%.
As a comparison, while Dynegy Inc. was relatively easy to manhandle by investors like Icahn Enterprises, due to extremely weak management and a fragmented shareholder base, CHK is well run at the operational level, a much larger enterprise, has multiple very large joint venture partners including Total, BP, Statoil, and other who will back up the Company in any attempt to disrupt its operations and their significant investments.
Mr. Miller believes it is very premature to assume that there will be any material control play in the near term on CHK and even if Icahn Enterprises does attempt to exert some influence, it will ultimately be minimal in the near term.
CHK is facing substantial valuation issues regarding the future value of cash flows, including potential implementation of what we refer to as "environmental taxes" on its natural gas fracking operations due to concerns regarding groundwater contamination, excessive drilling across the sector for the duration of 2011 (which is beyond CHK control), substantial leverage and debt service (interest payments), and carbon emission uncertainties, which all serve to place a "hard cap" on CHK common stock price, irrespective of any activist shareholder activities or desires.
The net result is that CHK all in production cost curve looks to be positioned to rise, while the natural gas price curve is subject to continued weakness due to industry capital expenditure and drilling commitments for 2011.
These factors, when combined with the uncertainties surrounding the production decline curves of the Shale Gas leaseholds lead to a near term price cap for CHK common stock.

American Petro-Hunter Finalizing Completion of NOJ26 Oil Well in Readiness for
Immediate Commercial Production

“SCOTTSDALE, AZ - December 13, 2010 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) – American
Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") today wishes
to announce that the Company has now reached the final stage of the ongoing well completion
program of the NOJ26 oil well at the North Oklahoma Project. The well is currently undergoing
preparations to commence commercial production.

The final stage of the completion program is underway and involves the acidization and a
light fracture stimulation of the upper Mississippi oil pay zone formation. Once the program is
concluded this week, the well will be put on pump for immediate production. Scheduling is on
track and facility infrastructure is readied for production and shipment of oil for sale.

As reported earlier, NOJ26 encountered a 40 foot oil pay zone in the Mississippi formation.
The Company and operator are encouraged by data at two analog wells producing from the
same formation less than 1/2 mile away which have cumulatively yielded 46,000 barrels of oil
and .75 BCF gas to date. It is anticipated that NOJ26 will produce an early flash of oil greater
than 100 barrels per day followed by a period of well stabilization. The true test of the well and
its subsequent flow rates will be based on the actual quantity of oil sent to the tanks over the
upcoming weeks and months ahead.”

Ivanhoe Energy announces significant natural gas discovery at Yixin-2 well on Zitong
Block in China
“CALGARY, Dec. 21 , David Dyck, President and Chief Operating Officer of Ivanhoe Energy
Inc. (TSX:IE. ), Robert Friedland, Co-Chairman of Ivanhoe Energy's China-focused subsidiary,
Sunwing Energy Ltd., and Gerry Moench, President of Sunwing, today announced a significant
gas discovery at Sunwing's Yixin-2 well in Southwest China.

Gas from the well flowed at rates of up to 13 million cubic feet per day, and averaged 9 to 10
million cubic feet per day during the initial 24-hour test period. Gas is flowing from the Xu-4
Formation, a well established gas-producing formation in the region.

"We're very pleased with these initial flow rates," Mr. Dyck said. "The rates recorded from the
Xu-4 Formation demonstrate the discovery's strong potential and are incentive for Sunwing
to continue with further development of the Xu-4 formation, and other structures in the Zitong
Block."

Following initial flow and pressure tests, the well has now been shut-in for pressure build-up.

Sunwing's 659,840-acre (1,031-square-mile) Zitong Block is in the Sichuan Province; the oldest
and one of the most productive gas-producing regions in China. Sinopec and PetroChina have
made significant gas discoveries from the Xu-2, Xu-4 and Permian formations in adjacent blocks.”

Energy Stocks News; TAG Oil (TSX-V: TAO) Acquires Offshore Exploration Acreage, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

Vancouver, B.C. � December 16, 2010 (Investorideas.com Energy Stocks Newswire) � Canadian listed, New Zealand oil and gas producer TAG Oil Ltd. (TSX-V: TAO), announced today that the Company has completed the acquisition of a 20% interest in offshore exploration Permit PEP 52181, which covers a 42,379-acre area in the main Taranaki oil and gas discovery fairway.

PEP 52181, operated by a subsidiary of Australian-based Roc Oil Limited, is located just 8 km from shore and is in close proximity to existing infrastructure, making commercialization in the event of discovery efficient and cost effective.

The attractive Kaheru Prospect is situated in a successful discovery fairway and in close proximity to production infrastructure.

The Permit, which contains the Kaheru Prospect and numerous other leads, has extensive 2-D and 3-D seismic coverage, and has been identified to have high-impact exploration potential with a good chance for success. Kaheru is a Miocene-aged prospect on the same successful thrust belt play fairway as many significant Taranaki oil and gas fields, including: Rimu, Kauri, Manutahi immediately north, and the Tariki, Ahuroa, Waihapa and Ngaere (�TAWN�) fields further north. Immediately to the west, the large Kupe Gas-Condensate field is now also in full production.
Please link to our site for further information on TAG's Taranaki Basin oil and gas fields.
TAG Oil CEO Garth Johnson commented, �This new acquisition is an excellent addition to our Taranaki Basin prospect portfolio. The Kaheru Prospect brings TAG a significant amount of resource potential, and an opportunity to enter a new permit with a proven international offshore operator. We look forward to working with Roc Oil Limited and the other joint venture partners with a view to advancing Kaheru to the drilling phase.�
TAG is also pleased to report that production testing of the Cheal-BH-1 horizontal well continues, with the well now flowing oil, gas and fracture fluids. The Company anticipates that once all fracture fluids and excess fracture sand have been recovered, a reliable stabilized flow rate will be achieved. �TAG is very encouraged by the testing of the horizontal well thus far, as well as all of the results from workover operations on existing Cheal wells. This has resulted in TAG recently achieving the highest daily oil and gas production volume in Cheal's history.� continued Mr. Johnson.
More information on TAG's oil and gas production can be found on our website.
The Company will recommence drilling at Cheal and Sidewinder in February 2011. The program includes development and step-out drilling, as well as exploration drilling targeting high-impact prospects defined on 3-D seismic, all within the Company's 100%-controlled Taranaki Basin portfolio.
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 production infrastructure, TAG is anticipating production growth through development of multiple oil and gas discoveries in the Taranaki Basin and through high-impact exploration drilling on prospects identified over 3,500 sections of land.
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 that are widespread across the Company's acreage. The geological characteristics of these oil-rich, naturally fractured, thermally mature formations compare favorably to fractured shale formations such as the Bakken Shale in the Williston Basin and Liassic Shale in the Paris Basin.

Woodford Shale a "world class oil and gas target "- Robert McIntosh, President & C.E.O.of American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH)
Point Roberts WA- December 9, 2010 .www.Investorideas.com, an investor research portal that specializes in sector research including energy stocks, reports on the Woodford Shale play as interest in energy stocks heats up.
The Woodford Shale formation has attracted some of the largest independent oil and gas companies including Devon Energy, XTO Energy, Petrohawk Energy, Southwestern Energy, Marathon Oil, Newfield Exploration and Continental Resources. Chesapeake Energy sold its Woodford position to BP in 2008.
Robert McIntosh, President & C.E.O.of American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH) reports, "We are in the Woodford Shale Play, as it is becoming a major oil and gas producing reservoir across the Anadarko Basin, the Cherokee Platform and the Arkoma basin which trend east west across the State. Between 2003 and 2010, over 1,000 vertical and 300 horizontal wells have been drilled in the Woodford. Of these, 1,200 wells have produced 1.4 million barrels of oil and 560 billion cubic feet (Bcf) gas since 2004. The Woodford Shale has first generated the oil that filled many of the old, conventional reservoirs and now it's being exploited as a reservoir in its own right. It is truly becoming a "world class oil and gas target". All the majors are there. Devon is especially active and has just updated its 2010 Cana Project drilling plans where it now expects to drill 100 wells, up from the previously announced 80.
Oklahoma is one of the nation's premier oil-producing states and the Woodford is a unique reservoir that offers tremendous potential for both oil and gas. The key is identifying the oil bearing parts and engineering the horizontal wells to drill along the shale which will, after fracking the oil shale, produce oil in very profitable economic rates. These wells are not inexpensive as we estimate $1.75 to $2.2 million to drill and complete a 1,500 foot lateral. But the reward is huge-as a well may potentially deliver 500 to 1,000 barrels per day which would pay back the capital investment in rapid fashion and allow excellent cash flow for the growth of the Company's future. We feel we have a tremendous lease package that holds many locations for both horizontal and vertical wells and have implemented and planned an active 2011 drilling program."

Energy Stocks; American Petro-Hunter (OTC.BB: AAPH ) Finalizing Completion of NOJ26
Oil Well in Readiness for Immediate Commercial Production

“SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Investorideas.com energy newswire 12/13/10) - American Petro-Hunter,
Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH ) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") today wishes to announce
that the Company has now reached the final stage of the ongoing well completion program of the
NOJ26 oil well at the North Oklahoma Project. The well is currently undergoing preparations to
commence commercial production.

The final stage of the completion program is underway and involves the acidization and a
light fracture stimulation of the upper Mississippi oil pay zone formation. Once the program is
concluded this week, the well will be put on pump for immediate production. Scheduling is on
track and facility infrastructure is readied for production and shipment of oil for sale.

As reported earlier, NOJ26 encountered a 40 foot oil pay zone in the Mississippi formation.
The Company and operator are encouraged by data at two analog wells producing from the
same formation less than 1/2 mile away which have cumulatively yielded 46,000 barrels of oil
and .75 BCF gas to date. It is anticipated that NOJ26 will produce an early flash of oil greater
than 100 barrels per day followed by a period of well stabilization. The true test of the well and
its subsequent flow rates will be based on the actual quantity of oil sent to the tanks over the

upcoming weeks and months ahead. “

Oil and Gas Stocks; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Finalizing Completion of NOJ26 Oil Well in Readiness for Immediate Commercial Production

Company President Robert McIntosh states "with the recent increase in the price of oil to over $89 per barrel, the Company is very confident that we will have a commercially viable well on pump very soon which, if it produces as anticipated at more than 100 BPD for the initial production period, it could net the Company an additional $120,000 per month beginning in 2011 and pay out within three months. We are already moving ahead and have engineered our next offset location near to the NOJ26 and are scheduling a near term spud date expected for early January."
