Oil and Gas Stock News; Osage (OTCBB: OEDV.OB) Spuds Second Horizontal Mississippian Well in Nemaha Ridge Project; Total Depth Reached on First Well

SAN DIEGO - January 18, 2012 (Investorideas.com Energy Newswire) - Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. (OTCBB: OEDV.OB) is pleased to announce the spudding of the Krittenbrink 2-36H on January 8, 2012 in Logan County, Oklahoma two days after the completion of the Company�s second disposal well. The Krittenbrink 2-36H is the second horizontal Mississippian well to commence drilling in conjunction with its partners, Slawson Exploration Company and US Energy Development Corporation.

Osage is also pleased to announce that total measured depth of 9,917 feet has been reached on the Wolfe 1-29H, the first horizontal Mississippian well in the Company's previously announced 20,000 acre Nemaha Ridge project.
"Osage is methodically achieving its early goals," stated Kim Bradford, Chairman and CEO of Osage Exploration and Development. "Additionally, as the drilling of our first two horizontal Mississippian wells progresses, we are witnessing a significant increase in both drilling and leasing activity by major producers adjacent to the Company�s Logan County acreage. This activity is targeting both the Mississippian and more notably, the Woodford formations to which Osage also owns rights across its acreage block. We believe that this activity provides strong third-party validation of our geological thesis and points to the value of the multiple formations in the acreage block that we have assembled."
Greg Franklin, Osage�s Vice President of Exploration, stated, "In order to optimize the results in our initial wells, we have been carefully studying the hydraulic fracturing and completion techniques utilized to date by the other significant players in the horizontal Mississippian play. We feel that as a result, we are oriented to achieve outstanding results in the early wells of this program."

The Jackson A&D lease has 30 existing closed wells and one injection well currently located thereon. As announced on November 9 th, 2012, Geo Finance Corporation entered into an option agreement with Armurtex Oil Corporation whereby Armurtex partnered with GEFI to acquire the property.

Energy Stock to Watch: Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN) Trades up over 6% on Sinopec Deal

POINT ROBERTS, January 3, 2012 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, an investor stock research portal focusing on sector research including energy stocks issues an investor alert for oil and gas stock, Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN). The stock is trading up at$65.94, up 3.94 (6.35%) in morning trading on news of a deal with Sinopec and as oil trades up over $102.00.

Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN) today announced it has signed an agreement with Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration & Production Corporation (SIPC) whereby SIPC will invest $2.2 billion in exchange for one-third of Devon’s interest in five new venture plays. Prior to this transaction, Devon had assembled 1.2 million net acres in the company’s previously announced positions in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale, Niobrara, Mississippian, Ohio Utica Shale and the Michigan Basin. The companies have recently added acreage in the Ohio Utica Shale, increasing their joint position in the play to 235,000 net acres.
SIPC will also reimburse Devon for drilling costs incurred prior to closing and acreage acquisition costs incurred subsequent to the effective date of the agreement. SIPC will make a $900 million cash payment upon closing and $1.6 billion paid in the form of a drilling carry. The drilling carry will fund 70 percent of Devon’s capital requirements, which results in SIPC paying 80 percent of the overall development costs during the carry period. Based on the current work plan, the company expects the entire $1.6 billion carry to be realized by year-end 2014. Through 2012, the companies expect to drill approximately 125 gross wells in the five plays.
"This arrangement improves Devon's capital efficiency by recovering our land and drilling costs to date and by significantly reducing our future capital commitments,” said John Richels, Devon's president and chief executive officer. "We can accelerate the derisking and commercialization of these five plays without diverting capital from our core development projects. This transaction also provides us further flexibility to seek exposure to additional new play types with less risk.”
"While we are still in the early stages of derisking these plays, the tremendous response by industry to our data room process clearly underscores the attractiveness of this opportunity,” said Dave Hager, Devon's executive vice president of exploration and production. "We believe our strong acreage positions in these plays, our reputation as a quality operator and the uniqueness of the opportunity for exposure to five different plays in a single venture make this a compelling value proposition.”
Devon will serve as the operator and will have ultimate responsibility for the allocation of capital. The company is also responsible for commercially marketing all production from these plays into the North American market. Subject to customary government and regulatory approvals, the closing is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2012.
Devon Energy Corporation is an Oklahoma City-based independent energy company engaged in oil and gas exploration and production. Devon is a leading U.S.-based independent oil and gas producer and is included in the S&P 500 Index. For additional information, visit www.devonenergy.com.

This was 38 percent higher on a per share basis than    in the preceding quarter. For the nine month reporting period, the year-    over-year increase was 114 percent per share. --  Net income for the third quarter was $11.4 million ($0.14 per share).

Oil and Gas Stocks News; American Petro-Hunter's (OTCBB: AAPH) 2nd Horizontal Oil Well Begins Commercial Production in North Oklahoma

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � November 7, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") today is pleased to announce that the Company's 2nd Horizontal well, the NOW-2H has commenced commercial oil and gas production at the North Oklahoma Mississippi Lime Project.

Following drilling of the horizontal portion of the well, the NOW-2H was completed and tied in to the existing gas line and tank battery. A period of commercial testing and evaluation is now underway. Production data will be assessed and evaluated from the lateral penetration of the Mississippi limestone formation ("Mississippi Lime") which exhibited excellent oil and gas shows in highly fractured reservoir rock. After the requisite period of testing, the Company will determine whether future reservoir fracture stimulation would prove beneficial as demonstrated with the successful program completed at the NOM-1H well.
As previously reported, an upper sand horizon cut on the vertical portion of NOW-2H showed a substantial oil filled pay thickness which will be perforated and tested once all down-hole development of the Mississippi portions of the well are finished. The significance of this additional perforation will result in co-mingled oil and gas production from the higher zone along with primary production from the Mississippi Lime.
At the Company's NOM-1H well, we continue to successfully pump off hydraulic fluids introduced during the fracture stimulation (frack) in the productive sections of the well. Approximately half the frack fluid load has been recovered to-date. It is important to note that production has not been interrupted during this process as an excellent oil cut appeared almost immediately and has been increasing steadily with oil flowing to the storage tanks on a daily basis. Production is now double what existed prior to the frack and the ultimate goal of the stimulation is to achieve a five-fold increase in the daily oil and gas rates.
Company president Robert McIntosh states, "The NOW-2H well becoming a commercial producer is an important step in the development of the project as we build our daily production from the North Oklahoma Mississippi Project. The process provides our engineering team invaluable knowledge and expertise aimed at delivering the most cost effective way of drilling and completing these well to maximize their potential. So far, our development plans for the future looks very promising for the 4th quarter of 2011 and into our 2012 drilling schedule. Once we are able to co-mingle this latest well and derive its ultimate productive capability, we plan on drilling offsets and implementing the recently gleaned information as part of our projected development scenario for the project."
About American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH)
The Company is a goal-oriented exploration and production (E&P) Company aiming to become an intermediate level oil and gas producer within 12 months. The Company is in production at the Poston Project in Trego County Kansas with new drilling activity and production underway at the North Oklahoma Oil Project. With the achievable target of becoming a 1000 BOE producer as our goal, American Petro-Hunter is actively on the "hunt" for domestic petroleum assets. Visit us at: www.americanpetrohunter.com

Oil and Gas Drilling Plans for the Mississippian: (OTCBB: OEDV), (NasdaqGM: RAM), (NYSE: RRC), (NYSE: SD)

Point Roberts, WA - October 24, 2011 (Investorideas.com Energy Newswire) - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in sector research for independent investors including oil and gas stocks, issues an update on publicly traded oil and gas stocks reporting drilling plans for the Mississippian Formation for the fourth quarter and into 2012.

Sandridge Energy Inc. (NYSE: SD) raised investor awareness to the significance of the Mississippian Formation play when it announced in August it entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of Atinum Partners Co., Ltd., an investment firm in the Republic of Korea. According to the agreement, SandRidge will transfer a 13.2% non-operated working interest in approximately 860,000 acres, or approximately 113,000 net acres to Atinum for $500 million.
Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. ( OTCBB: OEDV) noted in its September release, when the Company also reported an increase in its net acreage to 15,000 acres: “Slawson Exploration as Operator is focused on drilling the project in the fourth quarter this year, yet is bringing a tremendous amount of leadership to the land acquisition process as well. The synergy that has been created by the contribution of U.S. Energy on the land side, coupled with Slawson's and our own efforts, has increased the overall acquisition efficiency dramatically from my perspective," stated Kim Bradford, Chairman and CEO.
Slawson Exploration Company is the Operator of the project and owns 45%, U.S. Energy Development Corporation owns 30%, and Osage Exploration has 25%.
RAM Energy Resources, Inc (NasdaqGM: RAM ) reported in a recent update it is tentatively planning to drill its first horizontal Mississippi well in early 2012. The processing and interpretation of the company's Phase II seismic survey, which covers 31 square miles of the concession to the south and east of the 25 square-mile Phase I survey, is complete. The identification of potential new drilling locations over the Phase II survey is beginning, setting the stage for future drilling.
Range Resources Corporation (NYSE: RRC) reported to shareholders that leasing activity expanded during the quarter in the Mississippian horizontal play of northern Oklahoma. Having started the year with 15,000 net acres, Range's position has increased to over 92,000 net acres. Reserve projections are estimated in the range of 400-500 MBOE per well for approximately 2,000 foot laterals at depths of 5,000 feet. These potential reserves generate attractive finding and development costs, along with strong rates of return in this liquids-rich play. Range's production from the Mississippi horizontal area continues to hold at 3,400 gross (2,709 net) BOE per day. With its larger acreage position, Range is targeting a two rig drilling program in 2012 and is currently focused on adding the necessary infrastructure to facilitate future development
Sandridge Energy Inc. (NYSE: SD ), the most dominant player in the Mississippian Play, previously told Investorideas.com, "As far as our drilling plans for 2011, our capital plan has us drilling about 140 producers in the Mississippian.". Sandridge recently sold $231 Million in assets in its East Texas natural gas properties to focus on its core plays including the Mississippian.
This asset sale is part of the capital plan to execute our 3 Year Strategy of tripling EBITDA, doubling oil production, and lowering our debt ratio by the end of 2014 by continuing to develop high rate of return oil wells in the Central Basin Platform and the Mississippian play in the Mid-Continent."

A: Kim Bradford, President and CEO of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc.
All of the major Oklahoma based publicly traded oil and gas exploration companies have been involved in developing horizontal Mississippian projects. SandRidge Energy (NYSE: SD), Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE: CHK), Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE: DVN), Range Resources (NYSE: RRC), Continental Resources (NYSE: CLR) as well as many privately owned Oklahoma based companies are involved in the play. PetroQuest (NYSE:PQ) joins the growing list of non-Oklahoma based companies acquiring horizontal Mississippian projects. What I believe we are seeing is a similar sort of phenomenon like we have witnessed in the Marcellus shale play, the Haynesville shale play, and others which is that companies feel that they have to be exposed to this play. Strategically, the bigger oil companies cannot afford to miss a domestic opportunity with great economics, unless it is truly is outside their area of focus or expertise. It is fair to say that almost every significant oil company in America has access and expertise in the Mid-Continent, so we are seeing a groundswell in the number of companies endorsing the horizontal Mississippian in Oklahoma.
