Oil Services Stock Alert : Raptor (OTCQB: RRHI) Signs M.O.U. with Major Oilfield Service Provider for API Grade Barite Utilized in the Oil & Gas Well Drilling Sector

FREEHOLD, N.J. - May 8, 2012 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: RRHI), announces today the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with one of the world’s oilfield service giants. The MOU lays the groundwork for a long-term purchase agreement between both companies. Once in full production, the company estimates it will ship 220,000 tons/year against the 2M tons listed in the MOU. The MOU provides exclusive rights to the customer for all API (American Petroleum Institute) barite applications.

The Gulf of Mexico, home to the largest concentration of active rigs world-wide consumed up to 5M tons of bulk barite during CY2010 with the major contributors being China (3.6M tons) and India (1M tons). Barite is used as a weighting agent during drilling to reduce the formation pressures preventing well blowouts. API Grade bulk barite prices referenced in Industrial Minerals’ March 2012 commodity price list averaged $144/ton based on FOB China and FOB India conditions representing a 48% price increase since August 2011.

The company is also in early stage discussions with non-API customers to provide a combined total of 110,000 tons/year of the company’s premium barite for applications in the Paint, Automotive, Medical and Plastic/Rubber sectors. Pure Barium Sulfate (BaSO4) has a specific gravity of 4.5. Dodge Mine samples tested by the University of Zimbabwe in late 2011 documented the company’s white barite at 97.25% and the pink barite at 95.5% pure Barium Sulfate (BaSO4). With bright white barite during the 1st Qtr. commanding a price premium in the order of $225/ton, the company’s business model, once at full capacity, represents 330,000 tons/year taking optimum advantage of the high percentage of superior grade barite deposits at Dodge Mine to support non-API applications.

Dodge Mine is a world class, hydrothermal mountain range covering 305 acres. The barite deposits are 100% recoverable compared to certain barite mines in Nevada that are rated 45% recoverable. The company was proactive to recently acquire an additional 1235 acres along the mountain range bringing the total property size to 1540 acres. The company recently started a gravity mapping program to identify all mineral/metal types on the Dodge Mine property with first priority being barite anticipating a mineral/metal composite of probable/proven reserves. The gravity mapping program is targeting completion this June.

Al Pietrangelo, President & CEO of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc., stated, "The short term delay in alluvial surface gold mining was a bold move to aggressively secure Dodge Mine and surrounding property that should benefit the shareholders for years to come. As we move into production to generate revenue from the mineral/metal assets of Dodge Mine along with our intent to start alluvial gold production the second half of this year, we anticipate the combined revenue from both business units will create sustaining shareholder value on both fronts over the next 18 months."

The company is in early stage discussions with industry experts to vertically integrate certain stand alone minerals and blended minerals for value added revenue opportunities as well as continuing to target new mineral assets to compliment the company’s portfolio of mineral/metal assets.

Mr. Pietrangelo further stated, "This is a very exciting time for Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. Since the change of control of the parent company was effectuated last May, 2011, management has tirelessly sought out many opportunities for and on behalf of our shareholders." He added, "This is just the beginning of the many events that are expected to unfold, which we firmly believe will lead us to a strong profitable future."

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."

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.
