Natural Gas Stocks - Time to Buy?

New York, NY - June 7, 2012 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com , and its natural gas stocks portal, www,naturalgasstocks.com issues an investor alert for natural gas stocks and why now might be a good time to buy.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that: natural gas is well on its way to a bright future, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) that projects China will more than double consumption over the next five years while lower prices from the unconventional gas revolution will continue to benefit the United States.
The report, Medium-Term Gas Market Report 2012, released this week at the World Gas Conference 2012, says China will become the third-largest gas importer behind Europe and Asia Oceania, driving a 2.7% average annual growth in global gas demand through 2017 (up from the 2.4% annual growth rate predicted in last year's report). During the period, North America will become a net LNG exporter, while Japanese imports will increase, although by how much will hinge on the country's nuclear policies.
Medium-Term Gas Market Report 2012, part of a series of IEA medium-term market reports also featuring coal, oil and renewable energy, presents detailed forecasts for the next five years of sectoral demand by region plus supply and trade. An in-depth analysis addresses infrastructure investments in LNG and pipelines."

Water/ Energy Stock News: RIDGELINE (TSX-V: RLE; OTCQX: RGDEF) ENTERS AGREEMENT FOR SIX WATER TREATMENT FACILITIES

CALGARY, Alberta - May 15, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Ridgeline Energy Services Inc. ( TSX-V: RLE; OTCQX: RGDEF) ("Ridgeline" or the "Company"), an energy services and water treatment company, has signed an agreement with Kerr Energy, LLC of Fort Worth, Texas for the installation of six water treatment facilities to be located in western Texas.

WATER TREATMENT AGREEMENT
The agreement with Kerr Energy is for seven years with a right of renewal and has projected revenues of $24 million dollars in the first five years. The first of Ridgeline's water treatment facilities will be installed on Kerr Energy's Salt Water Disposal ("SWD") wells located near Monahans, Texas and will treat produced and hydraulic fracturing flowback water for reuse by the oil and gas industry. In addition, Ridgeline will share water and oil recovery sales with Kerr. The agreement with Kerr marks a major step forward for Ridgeline into the business of treating water for resale in the oil industry.
Ridgeline currently operates another nearby facility treating produced and flowback water outside Jal, New Mexico as well as a water treatment facility in Santa Fe Springs California. The Santa Fe Springs facility currently treats industrial waste water, produced water, and flowback water from surrounding oil wells. The business model for the new Kerr Energy facilities will be the same as at Santa Fe Springs. Waste water from multiple clients will be delivered to these facilities for treatment and resale or disposal.
"This new contract will initially setup expansion just 50 miles south of our current facility in New Mexico, and grows our company's presence further south and west in Texas. This growth fits perfectly, and allows us to concentrate expansion geographically." stated Dennis M Danzik, developer of Ridgeline's water treatment technology.
Hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into productive formations which stimulate production by creating pathways for oil and gas to escape into the wellbore. A large portion of this water returns to the surface as a by-product or waste stream and must be disposed of properly into a designated facility or treated for beneficial reuse.
Kerr Energy, based in Fort Worth, TX, was formed in 2007 by three veterans of the oil and gas industry. Jim and Mike Martin (with over 30 years' experience in the industry) along with Ian Kerr were active in the Barnett Shale and Permian Basin in the areas of leasehold acquisition, royalty, and working interest offerings. In late 2010, Kerr Energy recognized the high demand of water utility in the west Texas arena. As such, they embarked on an initial build of five fresh water locations within the Midland/Odessa area and west towards Barstow, TX. With a clear view of the current and progressive scarcity and value of water in the region, Kerr was pleased to find that Ridgeline Water Inc. has a technology that has arrived right on time for this situation. Kerr believes Ridgeline is the best partner to progress the services of disposal, fresh water production, and oil recovery. Kerr Energy currently operates five water stations in western Texas, and plans expansion to more than a dozen in 2012.
"Our research and work with Ridgeline over the last several months has proven to our organization that Ridgeline offered the best technology and manufactured equipment to perform and survive in the rigorous oil field environment.", stated Ian Kerr, Kerr Energy CEO. Mr. Kerr also stated, "Our current group of western Texas based water supply operations will now be expanded to include treatment and disposal. It is our plan to recycle up to 80% of the waste water returned. As the year progresses, the plans are to add water treatment to an existing facility every two to four months, depending on volume, contracts, and obtaining the required operating permits."
"To our knowledge, this is the largest water reclamation, and recycling effort for the oil and gas industry in west Texas. Ridgeline is working to build similar relationships with water suppliers in other strategic areas of Texas and New Mexico. Opening our technology to additional revenues from oil recovery, and water supply is now an important part of our business opportunity and strategic plan. This development for us is a result of the mounting need for waste water recycling and we look forward to much growth in this direction" stated Tony Ker, Ridgeline CEO.
PROSPECTUSOFFERING
In addition, Ridgeline is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement with Mackie Research Capital Corporation (as sole book runner and co-lead underwriter) whereby Mackie Research Capital Corporation and National Bank Financial Inc. (as co-lead underwriter) along with a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters") will conduct an overnight marketed offering of common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of $0.70 (the " Offering Price ") per Common Share, for gross proceeds of up to approximately $10 million (the "Offering" ). Pursuant to the Offering, the Underwriters have agreed to underwrite 2,857,000 Common Shares at the Offering Price equaling proceeds of approximately $2 million of the gross proceeds of the Offering.

The Common Shares will be offered by way of a short-form prospectus to be filed in such provinces of Canada (except Quebec), where the Common Shares are sold, pursuant to National Instrument 44-101 - Short Form Prospectus Distributions and in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Offering is scheduled to close on or about the week of June 4 th, 2012 or as otherwise determined by the Company and Underwriters and is subject to certain customary conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The net proceeds received by the Company from the Offering will be used for commercialization, acquisitions, development, and working capital.
In consideration for their services, the Underwriters will receive a cash commission of 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and compensation options exercisable any time at the Offering Price for up to 24 months from Closing to purchase an amount of Common Shares equal to 7.0% of the number of Common Shares sold pursuant to the Offering, including the amount subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, where any such exercise occurs.

Oil and Gas Stock News Alert; OriginOil (OTCBB: OOIL)Trades Up 22% on News of entering Frac Water/ Produced Water Market

New York NY- May 9 , 2012 – Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including water stocks and energy stocks issues a news and trading alert for OriginOil, Inc. (OTCBB: OOIL), trading up at $1.74 0.32(22.54%) 2:25PM EDT, following news of entering the frac water and produced water treatment market.

OriginOil, Inc. (OTCBB: OOIL), developer of a breakthrough technology to convert algae into renewable crude oil, announced today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with California-based PACE to collaborate with oil field operators in Texas and elsewhere to improve petroleum recovery and water cleaning for re-use at well sites, using a process it originally developed for algae harvesting.

“The performance we’ve seen from OriginOil’s technology is unheard-of in the industry. Removing 98% of organics from a sample of Texas frac flowback water is beyond impressive,” said Andrew Komor, vice president for environmental water at PACE. “This is the next step, where we get a chance to see that performance in the field. The OriginOil team has been highly responsive and we expect this to be a successful program.”

Subject to definitive agreement, OriginOil plans to provide the equipment and capability to process up to one barrel per minute in continuous flow. Success at this scale would set the stage for a ten-fold increase and beyond.

In keeping with its licensing strategy in algae, oil and gas, and waste removal markets, the memorandum provides that OriginOil may choose to be paid for the equipment and receive a small royalty, or to cover its own costs in return for a larger share of profits.

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."
