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."

Osage (OTCBB: OEDV), PetroQuest (NYSE:PQ), SandRidge (NYSE: SD), Chesapeake (NYSE: CHK); Mississippian Formation Play Heats Up

Point Roberts, WA - October 19, 2011 - Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including oil and gas stocks releases the following interview excerpt with Kim Bradford, President and CEO of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. (OTCBB: OEDV) discussing the Oklahoma horizontal Mississippian play and some of the larger public companies in the play.

Interview Excerpt
Q: Investorideas.com
The Mississippian formation play is heating up in terms of new entrants. Recently PetroQuest Energy (NYSE:PQ) announced they had closed its Mississippian Lime acquisition of 28,250 acres for an adjusted purchase price of $24,100,000. Can you share with investors what you are seeing in terms of growing interest from the majors and why?
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.

Kim Bradford, President and CEO of Osage (OTCBB: OEDV) Discusses the Company's Net Acreage Expansion and How the Mississippian Formation Play is Heating Up

Point Roberts, WA - October 18, 2011- Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including oil and gas stocks, issues a recent exclusive interview with Kim Bradford, President and CEO of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. (OTCBB: OEDV) discussing the Company's recent expansion to 15,000 net acres in the Nemaha Ridge, Oklahoma horizontal Mississippian play.

Interview
Q: Investorideas.com
Kim, since the Company announced its joint venture with Slawson Exploration Company, Inc. and U.S. Energy Development Corporation back in May, your net acreage has grown from 10,000 to 15,000 net acres. Can you share with investors how a small company's strategy and approach to purchasing smaller acreage packages can work to your benefit and ultimately the shareholders?
A: Kim Bradford, President and CEO of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc.
That is a very good question, the answer has to do with the relative impact an acquisition can make to a given Company. Simply stated, if a very large oil and gas company had acquired 10,000 acres in the horizontal Mississippian play, it would probably be so small relative to their asset base that the acquisition would be virtually meaningless in the investment thesis for that large company. In our case, this acquisition is huge relative to our size, therefore success in this project could propel our equity value and stock price many times their current levels. Keep in mind, for Osage this is probably a five year project of drilling and development with a corresponding five year period of growth in production and reserves. In other words, the performance of Osage is very leveraged to this project, where in another larger company it might not be. Likewise, our ability to continue to expand the project displays a similar characteristic. In the parallel example above, to a large company acquiring an additional 5000 acres would be just as meaningless as the first 10,000 acres. In Osage's case however, this represents a full 50% increase over what we had acquired just a few months earlier, and nearly a 50% growth in the size of the asset base of the Company in a very short time which is extremely significant to our investment thesis.
Q: Investorideas.com
The Mississippian formation play is heating up in terms of new entrants. Recently PetroQuest Energy (NYSE:PQ ) announced they had closed its Mississippian Lime acquisition of 28,250 acres for an adjusted purchase price of $24,100,000. Can you share with investors what you are seeing in terms of growing interest from the majors and why?
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, Chesapeake Energy Corporation, Devon Energy Corporation, Range Resources, Continental Resources, as well as many privately owned Oklahoma based companies are involved in the play. PetroQuest joins the growing list of non-Oklahoma based companies acquiring horizontal Mississippian projects.

Strategically, the bigger oil companies cannot afford to miss a domestic opportunity with great economics, unless it is truly 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.
Q: Investorideas.com
Kim in your last press release you said the Company was on track to begin drilling by the end of the year. Can you give investors a short outline of the process?
A: Kim Bradford, President and CEO of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc.
Our Operator, Slawson Exploration has direct responsibility for all activities on the ground when it comes to drilling, which is a very good thing for the Osage shareholder. Slawson has drilled thousands of wells in their history and are highly regarded for their efficiency and success rate. In Oklahoma, as in other places, there are many governmental, bureaucratic processes that must be completed before drilling can begin. Those initiatives are well advanced and conform to the time schedule that we have laid out. The rig has been contracted, and there are really no barriers to us to get our wells started this year, we are definitely on target.
Q: Investorideas.com
The Mississippian has a successful vertical history, which has resulted in a superior drilling success rate as horizontal play, with a record of no dry holes. As a junior oil and gas Company, what does that represent in terms of risk/reward potential for investors?
A: Kim Bradford, President and CEO of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc.
When I first started investing in oil and gas in the 1970's, a dry hole was probably the most relevant risk, and certainly the one that could cause you to lose all your money quickly. In the horizontal Mississippian play, the formula that all the successful companies are employing virtually guarantees that a dry hole is a highly unlikely outcome. That formula is simply to go to an area that has produced vertically out the Mississippian formation, and then proceed to drill horizontally in that place. When you do that, you are drilling into a formation that you know from the vertical well results is productive. Because historically in Oklahoma the vertical Mississippian wells that have been drilled were not highly fracture stimulated, in many cases not stimulated at all, those vertical wells did not drain the reservoir efficiently. So what we are doing is going into a reservoir that we know produces oil then utilizing horizontal wellbores to increase the amount of exposure to that known productive reservoir, and finally using the most advanced stage fracturing process to maximize recovery from that known-productive reservoir. Given the industry's experience in utilizing these techniques, it is not a surprise that we have not had a single dry hole out of the first 300 horizontal wells drilled in the horizontal Mississippian, nor do we expect any.
Q: Investorideas.com
Based on recent developments and without disclosing anything out of the public domain, can you share with us your strategy for growing the Company over the next year?
A: Kim Bradford, President and CEO of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc.
It is fair to say that our focus is on developing our potentially huge Nemaha Ridge Mississippian project in conjunction with our partners, Slawson Exploration and US Energy Development Corporation. That said, we are a grassroots exploration company by choice because that is how we can create the most leverage and highest returns for our shareholders. We will continue to try and develop additional onshore US projects similar to our Nemaha Ridge project which can be truly transformative for our Company.

Red Fork Energy Limited (ASX: RFE) News; Wire-line Log Results Confirm Very Large Reservoir Tahara #1-28H Well, Pawnee County, Oklahoma

October 6, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Oklahoma based (Australian Securities Exchange listed) oil and gas exploration and production company, Red Fork Energy Limited (ASX: RFE) ("Red Fork" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following summary of the results of the comprehensive wire-line logging operations conducted on its first long lateral in the Mississippi Lime formation in Pawnee County, Oklahoma.
The Company engaged Schlumberger to run and analyze a full suite of open hole logs, including Triple Combo (with ELAN analysis), FMI and Sonic logs of the full length of the lateral in the recently drilled, cased and cemented Tahara #1-28H well.

Based on the analysis of data from these logging operations Schlumberger have provided estimates of OOIP place, identifying 58.4mmbo per square mile (640 acre section) or 109.26 barrels of oil per acre foot.
The Company expects that this OOIP result will deliver a very large increase in recoverable reserves per square mile (640 acres section). Using a conservative recovery factor the recoverable reserves per section could be as much as three times the current reported industry average. In addition to the OOIP, the Company expects to recover additional associated (high BTU) gas based on a factor of between 3mcf and 5mcf per barrel
Importantly, analysis of the logs identified approximately 835 feet of oil filled fractures encountered in interbedded Mississippi Limestone and chert throughout the length of the lateral. The lateral was generally positioned in the center of the Mississippi Limestone formation in an area of interbedded limestone and chert intervals, with cuttings typically showing a percentage of both limestone and chert.
Work to finalize the perforation and reservoir stimulation plan is now underway and data from this comprehensive logging operation will be incorporated in the final design of the completion plan as the well is prepared for production. Gas and water lines are being extended to existing sales and disposal infrastructure to service this well and the Abunda #1-21H well that is currently being drilled from this twin well location.
Commenting on this release, Red Fork Managing Director, David Prentice, said, "We are very pleased that this analysis of data from our first long lateral in the Mississippi in Pawnee County has delivered these very significant estimates of oil in place."
"This is a strong endorsement of the methodologies we used in the selection of our acreage in this exciting play in Oklahoma and we are looking forward to continuing our efforts in securing additional infill select high-grade acres in the play and progressing our 2011 horizontal drilling program."
Yours faithfully
David Prentice
Managing Director

Energy News: Telkonet (OTCBB: TKOI), Selected to Install Energy Management Platform at Prestigious Military Academy

September 26, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - Telkonet, Inc. (OTCBB: TKOI.OB), developer of the EcoSmart energy management platform, announced today that a prestigious United States military academy is the latest military institution to deploy its innovative network-enabled energy-saving technology.

As a technology provider for one of the nation's premier energy service companies, Telkonet was awarded a contract for $226,000 to provide the SmartEnergy platform in academy residence halls.
Jason Tienor, Telkonet CEO, said, "We're excited to continue demonstrating the substantial energy savings that Telkonet's SmartEnergy Suite can provide in residence hall applications. This particular deployment displays the flexibility of our field services division as well as the design flexibility of our technology. We're honored to have been selected for this project and look forward to working with the academy."
Telkonet will install a network-enabled SmartEnergy energy management system, including intelligent networked thermostats, occupancy sensors, and door contacts. An integral component of the solution is the online management platform, which will allow the military academy to monitor and control each in-room HVAC system remotely. The SmartEnergy system, which employs Telkonet's patented Recovery TimeTM technology, will optimize energy savings in unoccupied rooms while also ensuring that the thousands of cadets attending the academy stay comfortable when occupying their rooms.
To date, academy administrators have been unable to avoid excessive heating and cooling of unoccupied residence halls. The SmartEnergy system will improve local control and give the property management team the capability to monitor the health and efficiency of the HVAC systems themselves while minimizing energy consumption.
For almost two decades, the energy service company responsible for enabling energy efficiency upgrades at the military academy has collaborated with customers to deliver energy savings through comprehensive and cost-effective efficiency and infrastructure services. Telkonet has had the privilege of serving this ESCO on several other military installations and is participating in project development on several additional opportunities.
"We're pleased to have been selected to perform this upgrade as part of our strategic partnership. We're also confident the cadets will appreciate the comfort improvements and the Academy will find enormous value in the reduced energy and maintenance cost," Tienor said.
Both the energy service company and the military academy have built their foundations on the principles of excellence and integrity, and Telkonet is proud to have been chosen as a vendor partner for this efficiency improvement project.

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

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � September 20, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") today is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling at the NOW-2H horizontal oil well at the Company's North Oklahoma Mississippi Project.

Drilling should take between 15-18 days to reach total depth (T.D.), after which the Company confidently anticipates a rapid program to complete the well. The current objective is to have the NOW-2H pumping to the existing tank battery and gas pipeline by the end of October.
Company President Robert McIntosh states, "The NOW2-H well is the second of 11 wells to be drilled in the flourishing North Oklahoma Mississippi Lime Play which is rapidly becoming one of the premier oilfields in the country. With literally 100s of horizontal wells drilled and already producing, reservoir development in this region of the mid-continent is moving forward and creating news virtually every day." Mr. McIntosh continues, "American Petro-Hunter enjoys an enviable position with access to some of the best leases in the entire play and the Company is committed to an aggressive drilling schedule with plans to start a new well every 60 days so that we can maximize net production as quickly as possible."
