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)

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.

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.

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.

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. 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 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.
