Oil and Gas News; TAG Oil Begins Drilling Sidewinder-2: First in Series for New Discovery

Vancouver, B.C. - February 2, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire)- Canadian listed, New Zealand oil and gas producer TAG Oil Ltd. (TSX-V: TAO), announced that the Sidewinder-2 well is scheduled to begin drilling operations on February 7, 2011.
This is the first of several appraisal and exploration wells to be drilled in the 7910-acre (12 section), 100% TAG-controlled Petroleum Exploration Permit 38748 ("PEP 38748") in New Zealand's Taranaki Basin.
Following the success of the gas-rich Sidewinder-1 discovery, the Sidewinder-2 and 3 wells will be drilled to a depth of approximately 2400 meters, targeting the same Mt. Messenger Formation play level as Sidewinder-1. However, these wells will be drilled in a slightly downdip location to intersect an interpreted "oil leg" associated with this proven accumulation.
TAG also announces its plans to conduct a multi-well, high-impact exploration campaign in PEP 38748 targeting a number of Mt. Messenger prospects similar to Sidewinder, that have been identified permit-wide by 3D seismic.
Any successes arising from additional discoveries in PEP 38748 or additional Sidewinder production wells will be immediately tied into the Sidewinder Production Station. Currently under construction, TAG forecasts completion of the new facility by mid-2011.
Production from the existing Sidewinder-1 well, forecast to produce at rates of 8 to 10 million cubic feet of gas (1300 to 1600 barrels of oil equivalent) per day, will be brought on stream upon completion of the Sidewinder Production Station.
Investorideas.com Energy Newswire Please see http://tagoil.com/20101103-TAG-Oil-Announces-Strong-Results-at-Sidewinder-1-Flow-T.asp for more information on the Sidewinder-1 discovery.
TAG Oil Ltd.
TAG Oil Ltd. is a Canadian-listed company (TSX-V: TAO) with operations in New Zealand. With 100% control of its core assets, including oil and gas production infrastructure, TAG is anticipating production growth through development of multiple oil and gas discoveries in the Taranaki Basin. TAG is also targeting high-impact drilling opportunities on numerous exploration prospects identified over 3,500 sections of land onshore.
In the East Coast Basin, TAG is pursuing the major unconventional resource potential that has been demonstrated in the Waipawa Black Shale and Whangai Shale source-rock formations. These oil-rich, naturally fractured formations compare favorably to fractured shale formations such as the Bakken Shale in the Williston Basin.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � January 24, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") today is pleased to provide an update on the status of the No. 1 Well at the Company's North Oklahoma Project.
The No. 1 Well, the first well drilled by the Company in Oklahoma, is in production from the Woodford Shale and has completed its inaugural December sales shipment of 850 barrels to Sunoco Inc., the contracted purchaser. The No. 1 Well, located on one of the Company's 7 lease blocks covering thick sections of Woodford Shale has shown steady daily rates of 14 BPD from 40 feet of shale. The vertical test confirmed the Woodford as productive for oil and gas and is now being engineered as a potential horizontal drilling target with a 2,000 foot lateral under consideration.
Light Oklahoma sweet crude, quoted on Jan. 20th by Sunoco was $85.25. In a scenario similar to the previously announced NOJ26 gas production, the No. 1 is being connected for natural gas sales with plans to deliver the associated gas for sale and daily operational use at the project.

Oil and Gas Stocks; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Newsletter from President Available to Energy Investors

Point Roberts, WA – January 21, 2011 - The Investorideas.com Energy Newswire makes  the recent Newsletter and Message from Robert McIntosh, the President of  American Petro-Hunter Inc (OTCBB: AAPH ) available to oil and gas investors.


Research AAPH.OB Today!  www.aaphreport.com

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

The New Year is fully upon us and I am enthusiastic regarding the prospects for the Company. Given the steadily increasing price of oil to over $90 a barrel we have seen an eruption of activity in the area neighboring our flagship North Oklahoma Project. We view the current price of crude and the quality of the Woodford Shale play coming together as a driving force that should make 2011 our best year to date.
Domestic shale energy plays have become so plentiful that it is difficult to think of them as unconventional anymore. Shale formations such as the Bakken, Fayetteville, Marcellus, Barnett and others have become household names in the oil and gas industry and now Woodford Shale drilling activity has skyrocketed since Devon Energy drilled its first wells in 2005.

American Petro-Hunter is right in the thick of the activity as the Woodford has emerged as one of the Lower 48’s biggest producers, ranking second nationwide in gas production and fifth in oil production. Oklahoma has some 90,000 wells and is home to major independent producers like Devon Energy, Chesapeake Sandridge, Petrohawk Energy, Southwestern Energy, Marathon Oil, Newfield Exploration and Continental Resources. The Woodford has seen 1,200 wells drilled in the past 7 years with production of over 1.4 million barrels of oil and 560 billion cubic feet (Bcf) gas.

With our NOJ26 oil well going on pump as of December 23rd, we were very pleased to add the output from our 2nd commercial producer at the North Oklahoma Project. Now, planning for 2011 is full speed ahead as offset location targeting and engineering are complete for our next vertical well designated NOS227. The new well is planned for a depth of 4,000 feet and is a direct offset to the NOJ26 location thereby taking advantage of favorable oil producing geological trend up dip and to the west of where the productive Woodford and Mississippi Formations are the primary objective.

As our project evolves and continues to grow, the next step in the continued development of the Company-held leased lands will be the drilling of horizontal wells designed to properly exploit the thick, Woodford Shale targets in the area. The cost of a completed horizontal with a 2,000 foot lateral is estimated at $1.75 million - but the payout, if production of 500 barrels (or more) per day is achieved, would equate to a very rapid return on investment and provide immediate, significant cash flow.

As reported last year, the southern part of our lease block has room to drill up to 5 horizontals and also up to 25 conventional vertical wells, so we have ample targets to exploit throughout 2011. With one more vertical well planned prior to drilling our first horizontal, not only revenues, but valuable information and knowledge of the underlying geology and nature of the Woodford will be obtained, ultimately leading to a much greater probability of future successes within this reservoir which currently offers literally untapped potential.

At the same time, news is emerging regarding competitors in the immediate area of our leased land positions that are planning to commence the drilling of a horizontal funded by a major oil company. As information on this project becomes available, we will closely follow their activity and watch for results as we commence drilling our vertical offset well. This nearby project will be the first Woodford Shale horizontal drilled in this part of Payne County and we hope that ours will be the second.

All of our previously stated short term and intermediate goals for strategic production levels can easily be met through the diligent development of the Woodford Shale play alone. If the explosion of activity at other shale basins like the Bakken and Barnett are any indication, we are going to see a frenzy of activity in 2011 and we are happy to be a big part of the shift in industry mindset to “Shale Oil, the NEW American conventional oil!’
