Oil and Gas Stocks News; EquityNet Research Initiates Analyst Coverage on American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH)

LOS ANGELES � May 23, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - EquityNet Research, an independent West Coast equity research firm based in Los Angeles, announced today that it has initiated research coverage on American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH).

A full copy of the report and disclosure requirements are available at EquityNet Research's website: www.equitynet.net.
American Petro-Hunter, Inc. is an emerging junior oil exploration and production (E&P) company that is actively seeking to capitalize on burgeoning demand and high oil prices by strategically acquiring and consolidating the operations of various properties (where possible), based on estimated reserves, ease of extraction and location.
Randy Lewis, CFA, Founder and Senior Analyst with EquityNet who is covering the Company, stated, "It is obvious that demand is and will remain very strong for oil into the foreseeable future and the market itself is huge. Valuations for most natural resource stocks have remained relatively strong and prices for the most part on the rise. Of course, oil prices have also skyrocketed this year. The late 2010 and early 2011 predictions of $80 a barrel this year have been blown out of the water, hitting nearly $127 a barrel at one point.
"Furthermore, it seems apparent that management enjoys strong relationships with various consultants, engineers and service providers in the regions in which it operates. We feel this could be a significant competitive advantage over similarly-sized peers."

Oil and Gas Stocks News Alert; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Commences Spud of Horizontal Well at North Oklahoma Project

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � May 18, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") today is pleased to announce the spud of the NOM1H Horizontal well at the Company's North Oklahoma Project. Drilling commenced yesterday with the setting of surface casing and the well is drilling ahead.

This is the Company's first horizontal well and is the inaugural well in a planned series of horizontal wells designed to exploit the 100-foot thick limestone known as the Mississippi Formation. The NOM1H well is expected to take several weeks to reach its engineered total depth, following which it will undergo a period of testing and evaluation.
As reported earlier, the Mississippi Formation has been the focus of intense drilling and development activity which has seen large numbers of horizontal wells drilled, completed and put into production by companies such as Sandridge and Calyx in recent months. Exploration and development activity in the area is extremely competitive and publically disclosed information regarding oil and gas production rates of ongoing and recently drilled horizontal wells is regarded as tightly held information. The Company will endeavor to update stakeholders on a timely basis with drilling results as such information becomes available from the operator.
Company President Robert McIntosh states, "With the spud of the NOM1H well, the Company has implemented what we hope to be the first of many horizontal oil wells that will exploit and develop our acreage at the North Oklahoma Project. Over the coming weeks, the potential of the well will dictate subsequent development and is a cornerstone to our overall strategic plans for the project."

Point Roberts WA - May 17, 2011 - www.Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specialized in sector research including oil and gas stocks, issues a sector close up on oil and gas shale stocks as the plays heat up. High oil prices have brought in more players into the shale stock plays. An estimated 160 oil and gas companies are now in the Bakken play.

• Brigham Exploration Company (NasdaqGS: BEXP ) 52 Week range of $13.45 - 37.87

North American Bakken Oil Field Play - covering parts of Montana, North Dakota, and Saskatchewan.
The USGS estimate of 3.0 to 4.3 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil in the Bakken Formation, and a mean estimate of 3.65 billion barrels, is an estimate of what industry may recover if the entire area of prospective Bakken Formation is produced using current technology. The current USGS mean estimate is a 25-fold increase over the previous USGS estimate, in 1995, of 151 million barrels of undiscovered technically recoverable oil in the Bakken Formation. As of August 2009, cumulative oil production from the Bakken Formation totaled about 190 million barrels (up from 164 million barrels in March 2009, 149 million barrels in December 2008 and 135 million barrels in September 2008).

Woodford Shale Emerging as a Leading Domestic Oil and Gas Play
Recent Commentary: Patrick J. Murphy, of Murphy Analytics LLC
Full article: http://www.investorideas.com/CO/AAPH/news/2011/03301.asp
As noted by American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) CEO Robert McIntosh in the Company's January 2011 Corporate Newsletter, production in the Woodford Shale has skyrocketed over the last few years. CEO McIntosh and others have referred to the Woodford as a world class oil and gas target, an assertion that seems justified given that the Woodford Shale now ranks second domestically in gas production and fifth in oil production. Following is data and commentary related to the operations and outlook for some of the Woodford Shale's most active players.
Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN): In a presentation₁ at the Oppenheimer Unconventional Oil and Gas Conference, DVN noted that its Woodford assets benefit from a low cost of entry at approximately $2,200 per acre and a low average royalty burden at approximately 21%. The Company also notes that it recently completed construction of a gas processing plant, and after drilling 87 wells in 2010, DVN plans to drill over 200 wells in the Cana-Woodford Shale in 2011. Discussing the Company's Q4 2010₂ earnings, CFO and Executive Vice President Jeffrey Agosta commented on DVN's interest in the shale:
"Moving to the Cana-Woodford Shale in Western Oklahoma, we continue to add to our acreage position during the fourth quarter and now have approximately 243,000 net acres. Devon is currently operating 23 out of the 39 rigs running play-wide."
Marathon Oil (NYSE: MRO): At a recent Credit Suisse conference, MRO noted its interest₃ in the Anadarko Woodford Shale play, with 3 rigs operating currently and 8 planned by the end of 2011. The company also observed that returns there are among the highest of domestic resource plays, and while exiting 2010 at approximately 1,500 BOED, MRO estimates that, by 2015, it could reach a peak rate of 30,000 BOED. In the Company's Q4 2010₄ conference call, Executive Vice President David Roberts noted that MRO plans to more than double its acreage in the area:
"Marathon also holds 86,000 acres in the Anadarko Woodford area, an area where we have operated for decades, and we have line in sight on new opportunity to increase that position to over 100,000 acres shortly. Importantly, we will have eight rigs in the play by 2011 by the end of this year."

Recent Oklahoma Oil and Gas Stocks News;
Devon Energy Earns $416 Million in First-Quarter 2011; North American Onshore Production Increases 7 Percent
OKLAHOMA CITY---- Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN - News) today reported net earnings of $416 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, or $0.97 per common share ($0.97 per diluted common share). This compares with first-quarter 2010 net earnings of $1.2 billion, or $2.67 per common share ($2.66 per diluted common share). The decrease in quarterly earnings is primarily attributable to non-cash, unrealized changes in the fair value of oil, gas and NGL derivatives.
First-quarter 2011 financial results were impacted by certain items securities analysts typically exclude from their published estimates. The most significant of the adjusting items was a non-cash, unrealized loss on oil, gas and NGL derivatives of $254 million before-tax ($166 million after-tax). Excluding these adjusting items, Devon earned $575 million or $1.34 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2011. The adjusting items are discussed in more detail later in this news release.
Production Growth Exceeds Guidance, Driven By Strong Liquids Growth
Production from continuing operations averaged 629,000 oil-equivalent barrels (Boe) per day in the first quarter of 2011, in spite of curtailments related to severe winter weather. Compared to the first quarter of 2010, Devon’s North American onshore production increased seven percent and exceeded the top-end of the company’s guidance by 4,000 barrels per day. First-quarter production benefited from better than expected results from several core properties, including the Cana-Woodford and Barnett Shale.

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

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � May 16, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") is very pleased to announce that drilling operations have commenced at the Company's newest well site on the North Oklahoma Project. Today, drilling equipment has been mobilized with preparations underway for the Company's first horizontal well, designated NOM1H.

NOM1H is scheduled to spud tomorrow and is the first of an anticipated series of horizontal wells designed to exploit the Mississippi Formation. The over 100-foot thick limestone is the central focus of the well documented recent drilling and leasing frenzy in Oklahoma. Hundreds of horizontal wells have been executed, planned and/or implemented by companies such as Sandridge and Calyx in recent months. Of particular note, Sandridge announced in its latest year end filing that it had drilled and completed 29 wells with 8 remaining to be completed in the area.
The NOM1H well is anticipated to take several weeks to reach its engineered total depth, following which it will undergo a period of testing and evaluation. With the high success rate of analog wells in the area American Petro-Hunter has great hopes for a successful producer in this highly sought after oil play.
As the activity in the area has become extremely competitive, and information regarding detailed production rates of commercial quantities of oil and natural gas is increasingly regarded as tightly held information, the Company will endeavor to update stakeholders on a timely basis with drilling results as such information becomes available from the operator.
Company President Robert McIntosh states, "We are extremely pleased to have begun our very first venture into the realm of horizontal well drilling. This venture offers us a possibility like no other, to immediately and significantly increase our oil production. The opportunity to be right in the heart of the hunt for 'big oil' in Oklahoma is an exciting step for the Company and we hope will prove to be beneficial for all concerned."

Oil and Gas News Alert; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Announces the Addition of Two New Wells on Pump

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � May 11, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") is very pleased to announce today that the Company has brought both of its newest wells on pump at two separate North Oklahoma Project locations.

Pump equipment has been successfully installed at the NOS122 well site and has begun a test phase. Prior to installation, the well "free-flowed" oil to the test tank. Previous swab tests resulted in high gravity oil of 100% oil cut with no water from 6 feet of pay. Initial test results look excellent and American Petro-Hunter is anticipating a strong producer.
The well will continue to be evaluated over a period of weeks in order to identify initial production rates and ultimately to determine stable production rates projected over time. The tank battery and full production facilities are under construction. The Company has a minimum of 3 additional offsets to the NOS122 for future development and site engineering has been designed to accommodate future production requirements.
The second location to go on pump this week was at the NOS227 well site. Following a "multi-stage surge frack," where multiple injections of liquefied frack sand "proppants" were forced under high pressure into the Mississippi pay zone, the stimulation process successfully fractured the limestone reservoir allowing for an anticipated increase in the flow of oil. In readiness for commercial production, the pumping unit, rods and tubing have already been installed at NOS227. Over the next 12-15 days the frack load will be pumped off allowing the oil to commence flowing freely.
American Petro-Hunter has a 50% interest in both wells and production from the NOS122 and NOS227 will be sold alongside output from the No. 1 and NOJ26 wells to Sunoco, the regional purchaser. The latest achievements will increase the Company's revenue advantage to 4 producing wells in Oklahoma and two in Kansas.
