Oil and Gas Stock News; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Updates Horizontal Drilling Progress at North Oklahoma Project

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � May 25, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") today wishes to update the drilling progress of the NOM1H Horizontal well at the Company's North Oklahoma Project.
Directional drilling has now commenced. The K.O.P. (kick off point) has been reached, and the well is now entering the curved section of the hole. The well plan calls for approximately 1,600 feet of lateral to be drilled in the Mississippi formation before reaching a total depth of about 5,300 feet, with a true vertical depth of about 3,900 feet.
The NOM1H well is the first of a planned series of horizontal wells designed to test and develop oil and gas in the 100 foot thick limestone Mississippi Formation. Once the lateral portion reaches its engineered length, a period of testing and evaluation will commence.
In related news, a neighboring major independent oil company has received a permit to proceed with the drilling of its first horizontal test of the Woodford Shale in Payne County. This nearby well is engineered for a total depth of 9,177 feet with a true vertical depth of 4,300 feet. As American Petro-Hunter is planning a horizontal well into the Woodford Shale as part of our 2011 development program, the results of this neighboring well will prove instrumental towards the timing of our first horizontal efforts in the formation.
Company President Robert McIntosh states, "The lateral turn of the drill into the horizontal phase means we are now entering the objective pay zone in the Mississippi Formation. Over the next week, drilling operations will be closely monitored by the directional drilling engineer to ensure we stay in the Mississippi for the duration of the operation. The upcoming testing phase is a critical step in the determination of our next well as we gear up for a very busy summer of drilling."
About American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH)
The Company is a goal-oriented exploration and production (E&P) Company aiming to become an intermediate level oil and gas producer within 12 months. The Company is in production at the Poston Project in Trego County Kansas with new drilling activity and production underway at the North Oklahoma Oil Project. With the achievable target of becoming a 1000 BOE producer as our goal, American Petro-Hunter is actively on the "hunt" for domestic petroleum assets. Visit us at: www.americanpetrohunter.com

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."

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.

Oil and Gas Stocks News; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Begins Multi-Stage Surge Frack at North Oklahoma Project

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � May 4, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") announced today the commencement of a "multi-stage surge frack" regarded as the final event in the completion process at the NOS227 well prior to the onset of commercial oil production.
The fracture stimulation ("frack") program is a newly designed approach intended to break apart the reservoir allowing for a significant increase in the flow of oil. The process has proven to be highly effective in dramatically increasing production from the Mississippi formation elsewhere in the area. Currently, all requisite equipment has arrived onsite and efforts have commenced.
As previously reported, analogous vertical wells located nearby and to the north of NOS227 and having undergone an identical stimulation program have paid out in less than 90 days. The new completion technologies offer the potential to deliver vastly higher production through the use of the latest enhanced reservoir stimulation technologies. The "multi-stage surge frack" is a proven advanced technology that has delivered excellent results regionally and was chosen as the approach presenting the best potential yield results given the geology of the location. The frack of the well will stimulate 85 feet of the pay in the Mississippi Formation and American Petro-Hunter has targeted an initial production rate (I.P.R.) post-frack of 300 BPOD.
American Petro-Hunter has a 50% interest in the well and production from NOS227 will be sold alongside output from the No. 1 and NOJ26 wells to Sunoco, the regional purchaser. West Texas Intermediate Crude today has recently been priced at $112 per barrel and continues to rise based on instability in the Middle East.

CALGARY, ALBERTA - May 2, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy stocks newswire) � Aroway Minerals Inc. (TSX-V:ARW; PINK:ARWJF) (www.arowayenergy.com) (the "Company") - The Company is pleased to announce the following update on its operations in the Peace River Arch area of Alberta.
The company's first well of the 2011 exploration program has been drilled, completed and tested and will begin producing from the Leduc formation in approximately three weeks. Production tie-in operations on this well were suspended as a result of "spring break-up" weather conditions commonly experienced at this time of the year in the area. The tie in construction will immediately commence once "spring break-up" has come to an end. The company is pleased to report that the regulatory approvals are all in place and the equipment, pipe and crews are prepared. Testing on the Company's second well of the 2011 drill program will also continue when road bans in the area are lifted and results will be released at that time.
Chris Cooper, President commented, "Spring Break-up puts our industry at an operations standstill for a month or so each year. We look forward to continued positive results when operations begin again in a couple of weeks."
Upon completion of the tie-in to its joint venture partner's pipeline and facilities, stabilized production numbers for this first well of the 2011 drill program will be released.
These are the first two of a possible six to eight wells planned for the joint venture partnership's 2011 drill program. All of the planned exploration and/or development wells to be drilled are defined by 3-D seismic, have multi-zone prospectivity and are close to infrastructure.
About Aroway Energy Inc.
Aroway Energy Inc. is a Western Canadian junior oil and gas production and exploration company participating in "non-operated" Peace River Arch oil and gas exploration prospects, through a joint venture partnership.

Oil and Gas Stocks News; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Announces New Oil Well NOS122 to Go Into Immediate Commercial Production

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � May 2, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") is very pleased to announce the latest producing oil well in an ongoing series of wells at the North Oklahoma Yale Prospect. The well has been designated as NOS122 and has been swab tested and deemed ready for immediate commercial production.
The NOS122 is a re-entry project where the well bore and casing was opened and then cleaned, with tests resulting in high gravity oil swabbed at a final rate of 5 barrels per hour or the equivalent of 120 barrels per day at 2,700 feet. The testing showed 100% oil cut with no water from 6 feet of sand within the Skinner Formation.
The Skinner is an historic "over producer" of oil. An analog well to the north produced an I.P.R. (Initial Production Rate) of 700 barrels per day and cumulatively produced 80,000 barrels from a 3 foot sand thickness. The NOS122 shows a 6 foot interval and the Company has hopes that rates will exceed the 120 BPOD test rate.
American Petro-Hunter and partner, each with 50% working interests, are moving quickly to install a pump jack, tubing in the well and hook-up to a tank battery. Commercial sales are scheduled to begin immediately upon completion of the equipment installation.
The Skinner zone is a new addition to the Woodford and Mississippi formations already in production at the projects 3 other commercial wells and the related geology of the leases is under analysis to incorporate any and all Skinner potential to existing data. The NOS122 is on a 160 lease block with 3 additional offset locations possible.
In related news at the NOS227 well site, the "multi-stage surge frack," designed by the engineering team to be implemented by Basic Well Services of Cushing, Oklahoma is set for May 4th. Management believes the frack will result in oil production at NOS227with an Initial Production Rate ("IPR") of 300 barrels of oil per day (BOPD). The Company will update progress of the frack as soon as activities warrant, on or shortly after May 4th.
Company President and C.E.O. Robert McIntosh states, "The new NOS122 Skinner Well is a great addition to our growing production in Oklahoma and will be producing soon at very little cost to the Company. The fact that the Skinner is oil with associated gas and with no water to dispose of makes the well extremely profitable with virtually immediate payback to our investment."
