In a recent Q&A Kim Bradford, President and CEO of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. shares insight on the Mississippian Formation;
"There are more than a dozen that I could name offhand. What is interesting is that in almost every case, it is Oklahoma based companies that are in this play. Ranging from very long term privately owned Oklahoma drillers such as Nadel & Gussman and Ceja, which date back to the 20's and 30's to Eagle Energy which was founded in 2009, all are finding success in the Horizontal Miss. The publicly traded companies such as Chesapeake Energy, Devon Energy, SandRidge Energy, and Range Resources with a combined market cap of almost $70 billion lend a tremendous amount of credence to the play by their very presence. It is fair to say that at least in SandRidge Energy's case, its commitment to the Oklahoma Mississippian play has totally transformed the company from a lackluster natural gas focused producer to one of the most dynamic mid sized oil companies in the market today, with a stock price performance to match that transformation going from $4 less than a year ago to roughly $12 today. If you go to their website, and you should, it is obvious that they largely credit the Horizontal Miss for that transformation.
The attribute that all the Horizontal Miss players seem to have, beyond the fact that they are almost unanimously Oklahoma companies with detailed local knowledge, is that they have been largely driven by people of conviction, ranging from most notably Tom Ward at SandRidge Energy to Loren Schmidt at Calyx, Charles Wickstrom and Shane Matson at Spyglass Energy, as well as Osage's own Greg Franklin, and many others. While the Mississippian formation has been known for decades, it took the ability to re-evaluate without prejudice, and move forward with conviction that the Mississippian could be an ideal candidate for horizontal exploitation.
Because the Mississippian is present in so many counties in Oklahoma, each of the companies involved are making unique contributions to the knowledge base. As an example, Pablo Energy and Eagle Energy of Oklahoma are in completely different areas of Oklahoma, use completely different drilling and completion techniques, but are helping us all to advance our knowledge and build efficiencies. Oklahoma is a fantastic place todrill for oil and these are fantastic people and companies to be working along beside.”

Energy Stock Q&A Interview with Kim Bradford, President and CEO of Osage (OTCBB: OEDV)

Point Roberts, WA - June 7 , 2011 (Investorideas.com Energy Newswire) - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in sector research including energy stocks, features a recent interview with Kim Bradford, President and CEO of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. (OTCBB: OEDV), following their news of the joint venture with Slawson Exploration Company, Inc. and U.S. Energy Development Corporation. Mr. Bradford discusses Osage's partners, reserves and potential for the Nemaha Ridge Project in Oklahoma.

Interview Excerpt:
Q: Investorideas.com
The Company just announced it closed an agreement whereby Slawson Exploration Company, Inc. and U.S. Energy Development Corporation have acquired 45% and 30% respectively of Osage's Nemaha Ridge project in Oklahoma for gross consideration of $4,875,000.00 plus a 10% net carry on the first three horizontal Mississippian wells. Can you discuss the significance of the partners and what role they play moving forward?
A: Kim Bradford, President and CEO of Osage Exploration and Development, Inc.
Yes I can. Large oil companies have departments full of people and those people tend to be interchangeable in any given situation. Because we are not a large oil company, the individuality of the partners becomes paramount in determining how we go forward. In our situation, the Principals of each company come together and make decisions. The fact that Slawson and USEDC have done many deals together over the years, and the fact that Osage's VP Exploration, Greg Franklin, has known Steve Slawson for over 20 years means that from day one this partnership has a culture of trust and long term respect for each other. This is essential for success because in creating this financial partnership we have also created the Operating team. In this project there are no passive partners, we all bring a level of expertise in the various functional areas necessary to drill and exploit this resource. We are all rallying behind our Operator, Slawson, to provide leadership, but Slawson has selectively asked each of us to perform certain tasks along the way. From Osage's perspective, we have gained a tremendous amount of engineering expertise that we simply did not have. We have gained access to two superbly experienced land teams to complement the work that we have done already. Perhaps most importantly, Slawson as a driller owns rigs that we may elect to use in our project. The value of that can not be understated because as the Horizontal Miss play continues to heat up, it is pretty easy to forecast equipment shortages, and we have the solution already in place. This is a superb team with an abundance of talent, expertise, equipment and experience in horizontal drilling.

Oil and Gas Stocks News; American Petro-Hunter's (OTCBB: AAPH) North Oklahoma NOS122 Oil Well in Production

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � June 6, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") is very pleased to report that the recently completed NOS122 well is undergoing production testing and appears to be a strong producer and is outperforming expectations to date.

The NOS122 well is located at the Company's North Oklahoma Project. The production test and evaluation phase has been ongoing over the past few weeks with high gravity light oil produced to the storage tank from a 6 foot pay zone. The oil cut has been steadily over 90% with some associated gas. The well has been producing oil at rates in a broad range generally between 50 and 70 barrels per day.
Although a stable daily production rate hasn't yet been established, the Company has been informed by the operator that the pay zone would benefit from a light fracture stimulation which would in all likelihood allow a significant increase in daily rates. The partners are now preparing a simple frack plan that will be implemented in the upcoming days.
The establishment of a full tank battery and ancillary production facilities is in the final stages of construction on the lease. Currently, oil in the onsite storage tank is being prepared for sale to the local purchaser and inaugural sales are expected shortly. As reported earlier, the partners have identified a minimum of 3 additional offsets to the NOS122 for future development.
Company President Robert McIntosh states, "We are very pleased at the early test results at NOS122 and to be producing oil at levels that have exceeded our expectations. The plan to stimulate the reservoir and bring on even more oil, as well as our intent to drill additional wells very shortly, is rapidly moving this leasehold into becoming a key component of our growing production portfolio."
American Petro-Hunter has a 50% working interest in the NOS122 and oil is sold to Sunoco, the regional purchaser.
About American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH)

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. Full news:http://www.investorideas.com/CO/AAPH/news/2011/05251.asp
In a previously published Investorideas.com interview, Robert McIntosh, President & C.E.O. of American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH) notes, "Shale plays for oil and gas are the new technology of the industry. Advancements in direction drilling and secondary recovery allow us to drill along these shales-they have oil it’s been found and is more of an engineering issue to extract it, like oil sands. So we will have known predictable oil and not have to "wildcat" hoping to discover oil. The Bakken is 200 feet thick and is worth billions to the companies involved. Our Oklahoma shale is new and we are on the cutting edge of drilling leasing and production. And the majors are there-Devon (NYSE: DVN ), Chesapeake, (NYSE: CHK ), Newfield (NYSE: NFX ) and others now producing gas from the Woodford shale in the south of the State.”
