American Petro-Hunter Completes #24-1 Double H Well -- Prepares for January Oil and Gas Production at Rooney, Kansas

2009-12-15 09:00 ET - News Release

SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/15/09

American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") is very pleased to announce that the completion program at the #24-1 Double H Oil Well on the Rooney Project is now finished and the well is being readied for full scale oil production.

The well was perforated and swabbed at hourly rates of oil flow in keeping with the Company's original estimates of over 200 barrels per day. The down-hole reservoir pressures have remained strong and steady producing excellent quality 44 degree oil which will sell at top dollar to oil purchasers in the area. Consequently, the Company believes that based on the completion results and recent seismic data, the find represents a significant discovery well in a new reservoir at Rooney.

Natural gas associated with the pay zone will necessitate the installation of a gas separator and hook-up to a gas pipeline located less than 1 mile away. Currently, the gas flow is estimated at between 70 to 80 MCF per day which will generate additional income from the well.

Rods are being positioned in the well and site preparations begin tomorrow for the construction of the tank battery, mounting of the pump-jack and installation of gas lines for hook up. The Company and operator plan to expedite all arrangements towards the commencement of full scale commercial oil and gas production currently slated for January 1, 2010.

The completion results confirm the projected Initial Production Rates (I.P.R.) with a possibility of exceeding those estimates. Final production rates will be based on the needs of the reservoir in order to maintain pressures and integrity. Daily production rates will be fully established once production has commenced and actual barrels of oil produced to the tanks are calculated.

About the Rooney Project:

The Rooney Project is located in southwestern Ford County, Kansas 20 miles due south of Dodge City and totals 5,120 acres adjacent to the north edge of existing Morrow Sand oil and gas production. The initial discovery well, #24-1 Double H is anticipated to begin production at rates over 200 barrels per day. After a review of the 3D seismic data in conjunction with the electronic logs, the potential barrels of oil associated well and oil pool is currently estimated at 500,000 barrels. The Company and partners have developed a minimum of 5 target locations to drill that could enable the Company to add 5 additional wells to its portfolio by the end of the third quarter of 2010. The operator of the project is S&W Oil & Gas, LLC of Wichita, Kansas.

Could this stock be a multi-bagger?

Who cares (of course we do don't we)? This stock has higher prices written all over it if - and I mean if - they can deliver on the steady increases in revenue indicated on their website. But this is tradable over the term one's planned investment (always have an exit point, always).

As always investors should do their own research My opinion is bullish short medium and long term here and is summed up below in my sketch of the basis for my decision.

They are producing and developing (increasing their production) oils and gas properties and they recently announced a very successful well on their Rooney Project. Which indicates a field with at least 500,000 barrels of oil - and its the good stuff - 44 - it gets the highest price - oh and another thing, there is very little water.

This #24-1 well is a high value well because of its rate of flow (200 BOE), quality of oil (44) and lack of water. Plus, and perhaps more important, is that they are planning more drilling on this reservoir and have the potential to upgrade the reservoir to 5,000,000 barrels of oil, all in my humble and perhaps blue-sky opinion.

Ultimately I believe this has much higher upside than downside potential at this point at the .58 - 63 range so investors and traders should either already have this one in their account or have it high on their watch lists.

You should have a look at the company's chart. This company has very good potential to return healthy profits for investors and traders.

American Petro-Hunter Announces Development Plans for Rooney Oil and Gas Project

2009-12-21 08:02 ET - News Release

SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/21/09

American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") today announces the Company's 2010 development plan for the Rooney Oil and Gas Project in Kansas. The 24-1 Double H well is moving forward with the commencement of full scale commercial oil and gas production currently slated for January 1, 2010. The assembly of surface facilities including a large tank battery, pump-jack and installation of oil and gas lines is moving ahead as planned.

The Company and operating partners plan to drill 10 wells in the upcoming year. The first offset development well is scheduled to spud on January 25th and following that, one additional well each successive month. This represents a $2.5 million investment by the Company which, if production rates are as anticipated, will be returned through revenue and cash flow on a very short payback.

A review of the Rooney engineering and seismic data has indicated that the newly discovered oil and gas reservoir has a potential aerial extent that exceeds in acreage the size of existing oil fields in the area that have produced in excess of 2.5 million barrels. If the Company successfully drills 10 wells, and should the entire seismically indicated target prove productive, Rooney has the potential to develop into a field containing approximately 3 million barrels of oil based on this comparative analogy.

In order to properly value the Rooney Project, the ongoing development plan will include third party independent reservoir engineering. It is the aim of the Company to establish, as soon as possible, the Proved Developed Producing (P.D.P.) and Probable Undeveloped Producing (P.U.D.) engineering report. The report will be critical in putting a valuation on any and all reserves established by the #24-1 Double H and future wells.

American Petro-Hunter Updates Preparations for Oil Production at Rooney Project -- Company Adds Additional Acreage to Holdings

2010-01-04 09:00 ET - News Release

SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/04/10

American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") today announced that site preparations at the #24-1 Double H well are nearing completion in readiness for the commencement of full scale commercial oil and gas production at the Kansas based Rooney Project.

Surface facilities will be complete following this week's delivery of the 600 barrel tank battery thereby ensuring the well will go on pump January 9th at an anticipated rate of 200 barrels per day. The pump-jack, electrical supply and all onsite oil and gas lines have been installed. The natural gas line requires a 3/8th mile tie-in to a nearby commercial pipeline and is slated to be completed shortly.

The Company is also pleased to report that an additional 3 sections of land totaling 1,920 acres have been leased increasing the current Rooney Project land position to over 7,000 acres. With plans to drill 10 wells in the upcoming year at the rate of one new well every month, the added acreage could result in the identification and development of further well locations subject to additional seismic research.

As previously reported, a review of the Rooney engineering and seismic data has indicated that this newly discovered oil and gas reservoir has a potential aerial extent exceeding the acreage of existing nearby oil fields in the area that have produced in excess of 2.5 million barrels of oil. If the Company is successful in its initial 10 well drill program and should the entire seismically indicated target prove productive, Rooney could mature into a full field development project offering a recovery scenario in excess of 3 million barrels of oil based on this comparative analogy.

About the Rooney Project:

The Rooney Project is located in southwestern Ford County, Kansas 20 miles due south of Dodge City and totals 7,040 acres adjacent to the north edge of existing Morrow Sand oil and gas production.

There was news on Jan 11th that the Dec drilled well was producing 20% more oil than it had initially tested - though they were still securing the tie0in because the nta gas was a lot stronger than they expected...

the stock did not move up but continued and continues its accumulation

with a spud date of January 27th for the secind hole on this field there could be movement in the stock soon in spite of the softening markets - though if they really tank all bets are off

[aSmith]

excerpt from yesterday's Rooney update news release:

"The well has undergone a regimen of natural gas flow testing that resulted in a rate of 130 MMCF per day. This would be the anticipated production rate following the imminent tie-in to the pipeline.

The pipeline construction is nearing completion and was subject to a short delay in obtaining a permit to bore under the US 60 State Highway. The Company has been advised that the requisite permit is due shortly and it is anticipated that the gas will be tied into the pipeline in approximately 7 days.

The Company further wishes to report that the results of a gas analysis shows a BTU value of 1,527 and is of excellent quality containing various condensates of value. A contract has been executed with the local buyer and pipeline operator and all factors are now in place to commence commercial gas production shortly. NGPL-Midcont prices yesterday were quoted at $5.35 per MCF."

News out on AAPH - Estimate 3 million barrels of oil in new reservoir




still lots of upside from here IMO

[daytrader88]

AAPH should trade up between $2.00 - $2.25

So i did some more analysis and Im upping my short term price tgt to $2 from $1.60, still have my $5 tgt long term. Heres why

after their oil discovery today and based on being a 1000 barrels of
oil a day producer, @ $70 oil (conservative), we are looking at
1000*70*365 = $25,550,000 in revenue from the production of certain
wells.

Thats double the mkt cap (double the current stock price) if you apply a 1 times revenue multiple

[investorgeye]

I'm holding strong with AAPH being a 5-10 bagger. Huge upside and with the float diminishing now is the time

[investorgeye]

AAPH back above support at $.30, looks like buyers are stepping in
