American Petro-Hunter, Inc. is an exploration and production Company aiming to become an intermediate level oil and gas producer within 12 months. The Company is already in production at the Poston Project in Trego County, Kansas and at the Rooney Project in Ford County, Kansas. Management has set an achievable target of becoming a 1000 BOE producer over the near to intermediate term. In the short-term, American Petro-Hunter has acquired and will acquire more quality exploration projects in targeted jurisdictions favorable for near-term production close to existing infrastructure. American Petro-Hunter will aggressively search for existing production (Proved Developed Producing /PDP) from smaller, undervalued or underutilized properties that show high promise for probable undeveloped reserves (PUDs). Intermediate-term goals are focused on production through drilling multiple projects. The “basket” of projects includes a mix of higher risk and higher reward targets as well as stable, low risk targets. The Green Baron Report considers AAPH to be a fantastic investment for our members at current prices primarily for the following reasons:
Additionally, several independent research and energy analysts have recently identified AAPH as a great speculative investment. Here some of their quotes and a link to their research report:
Jarrett Wollstein
– Intelligent Investor Report
Paul Cohen – Grass
Roots Research and Distribution, Inc. http://americanpetrohunterinc.com/about/AAPH_COHEN_Report... The Green Baron Report believes that AAPH management has successfully identified properties that will continue to deliver. Investors are flocking into this stock because of its recent success at Rooney and the potential that experts believe exists on current claims and new acreage leased out at Rooney. AAPH stock steadily increased since mid-December and just broke out over the past week. We believe AAPH could test the recent break out price we identify at .85 per share, but will likely rally from here to new highs over the coming weeks. We figure AAPH could easily hit $1.50 per share by the end of March, and much higher if news of more successful wells are hit over the near-term. Target prices of $3 to $6 per share over the next year set by the analysts and writers listed appear to be reasonable. 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 and at the Rooney Project in Ford County, Kansas. With the achievable target of becoming a 1000 BOE producer as its goal, American Petro-Hunter is actively on the "hunt" for domestic petroleum assets. Vision
The
Company believes alternative sources of energy won’t become a
significant or practical solution for years to come and that the
country must support increased domestic drilling in order to
capitalize upon our existing technical supremacy and the unearthing
of significant and important new finds here at home.
To explore, develop and produce oil
and gas reserves in the continental USA thereby assisting our nation
in reducing its dependence on foreign oil. "America
First" and "in
our back yard" are
the motto's we will apply to each and every project we acquire. Any
partnerships will only be with other likeminded companies also
desiring to drill America out of these tough economic times by using
American workers and US technologies to target, and exploit
America’s vast wealth of untapped petroleum reserves. In the short-term, American Petro-Hunter will acquire quality exploration projects in targeted jurisdictions favorable for near-term production close to existing infrastructure. American Petro-Hunter will aggressively search for existing production (Proved Developed Producing /PDP) from smaller, undervalued or underutilized properties that show high promise for probable undeveloped reserves (PUDs). Intermediate-term goals are focused on production through drilling multiple projects. The “basket” of projects includes a mix of higher risk and higher reward targets as well as stable, low risk targets. American Petro-Hunter plans on building the company into a 500-1000 BOE producer in the next 2 to 3 years. Long-term goals are to take the company through exploration, development and production in excess of the 1000 BOE level in the aim of creating an inviting target for merger or acquisition by one of the majors. American Petro-Hunter will strive to book value in reserves such that the net asset value of the company would warrant a senior board listing allowing funding to acquire the larger, most prolific projects both on and off shore.
#24-1 Double H Oil Well at Rooney Project Tested at over 200 Barrels per Day Rooney Oil Project - Field Development
American
Petro-Hunter has successfully drilled the first of a series of
wells proposed for the Rooney oil project located in southwestern
Ford County, Kansas, 20 miles due south of Dodge City off US Highway
283. The acreage block presently contains 8 sections totaling 5,120
acres in T-29-S, R-24 & 25W Ford County. Pictures and other projects – We strongly urge our members and interested investors to visit the Company’s website at www.AmericanPetroHunterinc.com to view the many photos and descriptions of all its projects. Recent Key Announcements Tuesday, March 2, 2010 – American Petro-Hunter Updates Events at New Kansas Oil Reservoir Estimated to Contain 3M Barrels of Oil - SCOTTSDALE, AZ – American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH) (“American Petro-Hunter” or the “Company”) is pleased to update the drilling progress at the Shelor Oil Well at the Rooney Project, located in Ford County Kansas. Currently, the well has passed the 4,500 foot level and is drilling ahead. The Shelor well is planned for a total depth (T.D.) of approximately 5,400 feet and the Company now anticipates that the well will reach T.D. within 3 days. Once the well reaches the T.D., any and all prospective oil and gas shows will be evaluated through a series of Drill Stem Tests and a suite of electronic well logs. The election to run casing as a commercial well in readiness for production would be made at that time. Management anticipates well testing to proceed during the upcoming weekend. The Shelor well is the second oil well to be drilled at Rooney and is part of the Company’s planned drill program aimed at drilling at least one well per month in order to rapidly develop the newly discovered reservoir. The Shelor location is up-dip and North West from the currently producing 24 Double H well. In the event that the Shelor results as the second commercial producer at Rooney, the Company plans a rapid tie-in to the existing oil storage infrastructure and in the event of significant natural gas production to a nearby gas pipeline, a process estimated to take approximately two weeks to complete. Therefore, we would estimate that the Shelor well, if successful, could be generating revenue by mid-March. In related news, American Petro-Hunter is pleased to announce the launch of an informative video outlining the Company’s strategic aims and detailing recent important corporate events. To view the video, please visit our website at: www.americanpetrohunter.com Monday, February 22, 2010 - American Petro-Hunter Drilling New Oil Well at Rooney Project, Kansas - SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the drill program has commenced on the Shelor 23-2 well location at the Rooney Project, located in Ford County Kansas. The drilling rig has arrived on the lease and the well is set to spud immediately. The Shelor 23-2 well is the second oil well to be drilled at the project and is part of our goal to drill one well per month in order to develop the newly discovered reservoir at Rooney. The Shelor location is up-dip and North West from the #1 Double H producing well and is planned for a total depth (T.D.) of 5,400 feet. It is expected to take approximately 7 days to reach the T.D. after which any prospective oil shows will be drill stem tested. In the event of a second commercial producer, the Company plans a rapid tie-in to the existing infrastructure at the Rooney lease. 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. The initial discovery well, #24-1 Double H commenced commercial production from the Mississippian reservoir in January. The potential barrels of oil associated with the discovery well and underlying oil pool are currently estimated at 500,000 barrels. The Company and partners have developed a minimum of 10 target locations to drill that could add 10 additional wells to our portfolio by the end of the fourth quarter of 2010 at a planned drilling schedule of one new well per month. The operator of the project is S&W Oil & Gas, LLC of Wichita, Kansas. The purchaser of the oil production at Rooney is N.C.R.A. of McPherson, Kansas. Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - American Petro-Hunter Announces Details of New Discovery at Rooney Project, Kansas - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. is pleased to provide updated information regarding the nature of the Rooney Project, located in Ford County, Kansas. The production of oil at Rooney appears to represent the discovery of a new and unanticipated reservoir. This conclusion is based on data resulting from the test of promising 3D seismic information targeting the Morrow sands in the area. During the drilling of the #24-1 Double H well, the Morrow formation was intersected with good oil and gas shows but little porosity and permeability. A timely decision was made to continue drilling to the Mississippian St. Louis Formation where the strike was subsequently achieved. The Rooney is producing oil and gas from this Mississippian Limestone reservoir and will be the primary focus of all upcoming exploration. There appears to be great reserve potential in this limestone reservoir given the aerial extent throughout the acreage. The Company and engineers are now drawing direct analogous comparisons to the Ingalls field, which is another St. Louis Mississippian regional producer. The Ingalls field is located 30 miles west of Dodge City and 10 miles from Cimarron in neighboring Gray County. Discovered in the early 1980s, the 5,100 foot deep field is comprised of 30 producing wells and 16 plugged and abandoned and dry wells. Producing wells vary from lows of 19 BPD to 185 BPD with gas rates in the 150 MMCF per day range. A central line of 5 wells through the core of the trend produces between 150 and 180 BPD each. Historically, the Ingalls field produced over 2.5 million barrels from acreage that is smaller and from pay zones less than what the Company has mapped at Rooney. Given that Ingalls offers analogous data to Rooney there is a heightened probability that with proper development the Rooney project may exceed Ingalls in scope. Current estimates by Company engineers estimate this newly discovered potential to be in excess of 3 million barrels. American Petro-Hunter is also pleased to report that it continues to anticipate great promise and potential for future Morrow Sand oil and gas exploration at Rooney and may encounter locations that have multiple objectives in future wells. The next well in the planned 10 well Rooney Development Program is the Shelor 23-2, which is scheduled to spud on February 15th. The well is up-dip and North West from the producing #1 Double H well and is slated for a total depth (T.D.) of 5,400 feet. Once drilling commences it is anticipated to require 7 days to reach the T.D. after which any prospective oil shows will be tested. Wednesday, February 3, 2010 – American Petro-Hunter Announces Spud Date for New Oil Well at Rooney Project, Kansas - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. is pleased to announce that a spud date has been set for the newest development well at the producing oil & gas Rooney Project, located in Ford County, Kansas. The well has been designated Shelor 23-2 and is scheduled to spud on February 13th. The well is up-dip and North West from the currently producing #1 Double H well and is slated for a total depth (T.D.) of 5,400 feet. Once drilling commences it is anticipated to take 7 days to reach the T.D. after which any prospective oil shows will be tested. Monday, February 1, 2010 - American Petro-Hunter Updates Developments at the #24-1 Double H Well at Rooney, Kansas - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. wishes to provide a progress report regarding the previously announced installation of a natural gas pipeline at the Rooney project #24-1 Double H Oil & Gas Well in Kansas. 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. 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. Monday, January 25, 2010 - American Petro-Hunter Obtains New Research Report and Equity Opinion on the Company - SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company"), is very pleased to announce that it has received a newly updated, follow-on research report authored by Grass Roots Research and Distribution, Inc. ("Grass Roots"). Grass Roots has released the report which contains an equity opinion on the Company on its website and American Petro-Hunter has subsequently posted the report to its corporate website. The report features an updated analysis of the Company focusing on the new oil field discovery at the Rooney Project and the potential for future opportunity as the Company looks towards developing significant production at that location. The author, Paul Cohen, is the principal of Grass Roots and is noted for his diligent efforts on behalf of many early stage companies across a diverse industrial client base. The current report is supported by his significant depth of knowledge pertaining to the analysis of the oil and gas sector. To view the entire research report, or for more information on Grass Roots Research, go to www.grassrootsrd.com or visit AAPH's website at: www.americanpetrohunterinc.com The information, opinions, conclusions, views and statements in the report are those of Grass Roots and its authors only and the conclusions determined by Grass Roots were formed by an analysis of data provided by the Company. American Petro-Hunter commissioned and paid $7,500 for the development of the report as a follow-up to the initiation report issued in August 2009. Monday, January 11, 2010 - American Petro-Hunter #24-1 Double H Well in Production at Rooney - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. is very pleased to announce that the #24-1 Double H well commenced oil production on January 4th. The Initial Production Rate (I.P.R.) has reached levels of 240 BPD equivalent (10 barrels per hour) at between a 75% to 98% oil cut. The oil to the tanks is actually being limited due to high gas pressures and gas flow estimated at 150,000 to 200,000 cubic feet per day levels (150-200 MCF per day). The operator is working to contain the gas as soon as a tie-in to a nearby pipeline can be accomplished. The high gas pressures have not dropped sufficiently to allow the free steady flow of oil to the tanks at this time. However, once the gas is contained the Company will achieve a definitive assessment of stable production rates which are indicated currently at over 200 barrels per day. The Company will report when further data on daily rates are received from the operator and will closely monitor production over the next 30 to 60 days. Predicting actual rates is approximate and the total barrels per day produced may exceed or be less than calculated therefore oil pumped to the tanks is the most accurate assessment of any early stage producer. In related news, an oil purchase contract has been executed with N.C.R.A. (National Co-op Refinery Assoc.) of McPherson, Kansas to purchase all production at the Rooney lease. The Company and operator have negotiated a premium to Kansas common oil prices reflecting the value and quality of the 44 degree oil being produced at Rooney. Also, NGPL-Midcont gas prices are currently trading in the $6.20 per MCF range. 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. Wednesday, December 9, 2010 – American Petro-Hunter's Rooney Project Tests at Over 200 Barrels of Oil per Day With Estimated 500,000 Barrel Potential - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH) is pleased to announce the preliminary findings from the initial drill stem tests at the #24-1 Double H Oil Well on the Rooney Project, Kansas. A 12 foot pay zone was encountered that produced excellent quality 44 degree oil in the tubing up to the surface from 5,400 feet of depth with fluid test results returning 99% oil cut. The strong down-hole reservoir pressure combined with the initial data results have allowed engineers to calculate that the well should be capable of producing in excess of 200 barrels per day. After a review of the 3D seismic data in conjunction with the electronic logs, the potential barrels of oil associated to the #24-1 Double H well and oil pool is currently estimated at 500,000 barrels. The work over and completion rig has been scheduled to further test the well and prepare it for commercial production. The completion process should be accomplished by December 20th with the perforation of the casing and swabbing of the well. The Company anticipates having the #24-1 Double H well in production by January 1st 2010 at an Initial Production Rate (I.P.R.) of 200 Barrels Per Day. The Company will announce the results of any additional tests as soon as they become available from the operator. The completion data will provide further information as to what the Initial Production Rates (I.P.R.) will be. The well could prove capable of exceeding the original estimates but the Company and partners may opt to produce the well at rates more amenable to the reservoir in order to maintain pressures and integrity. Ultimately, daily production rates will be fully established once the well is put "on pump" and the actual barrels of oil produced to the tanks are measured. The first 90 days of production for a new well is critical to determine what the rates may level off to and what rates are best to maintain reservoir integrity. The construction of site facilities, including storage tanks and pump-jack, have been purchased and are awaiting delivery to the lease shortly after December 20th. In related news, offset drilling locations are now being engineered and selected on the Rooney lease and the engineering team will be proposing the full development plan shortly.

Green Baron Conclusion American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (BB: AAPH) is positioned to profit greatly from its interest in the Rooney oil wells and new drill targets. A well with production capacity of over 200 barrels per day is considered very healthy, and the Company believes it can duplicate these results many times over. Experts and analysts believe The Rooney Field will provide solid production for years to come, and AAPH has plans to actively drill on its leases throughout the year and add to its interests. It should be assuring to investors that AAPH already has two producing wells to provide its revenue stream. Although continued success on new drill sites is no guarantee, we expect that management will be going after the most reliable, low risk target zones to ensure additional revenue. Investors buying up AAPH now believe this is just the start, and that the share price is going to continue to rocket higher. Independent analyst and marketing reports point to a much higher target price for AAPH. A great deal of research has already been written about AAPH that justifies its explosive potential. We understand that AAPH has rallied some already, but this stock is certainly in play now and some say it’s just the beginning of the move. We expect that management will certainly do everything in its power to deliver continued good news for its supporters. Contacts: At the Company: American Petro-Hunter, Inc.
