LATEST NEWS!! American Petro-Hunter Announces Development Plan for North Oklahoma Shale Oil Project
SCOTTSDALE, AZ, Jul 29, 2010 -- American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH) today wishes to provide further details of the Company's North Oklahoma Project, and discuss the ongoing development plan for the 7 leases totaling over 1,000 acres located in Payne County, near Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Shale oil plays have become the source of considerable domestic onshore production over the past few years as the technological refinement of horizontal drilling techniques and the use of fracture stimulation programs designed to liberate the oil from the shale formations has increased dramatically. Recently, shale plays of magnitude in similar shales such as the Bakken and Green River formations are showing the best results from horizontal wells. American Petro-Hunter believes that its working interest participation in the Oklahoma project has the potential to become a large shale oil play offering stable long life reserves and predictable production.
The North Oklahoma Project has several prospective locations and the minimum 640 acres required to drill a 2,000 foot horizontal well and the operator is currently developing the engineering data and cost analysis in order to commence operations. Additionally, the Company has been presented with an opportunity to participate in another regional prospect offering a horizontal play scheduled to commence in September. The potential of a successful horizontal well in the Oklahoma shale has been estimated at between 1,000 and 1,200 barrels per day. It is the Company's goal to participate in, drill and complete wells of this magnitude which would assist in meeting our stated goals and objectives.
Regionally, significant shale oil projects have been developed within the Bakken Formation which encompasses 200,000 square miles of the subsurface of the Williston Basin, covering parts of Montana, North Dakota, and Saskatchewan, Canada. A report by the USGS estimated the amount of technically recoverable oil within the Bakken Formation at 3.0 to 4.3 billion barrels. The state of North Dakota also released a report which confirms these numbers. Along with the Green River Formation which covers portions of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, these oil shales indicate vast reserve potential.
Currently at the North Oklahoma Project, all efforts to prove the presence of a large shale reserve have been positive. Preliminary operations and initial drill testing of the potential within a 48 foot thick shale pay zone calculated to produce commercial quantities of oil have been successful to date. The No. 1 Well has been tied in to the storage tank battery, gas lines have been connected, and a gas sample has been provided to the purchaser. As reported previously, the well was acidized and producing at 75 BPD rates. Now that the fracture stimulation program is complete, the well requires tie-in to a water disposal well prior to fully achieving the stable rates anticipated. The No. 2 and 3 Wells are currently in varied stages of work and the Company anticipates bringing additional production online in August.
Company President Robert McIntosh states, "Our initial efforts lead us to believe that we have real potential in the Oklahoma shale. The opportunity to participate in horizontal drilling gets us on track to quickly achieve some significant production goals. All the data looks good and we know the oil is in place, so now is the time to get on with the 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 and at the Rooney Project in Ford 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

LATEST NEWS!! Craig Hallum Cites GreenMan Technologies as a Company Expected to Benefit From Pending Senate Energy Bill CARLISLE, IA, Jul 29, 2010 -- GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: GMTI) announces it was among 6 public companies mentioned in a research update issued by Craig Hallum on July 28, 2010 as expected to benefit from natural gas legislation within the U.S. Senate's pending Clean Energy Jobs And Oil Company Accountability Act.
Robert Brown, Senior Research Analyst at Craig Hallum, commented: "Details of the pending Senate Energy bill (now the Clean Energy Jobs And Oil Company Accountability Act) were released last night. The bill includes over $4 billion in new incentives for the adoption of natural gas vehicles including: (1) a doubling of the current per-vehicle tax credits -- both light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles; (2) new grants for refueling stations; and (3) a loan program for the cost of expanding manufacturing of alternative fueled vehicles and components. This is better than we had expected, particularly the station grants and light-duty incentives." He further stated, "We believe this new support for natural gas vehicles will help drive adoption and is very positive for publicly traded companies in the space." GreenMan was cited as one of six public companies highlighted in the update, positioned to benefit from the pending legislation.
GreenMan's American Power Group Subsidiary provides a cost-effective dual fuel technology that allows vehicular and stationary diesel engines to run on a mixture of diesel and natural gas. The technology is unique because it provides an inexpensive energy and emission reducing retrofit solution targeting the over 5 million heavy duty trucks and buses in operation today in the United States.
Craig Hallum has not received investment banking revenue from GreenMan. Craig Hallum may seek compensation for investment banking services from GreenMan in the future. Craig Hallum does not provide formal research coverage of GreenMan.
About GreenMan Technologies GreenMan Technologies, through its subsidiaries, provides technological processes and unique marketing programs for alternative energy, renewable fuels and innovative recycled products.
