"The Company recently announced the discovery of a new oil field at its Rooney Project, Kansas. Initial 3rd party estimates show this first of 10 wells will produce at 200 BOPD and further estimate that the oil pool has a potential of 500,000 barrels of oil."


Overview

American Petro-Hunter Inc. 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 believes that continued industry growth through the development and exploration of conventional domestic oil and gas reserves will provide the essential near-term stabilizing backbone and primary driver towards an American made economic recovery and restoration of the American vital financial system to prosperity.

With the achievable target of becoming a 1000 BOE (barrel of oil equivalent) producer as the Company's goal, American Petro-Hunter is actively on the “hunt” for domestic petroleum through exploration and acquisition.


Investment Highlights

  • Recent Oil Discovery. The Company recently announced the discovery of a new oil field at its Rooney Project, Kansas. Initial 3rd party estimates show this first of 10 wells will produce at 200 BOPD and further estimate that the oil pool has a potential of 500,000 barrels of oil.
  • Aggressive Growth Targets. American Petro-Hunter aims to become a 1000 BOE producer in the next 12 months by aggressively developing its Rooney and Poston Projects as well as continuing to engage in exploratory drilling opportunities on their Colby Prospect, West Texas Prospect, and Sacramento Gas Prospect.
  • Diversified Asset Portfolio. The Company has a diversified and balanced a portfolio of assets with five production properties in Kansas, Texas and California. American Petro-Hunter’s Poston Project, Trego County, Kansas and Rooney Oil Project, Ford Country, Kansas are already in-production. Other prospects include: Colby Prospect, Thomas County, Kansas; West Texas Project, Crockett County, Texas; and Sacramento Gas Prospect, Central Valley, California.
  • Strong Revenue Growth. According to a research report by Cohen Research, they expect significant revenues as the Company continues to bring more wells into production.

Profile

American Petro-Hunter, Inc. is a rapidly growing, expertly managed exploration and productions (E&P) company aiming to become an intermediate level oil and gas producer within the next 12 months. The Company recently announced the discovery of a new oil field at its Rooney Project, Kansas. Initial 3rd party estimates show this first of 10 wells will produce at 200 BOPD and further estimate that the oil pool has a potential of 500,000 barrels of oil!

American Petro-Hunter aims to become a 1000 BOE producer in the next 12 months by aggressively developing its Rooney and Poston Projects as well as continuing to engage in exploratory drilling opportunities on their Colby Prospect, West Texas Prospect, and Sacramento Gas Prospect.

Development of other acquired assets and acquisition of quality exploration projects in targeted jurisdictions will further increase its annual production capacity. American Petro-Hunter’s longterm goals are to take the Company through exploration, development and production in excess of the 2000 BOE level. This would create an attractive target for merger or acquisition by one of the majors. American Petro-Hunter is building a strong, balanced and diversified portfolio of oil and gas assets that will result in significant reserve growth, production revenue and value for shareholders.

The Company has a diversified and balanced a portfolio of assets with five production properties in Kansas, Texas and California. American Petro-Hunter’s Poston Project, Trego County, Kansas and Rooney Oil Project, Ford Country, Kansas are already in-production. Other prospects include: Colby Prospect, Thomas County, Kansas; West Texas Project, Crockett County, Texas; and Sacramento Gas Prospect, Central Valley, California. A geographical map and overview of the Company’s various projects can be viewed here.

According to a research report by Cohen Research, they expect significant revenues as the Company continues to bring more wells into production. Commercialization of reserves in Rooney and Poston Oil using superior technology and potential commercial production of other assets will result in revenues of $14.5 million for FYE 2010 and $32.8 million in FYE 2011. The Cohen Research report also gave American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB:AAPH) a BUY rating with a 12 month price target at $3.07, representing a 358% increase over today's trading price.

Cohen Research is not the only research firm giving AAPH a favourable recommendation, Jarret Wollstein, Editor of Intelligent Investor Report also commented recently by saying, "...This incredible stock, ripe with potential and backed by bedrock fundamentals, could rise as high as $3.00, perhaps even to $4.00 per share." John Myers of TopEnergyPicks.com said, "Buy American Petro-Hunter up to $1.50. My expectation is that even if one of its hot properties delivers as promised, this company will be selling above $3.00 per share."

It's always nice to see analysts agree on one thing, and right now it's on how undervalued AAPH currently sits. The Company is currently sitting around its 52 week high and from looking at the technical chart for AAPH, it looks as though the stock could continue to head higher. These are charts we love to see, ones that are clearly going in one direction, up.

Looking at the chart from a technical perspective, it's clear to see that AAPH is firmly in a bull trend, despite the sell-off that has been occurring in the broad markets. The stock broke-out in early December when it was around the $0.30 level and has not looked back since. Comparing a 10 day versus a 50 day EMA, the stock is still firmly holding on to the bullish trend that developed after the EMA crossed at the beginning of December, 2009. Since the breakout ended around mid-December, the stock has been creeping upwards and developing a new trading base, which is nice to see because upward breakouts are quite likely, however significant price drops do not occur quite as often.

The ADX crossed into a bullish trend at the beginning of January, and seems to be firmly showing a continuation of this trend. These and other indicators are all pointing to a continuation of the trend. The latest candlestick is showing indecision between bulls and bears, but with the other technical indicators showing bullish sentiment, AAPH could be poised for another leg up shortly.

Even though things are looking quite good for AAPH, we always recommend that all investors setup stop-losses just in case things go the other way. In this case, we see significant amount of support around the $0.60 range, so a stop loss at that price is encouraged. AAPH is looking quite strong right now, and we are not the only one's saying that. StockTA.com is bullish on AAPH right now and the site is fully automated and the results cannot be tampered with by humans, as the results are picked via proprietary technical algorithms. That being said, as always, these are only our interpretations of AAPH's chart, we strive to give you all the information we can and always encourage our investors to do their own due diligence and consult with a financial advisor before making any trading decisions.

American Petro-Hunter, Inc. is swiftly transforming itself from a developmental stage company to a commercially in-production and cash flow positive oil and gas company. The Company continuously evaluates opportunities for expansion within that industry through acquisition or other strategic relationships. The Company has and continues to develop a strong, balanced and diversified portfolio of oil and gas assets to create significant reserve growth, production revenue and value for shareholders.
Key value drivers for the Company include: discovery of a new oil field, existing production, a balanced portfolio of assets, favorable industry economics, and a strong management team. All those value drivers coupled with a favourable tenchical outlook on the Company's stock was the reason we spotlighted American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB:AAPH) as our latest U.S. Company Spotlight.


Company Properties

Kansas

Kansas ranks among the top ten States in crude oil production. The Anadarko Shelf in southwestern Kansas contains the Hugoton Gas Area, one of the top producing natural gas fields in the United States. The Mid-Continent Center, located in Wichita, is a key natural gas supply hub. It merges production from several States in the region before piping it east toward major consumption markets. Natural gas production from coal-bed methane is rapidly expanding in the Cherokee Platform, where reserves have become economically recoverable.

The Kansas oil and gas industry is nearly a $6.3 billion industry with over 2,100 licensed oil and natural gas producers producing nearly 40 million barrels of oil annually and over 383 billion cubic feet of natural gas annually in Kansas.

Texas

Texas is the leading crude oil-producing State in the U.S. with its signature crude oil. Known as West Texas Intermediate (WTI), it is the benchmark of crude oil in America. Texas’s 27 petroleum refineries can process more than 4.7 million barrels of crude oil per day. They account to more than one-fourth of the total U.S. refining capacity. In addition, approximately three-tenths of the total U.S. natural gas production occurs in Texas, making it the nation’s leading natural gas producer.

Texas has known petroleum deposits of about 5 billion barrels. This is equivalent to approximately onefourth of the known U.S. reserves. Several petroleum companies are based in Texas such as: Conoco-Phillips, Exxon-Mobil, Halliburton, Valero, and Marathon Oil.

California

California is rich in both conventional and renewable energy resources. It has large crude oil and substantial natural gas deposits in six geological basins, located in the Central Valley and along the Pacific coast. Most of those reserves are concentrated in the southern San Joaquin Basin. Seventeen of the Nation’s 100 largest oil fields are located in California, including the Belridge South oil field, the third largest oil field in the contiguous United States.

California ranks third in the United States in petroleum refining capacity and accounts for more than one-tenth of total U.S. capacity. California’s largest refineries are highly sophisticated. They are capable of processing a wide variety of crude oil types designed to yield a high percentage of light products like motor gasoline.

Rooney Oil Project, Kansas

American Petro-Hunter owns a 50% Working Interest and 40.75% Net Revenue Interest in the Rooney Project, located at Ford County Kansas. Site preparations at the #24-1 Double H Well were completed and the Company commenced of full scale commercial oil and gas production on Jaunary 05, 2010, reaching initial production levels of 240 BPD equivalent. Management considers this acreage to be a “core” land holding, one with future development that can provide the basis for the requisite BOE production necessary to meet corporate intermediate and long term goals.

In addition to the eight sections totaling 5,120 acres in T-29-S, R-24 & 25W Ford County, AAPH has reported that it leased an additional three sections of land totaling 1,920 acres. This increases the current Rooney Project land position to over 7,000 acres.

An additional offset location will be created in order to fully exploit the acreage at Rooney by January 2010 and management expects to drill an additional well every month for the next 8 months. Full development of the field could produce up to 600 BOPD of light oil. Estimates for recoverable barrels of oil are estimated to total approximately 3 million barrels under lease at the 10 drilled locations.

Poston Prospect, Kansas

American Petro-Hunter owns a 25% Working Interest and 20.4% Net Revenue Interest in the Poston Prospect, located in Trego County Kansas. The 750 acre block contains a potential multi well program with the first named the #1 Lutters Well. The well was drilled and completed in June 2009 and is currently in production. There is excellent transportation and support infrastructure in the area easily supporting a requisite storage tank battery at the location. American Petro-Hunter has achieved a cashflow status for the Poston Prospect.

An additional two to three offset locations are needed in order to fully exploit the acreage at Poston. Full development of the field could produce up to 400 BOPD of light oil. Estimates for recoverable barrels of oil are up to 60,000 per well location, or 240,000 barrels total under lease with 4 locations drilled.

Colby Prospect, Kansas

American Petro-Hunter has acquired a 25% Working Interest and 20.4% Net Revenue Interest in the Colby Prospect, located in Thomas County, Kansas. The 500 acre block owned by AAPH is a viable location with a well defined 3D seismic anomaly that includes seven potential zones for testing. The management expects to drill the first test well in the immediate term. Current estimates place the potential production from the indicated pay zones at between 75 and 100 barrels per day. Full development of the field from two or three offset well locations on the structure could produce between 200 and 400 BOPD.

Sacramento Gas Prospect, California

American Petro-Hunter has acquired a 25% working interest in the Sacramento Gas Project, located west of Modesto in the Central Valley of California, near Sacramento. Potential Recoverable Reserves have been calculated to be 42 BCF at a depth of 7,400 feet within sands. Third party engineering results show that if the pay zone is 100% gas filled and the well is brought into commercial production, an IPR (initial production rate) of 5,000 Mcf per day can be easily achieved. Based on the analog field’s production rate, the Company targets daily commercial production rates between 2,000 to 4,000 Mcf per day.
