Not until you've made at least 3 post. After that you can post links.

Okay, I will try again - without any links:

From Wed. news: "...offset drilling locations are now being engineered and selected on the Rooney lease..." sounds like it could be

the reservoir is estimated to be 500,000 barrels of oil and future drilling here will be step out drilling all increasing the daily output presently projected to be 200 BOE... each well they drill will be a producer!

the stock is doing quite well, starts the day at .64 - up .01 from yesterdays close

I have heard it said that penny stocks are gambling. That broad brush stroke makes many opportunities very healthy for investors who do their research. When the "crowd" of believers finally wakes up, jumps on and chases a penny stock that is solid company with good management, earnings and realizable growth potential the investor who found the opportunity reaps the greatest rewards.

Sub-pennies are gambling, they are for lottery players and the success is just as rare - except for those who are promoting them of course.

Not all stocks on the OTCBB are dangerous to invest in. Many are RTOs done by businesses that want to get on placed in the market for a lot less money and time than it takes to go the IPO route.

I like to think of those companies as "not long for the OTC".

For AAPH - American Petro-Hunter - It listed via an RTO mid-March 2009. The company is already profitable and are in the process of aggressively adding to production. It is not a gamble, unless you think oil prices will fall long term (and believe the world is flat). This is a solid company, a real investor's gem short/medium and long term. In fact the company is indicating that it will increase revenues some 15 to 20 times over the next 24 months. With its small float, revenues and growth this is the kind of company, presently still flying beneath the radar, OTC investors should be looking for.

There are others too - this is not a rare item.

Further to my previous post:


I always toss email with stock recommendations. I look for stock, picking through the rumble, looking at high volume events, reviewing other trader/investors choices BUT always always always research - there is no excuse for not doing one's own due diligence.

AAPH -- the price of oil:

As far as oil is concerned - it depends on your event horizon. I think that oil will steadily increase in price over this year to plus $80 - but if the US$ falls off of a cliff all bets are off and the price could spike.

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. Please visit American Petro Hunter - HOME to view background information on the project as well as recent photos of drilling operations in Kansas.

My view on where the stock value could be going

Consider their Rooney Project (they have 5 projects, 3 in Kansas, 1 in Texas and 1 in California)

1. Oil is expected to flow as of January 1, 2010 from their successful 200 barrels of oil (BOE) well on the Rooney Project

2. Based on this single well the estimated reservoir size: 500,000 barrels of 44 degree oil - a top-dollar resource

3. AAPH are planning to and will be drilling several (possibly 10) step-out holes on their successful Rooney Project

4. If the 2nd hole hits I believe we can expect their projected earnings will go up 5 fold!

To project a little:
- If AAPH does prove out this field with a total of 10 wells --
- And each well produces roughly the same flow rates (200 BOE). (Note: My understanding is that the drillers and engineers do think this is a very real possiblity.)
- Note also that $35,000 per flowing barrel is the industry standard for this type of reservoir if it was being purchased for cash by a major oil company.
- It could mean: AAPH is sitting on 200 flowing barrels a day, which, over 10 possible wells could be 2,000 flowing barrels a day. Consider then that under this scenario, if this field was purchased by a major, then AAPH would receive 2000 X $35,000 or $70,000,000.

- to add to the fever any investor would be feeling at this point let's take this one step further: 500,000 barrels x 10 wells potentially is 5,000,000 barrels in the ground resource.- these assumptions may be low.

5. Now take a look at the price and shares outstanding. Do the share-value-math for his immanent multi-bagger - it should make you a serious buyer today - IMHO.

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.
