CFA Commentary on (OTC.BB: AAPH), (NYSE:OXY), (NYSE:BRY), (NASDAQ:BEXP), (NASDAQ:BBEP)
“American Petro-Hunter's Sacramento Gas Project is estimated to contain 42 billion cubic feet of potential recoverable reserves. The gas is found at depths of 7,400 feet in a 50 foot sand pay zone. Third party engineers think a commercial well on the site could easily achieve initial production of 5,000 Mcf of gas per day. Output from nearby analog gas fields supports the expectation of high production rates. These fields currently produce between 2,000 and 4,000 Mcf of gas per day. The close proximity of American Petro-Hunter's prospect to the Union Island, McMullin Ranch and Vernalis fields also suggest the presence of sizable gas reserves. These fields are estimated to contain in aggregate over 437 billion cubic feet of natural gas.
American Petro-Hunter (OTC.BB: AAPH) and its partner completed seismic testing at the Sacramento Gas Project last year and are combining this data with seismic reports purchased from other engineering firms. The seismic data will be used to identify promising drill targets. American Petro-Hunter expects to complete drill site selection early next year. Once the drill site is chosen, preparations for drilling will begin almost immediately. The company plans to drill a test well to 7,800 feet, which will hopefully confirm the presence of trapped gas already indicated by the 2D seismic data. Drilling of the test well will likely begin in the summer of 2011. American Petro-Hunter must wait until the dry summer months to drill because the site is close to sea level. A total of three wells are planned as part of the drilling program. Assuming gas is found in commercial quantities, American Petro-Hunter plans to sell its production to groups such as PG&E Citygate, which supplies natural gas for electric power generation in the Sacramento region. The company will benefit from California gas prices, which are among the highest in the country. Current gas prices for PGE-Citygate are around $4.50 per Mcf. “

Rosetta Resources Inc. Announces Third Quarter Results
“Rosetta Resources Inc. ("Rosetta" or the "Company") today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2010 highlighted by continued positive results from its Eagle Ford resource play in South Texas. In less than one year, the liquids-rich region has become the largest producing area in the Company's portfolio.
Randy Limbacher, Rosetta's Chairman, CEO and President, said, "As we enter the final quarter of the year, the framework is in place for continued production growth and increased shareholder value. We continue to strengthen our position in the Eagle Ford play that is now the major base of production and reserves for the Company. During the quarter, we made significant progress on infrastructure projects that will ensure pipeline and processing capacity for current and projected production from the area for some time into the future. Better than expected results at Gates Ranch and successful drilling results on previously untested acreage are expanding our inventory of investment opportunities in the Eagle Ford play. We continue to assess an oil-producing province in the Southern Alberta Basin in northwest Montana. Our production is now comprised of more than 30 percent liquids and we will continue the sales of non-core assets to reduce our exposure to weak natural gas prices and to lower our cost structure. Rosetta today is a more focused, growth-oriented company with an extremely competitive position in one of the most active resource plays in the United States."
