Biotech/Pharma Stocks News; UV Flu Technologies (OTCBB: UVFT) to Finalize Acquisition of Leading Industrial Grade Air Purification Manufacturer
CENTERVILLE, MA � December 15, 2010 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - UV Flu Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: UVFT) (the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it is moving forward with plans to acquire a renowned US manufacturer of high quality air purification equipment designed for industrial applications including specialization in the medical and hospitality marketplace.
The final milestone prior to the close of the agreement was the completion of a financial audit, which was successfully concluded last week. A tentative closing date has been targeted for on or around December 30, 2010.
The agreement includes a patented, trademarked product line, with dozens of national distributors and representatives, an extensive customer list, inventory, and all associated manufacturing equipment. The company's sales include an installed base of several thousand units in over 1000 unique facilities nationwide, including over 400 hospitals.
"We are thrilled that the acquisition could close by year-end," said Jack Lennon, President of UV Flu Technologies. "With the acquisition of this Company, our product line will be complemented at the industrial level, while the introduction of our residential product will round-out the consumer end of the retail spectrum. Our current flagship product, the UV-400, can protect indoor spaces of up to 600-900 sq. ft., while the product line we will offer as a result of the new acquisition protects environments regularly ranging from 1000-5000 sq. ft. Additionally, our soon-to-be-introduced residential product will easily protect spaces under 600 sq. ft., providing us with full coverage for most every indoor scenario. We have extensively studied the test results and are satisfied that the HEPA based technology we are acquiring captures in excess of 99.97% of the particulates passing through it, is the finest in the industry, and an excellent fit to our long term goals," said Mr. Lennon.
"Our new acquisition will be operated as a subsidiary of UV Flu Technologies, and will provide a US manufacturing base to aid in the pursuit of government and DoD contract opportunities. We anticipate this added market segment will also lead to additional jobs and overall growth for the Company," said Mr. Lennon. "The enhanced product line will make us increasingly attractive to large US distributors, and increase our visibility within the hospital, hotel and casino marketplace. Upon the close of the transaction we will immediately reveal the identity of the acquisition and introduce our distributors to the entire product line, both domestically, as well as internationally. We believe the synergies will be extraordinary and hope to significantly increase our revenue estimates for 2011 as a result. Once our residential model is introduced to the lineup in 2011 we are highly optimistic for increased traction across the entire segment. We are very encouraged by the prospects and look forward to offering a full line of products that really work -- and all of which offer verified and laboratory proven test data for every application."
Further details regarding the Company's business, acquisitions, financial reports and agreements are filed as part of the Company's continuous public disclosure as a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") EDGAR database.

Woodford Shale a "world class oil and gas target "- Robert McIntosh, President & C.E.O.of American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH)
Point Roberts WA- December 9, 2010 .www.Investorideas.com, an investor research portal that specializes in sector research including energy stocks, reports on the Woodford Shale play as interest in energy stocks heats up.
The Woodford Shale formation has attracted some of the largest independent oil and gas companies including Devon Energy, XTO Energy, Petrohawk Energy, Southwestern Energy, Marathon Oil, Newfield Exploration and Continental Resources. Chesapeake Energy sold its Woodford position to BP in 2008.
Robert McIntosh, President & C.E.O.of American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH) reports, "We are in the Woodford Shale Play, as it is becoming a major oil and gas producing reservoir across the Anadarko Basin, the Cherokee Platform and the Arkoma basin which trend east west across the State. Between 2003 and 2010, over 1,000 vertical and 300 horizontal wells have been drilled in the Woodford. Of these, 1,200 wells have produced 1.4 million barrels of oil and 560 billion cubic feet (Bcf) gas since 2004. The Woodford Shale has first generated the oil that filled many of the old, conventional reservoirs and now it's being exploited as a reservoir in its own right. It is truly becoming a "world class oil and gas target". All the majors are there. Devon is especially active and has just updated its 2010 Cana Project drilling plans where it now expects to drill 100 wells, up from the previously announced 80.
Oklahoma is one of the nation's premier oil-producing states and the Woodford is a unique reservoir that offers tremendous potential for both oil and gas. The key is identifying the oil bearing parts and engineering the horizontal wells to drill along the shale which will, after fracking the oil shale, produce oil in very profitable economic rates. These wells are not inexpensive as we estimate $1.75 to $2.2 million to drill and complete a 1,500 foot lateral. But the reward is huge-as a well may potentially deliver 500 to 1,000 barrels per day which would pay back the capital investment in rapid fashion and allow excellent cash flow for the growth of the Company's future. We feel we have a tremendous lease package that holds many locations for both horizontal and vertical wells and have implemented and planned an active 2011 drilling program."

IP-Oh!�Shifting Tide of Public Offerings
Functional Inspiration: Money and Innovation in the Microsphere
(Investorideas.com newswire) New York, NY - The US IPO market of today bears only a faint resemblance to the roaring 90s, which culminated in the dot-com craze and bursting of the tech bubble in 2000. In recent years the biggest splashes in IPOs were made by such familiar names as Visa (V) and General Motors (GM).
In fact the party moved off-shore this past decade to Asia, where Chinese stock exchanges, including Hong Kong , have raised almost triple the amount of money secured by IPOs across the US in 2010.
Hong Kong reigns as the center for new listings, raising $53 billion in IPOs this year, compared with $42 billion in the US. Mainland exchanges raised $67 billion, according to Dealogic.
Still, the US IPO market should not be written off too quickly. In a Barron's piece this week, Renaissance Capital's chief investment officer points out that this calendar year's releases were up 21% through the end of November.
Renaissance's own float-weighted index tracks new issues for two years following their debut. The index had risen 15.9%, versus 12.1% for the S&P 500—excluding first-day gains.
This year's IPO market is expected to end on a strong note as eight more deals are scheduled for launch this week. If all eight companies manage to successfully go public, the IPO count for the month of December will hit 19 (compared with eight for December 2009) and 153 for the year (compared with 63 in 2009).
Comeback for Microcap IPOs?
Following the dot-com implosion, the US IPO market became quickly dominated by big-bucks institutional players and small companies were forced to go public mostly via reverse mergers—a far less prestigious avenue. The traditional IPO route has been closed off to nearly all microcap-sized companies.
Now a US House of Representatives panel is considering easing rules on small company IPOs, which would enable smaller companies to go public with fewer costs.
Federal law allows companies to conduct securities offerings of $5 million or less without filing a full registration statement with the SEC. The proposal, which hasn't been introduced yet as legislation, would raise the dollar limit under the exemption, known as 'Reg A', to $30 million.
The venture capital industry rightly argues the current exemption isn't useful to small companies because the current dollar limit is too low to justify the costs of going public. Naturally, VCs wants to see the change because venture capital funds are dying for liquidity. There are only so many opportunities to sell a venture-level company to a larger suitor; a pick-up in small IPOs would provide VCs additional ways to cash out.
Importantly, by raising the cap to $30 million, it would entice small private firms to seriously consider a 'Reg A' IPO as an alternative to a reverse merger or some form of venture funding. It will also spur new interest in the microsphere and act as a much-needed catalyst for investments in innovation and job creation.
I'll be watching develops closely next year when Congress may weigh this legislation, which will give a shot to the microcap segment if it makes it through the sausage machine.

INVESTMENT THESIS & RECOMMENDATION; Written by Grass Roots Research and Distribution, Inc.
Cohen Report Projects $1.02 per share for American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH)
"American Petro-Hunter intends to become a 500-1000 BOE producer in the next 12-36 months by aggressively developing its Poston and North Oklahoma Oil Project as well as continuing to engage in exploratory drilling opportunities on its Colby Prospect and Sacramento Gas Prospect.

Defense Stocks; Security Threat from Counterfeit Documents
Point Roberts, WA - December 14 , 2010 - Investorideas.com, an investor research portal covering multiple stock sectors including defense and security stocks, presents CFA commentary, Security Threat from Counterfeit Documents, featuring Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB:VSUL) and other key players.
Security Threat from Counterfeit Documents
Lisa Springer, CFA, Equity research analyst
Defense and Security Stocks in this Article; L3 Communications (NYSE:LLL), L1 Identity Solutions (NYSE:ID) , FLIR Systems (NASDAQ:FLIR) , American Science & Engineering (NASDAQ:ASEI) ,OSI Systems (NASDAQ:OSIS), Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB:VSUL)
Counterfeit IDs and currencies can pose as grave a threat to US border security as drug runners and terrorists. When setting up operations in the US, these criminals need to appear legitimate. The way they do this is with counterfeit documents.
Counterfeit IDs are usually created from stolen identities. Identity theft is now the Number 1 concern of US consumers, according to the Federal Trade Commission. . Recent statistics indicate a new victim of this crime every 79 seconds. An independent Gartner study estimated 15 million victims of identity theft and set odds of becoming a victim at 1 in 20.
The costs of identity theft are staggering - estimated at $50 billion annually for US businesses and consumers. Consumers spend more than $5 billion each year trying to undo the damage. The average victim of identity theft spends 40 hours cleaning up the financial mess and suffers $1,200 in unreimbursed financial losses.
Approximately 50% of world trade in illegal identities occurs in the US. An identitystolenfrom a US citizen can be purchased for under $20. Millions of illegal immigrants acquire identities this way, including some criminals. Mexican drug gangs regularly use fake documents to cross borders. A worst case scenario detailed in a PBS Frontline story found terrorists being specifically trained to use counterfeit documents to cross borders. The use of counterfeit documents has become a routine part of the training of Al Qaeda operatives .
A closely related threat comes from counterfeit currency. Most counterfeiting is done by sophisticated criminal gangs, but there is also a considerable body of evidence linking the most dangerous counterfeits, called "supernotes" to hostile foreign governments. Highly accurate $100 and $50 supernotes first appeared on the scene in the late 1980s. During the Bush administration, the US formally charged North Korea with counterfeiting the dollar, a claim since echoed by the Obama administration. The economic threat from supernotes was so pervasive that it triggered the first major redesign of US paper currency in decades.
Fraud detection has evolved into a $76 billion worldwide market attracting both large companies like L3 Communications (NYSE:LLL), L1 Identity Solutions (NYSE:ID) and FLIR Systems (NASDAQ:FLIR) and smaller niche players like American Science & Engineering (NASDAQ:ASEI) and OSI Systems (NASDAQ:OSIS). Most authentication technologies rely on sensor cameras, key cards and scanners to collect and verify data.
An emerging player in this space, Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL) , has developed and begun commercializing a patent-pending technology that provides fast, accurate authentication and has low production costs. Spectral Pattern Matching (SPM) technology begins with the premise that all dyes, chemicals and natural pigments possess a unique spectral signature invisible to the human eye but as absolutely unique as DNA or fingerprints. The technology uses a proprietary micro-miniature sensor to illuminate a subject multiple times with changing combinations of colored light. It detects the object’s unique spectral pattern and then matches it against existing databases. SPM can be easily integrated into hand-held or fixed devices and used to instantly authenticate access documents such as passports, driver’s licenses and facility badges as well as financial instruments such as currencies and checks. The technology can even be used to identify illicit substances and authenticate branded products like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors.
To help roll out SPM technology, Visualant recently acquired TransTech, an established national distributor of authentication products serving security and law enforcement markets. TransTech has a 15 year history, a national reputation and a distributor base of over 500 dealers, resellers and integrators. Since acquiring TransTech in June, Visualant has made considerable progress prepping for the market launch of its technology. The company completed its first demonstration unit, which was used to showcase SPM technology at industry trade shows in Atlanta and New York and at meetings in Japan. In addition, Visualant renewed a maintenance contract for staff ID cards with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in October and won a contract with a major North American defense contractor in November. The contract is to provide upgrades to the employee badge printing system of this Fortune 50 Company and is valued at $450,000.
Through TransTech, the company has already identified a number of lucrative launch opportunities for its technology. One such opportunity is the $4.1 billion law enforcement market for detecting illegal drugs such as cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine. An immense $11.4 billion market opportunity is found in authenticating branded products. Verifying IDs is already a $4.2 billion market and annual sales of systems that detect counterfeit currencies and checks currently exceed $3.5 billion.
In addition to its authentication capabilities, the Visualant SPM technology provides a tool for diagnostics. There is a shift in color that we perceive as humans in medical, agricultural and environmental diagnostics. Visualant intends to license its SPM technology for applications in these non-core areas. With its low cost and form factor flexibility, the SPM technology could provide significant advantages and utility as a diagnostic tool.
Over the next 18 to 24 months, Visualant (OTCBB: VSUL) plans to grow combined revenues from $10 million to a range of $35 million to $50 million by acquiring other high quality authentication product companies complimentary to TransTech. Visualant anticipates building critical mass and a footprint quickly by closing 1-2 such acquisitions per year.

With Gold prices approaching $1,400 an oz, Chazel Capital's Joint Venture with Rocmec Mining positions itself to be a lucrative private equity offering.
(Investorideas.com mining newswire) December 13, 2010 � Chazel Capital, Inc. is a privately held "Acquisition, Mining, and Exploitation Company" that acquires, develops and invests in quality precious metals mining operations throughout the free world. Rocmec Mining, Inc. a Canadian based public company that trades its shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, TSX Ventures Exchange, and the OTC Pink Sheets under the Symbols D50, RMI, and RCCMF respectively, is the inventor and 100% exclusive owner of a new and revolutionary "Green" mining process known as "Thermal Fragmentation". A capital outlay of more than $8 million dollars was spent to validate Rocmec's "Thermal Fragmentation" patent. Not only is Rocmec's new mining process safer than traditional mining methods, it significantly reduces the negative environmental impacts typically associated with old school mining techniques and has been approved for use in the USA, Canada, Morocco, South Africa, Mexico, Russia, Australia, Tanzania, Peru (China and Brazil are pending).
With understanding of America's dwindling fiat currency and failing World currencies, Chazel Capital has decided to give the opportunity for a small percentage of savvy foresight investors to become wealthy by investing into an industry that historically has prospered in an inflationary environment. By using a Private Equity approach, Chazel Capital intends to finance the mandated property improvements, acquire necessary mining equipment, and double the current capacity of the onsite "CIP Milling Plant" at the "OFIR Mine site from 50 tons per day to 100 tons per day capability. Once these objectives have been met and Romec's Patented "Thermal Fragmentation" technology is in place, Chazel/Romec has projected that the "OFIR Mine" could conservatively produce 700-800 ounces of gold per month.

Functional Inspiration Blog; Money and Innovation in the Microsphere by Josh Levine, IP-Oh!–Shifting Tide of Public Offerings
Functional Inspiration Blog; Money and Innovation in the Microsphere by Josh Levine, IP-Oh!–Shifting Tide of Public Offerings
IP-Oh!–Shifting Tide of Public Offerings
By Josh Levine -- December 10, 2010
http://levinesmicrocapinvestor.com
The US IPO market of today bears only a faint resemblance to the roaring 90s, which culminated in the dot-com craze and bursting of the tech bubble in 2000. In recent years the biggest splashes in IPOs were made by such familiar names as Visa (V) and General Motors (GM).
In fact the party moved off-shore this past decade to Asia, where Chinese stock exchanges, including Hong Kong , have raised almost triple the amount of money secured by IPOs across the US in 2010.
Hong Kong reigns as the center for new listings, raising $53 billion in IPOs this year, compared with $42 billion in the US. Mainland exchanges raised $67 billion, according to Dealogic.
Still, the US IPO market should not be written off too quickly. In a Barron's piece this week, Renaissance Capital's chief investment officer points out that this calendar year's releases were up 21% through the end of November.
Renaissance's own float-weighted index tracks new issues for two years following their debut. The index had risen 15.9%, versus 12.1% for the S&P 500—excluding first-day gains.
This year's IPO market is expected to end on a strong note as eight more deals are scheduled for launch this week. If all eight companies manage to successfully go public, the IPO count for the month of December will hit 19 (compared with eight for December 2009) and 153 for the year (compared with 63 in 2009).
Comeback for Microcap IPOs?
Following the dot-com implosion, the US IPO market became quickly dominated by big-bucks institutional players and small companies were forced to go public mostly via reverse mergers—a far less prestigious avenue. The traditional IPO route has been closed off to nearly all microcap-sized companies.
Now a US House of Representatives panel is considering easing rules on small company IPOs, which would enable smaller companies to go public with fewer costs.
Federal law allows companies to conduct securities offerings of $5 million or less without filing a full registration statement with the SEC. The proposal, which hasn't been introduced yet as legislation, would raise the dollar limit under the exemption, known as 'Reg A', to $30 million.
The venture capital industry rightly argues the current exemption isn't useful to small companies because the current dollar limit is too low to justify the costs of going public. Naturally, VCs wants to see the change because venture capital funds are dying for liquidity. There are only so many opportunities to sell a venture-level company to a larger suitor; a pick-up in small IPOs would provide VCs additional ways to cash out.
Importantly, by raising the cap to $30 million, it would entice small private firms to seriously consider a 'Reg A' IPO as an alternative to a reverse merger or some form of venture funding. It will also spur new interest in the microsphere and act as a much-needed catalyst for investments in innovation and job creation.
I'll be watching develops closely next year when Congress may weigh this legislation, which will give a shot to the microcap segment if it makes it through the sausage machine.

About the Changyun Coal Project
Located within the Bijie coal fields, Guizhou Province, the Changyun coal mine covers an area of 2.0954 sq. km with valid mining permits for a 150,000 MTPY coal mining operation, which may be expanded to 300,000 - 500,000 MTPY. Local historical reports (non-compliant with NI 43-101) state that coal seams within the mine area are highly altered and would produce a low ash, low to medium sulphur (average 0.23%), and low-volatile (7-8% volatile matter) product, with high gross calorific value that ranges from 6400 to 7200 Kcal/kg. The thermal grade coal is suitable for power plant use. A ready market for production exists with the nearby power plants and other end users within Guizhou province.
In addition to the mine, Changyun has recently been provided with preferential rights to explore and develop a 20 sq. km of highly prospective exploration land surrounding the mine.
About Lucky Strike:

Energy Stocks; American Petro-Hunter (OTC.BB: AAPH ) Finalizing Completion of NOJ26
Oil Well in Readiness for Immediate Commercial Production
“SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Investorideas.com energy newswire 12/13/10) - American Petro-Hunter,
Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH ) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") today wishes to announce
that the Company has now reached the final stage of the ongoing well completion program of the
NOJ26 oil well at the North Oklahoma Project. The well is currently undergoing preparations to
commence commercial production.
The final stage of the completion program is underway and involves the acidization and a
light fracture stimulation of the upper Mississippi oil pay zone formation. Once the program is
concluded this week, the well will be put on pump for immediate production. Scheduling is on
track and facility infrastructure is readied for production and shipment of oil for sale.
As reported earlier, NOJ26 encountered a 40 foot oil pay zone in the Mississippi formation.
The Company and operator are encouraged by data at two analog wells producing from the
same formation less than 1/2 mile away which have cumulatively yielded 46,000 barrels of oil
and .75 BCF gas to date. It is anticipated that NOJ26 will produce an early flash of oil greater
than 100 barrels per day followed by a period of well stabilization. The true test of the well and
its subsequent flow rates will be based on the actual quantity of oil sent to the tanks over the
upcoming weeks and months ahead. “

About the Changyun Coal Project
Located within the Bijie coal fields, Guizhou Province, the Changyun coal mine covers an area of 2.0954 sq. km with valid mining permits for a 150,000 MTPY coal mining operation, which may be expanded to 300,000 - 500,000 MTPY. Local historical reports (non-compliant with NI 43-101) state that coal seams within the mine area are highly altered and would produce a low ash, low to medium sulphur (average 0.23%), and low-volatile (7-8% volatile matter) product, with high gross calorific value that ranges from 6400 to 7200 Kcal/kg. The thermal grade coal is suitable for power plant use. A ready market for production exists with the nearby power plants and other end users within Guizhou province.
In addition to the mine, Changyun has recently been provided with preferential rights to explore and develop a 20 sq. km of highly prospective exploration land surrounding the mine.
About Lucky Strike:
Lucky Strike Resources Ltd. is a Canada-based exploration stage company. The Company is engaged in the process of exploring and/or developing coal properties in Guizhou province in China. The Company also has property in Yreka, British Columbia, Canada. The Changyun coal project is a former past producing mine and is located some 25 km northeast of Bijie City in Guizhou province, approximately two hours north by air from Hong Kong. The permitted mine covers a total area of 2.0954 sq. km and is surrounded by approximately 20 sq. km of highly prospective exploration area, where available geological data supports the potential presence of significant coal resources of high quality Anthracite coal within the area. The local area has well established infrastructure for the Changyun project to resume production and coal buyers to pick up coal FOB at the mine site.

Oil and Gas Stocks; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Finalizing Completion of NOJ26 Oil Well in Readiness for Immediate Commercial Production
SCOTTSDALE, AZ - December 13, 2010 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) � American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") today wishes to announce that the Company has now reached the final stage of the ongoing well completion program of the NOJ26 oil well at the North Oklahoma Project. The well is currently undergoing preparations to commence commercial production.
The final stage of the completion program is underway and involves the acidization and a light fracture stimulation of the upper Mississippi oil pay zone formation. Once the program is concluded this week, the well will be put on pump for immediate production. Scheduling is on track and facility infrastructure is readied for production and shipment of oil for sale.
As reported earlier, NOJ26 encountered a 40 foot oil pay zone in the Mississippi formation. The Company and operator are encouraged by data at two analog wells producing from the same formation less than 1/2 mile away which have cumulatively yielded 46,000 barrels of oil and .75 BCF gas to date. It is anticipated that NOJ26 will produce an early flash of oil greater than 100 barrels per day followed by a period of well stabilization. The true test of the well and its subsequent flow rates will be based on the actual quantity of oil sent to the tanks over the upcoming weeks and months ahead.
Company President Robert McIntosh states "with the recent increase in the price of oil to over $89 per barrel, the Company is very confident that we will have a commercially viable well on pump very soon which, if it produces as anticipated at more than 100 BPD for the initial production period, it could net the Company an additional $120,000 per month beginning in 2011 and pay out within three months. We are already moving ahead and have engineered our next offset location near to the NOJ26 and are scheduling a near term spud date expected for early January."
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 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

Why Independent Oil and Gas Companies (OTC.BB: AAPH and (NYSE: DVN) are in the
Wood ford Shale Play
Point Roberts WA- December 10, 2010 .www.Investorideas.com, an investor research portal that
specializes in sector research including oil and gas stocks, features commentary from two energy
companies, American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH and Devon (NYSE: DVN, and why they
believe in their presence in the Woodford Shale area.
The Woodford Shale formation has attracted Devon Energy(NYSE: DVN, XTO Energy,
Petrohawk Energy (NYSE:HK) Southwestern Energy (NYSE:SWN) Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO)
, Newfield Exploration (NYSE:NFX) and Continental Resources (NYSE:CLR) and other
independent energy companies into the play.
President & C.E.O of American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH),Mr. Robert McIntosh, notes,
“We are in the Woodford Shale Play, as it is becoming a major oil and gas producing reservoir
across the Anadarko Basin, the Cherokee Platform and the Arkoma basin which trend east west
across the State. Between 2003 and 2010, over 1,000 vertical and 300 horizontal wells have been
drilled in the Woodford. Of these, 1,200 wells have produced 1.4 million barrels of oil and 560
billion cubic feet (Bcf) gas since 2004. The Woodford Shale has first generated the oil that filled
many of the old, conventional reservoirs and now it’s being exploited as a reservoir in its own
right. It is truly becoming a “world class oil and gas target”. All the majors are there. Devon is
especially active and has just updated its 2010 Cana Project drilling plans where it now expects to
drill 100 wells, up from the previously announced 80.
Oklahoma is one of the nation’s premier oil-producing states and the Woodford is a unique
reservoir that offers tremendous potential for both oil and gas. The key is identifying the oil
bearing parts and engineering the horizontal wells to drill along the shale which will, after fracking
the oil shale, produce oil in very profitable economic rates. These wells are not inexpensive as we
estimate $1.75 to $2.2 million to drill and complete a 1,500 foot lateral. But the reward is huge-as
a well may potentially deliver 500 to 1,000 barrels per day which would pay back the capital
investment in rapid fashion and allow excellent cash flow for the growth of the Company’s
future. We feel we have a tremendous lease package that holds many locations for both
horizontal and vertical wells and have implemented and planned an active 2011 drilling program.”
Chip Minty Manager, Media Relations of Devon (NYSE: DVN) reported to Investorideas.com ,
“The Woodford Cana Shale is another very exciting play within our asset portfolio. We are seeing
outstanding results in this relatively young play, and we continue to move additional rigs into the
area where we have seen strong production growth throughout this year. In the third quarter,
our average daily production reached a record 117 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent,
and we expect our production there to more than double by the end of 2011,” said Dave Hager,
Devon’s executive vice president of exploration and production.
“We think the Cana Woodford holds long-term promise for Devon, and we are pleased to
have assembled a lease position of 240,000 net acres in the best parts of the liquids-rich play.
Because of our success there, and the Cana’s outstanding economics, we continue to increase
our investment. Currently, we have 19 Devon-operated rigs in the Cana, and we expect to add
two more by the end of this year,” Hager said.
In November, Reuters quoted Marathon's (NYSE:MRO) C.E.O. as saying “his company would
focus more on Oklahoma's Woodford shale next year because it represented better value than
the Bakken. “

Energy Stocks; Woodford Shale a “world class oil and gas target “
- Robert McIntosh, President & C.E.O.of American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:
AAPH)
Point Roberts WA- December 9, 2010 .www.Investorideas.com, an investor research portal that
specializes in sector research including energy stocks, reports on the Woodford Shale play,
including American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH and Devon (NYSE: DVN, as interest in
energy stocks heats up.
The Woodford Shale formation has attracted some of the largest independent oil and gas
companies including Devon Energy, XTO Energy, Petrohawk Energy, Southwestern Energy,
Marathon Oil, Newfield Exploration and Continental Resources. Chesapeake Energy sold its
Woodford position to BP in 2008.
Robert McIntosh, President & C.E.O.of American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH) reports
, “We are in the Woodford Shale Play, as it is becoming a major oil and gas producing reservoir
across the Anadarko Basin, the Cherokee Platform and the Arkoma basin which trend east west
across the State. Between 2003 and 2010, over 1,000 vertical and 300 horizontal wells have
been drilled in the Woodford. Of these, 1,200 wells have produced 1.4 million barrels of oil and
560 billion cubic feet (Bcf) gas since 2004. The Woodford Shale has first generated the oil that
filled many of the old, conventional reservoirs and now it’s being exploited as a reservoir in its
own right. It is truly becoming a “world class oil and gas target”. All the majors are there. Devon is
especially active and has just updated its 2010 Cana Project drilling plans where it now expects
to drill 100 wells, up from the previously announced 80.
Oklahoma is one of the nation’s premier oil-producing states and the Woodford is a unique
reservoir that offers tremendous potential for both oil and gas. The key is identifying the oil
bearing parts and engineering the horizontal wells to drill along the shale which will, after fracking
the oil shale, produce oil in very profitable economic rates. These wells are not inexpensive as
we estimate $1.75 to $2.2 million to drill and complete a 1,500 foot lateral. But the reward is
huge-as a well may potentially deliver 500 to 1,000 barrels per day which would pay back the
capital investment in rapid fashion and allow excellent cash flow for the growth of the Company’s
future. We feel we have a tremendous lease package that holds many locations for both
horizontal and vertical wells and have implemented and planned an active 2011 drilling program.”
Chip Minty Manager, Media Relations of Devon (NYSE: DVN) reported to Investorideas.com ,
“The Woodford Cana Shale is another very exciting play within our asset portfolio. We are seeing
outstanding results in this relatively young play, and we continue to move additional rigs into the
area where we have seen strong production growth throughout this year. In the third quarter,
our average daily production reached a record 117 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent,
and we expect our production there to more than double by the end of 2011,” said Dave Hager,
Devon’s executive vice president of exploration and production.
“We think the Cana Woodford holds long-term promise for Devon, and we are pleased to
have assembled a lease position of 240,000 net acres in the best parts of the liquids-rich play.
Because of our success there, and the Cana’s outstanding economics, we continue to increase
our investment. Currently, we have 19 Devon-operated rigs in the Cana, and we expect to add
two more by the end of this year,” Hager said.
In November, Reuters quoted Marathon's C.E.O. as saying “ his company would focus more on
Oklahoma's Woodford shale next year because it represented better value than the Bakken. “
