SCOTTSDALE, AZ  May 2, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") is very pleased to announce the latest producing oil well in an ongoing series of wells at the North Oklahoma Yale Prospect. The well has been designated as NOS122 and has been swab tested and deemed ready for immediate commercial production.

The NOS122 is a re-entry project where the well bore and casing was opened and then cleaned, with tests resulting in high gravity oil swabbed at a final rate of 5 barrels per hour or the equivalent of 120 barrels per day at 2,700 feet. The testing showed 100% oil cut with no water from 6 feet of sand within the Skinner Formation.

The Skinner is an historic "over producer" of oil. An analog well to the north produced an I.P.R. (Initial Production Rate) of 700 barrels per day and cumulatively produced 80,000 barrels from a 3 foot sand thickness. The NOS122 shows a 6 foot interval and the Company has hopes that rates will exceed the 120 BPOD test rate.

American Petro-Hunter and partner, each with 50% working interests, are moving quickly to install a pump jack, tubing in the well and hook-up to a tank battery. Commercial sales are scheduled to begin immediately upon completion of the equipment installation.

The Skinner zone is a new addition to the Woodford and Mississippi formations already in production at the projects 3 other commercial wells and the related geology of the leases is under analysis to incorporate any and all Skinner potential to existing data. The NOS122 is on a 160 lease block with 3 additional offset locations possible.

In related news at the NOS227 well site, the "multi-stage surge frack," designed by the engineering team to be implemented by Basic Well Services of Cushing, Oklahoma is set for May 4th. Management believes the frack will result in oil production at NOS227with an Initial Production Rate ("IPR") of 300 barrels of oil per day (BOPD). The Company will update progress of the frack as soon as activities warrant, on or shortly after May 4th.

Company President and C.E.O. Robert McIntosh states, "The new NOS122 Skinner Well is a great addition to our growing production in Oklahoma and will be producing soon at very little cost to the Company. The fact that the Skinner is oil with associated gas and with no water to dispose of makes the well extremely profitable with virtually immediate payback to our investment."
