SCOTTSDALE, AZ  July 6, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - Junior oil and gas company, American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) reports that as of July 5th, the Company began selling natural gas into the pipeline at the North Oklahoma Project. The commencement of gas sales marks the first gas production from the project and confirms the Company as an oil and gas producer.

This inaugural gas sale event will be calculated at a Barrel of Oil Equivalent (BOE) sum at a 6:1 ratio of MCF gas to barrels of oil and will be combined with oil production figures as shipped from the tanks at month end once actual numbers are tabulated and made available by the operator.

The Company is now projecting, with the added BOE gas, that the cumulative daily net production total has now increased to 155 BOE and we are confident of reaching this total during the month of July. This cumulative number represents oil and gas production from four wells in Oklahoma and two in Kansas.

At 155 BOE per day production rate, the Company is now estimating over $5 million a year in cash flow projections at $90 oil prices. As reported previously, this injection of revenue will be instrumental in meeting our planned development costs as additional offset to the producers, including another horizontal well are now in the final planning and scheduling stages.
