Field Development


American Petro-Hunter has drilled the first of a series of wells at the Rooney oil project located in southwestern Ford County, Kansas, 20 miles due south of Dodge City off US Highway 283. The acreage block presently contains 8 sections totaling 5,120 acres in T-29-S, R-24 & 25W Ford County.

The Rooney Project is directly adjacent to the north edge of an existing oil and gas production area. An analog well designated as 3-30-25W in the pool has cumulatively produced 344,448 Barrels of oil and 933,622 MCF gas. There are multiple wells within 2 miles of our acreage that have produced in the 35,000 to 40,000 barrel range from discrete sand channels. Morrow sand channels have been identified on 3D seismic and may be drill tested in the future.

The #24-1 Double H well was drilled in late November of 2009 and encountered a 12 foot pay zone that produced excellent quality 44 degree oil in the tubing up to the surface from 5,400 feet of depth with fluid test results returning 99% oil cut. The field potential is currently under review and additional work may be undertaken in the future.
