The sale will include all of the company’s ownership in the Fetter and Krejci projects. The LOI is subject to land due diligence by the purchaser and other conditions, and is expected to close by March 31, 2010.
Pat O’Brien, CEO of American Oil & Gas, said: “Closing of this sale should allow us to focus our financial and human resources primarily on accelerating the development of the Bakken and Three Forks potential within our Goliath project area.
“While our Fetter project has recently demonstrated encouraging results from several re-completions into the Niobrara formation, we firmly believe it will take considerable time and considerable financial resources to move this project forward with a risk profile that is more appropriate for a larger organization.”
American Oil & Gas is engaged in exploration, development and production of hydrocarbon reserves primarily in the Rocky Mountain region.
