Likely just a scam...
When I first saw the original "job" ad (first link) I googled "hart west oilfield services" and nothing came up. Now there is that link to the company "website" at bloombiz.com, plus a few others. Looks like someone is trying hard to appear legit.
Oh, Hart West also has some Bonny light crude oil to sell you, if you are interested. LOL

Looks like the Change of Control paragraph...
first appeared in the 10K/A for 2008 that was filed on 1/28/2009, but it only applied to Ledbetter.
POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF CONTROL
As of September 30, 2008, Company has entered into only one employment or other agreement that includes a change of control severance provisions with an executive officer, including the named executive officers. The Company’s employment agreement with its technical vice president, Mr. Ledbetter, provides that Mr. Ledbetter would be eligible for payments upon any termination without cause prior to expiration of the contract as described below under Employment Contracts.

It was then added to the 10K for 2007 in the 10K/A that was filed on 7/8/2009, but was also only for Ledbetter.

Addax Signs Contract With IDS For Drilling Reporting Services
13 July 2009
IDS, the largest provider of web-based daily reporting services to the upstream oil and gas industry, has signed a new contract to provide drilling reporting services for Addax Petroleum.
IDS was invited to participate in a selection process to find a global solution for drilling reporting systems for the international oil and gas exploration and production company. Addax Petroleum selected IDS’s DrillNet as the most flexible and cost-effective solution to the challenge of its remote drilling locations.
Saskia Schils, Performance/QAQC Drilling Engineer, Addax Petroleum, says: “The one-on-one training offered by IDS across the internet is a huge positive for us as a global operation in often isolated sites. Having a 24/7 support team included in the daily charge was also very important in ensuring the service is cost effective.”
The Corporate Drilling Department at Addax Petroleum and the technical team at IDS worked closely to ensure that the custom-built system met all possible requirements. Being WITSML-enabled, DrillNet was able to meet systems integration needs. Addax Petroleum found the software easy to roll out and were particularly impressed by the ease of data input. As IDS only charges for use, the system is more commercially viable than a traditional licence fee.
Beth Anderson, Business Development Manager UK & Europe, at IDS, says: “We have worked hard to ensure that DrillNet is fully tailored to meet both the practical and financial needs of Addax Petroleum. Our web-based system sits perfectly with their business model as it allows access anytime, anywhere, requiring just a web browser and log-in details but also provides the security and peace of mind required.”

Sustainable Chargers and the U.S. Military
The U.S. military is hungry to kick the fossil fuel habit and it has adopted a military sustainability policy to that effect. In some ways the military is far outstripping the civilian world in its acceptance of the need to make a radical change. Lightweight, portable products like YoGen fit right into the military’s focus on giving expensive (and life-threatening) fuel convoys the boot in favor of portable fuel cells and high tech batteries, along with energy that can be scavenged or harvested onsite, including portable solar energy and other sources of low or zero carbon power.

* Analysis by: Michael Lynch
* Analysis of: ERHC Energy Concludes Drilling in Nigeria-Sao Tome and Principe JDZ
* Published at: wwwoilvoice.com
Summary
ERHC Energy Inc announced that Addax Petroleum completed drilling the fifth and final comprehensive exploratory well in the Joint Development Zone Block 4. ERHC has a 19.5% interest in the block. The OKI East well was drilled in 6,800 feet of water to a total depth of 12,600 feet below sea level. An analysis is underway to evaluate the commercial potential of JDZ Blocks 2, 3 and 4. The focus now turns to determination the nature and extent of the hydrocarbons. ERHC has interests in 6 blocks.
Analysis
ERHC began life as Chrome Energy, a Houston-based independent. Later the name was changed to Environmental Remediation Holding Corporation (ERHC). In 2002, the company was notified of its preferential position and was given a mandate by both governments to handle matters related to oil company exploration permits, the territorial dispute between Nigeria and Sao Tome and certain subjects related to various profit sharing contracts that would follow the first licensing round. The initiative apparently was taken by the government of Sao Tome and Principe following the discovery of important deep water oil fields south of the Niger delta. The government came to the conclusion that their waters were equally prospective. This sparked a boundary dispute with Nigeria which was ultimately resolved by the establishment of the Joint Development Zone in which without resolving the boundary dispute the two nations agreed to commence exploration with Nigeria getting a 60% share and Sao Tome and Principe a 40% share. In May of 2006, ERHC has had its ups and downs over the years but now appears set to reap the rewards of a decade of work.. In 2003, the seismic surveying company Western Geco identified 56 structures in Blocks 1-9 of which 17 were identified as prospective. Six "high confidence" prospects in Blocks 1,2 and 4 were assessed as having a potential reserve of 4.5 billion barrels. Basis of the estimate was by volumetric analog with Known discoveries to the north of the JDZ. So the situation today is that five wells have been drilled and logged. apparently good oil shows were obtained since the program went to completion. All indications are that delineation drilling will take place in the near future. While the water is deep, the wells are only about 12,000-13,000 feet deep which greatly reduces capital costs.

Addax hits third gas giant in JDZ campaign
Addax has hit a giant gas find with the third well in the current campaign in the joint development zone between Nigeria and Sao Tome & Principe - adding to the two previous gas finds exclusively revealed in the last issue of AOG.
Senior sources say the Deepwater Pathfinder is thought to have uncovered around 1 Tcf of gas with some liquids, with the Lemba well on Block 3. Pre-drill reserve estimates were put at 184m bbl.

YoGen(R) Innovative Handheld Charger Launches to Grand Acclaim at 2010 International CES
Tuesday, January 12, 2010
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Easy Energy and Fame LLC officially launched the YoGen handheld charger for portable electronics at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this past week in Las Vegas, drawing constant and enthusiastic crowds to their booth, tremendous response from media, buyers, and distributors, and even recognition as a "Best of CES 2010" item by Gadget-Gurus (http://www.gadget-gurus.com/index.php/Best-Of-Lists/Best-of-CES-2010.html).
"The demand for our product was unprecedented," said Alison Morrison, Principle Officer of Fame LLC, the North American manufacturer's representative for Easy Energy. "Retailers wanted products immediately for their shelves, reporters requested YoGens for review and hundreds of individuals wanted to purchase the product right then and there.
"And then, within the 24 hours following the show, we saw an instantaneous spike in online sales through our website," she said. "Clearly, the YoGen is one hot product!"
The 100 percent green, fully-sustainable device that creates levels of charge sufficient to ensure sustained use when a battery runs down, was featured in the Sustainable Products Pavilion and during a product launch news conference highlighted by comments from Morrison, Easy Energy CEO Guy Ofir, and Easy Energy scientist and YoGen inventor Alexander Sromin. YoGen was also featured at ShowStoppers, at the Wynn Hotel & Casino. A complete video of the YoGen launch news conference is available at the YoGen You Tube Channel, www.youtube.com/yogenstore.
YoGen was one of more than 2,500 companies exhibiting at the 2010 CES, the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow, which drew more than 120,000 attendees, and media coverage from across the globe.
Available presently for on-line purchases through www.yogenstore.com and scheduled for global distribution through retail and electronic stores in Second Quarter 2010, YoGen features an unmatched capacity to recharge any small-to-mid-sized personal electronics device by offering the industry's leading ratio of energy output to input. Through repeated pulls on an attached ripcord, similar to the motion of a Yo-Yo, YoGen's internal alternator generates power in to charge everything from cell phones, iPods, PDAs and MP3s to Gameboys, GPS units, cameras and other devices. The alternator interfaces with an energy-efficient electronic stabilizer and transmission to transfer linear kinetic energy through a patch cord from the compact, ergonomically-designed unit to the electronic device.
In addition to YouTube, YoGen can be followed on Twitter at:www.twitter.com/yogencharger and Facebook at www.facebook.com/yogencharger.
