SECURITIES AND BUSINESS INVESTMENTS DIVISION ACTIVITY
Native American Energy Group, Inc. and Raj S. Nanvaan f/k/a Tejbir Singh
?(CRD No. 2801400) Each Fined $100,000
On March 13, 2020, the Banking Commissioner entered an Order Imposing Fine (Docket No. CRF-20-8480-S) against Native American Energy Group, Inc. of 61-43 186th Street, Suite 507, Fresh Meadows, New York 11365. The corporation is a purported development stage company specializing in oil, natural gas and alternative energy systems.
Also on March 13, 2020, the Commissioner entered a separate Order Imposing Fine against Raj S. Nanvaan , the company’s Chief Financial Officer.
The Orders Imposing Fine had been preceded by a January 28, 2020 Order to Cease and Desist, Order to Make Restitution, Notice of Intent to Fine and Notice of Right to Hearing (Docket No. CRF-20-8480-S) which, in addition to naming Native American Energy Group, Inc. and Raj S. Nanvaan as respondents, also named Joseph Gatano D’Arrigo , Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the company, and J.R. Bautista, Jr. , a company consultant. Bautista had been the subject of a January 17, 1990, agency Consent Order based on allegations of unregistered agent activity. That Consent Order resulted in an 18 month bar being imposed against Bautista.
The January 28, 2020 action had alleged that respondents Native American Energy Group, Inc. and Bautista violated Section 36b-16 of the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act by selling unregistered common shares of the company to at least one Connecticut investor. The action had also alleged that all the respondents violated the antifraud provisions in Section 36b-4(a) of the Act by failing to disclose to the affected investor that the investment proceeds were actually being wired out to respondents D’Arrigo, Nanvaan and Bautista rather than being used to invest in oil or gas investments.
Each of the respondents was afforded an opportunity to request a hearing on the allegations in the January 28, 2020 Order to Cease and Desist, Order to Make Restitution and Notice of Intent to Fine. Since respondents Native American Energy Group, Inc. and Nanvaan failed to request a hearing, the Order to Cease and Desist and Order to Make Restitution became permanent as to them on February 16, 2020 and February 23, 2020, respectively.
Similarly, respondents Native American Energy Group, Inc. and Nanvaan did not request a hearing on the Notice of Intent to Fine, and the March 13, 2020 Orders Imposing Fine were therefore entered by default. Finding that Native American Energy Group, Inc., violated Sections 36b-16 and 36b-4(a) of the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act, the Commissioner fined the company $100,000. Likewise, finding that Nanvaan violated the antifraud provisions in Section 36b-4(a) of the Act, the Commissioner imposed a $100,000 fine against Nanvaan.
The matters involving respondents D’Arrigo and Bautista remain pending.

There is a lot of interesting chatter which makes for a good read. Let's be honest. There are still suits showing up of potential fraud. The latest from January of 2020. This is not a clean company, nor has it produced revenues of any significance since operations. They have no bonding or authorizatiuon to produce produce any oil or natural gas in any region for quite some time and all wells are abandoned in Montana and nothing has occurred in Alaska. Mainly all hype with no substance. They have raised millions with no operating outcome. I do not understand the latest press release for it has zero revallence to any business operations. Check out the latest link below for one of the current securities enforcement suits in CT.

Do not know what the cheerleader is basing his optimism on, but in my opinion it is not based in fact but rather fiction, or if he is directly involved with the company which he should disclose or a paid hired gun.
All be safe and healthy and take care of your families.
It has been a year and a half since NAGP being revoked in june of 2017 with no registration filing since then. IMHO RIP
Elvis has left the building!!!
Quick search on the Montana wells either listed as Abandoned-Unapproved or Shut-In. They are not registered with DOE anymore. RIP NAEG
Matter of public record, just because Delaware charges doesn't mean you cannot post. So if you have the copy of the status as you claim that they are active and not void, please post the Certificate that you downloaded from the DOS Delaware.
Okay, you have paid money to get that active status notification. Post the notification.
Quoted from SEC Order of Suspension
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Before the
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
September 14, 2017
"It appears to the Commission that there is a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of Native American Energy Group, Inc.(“NAGP”) (CIK No. 1499501), a void Delaware corporation located in Fresh Meadows, New York with a class of securities because it is delinquent in its periodic filings with the Commission, having not filed any periodic reports since it filed a Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2013"
Understanding Void and Forfeit Status for Delaware Corporations. ... A corporation's charter becomes “void” if it fails to pay its annual franchise taxes or to file a complete annual franchise tax report. If a corporation becomes void, its powers as a corporation become inoperative.
They claim they paid the auditors 9 MONTHS AGO, they have claimed a lot. You still didn't read the post that they haven't maintained the corporation and it is NOW VOID.
Here is the problem with this statement, they have not paid Delaware their franchise fees to be a viable corporation and the corporation is now void. If they cannot pay a small fee to keep the company viable what makes you think they can pay the auditors.
I guess the party is over, time to go home. They even were in void status with Delaware for not paying their annual fees. Too bad. It made for some interesting posts.
100's of barrels, please show me the data that they produce one drop of oil in the last five years, for I can produce such public available data that they have not produced one drop of oil in Montana in the last 5 years!
Why wait, why not just ask management why they abandoned Montana, why they abandoned Alaska, why they sacrificed their bonding, why has Windhaus signed with another entity. These are all material changes that they have not reported. Hence the 8K list of material change. All anyone wants to know if they have a viable business position in any of the ventures that for so many years they touted. Screw the audits, for that is the past, what is in their future and what do they still have that is worth more than the value of the paper.
Let us be realistic, they jetted? certain wells, why have they not produced a drop of oil. Money has been spent with no results. Come to your own conclusions. If there is a positive it is definitely not NAEG Investments for it zero corporate affiliation with NAGP, just 1 common shareholder namely the long lost Raj.
MIC DROP!!
So based on the listing that you have provided, there has been no material change in the company's operation outside the failure to file 10Q's and 10K's. If they entered into any agreement with any party an 8-K is required to be filed. Is that correct?
For the sake of transparency, why don't you call Malone Bailey and ask them if they still represent NAGP and when the audit is estimated to be completed.
Let's keep in perspective as to what was said and promised. In January they said they have signed and paid for full audits to be complete by May 15th. It is my experience that it does not take this amount of time for a small cap company to complete their audits especially one that is currently idle in all operations. Even if there were irregularities, at least some of the 10Q's 10K should be complete by this time. You can read the press release below and come to your own conclusions just by how it is worded.
Native American Energy Group: January 2017 Update
FRESH MEADOWS, NY -- (Marketwired - January 26, 2017) - Native American Energy Group, Inc. (OTC PINK: NAGP) (the "Company") announced that it has taken additional steps to ensure that current and prospective investors will have access to up-to-date periodic reports of the Company -- up to and including the Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for its fiscal first quarter ending March 31, 2017 (the "2017 Q1 Form 10-Q"), by/on May 15th, 2017 (the "filing date") when NAGP will resume financial reporting.
CEO Joseph G. D'Arrigo was mindful to confirm for stockholders that Native American Energy Group has taken these several deliberate steps to cure deficiencies, ensure that current and prospective investors have access to the periodic reports of the Company and to ensure future compliance, stating that "The Company's auditors have now been paid in advance for a large portion of the missing periods and will next week be paid in-full through the December 2016 audit and also up to and including, the January-March 2017 quarter, as well, which is intended to ensure future compliance." Mr. D'Arrigo has also called a board meeting to be held in London, UK with NAGP's financial partners during the first full week in February to finalize the required data. The Company is working diligently in this respect.
As to how realistic is this filing date considering the sheer volume of financial statements being prepared to bring everything current, firstly, there are no foreseeable scheduling conflicts with professional service providers, and the Company's senior management emphasized, in this report, that the entire matter of regaining compliance with all SEC filing requirements, which would include filing an audited Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the "2016 Form 10-K"), now simply depends on how soon the Company's principal accountant, MaloneBailey, LLP ("MaloneBailey") receives all of the financial information in the proper format from the Company.
According to Native American Energy Group's CEO, Joseph D'Arrigo, "MaloneBailey, having been sufficiently compensated for the inclusive period, could possibly find the readiness to have all of NAGP'S periodic reports prepared for us to submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in succession as early as the next regulatory due date, March 31st, 2017, starting with the '2013 Form 10-K' and leaving the 2017 Q1 Form 10-Q to be filed separately on the later due date on its own." This would result in NAGP being considered current as soon as March 31st and then able to resume its regular reporting schedule. That will be left up to the auditors.
Not that this matters since they don't produce anything

Thank you for the post, for it was getting quite nasty when someone with no info on the company disagrees with how this board is operated.
As for currents, lets go through the points
1. Montana is inactive and has not produced any oil or has reported to the state since 9-2012.
http://bogc.dnrc.mt.gov/WebApps/DataMiner/Production/ProductionByWell.aspx
2. Alaska has stalled and there is no bonding in place nor is the a bond in place for Montana
NOTE 6 – SECURITY DEPOSITS from last 10-K/A
The Company had an aggregate of -0- and $50,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, deposited in two financial institutions as collateral for posted surety bonds with various governmental agencies in Alaska and Montana as assurance for possible well-site reclamation, if required. The Company is obligated to maintain a surety bond in conjunction with certain drilling permits. In March 2011 and in September 2012, the Company cancelled two of its oil and gas surety bonds in the aggregate amount $150,000 issued to the Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (“AOGCC”) and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Planning Commission (“Mat-Su Borough”) for its Kircher Unit state and borough drilling permits in Alaska. As a result of the bond terminations, the financial institution returned the $150,000 cash collateral to the Company. In the event that the Company re-applies for the state and borough drilling permits with the AOGCC and the Mat-Su Borough, it will be required to re-post bonds in the amount of $100,000 and $50,000, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company forfeited an $8,590 deposit held as security for its corporate office lease in New York.
3. As for the wind generation Windaus was acquired by another public company so I don't know what the position for NAGP is with that project for they were in default of the original agreement that was modified for missing the payment schedule.
https://www.windstream-inc.com/
4. As for Oklahoma I cant find any well info in their database assigned to NAGP.
This is current knowledge that is available for NAGP not negative not positive just current knowledge.
Now if someone has current information and they have made a point of relating it to this board please post and also identify if you are a promoter to this stock. Either that or you have insider information and promoting so the stock is perceived as a buy. Either way it is time to disclose. The nastiness of this board when someone relates counter info is ridiculous and the moderator has done an excellent job is maintaining this board even with all the insults directed at certain posters.
Just my opinion!!
It is funny that you should bring that site up again. Was just looking at another foreign concern, same boiler plate website. As for substance, there is none, no listing of any ventures they are involved with except just enter a code, load of doodoo. If they were a going concern they would list their ventures openly for that would attract other potentials.
So his question is valid, do you know what their plans are? Or is it just a secret only known to special group of people.
Smoke and mirrors!! I guess you can call this fake news! LMAO!!
Maybe you should do your own DD in fact here is a little hlep for Montana
MBOGC's Online Oil and Gas Information System
http://bogc.dnrc.mt.gov/WebApps/DataMiner/
After you have looked up their production numbers and that they are currently listed as inactive in the state you can educate all of us!
Just out of curiosity and the amount of volume being traded. I did check the Montana Oil and Gas Data Access and they have not reported or produced any oil since september 2012 and are currently being listed as Inactive. So someone who has the ear of the principals should speak up so we all know what is driving this. Otherwise, consider it insider trading and walk away.
135,000 volume on no public information being provided for close to 2 years, no press releases on current standing of progress or future events. Seems a little bit of insider going on here. Red Flags!
On December 30, 2015, the Company issued a press release to inform the public that its board of directors has taken a decision to resume financial reporting by the end of first quarter, 2016. Well it is the end of the first quarter!
We have been all calling him out, most likely a paid presence on this board for SS's zeal is remarkable considering what the actual facts are.
For some of your questions, I just took a little time to do a little definitive DD,
They have no bonding in place to drill anywhere, Montana, Alaska, Native Lands. If you do a little more research, it looks like the Tribes of Fort Peck have been dealing with other entities for quite some time to develop their resources with no mention of NAGP.
As per the Montana Board of Oil and Gas they are listed as an inactive operator.
Have not had a paid employee for quite some time, so I do not even know where their supposed on-staff engineer/geologist is at this time. For all we know, he is not even in Montana.
They have not conformed with Montana rules and regulations pertaining to reporting on the wells that they have since September 2012.
No PR, that is not quiet time, that is just no PR period.
That is just the basic CURRENT info.
Just to let you know, they have 15 days to file after they notify for late filing. Well they have not filed that is why on OTCMarkets they are listed as investor beware for lack of disclosure!!
Nobody quit because nobody is getting paid so all and all you do have to take an educated guess that since they are not getting paid and apparently not selling any shares or just a few, for they all know that the price will collapse, they are working somewhere else to feed their families! So how does that stack up to an operating company SS?
Last reply
So called production was last reported in 2011 4 years ago, even before this so called enhancement project.
Since then 000 nada nothing, no oil from montana no gas from alaska zero.
You keep pointing out that my information is wrong but the posters that have been here from day 1, actual investors into the company, do not believe that I am incorrect or what you called FAKE information. I myself did visit their offices in Forest Hills early in their inception. Not one officer of the company had any oil and gas experience (just an observation). The only one, not an officer but hired gun, is their engineer and you would be hard pressed to find info on him in the public geologists databases, believe me I tried.
Plus, I just gave a credible link on where oil is going, so you may want to believe your own Koolaid...whatever.
I have said it and other posters have said it, post something with meat on it and we will stand up and listen, still then the only posts that you have put up were counter to the absolute truth.
End of story!!
SS - as for oil prices, make your own assumptions after you reviewed this link and video, Oh, it is CNBC
http://www.cnbc.com/2015/08/20/the-oil-bottom-is-in-when-the-handcuffs-come-out.html
lets quibble
Yes test amounts were produced, test being the operative word here not production.
Lets dig since that is 2011
here is something from 2012 10K
NOTE 6 – SECURITY DEPOSITS
The Company had an aggregate of -0- and $50,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, deposited in two financial institutions as collateral for posted surety bonds with various governmental agencies in Alaska and Montana as assurance for possible well-site reclamation, if required. The Company is obligated to maintain a surety bond in conjunction with certain drilling permits. In March 2011 and in September 2012, the Company cancelled two of its oil and gas surety bonds in the aggregate amount $150,000 issued to the Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (“AOGCC”) and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Planning Commission (“Mat-Su Borough”) for its Kircher Unit state and borough drilling permits in Alaska. As a result of the bond terminations, the financial institution returned the $150,000 cash collateral to the Company. In the event that the Company re-applies for the state and borough drilling permits with the AOGCC and the Mat-Su Borough, it will be required to re-post bonds in the amount of $100,000 and $50,000, respectively.
There are no surety bonds in place, therefore no production period.
None of the information is incorrect or misleading, all matter of public record.
As for the stage of where this company is Inception was 2005 that is 10 year ago and guess what still no production.
Show me something that is positive about this company and I will gladly wave a flag!!!
OTC lists them a buyer beware for not filing - NT's are not filing!!!
Now that is good!!
Am I worried...Nah!! As for something useful and interesting, please do tell, for I follow the oil/gas/green tech quite closely and know what most of the new tech is.
For these guys, their supposed enhancement that they used has been around for quite some time, again, nothing special for it was a service agreement they do not own the tech, and AGAIN where is the production?
Vertical wind turbines, developed in 2005 with no market penetration, NAGP was able to sign someone for stock who was hungry to get their tech to market, again nothing new.
Alaska, money spent, corporate intrigue by throwing their Alaskan partner out of his own corporation that they acquired, again no production and for what I hear they have basically lost all credibility in Alaska and with the locals and environmentalists that is a huge undertaking to get your creds back to produce NG!
So please do tell, do you have any info on this company that has not been around for years?
As for effort, I type quite fast so no effort at all!
Let me put my few cents in for I have been following this company since inception and I really like reading the banter:
They have not produced a drop of oil nor have reported to the State of Montana Oil and Gas since September 2012 therefore they are in default of their leases for non-compliance (Public Info if you want to look) and what they supposedly produced was literally test amounts which really was nothing, check the only revenue the company posted.
All bonding has been cancelled not only in Montana but also Alaska and for what I hear the larger bond for the DOI - Department of Indian Affairs is no longer valid.
Who knows where the deal for Windhaus stands (windmills) for they are in default
Look, you want something positive, they actually raised somewhere in the area of 6 to 8 million in equity and debt!
Where are they now, a dead beast for they did not focus on their core business plan of production in Montana and kept on releasing PR for Alaska and windfarms, classic pumping. They are considered toxic for non-reporting by OTCMarkets.
As for the NT filings and not filing after the NT is filed is a definite red flag for investors. There is a time limit they have to file the actual 10Q and/or 10K the delay to file is not perpetual!
Bottom line, with oil prices crashing and expected to go lower and stay at lows it is not even worth it to use their so-called enhanced method of recovery for it will cost too much to extract oil and dispose of any water that is produced.
SS if you have any additional info that might be of actual worth here please post, for we would all like to here it.
To quote you "Not a recommendation; do your own Due Diligence!"
As for trading I agree sometimes you can make the spread but not when there is no volume trading for the company so your referrals to NAGP really don't make any sense because of the lack of trading volume.
One other point, the summer is the big producing time in Montana before the cold weather sets in!! Just an observation!
Again just my two pennys worth!
Plus they haven't reporting any activities to the Montana Oil and Gas Board since September 2012 and have not pumped a single drop of oil and I believe they do not even have a bond in place with Montana anymore. Now that price of oil has tanked below $62 I believe that they are done.
Here is the link to Live Data access for Montana Oil and Gas
http://bogc.dnrc.mt.gov/WebApps/DataMiner/
10k and 10q released simoultaneously....no info has changed, new digs, shared executive office suite, $0 cash in the bank. Still no production being reported.
Same news just a rehash of what they still have not completed. Read the next to last paragraph which I find very telling of the incompetance of this management team.
They have produced little oil in montana in the 6 plus years they have had presence in montana, though they have decided to source additional wells in another state, spent dollars for the Alaska project which is currently dead in the water, and let us not forget about Windhaus, and the general fall of the vertical wind turbine industry with some notable high capitalized companies going bankrupt.
Read the letter and form your own opinions as to the general value and health of the company!
Investors
January 3, 2013
Dear Fellow Shareholders, Business Partners and Friends,
2012 was an important year for Native American Energy Group as we persisted in our efforts to confront and overcome the numerous obstacles that have served to both challenge and fortify our resolve to succeed. The source of this resolve can be credited to our staunch loyalty to our many fellow shareholders who have stood by us through all the adversity and setbacks we’ve encountered over the past several years. We greatly appreciate the unwavering support and trust that you have placed in us – and we intend to continue working very hard to ensure that your faith and confidence in NAGP is handsomely rewarded.
Key Accomplishments in 2012
Removal of DTC Global Lock
Perhaps our most meaningful corporate accomplishment in the past year was securing the removal of the ‘Global Lock’ also known as a ‘DTC Chill,’ imposed on the clearing, trading and settlement of our common shares by the Depository Trust Company. Thanks in large measure to Harvey Kesner, Esq. of the New York law firm Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP, who was retained as special counsel to represent us in this matter, NAGP prevailed in reestablishing full service clearance and settlement privileges with the DTC for our shareholders this past June.
Balance Sheet Enhancements
We also succeeded in notably strengthening our balance sheet through the reduction of over $854,000 in corporate debt in 2012. We achieved this through a series of productive negotiations, which included the settlement of an outstanding liability in the amount of $245,000 which was converted into equity of the Company at a price of $2.00 per share. Additionally, in late April we renegotiated the terms of our Technology License and Distribution Agreement with Windaus Energy originally entered into in February 2007. Pursuant to the amended Agreement, we adjusted the license fee of shares and cash payable to Windaus, decreasing the amount of shares from two million to 100,000; and decreasing the cash portion of the fee from $500,000 to $100,000, of which $30,500 has already been paid. Other creditors have also kindly agreed to work with us, granting us favorable terms to satisfy outstanding payables due them over the coming year.
Settlement of Litigation
NAGP is also very pleased to use this opportunity to share that in the final week of 2012, we finalized a formal Settlement Agreement with High Capital Funding, LLC (HCF) for unpaid principal and interest owed by our Company pursuant to various loans made to it by HCF. Both parties agreed to terms of a Settlement Agreement in an effort to avoid further litigation. In accordance with the Settlement and confirmation of certain share amounts, NAGP will issue a combination of common shares and warrants totaling approximately 2,500,000 common shares on a fully converted basis and remit 35% of Net Revenue proceeds received by Shell or any other purchaser(s) of oil from any of the five existing wells in Montana on a monthly basis until all legal fees, expenses, interest and principal have been paid in full on all outstanding loans.
In consideration for the above and other conditions in the settlement agreement, Native American Energy Group, Inc. and High Capital Funding LLC agreed to jointly execute a Stipulation of Dismissal of the Foreclosure Action and all counterclaims and affirmative defenses alleged by NAGP against HCF with prejudice as settled in full.
Commenting on the Settlement, Frank Hart, Manager of HCF, said, “We are very pleased to have this pending litigation with NAGP behind us, so that we may now all focus on supporting the Company’s enhanced oil recovery program in northeastern Montana and the future value it promises to create for NAGP’s shareholders – among which we are delighted to count ourselves.”
Status of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Program in the Williston Basin in Montana
This past October, we announced that we had completed electrical system repairs and upgrades to surface equipment and subsurface flow-lines at the Wright 5-35 and Beery 2-24 wells.
As a result, the Wright well initially flowed approximately 62 barrels of oil in the first 18 hours and settled at 53 barrels of oil per day. The Beery well flowed between eight to ten barrels of oil per day with no water. Subject to securing necessary financing, we look forward to moving both wells into full commercial production in early 2013. In October, we sold approximately 239 barrels of oil from the Wright lease.
Presuming we prove successful at raising the capital we need to fully implement our Montana enhanced oil recovery program in 2013, the workovers of Beery 2-24, Beery 22-24, Cox 7-1 and Sandvick 1-11 wells will also be completed in the coming year. In fact, notwithstanding any delay with our capital formation plan, it is our goal to have all five wells online and sustaining oil production in the range of 300-400 barrels per day by mid-year.

Update on Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Assets in Cook Inlet, Alaska
In October 2007, our Company was issued the first and only Coal Bed Methane (CBM) drilling permit by the Matanuska-Susitna (“Mat-Su”) Borough Planning Commission for drilling a CBM well in the Mat-Su Valley, an area known for its significant coal reserves larger than those in the prolific Powder River Basin of the United States. The issuance of the Mat-Su drilling permit was followed by the economic downturn and further decline in commodity prices in 2008 which changed the economics and fundability of the project. The permit expired on October 1, 2012. Today, we remain the only applicant that has ever received a CBM drilling permit in the Mat-Su Valley due to the Mat-Su Borough Assembly having adopted some of the strictest regulations for coal bed methane drilling in the United States. In addition, we have been approached by other local government agencies in the Mat-Su Valley that are pro-development of CBM and have the authority to issue drilling permits individually using the same permitting guidelines.
It is very important to note that the price of natural gas in Alaska is typically three to four times the Henry Hub natural gas spot price, which is generally the primary price set for the natural gas market in the lower 48 states.
Natural gas production is in high demand by purchasers in the Mat-Su Valley such as the local gas and electric utilities including the Conoco Phillips LNG plant (“Conoco”) as they export liquefied natural gas to Japan directly from Alaska. Since 2008 and until recently, we have continued to maintain communication with the various prospective purchasers in the Cook Inlet area such as Conoco, Chugach Electric Association Inc. and the Matanuska Electric Association (“MEA”). In addition, MEA is working to build a 180 megawatt natural gas power generation plant as part of its mission of bringing reliable, affordable power to the residents of the Cook Inlet. Construction is proposed to begin 2013 and they expect to be ready for testing by October 2014. MEA expects to begin generating power by January 1, 2015.
As per our discussions with local officials, city governments, landowners, gas purchasers and the various permitting agencies in the region, we are confident that once adequate financing is identified, lease acquisitions and re-permitting can be achieved in an expeditious manner due to our relationships in the region as well as the growing demand and the dwindling supply of natural gas in the region.
Assessing EOR Opportunities in Oklahoma
Since early 2011, we have been pursuing several leasehold interests and joint venture relationships in Northeastern Oklahoma, whereby we can apply the same Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques that showed great results in Montana. The areas we are evaluating have oil & gas wells featuring multiple pay-zones with total well depths averaging 800 feet, which also include coal seams for development of Coal Bed Methane (CBM) gas. From our initial evaluation, we’ve concluded that there are up to four oil & gas pay-zones and as much as two coal seams that are accessible by these wells.
Wells throughout Oklahoma and Kansas are historically known to have longevity in production and we believe are great candidates to introduce new techniques to access more of the underlying reserves that have not been previously tapped. Morever, recently there have been additional discoveries of undeveloped reserves at deeper depths, which we’re confident we can access by drilling deeper into these wells using our Workover Rig and additional field equipment.
In Oklahoma, we’ll be able to further develop all wells using our own equipment which will dramatically lower development costs. Since our well enhancement techniques showed great results at depths exceeding 7,000 feet in Montana, we’re looking forward to the great potential in these shallow depth wells in Oklahoma.
The properties being evaluated are situated on both native and non-native lands in Oklahoma which include, but are not limited to, Tulsa, Osage, Pawnee, Okmulgee, Muscogee, Wagoner and Rogers Counties.
Outlook for 2013 and Beyond
Looking ahead, our views and strategies on the development of our valuable energy assets will remain unchanged in 2013. Our first priority will remain devoted to formulating effective capital formation strategies so that we may, in turn, attain robust, sustainable, positive cash flow from our Montana enhanced oil recovery projects. To fuel our future success, we look forward to advancing our pipeline of new business development opportunities, such as our coal bed methane project in Alaska and the possible workover projects in Oklahoma that we will be carefully investigating over the next several months.
We look forward to providing you with many detailed updates on our progress in 2013 and encourage you to visit our web site (www.nativeamericanenergy.com) often to view our photo and video gallery, where we strive to give you a front row seat to our field operations in Montana.
While we are not perfect and will likely make some mistakes in the years ahead, please know that we will never lose sight of who we are, for what we stand and for whose benefit we ultimately pledge our efforts – our shareholders, our employees and our business partners.
In closing, we’d like to wish you all a very safe, happy and prosperous New Year!
Sincerely,
NATIVE AMERICAN ENERGY GROUP, INC.

Thanks for the concerns, Southern Long Island, street flooded, riding out the storm, still have power ( at least for the time being)...saving grace is alot of my neighbors are also here so we do have some company for a storm party!!!
Out of curiosity I checked continental's reporting for their Bakken fields, and they are current throught 8/2012. So you have to figure about 30 days or less from filing. As I mentioned before, there are a lot of hands in a barrell of oil that need to get paid!!!
You could say that government entities are slow and most likely you are correct except for oil/gas reporting and sales there are quite a few entities that need to be taken care of such as royalties, severence taxes to the government, overriding intrests etc. So from an accounting point of view this info is usually disseminated quite quickly.
Which brings me to another point on the play. Their Net Revenue Interest in wells are never discussed because they have given considerable overriding interests to themselves and early investors. So they may have 100% Working interest but net to the company is significantly lower therefore directly effecting bottoms lines and lining pockets of managment!
