Proper Power and Energy, Inc. (PPWE.OB) is an independent exploration and production company. The Company's operations are in Kentucky, which provides for low risk developmental drilling and production, and Utah, which the Company controls over 11,000 acres for its exploratory prospect. Renowned geophysicist and consultant to Proper Power, Robert Dunbar, believes the Utah prospect could hold up to one billion barrels of recoverable oil.

In addition to economic advancement, crude and product prices relate to a plethora of other factors including weather events, geopolitical risks, inventories, exchange rates, and spare capacity.

The up and down, rise and fall in gasoline and diesel prices over the last few of years shows the changes in the cost of crude oil. Those changes are decided in the global crude oil market by the worldwide need for and supply of crude oil. Weak economic conditions in the U.S. and all over the world in 2008 and into 2009 led to a weaker demand which helped knock prices down. Now, with the worldwide economic recovery, demand is rising again and is helping to catapult prices higher.

PPWE reported that its wholly owned subsidiary, American Resources, Inc. (ARI), has begun production on its 87.5 acres in Western Kentucky.

ARI has completed the re-work on all 4 wells, with those wells online and pumping. "This is an exciting day for us," stated Proper Power President, Andrew Kacic. "This is the beginning of production for Proper Power in Kentucky, and we look forward to increasing our presence."

Many farmers in Kentucky are trading in their tractors and overalls for oil derricks and wildcatting gear. With the price of oil reaching an all time high and the family farm becoming more and more obsolete, the attraction of getting rich by striking oil on the family's back forty is becoming harder and harder to resist. And not without promise, with current geological readings estimating that nearly five billion barrels of oil reserves could be tucked away near Kentucky's famed coal mines of old.
