Business Overview

We are an independent oil and gas company focused on the acquisition, drilling and production of oil and natural gas properties and prospects within the United States. We were founded in May 2016 by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Gary C. Evans, to take advantage of what we believe to be a unique and timely opportunity within the oil and gas industry due to the severe downturn which began in November 2014.

We believe that several key factors have contributed to a favorable landscape whereby there exists significant potential to achieve attractive returns by acquiring and developing oil and natural gas assets in proven basins with limited geological risks. These factors include:

Our business strategy aims to maximize stockholder value through a balanced program of acquisitions and low-risk development and exploitation. We intend to leverage our management team’s long history in the oil and gas industry and operational expertise to identify and acquire ownership interests in producing, proved developed, proved undeveloped, and probable properties with a particular emphasis on distressed assets and smaller acquisition

opportunities not generally known in the marketplace. We will look to target low-risk projects that offer meaningful potential production and reserve growth from stacked pay opportunities, and whenever possible, will seek to serve as operator for the properties in which we acquire interests. The Company will initially concentrate these activities in the Eagle Ford Shale, located in South Texas, and the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. We may also seek to acquire mineral rights in the Marcellus and Utica shale formations primarily located in Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

As of July 31, 2016, our portfolio consisted of approximately 427 gross (400 net) acres located in two separate lease blocks in the heart of the Eagle Ford Shale play overlying the Edwards Trend in Karnes County, Texas. The total acreage position is prospective for both the lower and upper Eagle Ford Shale, as well as the Austin Chalk formation. There are no drilling commitments on this acreage until March 2017. The Company currently owns 93.75% of the working interest in these properties and will be the operator of record on all new wells drilled. We estimate that approximately 14 wells can be drilled in the lower Eagle Ford formation between the two prospects, as well as an additional 10 wells in the upper Eagle Ford formation for a total of 24 potential well locations, excluding the Austin Chalk formation and potential drilling sites therein.

Potential Well Locations⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾

The Eagle Ford Shale is an attractive operating area given its organic-rich source rock, high liquids yields, stacked pay potential and low supply costs. Additionally, we believe management’s extensive operating history and prior success in the Eagle Ford make it an ideal initial target play. Birthed by advancements in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing in 2009, the Eagle Ford Shale has become one of the most prolific liquids producers in the U.S. According to the Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy (the “EIA”), the Eagle Ford Shale is the largest producer of tight oil (oil produced from low-permeability formations, such as shale) in the United States, accounting for 30% of total U.S. tight oil production during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2016. According to monthly production data compiled by the Railroad Commission of Texas, Karnes County, Texas, where all of our current assets are located, is also the top crude oil producing county during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2016 in the State of Texas by volume.

Summary Oil and Natural Gas Data

The following table provides summary information regarding our probable undeveloped reserves as of July 31, 2016, based on a reserve report prepared by NSAI, our independent petroleum engineer, in accordance with the definitions and guidelines set forth in the Petroleum Resources Management System approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, or SPE, and using NYMEX Futures Strip Pricing for the period of 2016-2020, as described in the footnotes to the table below. Estimates of reserves and future net revenue using the SPE definitions and guidelines and NYMEX Futures Strip Pricing differ from estimates prepared in accordance with the definitions and pricing methodology approved by the Commission. See “Business—Sensitivity of Reserves to Prices By Principal Product Type and Price Scenario.”

Management

We believe our management team is in a prime position to take advantage of opportunities within the oil and gas industry and to create value for our stockholders. Our management team has a deep knowledge of the industry and a well-established network of relationships with both public and private oil and gas companies, equity sponsors, lending institutions, landowners, and service providers from which we believe we can generate attractive acquisition opportunities. Our management also has a substantial history operating together as a team.

Gary C. Evans, Chairman & CEO: After serving nine years as a banker concentrating in the energy industry, he founded Magnum Hunter Resources Inc. (“MHRI”) in 1985, and served as Chairman & CEO for 20 years before selling to Cimarex Energy (Symbol: XEC) in 2005, overseeing the growth of a company he started with a $1,000 initial investment into an eventual $2.2 billion enterprise at the time of sale. Most recently he served as Chairman and CEO of Magnum Hunter Resources Corp. (“MHRC”), which he took from $0.35/share upon joining the company in 2009 to $9.16/share at its peak before the crash in commodity prices in 2014 and its eventual plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy Code”) completed in May, 2016. Mr. Evans also founded mid-stream gas gathering company Eureka Hunter Holdings, LLC (now known as Eureka Midstream Holdings) in 2010, which we believe has an approximate current value of over $1.0 billion, and served as CEO of that company until May 2016.

Business Strategy

Exploit Initial Asset Portfolio — We intend to focus on the initial drilling and future development of our properties in the Eagle Ford Shale. As of July 31, 2016, we have approximately 427 gross (400 net) acres and 24 identified potential drilling locations, with current plans to commence initial drilling efforts in late 2016 upon completion of this offering. This includes six potential locations in the lower Eagle Ford associated with our probable undeveloped reserves as of July 31, 2016.

Leverage Acquisition Pipeline — We intend to opportunistically acquire additional acreage and reserves. We believe we can leverage our management’s extensive industry network and operational expertise to identify and execute on many opportunities before they are generally available to industry competitors.

Focus on Assets that are Currently Economic — We plan to focus on acquisitions and low-risk horizontal development opportunities within the regions that continue to generate exceptional returns even in today’s lower commodity price environment.

Seek Out Smaller Acreage Blocks — Due to the recent downturn in the industry, the larger firms with better access to capital have been the recent acquirers of larger acreage blocks. Because of scale, these bigger firms have been interested in purchasing large, contiguous blocks of acreage as opposed to smaller unique opportunities. We believe this has led to significant price increases for properly situated lease acreage within larger blocks versus smaller blocks where there is less competition, even if the resource economics per acre are similar. The Company will target buying these smaller parcels where we believe the price per acre is attractive relative to larger acreage packages.

Purchase Mineral Rights Underlying Familiar Properties — We will seek to purchase mineral rights underneath acreage in the Marcellus Formation in West Virginia and Ohio held by MHRC. Our management team is very familiar with these properties. Following its recent reorganization, we expect MHRC, or its successor, will eventually actively drill these regions, where MHRC holds a significant leasehold acreage position in both West Virginia and Ohio.

Maintain Operating Control — We believe that operatorship provides the ability to maximize the value of our assets by allowing our experienced management team to control the timing of drilling expenditures, manage operational costs and enhance production volumes. Other than with respect to mineral interests we may acquire underneath the Marcellus acreage held by MHRC, we will, whenever possible, seek to serve as operator for the properties in which we acquire interests.

Employ State of the Art Technologies — We intend to utilize advanced technologies that should allow us to enhance our drilling and completion performance. Our technical team continually reviews the most current technologies and will apply those to our reserve base for the effective development of our project inventory. Our technical team intends to leverage management’s prior experience in the Eagle Ford and other unconventional plays, by using horizontal drilling and advanced frac completion methods in order to maximize value and return on investment.

Maintain Conservatively Capitalized Balance Sheet with Strong Liquidity Position — After giving effect to this offering, we will have approximately $    million of cash on the balance sheet. We have no debt. We currently intend to maintain a conservative approach to capitalizing our business and feel our lack of leverage will provide us a significant advantage in the current market environment.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following strengths will help us achieve our business goals:

Experienced and Incentivized Management Team — With decades of experience, our management team has a proven track record of building and operating businesses focused on the development and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties. We believe our team’s deep knowledge of the major resource plays and operational expertise provides us with a distinct competitive advantage. Additionally, our management’s extensive industry network provides us with access to top-tier industry partners, land owners and financial sponsors to help us identify and execute on attractive opportunities not generally known by others. Members of our senior management team have a significant economic interest in us, which will provide us a meaningful incentive to increase the value of our business for the benefit of all stockholders.

Attractive Initial Acreage Position — All of our current acreage is located in Karnes County, Texas along the Edwards Trend in the heart of the Eagle Ford Shale play. According to monthly production data compiled by the Railroad Commission of Texas, Karnes County is the top crude oil producing county in the State of Texas by volume. The Eagle Ford Shale play overlying the Edwards Trend is currently one of the most prolific liquids producers and currently generates some of the best economics in the Eagle Ford, even at recent commodity prices. Our assets provide development opportunities in a relatively mature, well-understood shale trend (as compared to other unconventional resource plays).

Stacked Pay Opportunities — We have identified 24 potential undeveloped horizontal drilling locations across our acreage position prospective for both the lower and upper Eagle Ford Shale formations, which includes six potential locations in the Lower Eagle Ford associated with our probable undeveloped reserves as of July 31, 2016. The lower Eagle Ford is approximately 185 feet thick with an average net pay thickness of 155 feet. The upper Eagle Ford is 67 feet thick with approximately 38 feet of net pay thickness. We also see the potential for additional locations in the Austin Chalk, which has yet to be evaluated by NSAI or our management.

Proven Horizontal Drilling Expertise and Technical Acumen in the Eagle Ford — Management has previously had success acquiring, developing, operating, and producing acreage in the region as well as others. Several members of our management team were integral in the grass roots development of an Eagle Ford project located just one county over from our current acreage position. Members of our team were key decision-makers at MHRC in growing an initial 2,000-net acre package into a 19,000-net acre asset through their knowledge of the specific land and geology, and relationships with landowners throughout the area. Ultimately, this asset produced 14,260 gross/5,277 net BOE/D at peak production for MHRC and was subsequently sold to a competitor.

Recent Events

Karnes County Leasehold Acquisitions

In July 2016, we closed on an acquisition of two separate lease blocks totaling approximately 427 gross (400 net) undeveloped acres located in the heart of the Eagle Ford Shale play overlying the Edwards Trend in Karnes County, Texas. The cost of the acquisition was $1,070,000. The total acreage position is prospective for both the lower and upper Eagle Ford Shale, as well as the Austin Chalk formation. There are no drilling commitments on this acreage until March 2017. The Company currently owns 93.75% of the working interest in these properties and will be the operator of record on all new wells drilled.

Implications of Being an “Emerging Growth Company”

As an issuer with less than $1 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:

We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under §107 of the JOBS Act.

Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that we may also qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under the Commission’s rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on our assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. Furthermore, under current Commission rules we will continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company” for so long as we have a public float (i.e., the market value of common equity held by non-affiliates) of less than $75 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

THE OFFERING

Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this Offering Circular regarding outstanding shares of our Common Stock reflects a 1-for-5.7 reverse split of our outstanding shares of Common Stock effective as of December 1, 2016. This reverse split does not increase or decrease (a) the total number of authorized shares of our Common Stock or (b) the par value of each share of Common Stock.

Unless otherwise indicated, the information presented in this Offering Circular assumes that the underwriters’ over-allotment option will not be exercised.

We currently intend to use up to $34.0 million of the net proceeds from this offering to fund our 2016 and 2017 capital expenditures on existing assets, including the drilling, development, and completion of initial wells on our Karnes County, Texas acreage. Additionally, we may use a portion of the proceeds to acquire additional acreage leaseholds, acquire additional producing properties and associated leaseholds, or for general corporate purposes.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included or referred to in this Offering Circular, before purchasing shares of our Common Stock. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or not presently deemed material by us might also impair our operations and performance. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Common Stock, if a trading market develops, could decline and investors in our Common Stock could lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Related to our Company

We will require substantial additional capital in order to achieve commercial success and, if necessary, to finance future losses from operations as we endeavor to build our asset and revenue base, but we do not have any commitments to obtain such capital and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain adequate capital as and when required.

The business of oil and gas acquisition, drilling and development is very capital intensive and the level of operations attainable by an oil and gas company is directly linked to and limited by the amount of available capital. We believe that cash generated from oil and gas operations will not be sufficient to allow us to achieve our growth and other business objectives. Our ability to achieve commercial success and our continued growth will be dependent on our continued access to capital either through the additional sale of our equity securities, project financing, or joint ventures. Future equity financings may be dilutive to our stockholders and may involve preferred stock that has preferences or rights superior to our Common Stock. Project financings may involve a pledge of assets, and any debt we may incur will rank senior to our Common Stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital from external sources, or enter into joint ventures or strategic partnerships, on satisfactory terms subsequent to this offering. Failure to raise additional capital subsequent to this offering, on favorable terms or at all, will have a material adverse effect on our development plans and operations and will likely cause us to curtail our planned operations.

We do not have a significant operating history and, as a result, there is a limited amount of information about us on which to base an investment decision.

In considering whether to invest in our Common Stock, you should consider that there is only limited historical financial and operating information available on which to base your evaluation of our performance. The Company was formed in May 2016 and, as a result, although our management team has significant experience in our industry, we have limited financial and operating information available.

We face challenges and uncertainties in financial planning as a result of the unavailability of historical data and uncertainties regarding the nature, scope and results of future activities. We may not be successful in implementing business strategies or in completing the development of the infrastructure necessary to conduct business as planned. In the event that our development plan is not completed or is delayed, operating results will be adversely affected and operations will differ materially from currently anticipated activities. As a result of industry factors or factors relating specifically to us, we may have to change our method of conducting business, which may cause a material adverse effect on results of operations and financial condition.

We have no proved reserves, and drilling operations may not yield any oil or natural gas in commercial quantities or quality. We intend to grow our business in part through the acquisition and development of additional exploratory oil and gas prospects, which is a highly risky method of establishing oil and gas reserves.

To date, we have acquired only approximately 427 gross (400 net) acres of prospective oil and gas properties. The estimated reserves on these properties consist of approximately 2,377.3 MBOE of oil and natural gas, all of which are classified as probable undeveloped reserves. Substantial exploration and development efforts will be required to establish the presence of proved reserves on these properties, and such efforts may not be successful. Moreover, we intend to grow our business by acquiring, drilling and developing additional exploratory oil and gas prospects, in addition to opportunistic acquisitions of producing properties or properties containing proved developed or proved undeveloped reserves that we believe have the potential for profitable production. Developing exploratory oil and gas properties requires significant capital expenditures and involves a high degree of financial risk. The budgeted costs of drilling, completing, and operating exploratory wells are often exceeded and can increase significantly when drilling costs rise. Drilling may be unsuccessful for many reasons, including title problems, unexpected drilling

conditions, weather conditions, delays by project participants, compliance with governmental requirements, shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment and services, cost overruns, and mechanical difficulties. Moreover, the successful drilling or completion of an exploratory oil or gas well does not ensure a profit on investment. Exploratory wells bear a much greater risk of loss than development wells. We cannot assure you that any of the wells we drill will be productive or that we will recover all or any portion of our investment. If we are unable to successfully acquire and develop exploratory oil and gas prospects, our results of operations, financial condition and stock price will be materially adversely affected.

We may not act as an operator on many of our future prospects, which means we will be dependent on third parties for the exploration, development and production of any such leasehold interests.

An oil and gas operator is the party that takes primary responsibility for management of the day-to-day exploration, development and production activity relating to an oil and gas prospect. Part of our business strategy is to acquire operating interests in oil and natural gas properties whenever feasible. We will not always be able to do so. We anticipate that an industry partner will function as the operator for many of the oil and natural gas properties we acquire in the future. Our reliance on third party operators for the exploration, development and production of property interests subjects us to a number of risks, including our inability to control the amount and timing of costs and expenses of exploration, development and production and the risk that we may not be able to properly control the timing and quality of work conducted with respect to our projects.

We have limited management and staff and may be more dependent upon partnering arrangements.

As of December 1, 2016, we have seven employees, including our executive officers. We intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services, including reservoir engineering, accounting, land, legal, environmental and tax services. We also intend to pursue alliances with partners in the areas of geological and geophysical services and prospect generation, evaluation and prospect leasing. Our planned dependence on third party consultants and service providers creates a number of risks, including but not limited to:

If we experience significant delays in obtaining the services of such third parties or poor performance by such parties, our results of operations and stock price may be materially adversely affected.

The loss of any of our executive officers could adversely affect us.

We currently have only seven employees, including our five executive officers. We are dependent on the extensive experience of our executive officers to implement our acquisition and growth strategy. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers could have a negative impact on our operations and our ability to implement our business plan.

Our success is dependent on the prices of oil and natural gas. Low oil or natural gas prices and the substantial volatility in these prices may adversely affect our financial condition and ability to meet certain capital expenditure requirements and financial obligations.

The prices we will receive for oil and natural gas will heavily influence our revenue, profitability, cash flow available for capital expenditures and access to new capital and future rate of growth. Oil and natural gas are commodities and, therefore, their prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile, and prices have declined significantly in recent periods. For example, during the period from January 1, 2014 through August 31, 2016, the WTI spot price for oil declined from a high of $107.62 per Bbl on July 23, 2014 to $26.21 per Bbl on February 11, 2016, and the Henry Hub spot price for natural gas declined from a high of $7.92 per MMBtu on March 4, 2014 to a low of $1.49 per MMBtu on March 4, 2016. We believe that these markets will likely continue to be volatile in the future. The prices received for production, and the levels of production, depend on numerous factors. These factors include the following:

In the second half of 2014, oil prices began a rapid and significant decline as the global oil supply began to outpace demand. During 2015 and thus far in 2016, the global oil supply has continued to outpace demand, resulting in a sustained decline in realized prices for oil production. In general, this imbalance between supply and demand reflects the significant supply growth achieved in the United States as a result of shale drilling and oil production increases by certain other countries, including Russia and Saudi Arabia, as part of an effort to retain market share, combined with only modest demand growth in the United States and less-than-expected demand in other parts of the world, particularly in Europe and China. Although there has been a dramatic decrease in drilling activity in the industry, oil storage levels in the United States remain at historically high levels. Until supply and demand balance and the overhang in storage levels begins to decline, prices are expected to remain under pressure. In addition, the lifting of economic sanctions on Iran has resulted in increasing supplies of oil from Iran, adding further downward pressure to oil prices. Prices for domestic natural gas began to decline during the third quarter of 2014 and have continued to be weak throughout 2015 and thus far in 2016. The declines in natural gas prices are primarily due to a significant imbalance between supply and demand across North America. The duration and magnitude of the commodity price declines cannot be accurately predicted.

Lower oil and natural gas prices will reduce our future cash flows, borrowing ability and the present value of estimated reserves. Exploration, development and exploitation projects require substantial capital expenditures, and, if prices are lower, we may be unable to obtain needed capital or financing on satisfactory terms, which could lead to expiration of leases or a decline in oil and natural gas reserves. Lower oil and natural gas prices may also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically and may affect any estimated proved reserves we are ultimately able to establish. The present value of future net revenues from estimated proved reserves will not necessarily be the same as the current market value of estimated oil and natural gas reserves.

Drilling for oil and natural gas is a speculative activity and involves numerous risks and substantial and uncertain costs that could adversely affect us.

Our success will depend on the success of our drilling program. There is no way to predict in advance of drilling and testing whether any particular prospect will yield oil or natural gas in sufficient quantities to recover drilling or completion costs or to be economically viable. The use of seismic data and other technologies and the study of producing fields in the same area will not enable us to know conclusively prior to drilling whether oil or natural gas

will be present or, if present, whether oil or natural gas will be present in commercial quantities. We cannot assure you that the analogies drawn from available data from other wells, more fully explored prospects or producing fields will be applicable to current drilling prospects.

The budgeted costs of planning, drilling, completing and operating wells are often exceeded and such costs can increase significantly due to various complications that may arise during the drilling and operating processes. Before a well is spud, we may incur significant geological and geophysical (seismic) costs, which are incurred regardless of whether a well eventually produces commercial quantities of hydrocarbons, or is drilled at all. Exploration wells endure a much greater risk of loss than development wells. The analogies drawn from available data from other wells, more fully explored locations or producing fields may not be applicable to current drilling locations. If actual drilling and development costs are significantly more than the current estimated costs, we may not be able to continue operations as proposed and could be forced to modify drilling plans accordingly. Drilling for oil and natural gas involves numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil or natural gas reservoirs will be discovered. The cost of drilling, completing, and operating wells is substantial and uncertain, and drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed, or canceled as a result of a variety of factors beyond our control, including:

We may purchase oil and natural gas properties with liabilities or risks that we do not know about or that we do not assess correctly, and, as a result, could be subject to liabilities that could adversely affect results of operations.

Before acquiring oil and natural gas properties, we estimate the reserves, future oil and natural gas prices, and operating costs. We also review land records which affect ownership, potential environmental liabilities and other factors relating to the properties. However, this review involves many assumptions and estimates, and their accuracy is inherently uncertain. As a result, we may not discover all existing or potential problems associated with the properties being purchased. We may not become sufficiently familiar with the properties to assess fully the deficiencies and capabilities. We do not generally perform inspections on every well or property, and therefore may not be able to observe mechanical and environmental problems even when an inspection is conducted. The seller may not be willing or financially able to give contractual protection against any identified problems, and we may decide to assume land, environmental and other liabilities in connection with properties acquired. If we acquire properties with risks or liabilities that were unknown or not assessed correctly, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected as claims are settled and cleanup costs related to these liabilities are incurred.

Our reserve estimates depend, and our future reserve estimates will depend, on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate. Any material inaccuracies in our reserve estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect the quantities and present value of our reserves.

The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is complex. It requires interpretations of available technical data and many assumptions, including assumptions relating to economic factors. Any significant inaccuracies in these interpretations or assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantities and the calculation of the present value of reserves shown in these estimates.

In order to prepare reserve estimates in our reports, we will typically engage an independent petroleum consultant. The consultant will need to project production rates and timing of development expenditures. Our independent petroleum consultants will also analyze available geological, geophysical, production and engineering data. The extent, quality and reliability of this data can vary and may not be in our control. The process also requires economic assumptions about matters such as oil and natural gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. Therefore, estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are inherently imprecise.

Actual future production, oil and natural gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves will most likely vary from our estimates. Any significant

variance could materially affect the estimated quantities and present value of our reserves. In addition, our independent petroleum consultants may adjust estimates of proved reserves to reflect production history, drilling results, prevailing oil and natural gas prices and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

The marketability of our future production is dependent upon oil and natural gas gathering and transportation facilities owned and operated by third parties, and the unavailability of satisfactory oil and natural gas transportation arrangements would have a material adverse effect on revenue.

The unavailability of satisfactory oil and natural gas transportation arrangements may hinder our access to oil and natural gas markets or delay production from wells. The availability of a ready market for our oil and natural gas production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for, and supply of, oil and natural gas and the proximity of estimated reserves to pipelines and terminal facilities. Our ability to market production depends in substantial part on the quality of our oil and gas production, availability and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities owned and operated by third parties. Failure to obtain these services on acceptable terms could materially harm our business. As a result, we may be required to shut in wells for lack of a market or because of inadequacy or unavailability of pipeline or gathering system capacity. If that were to occur, we would be unable to realize revenue from those wells until arrangements were made to deliver production to market. Furthermore, if we were required to shut in wells we might also be obligated to pay shut-in royalties to certain mineral interest owners in order to maintain our leases. The disruption of third party facilities due to maintenance and/or weather could negatively impact our ability to market and deliver our products. These third parties may control when or if such facilities are restored and what prices will be charged.

Hedging transactions may limit our potential gains or result in losses.

In order to manage our exposure to price risks in the marketing of our oil and natural gas, we intend from time to time to enter into financial oil and gas price hedging arrangements with respect to a portion of our future proved, developed-producing production. While these contracts are intended to reduce the effects of volatile oil and natural gas prices, they may also limit our potential gains if oil and natural gas prices were to rise substantially over the price established by the contract. In addition, such transactions may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances in which:

We cannot assure you that any financial hedging transactions we may enter into will adequately protect us from declines in the prices of oil and natural gas. On the other hand, where we choose not to engage in hedging transactions in the future, we may be more adversely affected by adverse changes in oil and natural gas prices than our competitors who engage in hedging transactions. In addition, the counterparties under our derivatives contracts may fail to fulfill their contractual obligations to us.

We may have difficulty managing growth in our business, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are a start-up company with few assets and very limited operating history. We will have to grow significantly to achieve our business plan. If we are able to achieve significant growth in the size and scope of our operations, that could place a strain on our financial, technical, operational and management resources. The failure to continue to upgrade our technical, administrative, operating and financial control systems or the occurrences of unexpected expansion difficulties, including the failure to recruit and retain experienced managers, geologists, engineers and other professionals in the oil and gas industry, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to timely execute our business plans.

We are exposed to operating hazards and uninsured risks. Our operations are subject to the risks inherent in the oil and natural gas industry, including the risks of:

These events may result in substantial losses to us from:

As is customary in our industry, we intend to maintain insurance against some, but not all, of these risks. We cannot assure you that our insurance will be adequate to cover these losses or liabilities. We do not intend to carry business interruption insurance. Losses and liabilities arising from uninsured or underinsured events may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.

The producing wells in which we will have an interest may occasionally experience reduced or terminated production. These curtailments can result from mechanical failures, contract terms, pipeline and processing plant interruptions, market conditions and weather conditions. These curtailments can last from a few days to many months.

Risks Relating to the Oil and Gas Industry

Our industry is highly competitive, which may adversely affect our performance, including our ability to participate in ready-to-drill prospects in our core areas.

We operate in a highly competitive environment. In addition to capital, the principal resources necessary for the exploration and production of oil and natural gas are:

We must compete for such resources with both major oil and natural gas companies and independent operators. Many of these competitors have financial and other resources substantially greater than ours. We cannot assure you that such materials and resources will be available when needed. If we are unable to access material and resources when needed, we risk suffering a number of adverse consequences, including:

We are subject to numerous laws and regulations that can adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of doing business.

Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the exploration, production and sale of oil and natural gas, and operating safety. Future laws or regulations, any adverse change in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations or our failure to comply with existing legal requirements may result in substantial penalties and harm to our business, results of operations and financial condition. We may be required to make large and unanticipated capital expenditures to comply with governmental regulations, such as:

Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for:

Our operations could be significantly delayed or curtailed and our cost of operations could significantly increase as a result of regulatory requirements or restrictions. We are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our operations. It is also possible that a portion of our oil and gas properties could be subject to eminent domain proceedings or other government takings for which we may not be adequately compensated.

Our operations may incur substantial expenses and resulting liabilities from compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Our oil and natural gas operations are subject to stringent federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the release or disposal of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws and regulations:

Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in:

Changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently and any changes that result in more stringent or costly waste handling, including water disposal, storage, transport, disposal or cleanup requirements could require us to make significant expenditures to reach and maintain compliance and may otherwise have a material adverse effect on our industry in general and on our own results of operations, competitive position or financial condition. Under these environmental laws and regulations, we could be held strictly liable for the removal or remediation of previously released materials or property contamination. This could occur regardless of whether we were responsible for the release or contamination or if our operations met previous standards in the industry at the time they were performed. Our permits will require that we report any incidents that cause or could cause environmental damages.

The unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, hydraulic fracturing equipment and crews, or oil field equipment, supplies or personnel could adversely affect our ability to execute our exploration and development plans.

The oil and gas industry is cyclical and, from time to time, there are shortages of drilling rigs, hydraulic fracturing equipment and crews, and oil field equipment, supplies or qualified personnel. During these periods, the costs of rigs, equipment and supplies may increase substantially and their availability may be limited. In addition, the demand for, and wage rates of qualified personnel, including drilling rig or hydraulic fracturing crews, may rise as the number of rigs in service increases. If drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or qualified personnel are unavailable to us due to excessive costs or demand or otherwise, our ability to execute our exploration and development plans and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operations, could be materially and adversely affected.

Current water regulation relating to hydraulic fracturing, particularly water source and groundwater regulation, could result in increased operational costs, operating restrictions and delays.

Hydraulic fracturing uses large amounts of water. It can require between three to five million gallons of water per horizontal well. We may face regulatory concerns in both the sourcing and the disposal of water used in hydraulic fracturing. In addition, hydraulic fracturing produces water that must be treated and disposed of in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

First, as to sourcing water for hydraulic fracturing, we will need to secure water from the local water supply or make alternative arrangements. In order to source water from the local water supply for hydraulic fracturing, we may need to pay premium rates and be subject to a lower priority if the local area becomes subject to water restrictions. We may also seek water from alternative providers supporting the hydraulic fracturing industry. If we have an insufficient water supply, we may be unable to engage in hydraulic fracturing until such supply is located.

Second, hydraulic fracturing produces water that must be treated and disposed of in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Environmental regulations governing the withdrawal, storage and use of surface water or groundwater necessary for hydraulic fracturing may increase operating costs and cause delays, interruptions or termination of operations, the extent of which cannot be predicted, all of which could have an adverse effect on operations and financial performance. Our ability to remove and dispose of water will affect production, and the cost of water treatment and disposal may affect our ability to achieve or maintain profitability. The imposition of new environmental initiatives and regulations could also include restrictions on our ability to conduct hydraulic fracturing or disposal of produced water, drilling fluids and other substances associated with the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas.

Federal and state legislation and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays.

Hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of water, sand or other propping agents and chemicals under pressure into rock formations to stimulate hydrocarbon production. We intend to routinely use hydraulic fracturing to produce commercial quantities of oil, liquids and natural gas. Sponsors of bills before the Senate and House of Representatives have asserted that chemicals used in the fracturing process could adversely affect drinking water supplies. Such legislation, if adopted, could increase the possibility of litigation and establish an additional level of regulation at both the federal and state levels that could lead to operational delays or increased operating costs and could, and in all likelihood would, result in additional regulatory burdens, making it more difficult to perform hydraulic fracturing operations and increasing our costs of compliance. Moreover, the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) is conducting a comprehensive research study on the potential adverse impacts that hydraulic fracturing may have on drinking water and groundwater. Consequently, even if federal legislation is not adopted soon or at all, the results of the hydraulic fracturing study by the EPA, or the results of other similar studies, could spur further action at a later date towards federal legislation and regulation of hydraulic fracturing or similar production operations.

In addition, a number of states or local municipalities are considering or have implemented more stringent regulatory requirements applicable to fracturing, which could include a moratorium on drilling and effectively prohibit further production of oil, liquids or natural gas through the use of hydraulic fracturing or similar operations.

The adoption of new laws or regulations imposing reporting obligations on, or otherwise limiting, the hydraulic fracturing process could make it more difficult to complete oil and natural gas wells. In addition, if hydraulic fracturing becomes regulated at the federal level as a result of federal legislation or regulatory initiatives by the EPA, fracturing activities could become subject to additional permitting requirements, and also to attendant permitting delays and potential increases in cost, which could adversely affect business and results of operations.

Proposed tax and other legislation may materially impact our financial performance.

On February 9, 2016, the Obama Administration released its 2017 Budget Proposal. Targeted tax changes include: (i) a $10.25 per barrel tax on crude oil; (ii) increases in the oil spill liability trust fund financing; (iii) reinstatement of superfund taxes; (iv) the elimination of certain fossil fuel tax preferences, such as the enhanced oil recovery credit, the credit for oil and gas produced from marginal wells, expensing of intangible drilling costs, the deduction for tertiary injectants, percentage depletion for oil and natural gas wells, and the domestic manufacturing deduction for oil and natural gas production; and (v) increasing the geological and geophysical amortization period for independent producers to seven years. It is unclear whether these or similar changes will be enacted and, if enacted, how soon any such changes could become effective. Any of these proposed, or similar, changes, if enacted by Congress, could have a material impact on our financial performance and negatively impact the value of an investment in our Common Stock.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock

There has been no public market for our Common Stock prior to this offering, and an active market in which investors can resell their shares may not develop.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock. We cannot predict the extent to which an active market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained after this offering, or how the development of such a market might affect the market price of our Common Stock. The initial offering price of our Common Stock in this offering has been agreed to between us and the underwriters based on a number of factors, including market conditions in effect around the time of this offering, and it may not be in any way indicative of the price at which our shares of Common Stock will trade following the completion of this offering. Even if a trading market develops, investors may not be able to resell their shares of Common Stock at or above the initial offering price.

We do not anticipate an immediate market for our shares.

We have not yet obtained an exchange listing or an over-the-counter quotation, which are pre-requisites to liquidity for our Common Stock. We have applied to have our Common Stock listed on the NASDAQ, but there is no assurance that this exchange will approve our Common Stock for listing.

Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer beneficially owns a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant influence over matters subject to stockholder approval.

As of the date of this Offering Circular, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer beneficially owns 50% of our outstanding Common Stock and may continue to own more than 9% after the offering. See “Principal Stockholders.” Therefore, he will have the ability to influence us through this ownership position. Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer may be able to significantly affect matters requiring stockholder approval, including elections of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and approval of any merger, sale of assets, or other major corporate transaction. This may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our Common Stock that you may believe are in your best interest as one of our stockholders.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering.

You will incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of our Common Stock in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $10.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this Offering Circular, and after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, investors in this offering can expect an immediate dilution of $2.09 per share. See “Dilution.”

We may not be able to satisfy listing requirements of the NASDAQ to maintain a listing of our Common Stock.

If our Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we fail to meet any of the NASDAQ’s listing standards, our Common Stock may be delisted. In addition, our board may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our Common Stock from the NASDAQ may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our Common Stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our Common Stock. In addition, the delisting of our Common Stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, if we issue $1 billion or more in non-convertible debt during a three-year period, or if our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion. We would cease to be an emerging growth company on the last day of the fiscal year following the date of the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities under an effective registration statement or a fiscal year in which we have $1 billion in gross revenues (note that the offering of Common Stock pursuant to this Offering Circular will not result in the sale of securities under an effective registration statement). Finally, at any time we may choose to opt-out of the emerging growth company reporting requirements. If we choose to opt out, we will be unable to opt back in to being an emerging growth company. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

The market price of our Common Stock may be volatile.

If we obtain an exchange listing for our Common Stock, the trading price of the stock and the price at which we may sell stock in the future are subject to large fluctuations in response to any of the following:

We do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock.

We do not intend pay dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

Provisions of Delaware law may delay or prevent transactions that would benefit stockholders.

The Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) contains provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company. Because of these provisions, persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals may be more likely to negotiate with our board of directors rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. As a result, these provisions may make it more difficult for our stockholders to benefit from transactions that are opposed by an incumbent board of directors.

We may issue shares of preferred stock that could adversely affect holders of shares of Common Stock.

Our board of directors has the power, without stockholder approval and subject to the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to set the terms of any classes or series of shares of stock that may be issued, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion features, preferences over shares of our Common Stock with respect to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the business. If we issue shares of preferred stock in the future that have a preference over shares of Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or if we issue shares of preferred stock with voting rights that dilute the voting power of shares of Common Stock, the rights of holders of Common Stock or the trading price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected.

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our Common Stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which could rank senior to our Common Stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our Common Stock.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon a potential bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our Common Stock. Because our decision to issue debt securities in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our Common Stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return they may be able to achieve from an investment in our Common Stock.

If our shares of Common Stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

The Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price per share of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not obtain or retain a listing on the NASDAQ and if the price of our Common Stock is less than $5.00 per share, our Common Stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before effecting a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, before effecting any such transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our Common Stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. The FINRA requirements may make it more difficult for

broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our Common Stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our Common Stock.

Our management has broad discretion as to the use of certain of the net proceeds from this offering.

We currently intend to use up to $34.0 million of the net proceeds from this offering to fund our 2016 and 2017 capital expenditures on existing assets, including the drilling, development, and completion of initial wells on our Karnes County, Texas acreage. Additionally, we may use a portion of the proceeds to acquire additional acreage leaseholds, acquire additional producing properties and associated leaseholds, or for general corporate purposes. However, we cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of such proceeds. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds designated to fund our 2016 and 2017 capital expenditures on existing assets owned, acquire additional acreage leaseholds, acquire additional producing properties and associated leaseholds, or for general corporate purposes, which is subject to change in the future. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of these proceeds. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this offering in ways that holders of our Common Stock may not desire or that may not yield a significant return or any return at all. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may also invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. Please see “Use of Proceeds” below for more information.

If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our Common Stock may decline.

As a public company, we would be required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal control. Further, we will be required to report any changes in internal controls on a quarterly basis. In addition, we would be required to furnish a report by management on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will design, implement, and test the internal controls over financial reporting required to comply with these obligations. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting when required, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of the Common Stock could be negatively affected. We also could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which the securities are listed, the Commission, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

As an emerging growth company, our auditor is not required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls.

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting while we are an emerging growth company. This means that the effectiveness of our financial operations may differ from our peer companies in that they may be required to obtain independent registered public accounting firm attestations as to the effectiveness of their internal controls over financial reporting and we are not. While our management will be required to attest to internal control over financial reporting and we will be required to detail changes to our internal controls on a quarterly basis, we cannot provide assurance that the independent registered public accounting firm’s review process in assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, if obtained, would not find one or more material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Further, once we cease to be an emerging growth company we will be subject to independent registered public accounting firm attestation regarding the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Even if management finds such controls to be effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may decline to attest to the effectiveness of such internal controls and issue a qualified report.

We believe we will be considered a smaller reporting company and will be exempt from certain disclosure requirements, which could make our Common Stock less attractive to potential investors.

Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act defines a “smaller reporting company” as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent that is not a smaller reporting company and that:

As a smaller reporting company, we will not be required and may not include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in our proxy statements; we will provide only two years of financial statements; and we need not provide the table of selected financial data. We also will have other “scaled” disclosure requirements that are less comprehensive than issuers that are not smaller reporting companies which could make our Common Stock less attractive to potential investors, which could make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares.

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.

As a public company, and particularly if at some point in the future we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of the NASDAQ and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to compliance with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the timing of such costs.

We are taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

We will pay U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate tax rate, which is currently a maximum of 35%, and will pay state and local income tax at varying rates. Distributions will generally be taxed again as corporate dividends (to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits), and no income, gains, losses, deductions, or credits will flow through to you. In addition, changes in current state law may subject us to additional entity-level taxation by individual states. Because of state budget deficits and other reasons, several states are evaluating ways to subject corporations to additional forms of taxation. We will be subject to a material amount of entity-level taxation, which will result in a material reduction in the anticipated cash flow and after-tax return to our shareholders.

A non-U.S. holder of our Common Stock will be treated as having income that is “effectively connected” with a United States trade or business upon the sale or disposition of our Common Stock unless (i) our Common Stock is regularly traded on an established securities market and (ii) the non-U.S. holder owned not more than 5% of our Common Stock during the applicable testing period.

A non-U.S. holder of our Common Stock generally will incur U.S. Federal income tax on any gain realized upon a sale or other disposition of our Common Stock to the extent our Common Stock constitutes a “United States real

property interest,” or USRPI, under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, or FIRPTA. A USRPI includes stock in a “United States real property holding corporation.” We are, and expect to continue to be for the foreseeable future, a “United States real property holding corporation.”

Under FIRPTA, a non-U.S. holder is taxed on any gain realized upon a sale or other disposition of a USRPI as if such gain were “effectively connected” with a United States trade or business of the non-U.S. holder. A non-U.S. holder thus will be taxed on such a gain at the same graduated rates generally applicable to U.S. persons. In addition, a non-U.S. holder would have to file a U.S. federal income tax return reporting that gain. A non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation and not entitled to treaty relief or exemption also may be subject to the 30% branch profits tax on such gain.

However, if our Common Stock becomes regularly traded on an established securities market, then gain realized upon a sale or other disposition of our Common Stock will not be treated as gain from the sale of a USRPI, as long as the non-U.S. holder did not own more than 5% of our Common Stock at any time during the five-year period preceding the sale or other disposition or, if shorter, the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for its shares of our Common Stock. At this time, we generally expect our Common Stock will be regularly traded on an established securities market, and so gain realized upon a sale or other disposition of our Common Stock will not be treated as gain from the sale of a USRPI, as long as the non-U.S. holder did not own more than 5% of our Common Stock at any time during the applicable testing period. However, in the event that our Common Stock is not regularly traded on an established securities market, then gain recognized by a non-U.S. holder upon a sale or other disposition of our Common Stock will be subject to tax under FIRPTA.

The tax treatment of corporations or an investment in our Common Stock could be subject to potential legislative, judicial or administrative changes and differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis.

The present U.S. federal income tax treatment of corporations, including us, or an investment in our Common Stock, may be modified by administrative, legislative or judicial interpretation at any time. For example, from time to time, members of Congress and the President propose and consider substantive changes to the existing U.S. federal income tax laws that affect corporations. Any modification to the U.S. federal income tax laws and interpretations thereof may or may not be retroactively applied and could make it more difficult or impossible to meet our cash flow needs for operations, acquisitions or other purposes. We are unable to predict whether any of these changes or other proposals will be enacted. However, it is possible that a change in law could affect us, and any such changes could negatively impact the value of an investment in our Common Stock.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Offering Circular, including any supplement to this Offering Circular, includes “forward-looking statements.” To the extent that the information presented in this Offering Circular discusses financial projections, information or expectations about our business plans, results of operations, products or markets, or otherwise makes statements about future events, such statements are forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “should”, “may”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects”, “forecasts”, “expects”, “plans” and “proposes”. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These include, among others, the cautionary statements in the “Risk Factors” section and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section in this Offering Circular.

Forward-looking statements may include statements about:

We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the development, production, gathering and sale of oil and natural gas. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, inflation, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures and the other risks described under “Risk Factors” in this Offering Circular. The forward-looking statements are also subject to risks and uncertainties specific to our company, including but not limited to the fact that we are a recently-organized corporation with very limited operating history, no current revenue and no properties that have yet been developed into producing oil or natural gas properties, limited management and other staff, and other risks related to our company described under “Risk Factors”.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant,

such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Offering Circular occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Offering Circular are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Offering Circular.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid, and do not anticipate declaring or paying, any cash dividends to holders of our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance our operations and the growth of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon then-existing conditions, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, investment opportunities, statutory restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We expect to receive approximately $39.05 million of net proceeds (assuming the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this Offering Circular) from the sale of the Common Stock offered hereby after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of approximately $1.2 million payable by us.

We currently intend to use up to $34.0 million of the net proceeds to fund our 2016 and 2017 capital expenditures on existing assets, including the drilling, development, and completion of initial wells on our Karnes County, Texas acreage. Additionally, we may use a portion of the proceeds to acquire additional acreage leaseholds, acquire additional producing properties and associated leaseholds, or for general corporate purposes. Such allocation of net proceeds may be subject to future revision depending on, among other factors, market conditions, commodity prices, drilling costs and availability of drilling and production equipment, future operating results, and acquisition opportunities.

A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this Offering Circular, would cause the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, received by us to increase or decrease, respectively, by approximately $4.02 million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this Offering Circular, remains the same. If the proceeds increase due to a higher initial public offering price, we would use the additional net proceeds to fund our 2016 and 2017 capital expenditures as outlined above or for general corporate purposes. If the proceeds decrease due to a lower initial public offering price, then we would first reduce by a corresponding amount the net proceeds directed to general corporate purposes and then, if necessary, the net proceeds directed towards additional acquisitions.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiations between us and the representatives of the underwriters. In determining the initial public offering price, we and the representatives of the underwriters expect to consider a number of factors including:

Neither we nor the underwriters can assure investors that an active trading market will develop for the shares of our Common Stock, or that the shares will trade in the public market at or above the initial public offering price. See “Underwriting” for additional information regarding our arrangement with our underwriters.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our cash and capitalization as of July 15, 2016 on:

The actual and as-adjusted information in the table below gives effect to a 1-for-5.7 reverse split of our outstanding Common Stock effective as of December 1, 2016. This reverse split does not increase or decrease (a) the authorized shares of our Common Stock or (b) the par value of each share of Common Stock.

The as-adjusted information below is illustrative only, and our capitalization following the closing of this offering will be adjusted based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at the time of pricing as well as our actual expenses. You should read this table together with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

DILUTION

Purchasers of our Common Stock in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value (tangible assets less total liabilities) per share of our Common Stock for accounting purposes. Our net tangible book value as of July 15, 2016 was approximately $3.04 million, or $3.07 per share, based on 991,228 shares outstanding.

Pro forma net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our net tangible book value, or total tangible assets less total liabilities, by our shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding immediately prior to the closing of this offering on a pro forma basis giving effect to the issuance after July 15, 2016 of 8,771 additional shares of Common Stock for $50,000 in the private offering we completed in July 2016. As of July 15, 2016, we had a pro forma net tangible book value of $3.09 million or $3.09 per share based on 1,000,000 shares outstanding on a pro forma basis. Assuming an initial public offering price of $10.00 per share (which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this Offering Circular), after giving effect to the sale of the shares in this offering and further assuming the receipt of the estimated net proceeds (after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us), our adjusted pro forma net tangible book value as of July 15, 2016 would have been approximately $42.1 million, or $7.91 per share. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $4.82 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution to new investors purchasing shares in this offering of $2.09 per share, resulting from the difference between the offering price and the pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value after this offering. The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors purchasing shares in this offering:

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this Offering Circular, would increase (decrease) our as-adjusted pro forma net tangible book value per share after the offering by $0.76 and decrease (increase) the dilution to new investors in this offering by $0.76 per share, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this Offering Circular, remains the same, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The following table summarizes, as of July 15, 2016, on the adjusted pro forma basis described above, the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by existing stockholders and to be owned by new investors at $10.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this Offering Circular, and the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid by our existing stockholders and to be paid by new investors in this offering at $10.00, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this Offering Circular, calculated before deduction of estimated underwriting discounts and commissions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, whose actual outcomes involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those stated in or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Offering Circular..

Overview

We are an independent oil and gas company focused on the acquisition, drilling and production of oil and natural gas properties and prospects within the United States. We were founded as a Delaware corporation in May 2016 by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Gary C. Evans, to take advantage of what we believe to be a unique and timely opportunity within the oil and gas industry due to the severe downturn which began in 2014. During the period from January 1, 2014 through August 31, 2016, the WTI spot price for oil has declined from a high of $107.62 per Bbl on July 23, 2014 to $26.21 per Bbl on February 11, 2016, and the Henry Hub spot price for natural gas has declined from a high of $7.92 per MMBtu on March 4, 2014 to a low of $1.49 per MMBtu on March 4, 2016.

Market Conditions

The oil and gas industry is cyclical and commodity prices are highly volatile. In the second half of 2014, oil prices began a rapid and significant decline as the global oil supply began to outpace demand. During 2015 and thus far in 2016, the global oil supply has continued to outpace demand, resulting in a sustained decline in realized prices for oil production. In general, this imbalance between supply and demand reflects the significant supply growth achieved in the United States as a result of shale drilling and oil production increases by certain other countries, including Russia and Saudi Arabia, as part of an effort to retain market share, combined with only modest demand growth in the United States and less-than-expected demand in other parts of the world, particularly in Europe and China. Although there has been a dramatic decrease in drilling activity in the industry, oil storage levels in the United States remain at historically high levels. Until supply and demand balance and the overhang in storage levels begins to decline, prices are expected to remain under pressure. In addition, the lifting of economic sanctions on Iran has resulted in increasing supplies of oil from Iran, adding further downward pressure to oil prices. Prices for domestic natural gas began to decline during the third quarter of 2014 and have continued to be weak throughout 2015 and thus far in 2016. The declines in natural gas prices are primarily due to an imbalance between supply and demand across North America. The duration and magnitude of the commodity price declines cannot be accurately predicted.

Our Properties

In July 2016, we closed on an acquisition of two separate lease blocks totaling approximately 427 gross (400 net) undeveloped acres located in the heart of the Eagle Ford Shale play overlying the Edwards Trend in Karnes County, Texas. The cost of the acquisition was approximately $1,070,000. The total acreage position is prospective for both the lower and upper Eagle Ford Shale, as well as the Austin Chalk formation. The estimated reserves for these properties consist of approximately 2,377.3 MBoe of oil and natural gas, all of which are located in the lower Eagle Ford and are classified as probable undeveloped reserves. There are no drilling commitments on this acreage until March 2017. The Company currently owns 93.75% of the working interest in these properties and will be the operator of record on all new wells drilled.

Results of Operations

Our operations to date have been limited. We were incorporated on May 11, 2016. In July 2016, we completed an exempt offering of Common Stock under Regulation D pursuant to which we raised $3,200,000, including $50,000 of proceeds received after July 15, 2016, the date of our audited financial statements. Using a portion of the net proceeds of our Regulation D offering, in July 2016, we closed on our acquisition of two separate lease blocks totaling approximately 427 gross (400 net) undeveloped acres in the Eagle Ford Shale play for $1,070,000.

Outside of these formative transactions, we are in the exploratory stage of development and have not commenced any drilling operations. As of December 1, 2016, we have seven employees, all of whom are focused primarily on start-up operations and development of our unproved leaseholds and identifying future acquisitions. Substantial exploration and development efforts will be required to establish the presence of proved reserves on these properties. The success of this offering will dictate our future drilling program, which we currently plan to commence early in 2017.

As of the date of this offering, we have no oil and gas production and no revenues.

From inception through July 15, 2016, the date of our audited financials, we incurred $108,672 in general and administrative expenses.

Capital Requirements and Sources of Liquidity

Background

Our exploration, development and acquisition activities will require us to make significant operating and capital expenditures. The amount and allocation of future capital expenditures will depend upon a number of factors, including the number and size of acquisition opportunities, our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, and our ability to assimilate acquisitions and execute our drilling program. We will periodically review our capital expenditure budget to assess changes in current and projected cash flows, acquisition activities, debt requirements, and other factors. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us or finance the capital expenditures necessary to develop our production or proved reserves.

Based upon current oil and natural gas price expectations for the remainder of 2016 and 2017, following the closing of this offering, we believe that the proceeds from this offering and our eventual cash flow from operations will provide us with sufficient liquidity to execute our planned capital program. However, future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including our ability to establish or acquire proved reserves or producing properties, the success of our exploration and development efforts, the level of oil and natural gas production and prices in the market, and many other risks of operating in the oil and gas industry, and we will be required to make significant additional capital expenditures to more fully develop our properties. We cannot assure you that operating and other needed capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. In the event we make additional acquisitions and the amount of capital required is greater than the amount we have available for acquisitions at that time, we could be required to reduce the expected level of capital expenditures and/or seek additional capital. If we require additional capital for that or other reasons, we may seek such capital through joint venture partnerships, production payment financings, traditional reserve base borrowings, public or private offerings of debt and equity securities or other means. We cannot assure you that needed capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to curtail our planned drilling program, which could impede our growth plans and result in a loss of acreage through lease expirations. In addition, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us or finance the capital expenditures necessary to develop our production or increase or replace our reserves.

Founder Shares

In May 2016, we issued 438,596 shares of Common Stock for $250.00 to our Chief Executive Officer Gary C. Evans as founder shares. At the time of issuance this represented 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock sold at par value, prior to giving effect to a 1-for-5.7 reverse split of shares of our outstanding Common Stock as of December 1, 2016. This reverse split does not increase or descrease (a) the total number of authorized shares of our Common Stock or (b) the par value of each share of Common Stock.

Regulation D Offering

In July 2016, we completed a private offering under Regulation D under which we issued 561,403 shares of Common Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,200,000. We had sold 552,632 of such shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,150,000 as of July 15, 2016, the date of our audited financial statements. In each case, the share numbers reflect giving effect to a 1-for-5.7 reverse split of shares of our Common Stock as of December 1, 2016.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our historical financial condition and results of operations for the period presented may not be comparable to our financial condition and results of operations for future periods, for the following reasons:

Public Company Expenses

Upon completion of this offering, we expect to incur direct, incremental general and administrative expenses as a result of being a publicly traded company, including, but not limited to, increased scope of our operations and costs associated with hiring new personnel, implementation of compensation programs that are competitive with our public

company peer group, annual and quarterly reports to shareholders, tax return preparation, independent registered public accounting firm fees, investor relations activities, registrar and transfer agent fees, incremental director and officer liability insurance costs and independent director compensation. These direct, incremental general and administrative expenses are not included in our historical results of operations.

Organizational Costs and Expenses

We were incorporated on May 11, 2016. Therefore, 2016 is our first year of operations and it is only a partial year of operations during which we incurred start-up and other one-time organizational costs and expenses.

Increased Drilling Activity

We expect to begin drilling operations at the end of 2016 following this offering. The amount and timing of the capital expenditures related to drilling activity is largely discretionary and within our control. We could choose to defer a portion of these planned capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the success of this offering, the success of our drilling activities, prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and natural gas, the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital, the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals, seasonal conditions, drilling and acquisition costs and the level of participation by other interest owners.

Internal Controls and Procedures

We are not currently required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. Upon becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which will require our management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We will not be required to make our first assessment of our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 until our first annual report subsequent to our ceasing to be an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act.

Inflation

Inflation in the United States has been relatively low in recent years. Although the impact of inflation has been insignificant in recent years, it is still a factor in the United States economy and we may experience inflationary pressure on the cost of oilfield services and equipment if, as a result of future increases in oil and natural gas prices, drilling activity increases in our areas of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Currently, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk, including the effects of adverse changes in commodity prices and interest rates as described below. The primary objective of the following information is to provide quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil and natural gas prices and interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses.

Commodity Price Risk

Our major market risk exposure is in the pricing that we will receive for our oil and natural gas production. Pricing for oil and natural gas has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and this volatility is expected to continue in the future. The prices we will receive in the future for our oil and natural gas production will depend on many factors outside of our control, such as the strength of the global economy.

In addition to calculating our probable undeveloped reserve estimates as of July 31, 2016 using Commission definitions and SEC Pricing, NSAI also produced a report using the definitions and guidelines set forth in the Petroleum Resources Management System appoved by SPE and NYMEX Futures Strip Pricing for the period of

2016-2020 as a sensitivity analysis in calculating future net revenues. This report was prepared at our request to assess commodity price risk as well as for a comparison to the historically low period of oil and gas prices captured in the reserve report using the Commission’s required pricing methodology. See “Business—Oil and Natural Gas Data.” A copy of our independent petroleum engineer’s reserve report containing its estimate of our net probable undeveloped reserves and future net revenues therefrom using SPE definitions and NYMEX Futures Strip Pricing as of July 31, 2016 is included as Annex C to this Offering Circular.

The oil and gas prices applied by NSAI in the sensitivity analysis were based on a NYMEX Futures Strip price deck as quoted on June 30, 2016 and provided below.

Sensitivity Analysis - NYMEX Futures Strip Pricing

Sensitivity Analysis

Gross revenue is our share of the gross (100 percent) revenue from the properties prior to any deductions. Future net revenue set forth in the sensitivity analysis table above is after deductions for our share of production taxes, ad valorem taxes, capital costs, abandonment costs, and operating expenses but before consideration of any income taxes.

NSAI estimated a declining operating cost schedule due to decreasing produced water volumes and changes in artificial lift method as wells mature. NSAI estimated operating costs based on the following per-well schedule:

At our request, operating costs are intended to be limited to direct lease and field-level costs and our estimate of the portion of our headquarters’ general and administrative overhead expenses necessary to operate the properties. Operating costs are divided into per-well costs and per-unit of production costs and are not escalated for inflation.

Capital costs used by NSAI were provided by us and are based on authorizations for expenditure. Capital costs are included as required for new development wells and production equipment, and are estimated to average $5,625,000 per well. Based on NSAI’s understanding of our future development plans, a review of the records which we provided

to NSAI, and NSAI’s knowledge of similar properties, NSAI regards these estimated capital costs to be reasonable. Abandonment costs were estimated at $75,000 per well. Abandonment costs were our estimates of the costs to abandon the wells and the production facilities, and are net of any salvage value. Capital costs and abandonment costs are not escalated for inflation.

Uncertainties are inherent in estimating quantities of probable undeveloped reserves, including many risk factors beyond our control. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating subsurface accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and the interpretation thereof. As a result, estimates by different engineers often vary, sometimes significantly. In addition, physical factors such as the results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimates, as well as economic factors such as change in product prices, may require revision of such estimates. Accordingly, oil and natural gas quantities ultimately recovered will vary from reserve estimates.

To reduce the impact of fluctuations in oil prices on our revenues, in the future, we may periodically enter into commodity derivative contracts with respect to certain of our potential future oil production through various transactions that limit the downside of future prices received. Future transactions may include price swaps whereby we will receive a fixed price for our production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty. Additionally, we may enter into collars, whereby we receive the excess, if any, of the fixed floor over the floating rate or pay the excess, if any, of the floating rate over the fixed ceiling price. These hedging activities are intended to support oil prices at targeted levels and to manage our exposure to oil price fluctuations.

Counterparty and Customer Credit Risk

Any derivative contracts we may enter into will expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by a counterparty to that contract. We will evaluate the credit standing of such counterparties as we may deem appropriate at the time we enter into such a contract. This evaluation may include reviewing a counterparty’s credit rating and latest financial information.

Our principal exposure to credit risk will be through receivables resulting from the eventual sale of our oil and natural gas future production. The inability or failure of our significant customers to meet their obligations to us or their insolvency or liquidation may adversely affect our financial results.

Interest Rate Risk

Currently, we do not have any outstanding credit facility or debt securities and are not directly subjected to interest rate risk. We may in the future incur indebtedness. At such time, we will become subject to interest rate risk.

Subsequent Events

On November 29, 2016, the board of directors authorized a one-for-5.7 reverse split of the shares of our Common Stock outstanding on December 1, 2016, to be effective as of December 1, 2016 (the “Stock Split”). On November 30, 2016, the shareholders approved the filing of an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which, among other things, will effect the Stock Split. We expect to file the amended and restated certificate of incorporation prior to the date of the pricing of this offering.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties and that could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Accounting policies are considered to be critical if (1) the nature of the estimates and assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change, and (2) the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating performance is material. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Financial Statements in this Offering Circular.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all cash and highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Concentrations and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash accounts. We maintain deposits primarily in one financial institution, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). We have not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.

Investment

Investment in common stock in which we hold less than a 20% voting interest and on which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Under the cost method, an investor recognizes an investment in the stock of an investee as an asset and measured initially at cost. Subsequently, an investor recognizes as income dividends received that are distributed from earnings since the date of acquisition. A cost method investment is reviewed for impairment if factors indicate that a decrease in value of the investment has occurred. As of July 15, 2016, there was no impairment indicator on the cost of our cost method investment in the post-reorganization equity of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation of $250,000.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

We follow the successful efforts method of accounting for our oil and gas properties. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties and to drill and equip new development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to acquire mineral interests and drill exploratory wells are also capitalized pending determination of whether the wells have proved reserves or not. These capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. Proceeds from sales of properties will be credited to property costs, and a gain or loss will be recognized when a significant portion of an amortization base is sold or abandoned. As of July 15, 2016, all properties were unproved and no drilling operations had begun.

Exploration costs, including geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals, will be charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs, including the cost of stratigraphic test wells, will be initially capitalized but will be charged to exploration expense if the well is determined to be nonproductive at that time. The determination of an exploratory well's ability to produce must be made within one year from the completion of drilling activities. The acquisition costs of unproved acreage are initially capitalized and are carried at cost, net of accumulated impairment provisions, until such leases are transferred to proved properties or charged to exploration expense as impairments of unproved properties.

Provision for Depreciation, Depletion & Amortization (“DD&A”)

We will compute the provision for DD&A of oil and natural gas properties using the unit-of-production method. Proved acquisition costs will be depleted based on total proved reserves while well costs will be depleted based on proved developed reserves. Reserve estimates are expected to have a significant impact on the DD&A rate. Our properties are unproved and drilling has not yet begun, therefore, we have no production; however, when proved reserves are established through future drilling or otherwise acquired, these disclosures are expected to be material to our financial statements.

Impairment of Unproved Properties

Quarterly, we will review our unproved oil and gas properties to determine if there has been, in our judgment, impairment in value of each prospect that we consider individually significant. To the extent that the carrying cost of a prospect exceeds its estimated fair value, we will make a provision for impairment of unproved properties, and will record the provision as abandonments and impairments within exploration costs on our statement of operations. If the value is revised upward in a future period, we will not reverse the prior provision, and will continue to carry the prospect at a net cost that is lower than its estimated value. If the value is revised downward in a future period, an additional provision for impairment will be made in that period. We recently acquired the majority of our unproved properties and, therefore, no impairment was recorded as of July 15, 2016.

Oil and Gas Reserves

Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of a reserve estimate depends on the quality of available geological and engineering data, the precision of and the interpretation of that data, and judgment based on experience and training. Annually, we will engage one or more independent petroleum engineering firms to evaluate oil and gas reserves. All of our properties are currently unproved and drilling has not yet begun, however, when drilling begins and reserves are discovered, these disclosures are expected to be material to our financial statements.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We will record a liability relating to the plugging, abandonment and remediation of our properties at the end of their productive lives. We will compute our liability for asset retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated future cash flows related to each property. This will require us to use significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive lives of wells and our risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligations.

Asset retirement obligations are recorded as a liability at the estimated present value at the asset's inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties in the accompanying balance sheet which is amortized to expense over the useful life of the asset. Periodic accretion of the discount on asset retirement obligations is recorded as an expense. All of our properties are unproved, therefore, we do not currently have any legal abandonment obligations. When drilling begins, however, these disclosures are expected to be material to our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

When future production revenues are generated, we will utilize the sales method of accounting for our natural gas, crude oil and NGL revenues, whereby revenue will be recorded based on our share of volumes sold, regardless of whether we have taken our proportional share of volumes produced. A payable liability will be recognized only to the extent that we have a gas imbalance on a specific property greater than the expected remaining proved reserves.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three-tiered hierarchy is summarized as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of accounts payable approximates the carrying amount due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Our non-financial asset required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis consists principally of our investment in common stock. We designated our investment in common stock, which is initially recorded at cost, as Level 3 as it involves significant unobservable inputs.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates will be recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize the

effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement will be reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax asset (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.

We will be subject to the Texas margin tax on our gross margin once we begin to generate revenue.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which requires an entity to recognize revenue representing the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is intended to establish principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2018. Early application is only permitted as of January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12 (“ASU 2014-12”), “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period,” which requires a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. ASU 2014-12 states that the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12 clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2016. The Company does not currently expect adoption of ASU 2014-12 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 (“ASU 2014-15”), “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 provides GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16 (“ASU 2014-16”), “Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815).” ASU 2014-16 addresses whether the host contract in a hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of share should be accounted for as debt or equity. ASU 2014-16 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-16 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 (“ASU 2015-03”), “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discounts, instead of being presented as an asset. ASU 2015-03 is effective for us on January 1, 2016. Once adopted, entities are required to apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The retrospective application represents a change in accounting principle. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-03 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07 (“2015-07”), “Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2015-07 removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain

disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 is effective for us on January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-07 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16 (“ASU 2015-16”), “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”. The update requires that the acquirer in a business combination recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined (not retrospectively as with prior guidance). Additionally, the acquirer must record in the same period’s financial statements the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization or other income effects as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the time of acquisition. The acquiring entity is required to disclose, on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes to the financial statements, the portion of the amount recorded in current period earnings, by financial statement line item, that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for us on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB has issued an update to ASU No. 2015-17 (“ASU 2015-17”) “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.” The update requires a company to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The update of ASU 2015-17 is effective for us on January 1, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of the update of ASU 2015-17 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 (“ASU 2016-01”), “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10)”. ASU 2016-01 updates certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-01 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02), “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for us on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06 (“ASU 2016-06”), “Contingent Put and Call Option in Debt Instruments”. ASU 2016-06 is intended to simplify the analysis of embedded derivatives for debt instruments that contain contingent put or call options. The amendments in ASU 2016-06 clarify that an entity is required to assess the embedded call or put options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. Consequently, when a call (put) option is contingently exercisable, an entity does not have to initially assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise a call (put) option is related to interest rates or credit risks. The amendments in ASU 2016-06 take effect for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-01 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

BUSINESS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

Overview

We are an independent oil and gas company focused on the acquisition, drilling and production of oil and natural gas properties and prospects within the United States. We were founded as a Delaware corporation in May 2016 by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Gary C. Evans, to take advantage of what we believe to be a unique and timely opportunity within the oil and gas industry due to the severe downturn which began in November 2014.

We believe that several key factors have contributed to a favorable landscape whereby there exists significant potential to achieve attractive returns by acquiring and developing oil and natural gas assets in proven basins with limited geological risks. These factors include:

Our business strategy is designed to maximize stockholder value through a balanced program of acquisitions and low-risk development and exploitation. We intend to leverage our management team’s long history in the oil and gas industry and operational expertise to identify and acquire ownership interests in producing, proved developed, proved undeveloped and probable properties with a particular emphasis on distressed assets and smaller acquisition opportunities not generally known in the marketplace. We will look to target low-risk projects that offer meaningful potential production and reserve growth from stacked pay opportunities, and whenever possible, will seek to serve as operator for the properties in which we acquire interests. The Company will initially concentrate these activities in the Eagle Ford Shale, located in South Texas, and the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. We may also seek to acquire mineral rights in the Marcellus and Utica shale formations primarily located in Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

As of July 31, 2016, our portfolio consisted of approximately 427 gross (400 net) acres located in two separate lease blocks in the heart of the Eagle Ford Shale overlying the Edwards Trend in Karnes County, Texas. The total acreage position is prospective for both the lower and upper Eagle Ford Shale, as well as the Austin Chalk formation. There are no drilling commitments on this acreage until March 2017. The Company currently owns 93.75% of the working interest in these properties (which will decrease to 87.5% on the initial six wells drilled after payout) and will be the operator of record on all new wells drilled. We estimate that approximately 14 wells can be drilled in the lower Eagle Ford formation between the two prospects, as well as an additional 10 wells in the upper Eagle Ford formation for a total of 24 potential well locations, excluding the Austin Chalk formation and potential drilling sites therein. These 24 potential well locations include six potential locations in the lower Eagle Ford associated with our probable undeveloped reserves as of July 31, 2016.

Potential Well Locations⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾

The Eagle Ford Shale is an attractive operating area given its organic-rich source rock, high liquids yields, stacked pay potential and low supply costs. Additionally, we believe management’s extensive operating history and prior success in the Eagle Ford make it an ideal initial target play. Birthed by advancements in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing in 2009, the Eagle Ford Shale has become one of the most prolific liquids producers in the U.S. According to the EIA, the Eagle Ford Shale is the largest producer of tight oil (oil produced from low-permeability formations, such as shale) in the United States, accounting for 30% of total U.S. tight oil production during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2016. Karnes County, Texas, where all of our current assets are located, is also, according to monthly production data compiled by the Railroad Commission of Texas, the top crude oil producing county in the State of Texas by volume, for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2016.

Oil and Natural Gas Data

Evaluation and Review of Probable Undeveloped Reserves. Our probable undeveloped reserve estimates as of July 31, 2016 were prepared by NSAI, our independent petroleum engineer. Within NSAI the technical person primarily responsible for preparing the estimates presented herein meets the requirements regarding qualifications, independence, objectivity, and confidentiality set forth in the SPE Standards. Neil H. Little, a Licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Texas, has been practicing consulting petroleum engineering at NSAI since 2011 and has over nine years of prior industry experience. NSAI are independent petroleum engineers, geologists, geophysicists, and petrophysicists; they do not own an interest in these properties nor are they employed on a contingent basis. Copies of the independent petroleum engineer’s reserve reports as of July 31, 2016 are included as Annex B and Annex C to this Offering Circular.

We have internal geologists and geoscience professionals who worked closely with our independent petroleum engineer to ensure the integrity, accuracy and timeliness of the data used to calculate our probable undeveloped reserves relating to our assets in the Eagle Ford Shale. Our internal technical team members met with our independent

petroleum engineer to discuss the assumptions and methods used in the probable undeveloped reserve estimation process. We provided information to NSAI for our properties, such as ownership interest, commodity prices and operating and development costs. Kip Ferguson, Executive Vice President Exploration/Development, is primarily responsible for overseeing the preparation of all of our reserve estimates. Mr. Ferguson has more than 25 years of exploration and development experience in many of the major U.S. basins. His professional qualifications meet or exceed the qualifications of reserve estimators and auditors set forth in the “Standards Pertaining to Estimation and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information” promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Mr. Ferguson reports directly to our Chief Executive Officer.

Estimation of Probable Undeveloped Reserves. Under Commission rules, Probable Reserves are those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but are those unproved reserves which analysis suggests are more likely than not to be recoverable. In this context, when deterministic methods are used, it is as likely as not that actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves. Our probable undeveloped reserve estimates as of July 31, 2016, as prepared by NSAI, were estimated using deterministic methods. Estimates of Probable Reserves are less certain than estimates of proved reserves and are subject to substantially greater risk of not actually being realized. Probable Reserves include probable developed reserves and probable undeveloped reserves. Our Probable Reserves are probable undeveloped reserves, as described below (Summary of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves).

Uncertainties are inherent in estimating quantities of probable undeveloped reserves, including many risk factors beyond our control. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating subsurface accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and the interpretation thereof. As a result, estimates by different engineers often vary, sometimes significantly. In addition, physical factors such as the results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimates, as well as economic factors such as changes in product prices, often require revision of such estimates. Accordingly, oil and natural gas quantities ultimately recovered will vary from reserve estimates.

For a discussion of the uncertainties associated with estimates of Probable Reserves, see “Risk Factors— Our reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate. Any material inaccuracies in our reserve estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect the quantities and present value of our reserves.”

Under Commission rules, more likely than not probability can be established using techniques that have been proven effective by actual production from projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir or by other evidence using reliable technology that establishes such probability. Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that have been field tested and have been demonstrated to provide such results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation. To establish more likely than not probability with respect to our probable undeveloped reserves, the technologies and economic data used in the estimation of our probable undeveloped reserves have been demonstrated to yield results with consistency and repeatability, and include, local and regional production and test data, geologic data, and historical well cost and operating expense data.

Summary of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves. The following table presents our estimated net probable undeveloped oil and natural gas reserves as of July 31, 2016, based on the reserve report dated October 20, 2016 by NSAI, our independent petroleum engineer, prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission. A copy of such probable undeveloped reserve report dated October 20, 2016 prepared by NSAI with respect to our properties is included as Annex B to this Offering Circular. All of our probable undeveloped reserves are located in the United States. We have no Proved Reserves or probable developed reserves.

Pricing Based Upon Commission Rules

Sensitivity of Reserves to Prices By Principal Product Type and Price Scenario

In addition to calculating our probable undeveloped reserve estimates as of July 31, 2016 using Commission definitions and SEC Pricing, NSAI also produced a report using the definitions and guidelines set forth in the Petroleum Resources Management System approved by the SPE and NYMEX Futures Strip Pricing for the period of 2016-2020 as a sensitivity analysis in calculating probable undeveloped reserves and future net revenues. This report was prepared at our request as a comparison to the historically low period of oil and gas prices captured in the reserve report using SEC Pricing. A copy of our independent petroleum engineer’s reserve report containing its estimate of our net probable undeveloped reserves and future net revenues and the present value therefrom using SPE definitions and NYMEX Futures Strip Pricing dated November 14, 2016 is included as Annex C to this Offering Circular.

The oil and gas prices applied by NSAI in the sensitivity analysis were based on a NYMEX Futures Strip price deck as quoted on June 30, 2016 and provided below.

Sensitivity Analysis - NYMEX Futures Strip Pricing

Sensitivity Analysis

Gross revenue is our share of the gross (100 percent) revenue from the properties prior to any deductions. Future net revenue set forth in the sensitivity analysis table above is after deductions for our share of production taxes, ad valorem taxes, capital costs, abandonment costs, and operating expenses but before consideration of any income taxes.

NSAI estimated a declining operating cost schedule due to decreasing produced water volumes and changes in artificial lift method as wells mature. NSAI estimated operating costs based on the following per-well schedule:

At our request, operating costs are intended to be limited to direct lease and field-level costs and our estimate of the portion of our headquarters’ general and administrative overhead expenses necessary to operate the properties. Operating costs are divided into per-well costs and per-unit of production costs and are not escalated for inflation.

Capital costs used by NSAI were provided by us and are based on authorizations for expenditure. Capital costs are included as required for new development wells and production equipment, and are estimated to average $5,625,000 per well. Based on NSAI’s understanding of our future development plans, a review of the records which we provided to NSAI, and NSAI’s knowledge of similar properties, NSAI regards these estimated capital costs to be reasonable. Abandonment costs were estimated at $75,000 per well. Abandonment costs were our estimates of the costs to abandon the wells and the production facilities, and are net of any salvage value. Capital costs and abandonment costs are not escalated for inflation.

Management

We believe our management team is in a prime position to take advantage of opportunities within the oil and gas industry and to create value for our stockholders. Our management team has deep knowledge of the industry and a well-established network of relationships with public and private oil and gas companies, equity sponsors, lending institutions, landowners, and service providers from which we expect to generate attractive acquisition opportunities. Our management also has a substantial history operating together as a team. For biographical information about the members of our management team, see “Management.”

Business Strategy

Exploit Initial Asset Portfolio — We intend to focus on the initial drilling and future development of our properties in the Eagle Ford Shale. As of July 31, 2016, we have approximately 427 gross (400 net) acres and 24 identified potential drilling locations, with current plans to commence initial drilling efforts in late 2016 upon completion of this offering.

Leverage Acquisition Pipeline — We intend to opportunistically acquire additional acreage and reserves. We believe we can leverage our management’s extensive industry network and operational expertise to identify and execute on many opportunities before they are generally available to industry competitors.

Focus on Assets that are Currently Economic — We plan to focus on acquisitions and low-risk horizontal development opportunities within the regions that continue to generate exceptional returns even in today’s lower commodity price environment.

Seek Out Smaller Acreage Blocks — Due to the recent downturn in the industry, the larger firms with better access to capital have been the recent acquirers of larger acreage blocks. Because of scale, these bigger firms have been

interested in purchasing large, contiguous blocks of acreage as opposed to smaller unique opportunities. We believe this has led to significant price increases for properly situated lease acreage within larger blocks versus smaller blocks where there is less competition, even if the resource economics per acre are similar. The Company will target buying these smaller parcels where we believe the price per acre is attractive relative to larger acreage packages.

Purchase Mineral Rights Underlying Familiar Properties — We will seek to purchase mineral rights underneath acreage in the Marcellus Formation in West Virginia and Ohio held by MHRC. Our management team is very familiar with these properties. Following its recent reorganization, we expect MHRC, or its successor, will eventually actively drill these regions, where MHRC holds a significant leasehold position in both West Virginia and Ohio.

Maintain Operating Control — We believe that operatorship provides the ability to maximize the value of our assets by allowing our experienced management team to control the timing of drilling expenditures, manage operational costs and enhance production volumes. Other than with respect to mineral interests we may acquire underneath the Marcellus acreage held by MHRC, we will, whenever possible, seek to serve as operator for the properties in which we acquire interests.

Employ State of the Art Technologies — We intend to utilize advanced technologies that should allow us to enhance our drilling performance and completion. Our technical team continually reviews the most current technologies and will apply those to our reserve base for the effective development of our project inventory. Our technical team intends to leverage management’s prior experience in the Eagle Ford and other unconventional plays, by using horizontal drilling and advanced frac completion methods in order to maximize value and return on investment.

Maintain Conservatively Capitalized Balance Sheet with Strong Liquidity Position — After giving effect to this offering, we expect to have approximately $40.93 million of cash on the balance sheet. We have no debt. We intend to maintain a conservative approach to capitalizing our business, and feel our lack of leverage will provide us a significant advantage in the current market environment.

Our Competitive Strengths

Experienced and Incentivized Management Team — With decades of experience, our management team has a proven track record of building and operating businesses focused on the development and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties. We believe our team’s deep knowledge of the major resource plays and operational expertise provides us with a distinct competitive advantage. Additionally, our management’s extensive industry network provides us with access to top-tier industry partners, land owners and financial sponsors to help us identify and execute on attractive opportunities not generally known by others. Members of our senior management have a significant economic interest in us, which will provide us a meaningful incentive to increase the value of our business for the benefit of all stockholders.

Attractive Initial Acreage Position — All of our current acreage is located in Karnes County, Texas along the Edwards Trend in the heart of the Eagle Ford Shale play. According to monthly production data compiled by the Railroad Commission of Texas, Karnes County is the top crude oil producing county in the State of Texas by volume, for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2016. The Eagle Ford Shale play overlying the Edwards Trend is currently one of the most prolific liquids producers and currently generates some of the best economics in the Eagle Ford, even at recent commodity prices. Our assets provide development opportunities in a relatively mature, well-understood shale trend (as compared to other unconventional resource plays).

Stacked Pay Opportunities — We have identified 24 potential undeveloped horizontal drilling locations across our acreage position prospective for both the lower and upper Eagle Ford Shale formations, which includes six potential locations in the lower Eagle Ford associated with our probable undeveloped reserves as of July 31, 2016. The lower Eagle Ford is approximately 185 feet thick with an average net pay thickness of 155 feet. The upper Eagle Ford is 67 feet thick with approximately 38 feet of net pay thickness. We see the potential for additional locations in the Austin Chalk, which has yet to be evaluated by NSAI or our management.

Proven Horizontal Drilling Expertise and Technical Acumen in the Eagle Ford — Management has previously had success acquiring, developing, operating, and producing acreage in the region as well as others. Several members of our management team were integral in the grass roots development of an Eagle Ford project located just one county over from our current acreage position. Members of our team were key decision-makers at MHRC in growing an initial 2,000-net acre package into a 19,000-net acre asset through their knowledge of the specific land and geology, and relationships with landowners throughout the area. Ultimately, this asset produced 14,260 gross/5,277 net BOE/D at peak production for MHRC and was subsequently sold to a competitor.

Marketing and Pricing

We currently plan to market the majority of the eventual production from properties we will operate for both our account and the account of the other working interest owners in these properties. We currently plan to sell our production to purchasers at then current market prices. We may, however, from time to time enter into commodity hedging or derivative contracts to mitigate the risks associated with the volatility of the price of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids.

Competition

The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive in all phases. We encounter competition from other oil and natural gas exploration and production companies in all areas of operation, including the acquisition of leases. Our competitors include numerous independent oil and natural gas companies, financial sponsors, and individuals. Many of our competitors are large, well established companies that have substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources than we do. Our ability to acquire additional properties in the future will depend upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. Competition in the oil and natural gas industry is intense, which may adversely affect our ability to compete.

Seasonality of Business

Weather conditions affect the demand for, and prices of, oil and natural gas. Demand for oil and natural gas has historically been higher in the fourth and first quarters of each year resulting in higher prices. Due to these seasonal fluctuations, results of operations for individual quarterly periods may not be indicative of the results that may be realized on an annual basis.

Title to Properties

As is customary in the oil and natural gas industry, we initially conduct a limited review of the title to our properties in connection with acquisition of leasehold acreage. At such time as we determine to conduct drilling operations on those properties, we will conduct a more thorough title examination and perform curative work with respect to significant defects prior to commencement of drilling operations. To the extent title opinions or other investigations reflect title defects on those properties, we will typically be responsible for curing any title defects at our expense. We generally will not commence drilling operations on a property until we have cured any material title defects on such property.

Prior to completing an acquisition of producing oil and natural gas leases, we perform title reviews on the most significant leases and, depending on the materiality of properties, we may obtain a title opinion, obtain an updated title review or opinion or review previously obtained title opinions. Our oil and natural gas properties are expected to be subject to customary royalty and other interests, liens for current taxes and other burdens which we believe typically do not materially interfere with the use of or affect our carrying value of the properties.

We believe that we have satisfactory title to all of our material current assets. Title to these properties is subject to encumbrances in some cases, such as customary interests generally retained in connection with the acquisition of real property, customary royalty interests and contract terms and restrictions, liens for current taxes and other burdens, easements, restrictions and minor encumbrances customary in the oil and natural gas industry. However, we believe that none of these liens, restrictions, easements, burdens and encumbrances will materially detract from the value of these properties or from our interest in these properties or materially interfere with our use of these properties in the operation of our business. In addition, we believe that we have obtained sufficient rights-of-way grants and permits from public authorities and private parties for us to operate our business in all material respects as described in this Offering Circular.

Oil and Natural Gas Leases

The typical oil and natural gas lease agreement covering our properties provides for the payment of royalties to the mineral owner for all oil and natural gas produced from any wells drilled on the leased premises. We anticipate the lessor royalties and other leasehold burdens on our properties generally will range from 20% to 25%, resulting in a net revenue interest to us generally ranging from 75% to 80%.

Operating Hazards and Risks

Drilling activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that no commercially productive reservoirs will be encountered. There can be no assurance that any of the wells we drill will be productive or that we will recover all

or any portion of our investment. Drilling for oil and natural gas may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but also from wells that are productive, but do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after drilling, operating and other costs. The cost and timing of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain. Our drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including low oil and natural gas prices, title problems, unexpected drilling conditions, weather conditions, delays by project participants, compliance with governmental requirements, shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment and services and increases in the cost for such equipment and services. Our future drilling activities may not be successful and, if unsuccessful, such failure may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our operations will be subject to hazards and risks inherent in drilling for and producing and transporting oil and natural gas, such as fires, natural disasters, explosions, encountering formations with abnormal pressures, blowouts, craterings, pipeline ruptures and spills, any of which can result in the loss of hydrocarbons, environmental pollution, personal injury claims and other damage to our properties and those of others. We will maintain insurance against some but not all of the risks described above. In particular, the insurance we will maintain does not cover claims relating to failure of title to oil and natural gas leases, loss of surface equipment at well locations, business interruption, loss of revenue due to low commodity prices or loss of revenues due to well failure. Furthermore, in certain circumstances where such insurance is available, we may determine not to purchase it due to cost or other factors. The occurrence of an event that is not covered by, or not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in the period such event may occur.

Regulation of the Oil and Natural Gas Industry

Our operations are substantially affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations. In particular, natural gas production and related operations are, or have been, subject to price controls, taxes and numerous other laws and regulations. All of the jurisdictions in which we own or will operate producing oil and natural gas properties have statutory provisions regulating the development and production of oil and natural gas, including provisions related to permits for the drilling of wells, bonding requirements to drill or operate wells, the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled, sourcing and disposal of water used in the drilling and completion process, and the abandonment of wells. Our operations are also subject to various conservation laws and regulations. These include the regulation of the size of drilling and spacing units or proration units, the number of wells which may be drilled in an area, and the unitization or pooling of crude oil or natural gas wells, as well as regulations that generally prohibit the venting or flaring of natural gas, and impose certain requirements regarding the ratability or fair apportionment of production from fields and individual wells.

Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the industry increases the cost of doing business and affects profitability. Although we believe we are in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, such laws and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted. Therefore, we are unable to predict the future costs or impact of compliance. Additional proposals and proceedings that affect the oil and natural gas industry are regularly considered by Congress, the states, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) and the courts. We cannot predict when or whether any such proposals may become effective.

We believe we are in substantial compliance with currently applicable laws and regulations and that continued substantial compliance with existing requirements will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, current regulatory requirements may change, currently unforeseen environmental incidents may occur or past non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations may be discovered.

Regulation of Production of Oil and Natural Gas

The production of oil and natural gas is subject to regulation under a wide range of local, state and federal statutes, rules, orders and regulations. Federal, state and local statutes and regulations require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations. We own interests in properties located in Texas, which regulates drilling and operating activities by, among other things, requiring permits for the drilling of wells, maintaining bonding requirements in order to drill or operate wells, and regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled and the plugging and

abandonment of wells. The laws of Texas also govern a number of conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum allowable rates of production from oil and natural gas wells, the regulation of well spacing or density, and plugging and abandonment of wells. The effect of these regulations is to limit the amount of oil and natural gas that we will be able to produce and to limit the number of wells or the locations at which we can drill, although we can apply for exceptions to such regulations or to have reductions in well spacing or density. Moreover, Texas imposes a production or severance tax with respect to the production and sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs within its jurisdiction.

The failure to comply with these rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. Our competitors in the oil and natural gas industry are generally subject to the same regulatory requirements and restrictions that affect our operations.

Regulation of Sales and Transportation of Oil

Sales of oil, condensate and NGLs are not currently regulated and are made at negotiated prices. Nevertheless, Congress could reenact price controls in the future.

Our future sales of oil are affected by the availability, terms and cost of transportation. The transportation of oil in common carrier pipelines is also subject to rate and access regulation. FERC regulates interstate oil pipeline transportation rates under the Interstate Commerce Act. In general, interstate oil pipeline rates must be cost-based, although settlement rates agreed to by all shippers are permitted and market-based rates may be permitted in certain circumstances.

Intrastate oil pipeline transportation rates are subject to regulation by state regulatory commissions. The basis for intrastate oil pipeline regulation, and the degree of regulatory oversight and scrutiny given to intrastate oil pipeline rates, varies from state to state. Insofar as effective interstate and intrastate rates and regulations regarding access are equally applicable to all comparable shippers, we believe that the regulation of oil transportation will not affect our operations in any way that is of material difference from those of our competitors who are similarly situated.

Regulation of Transportation and Sales of Natural Gas

Historically, the transportation and sale for resale of natural gas in interstate commerce have been regulated by agencies of the U.S. federal government, primarily FERC. In the past, the federal government has regulated the prices at which natural gas could be sold. While sales by producers of natural gas can currently be made at uncontrolled market prices, Congress could reenact price controls in the future. Deregulation of wellhead natural gas sales began with the enactment of the National Gas Policy Act (“NGPA”), and culminated in adoption of the Natural Gas Wellhead Decontrol Act which removed controls affecting wellhead sales of natural gas effective January 1, 1993. The transportation and sale for resale of natural gas in interstate commerce is regulated primarily under the Natural Gas Act of 1938 (“NGA”), and by regulations and orders promulgated under the NGA by FERC. In certain limited circumstances, intrastate transportation and wholesale sales of natural gas may also be affected directly or indirectly by laws enacted by Congress and by FERC regulations.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (“EP Act”) is a comprehensive compilation of tax incentives, authorized appropriations for grants and guaranteed loans, and significant changes to the statutory policy that affects all segments of the energy industry. Among other matters, the EP Act amends the NGA to add an anti-market manipulation provision which makes it unlawful for any entity to engage in prohibited behavior to be prescribed by FERC, and furthermore provides FERC with additional civil penalty authority. The EP Act provides FERC with the power to assess civil penalties of up to $1,000,000 per day for violations of the NGA and increases FERC’s civil penalty authority under the NGPA from $5,000 per violation per day to $1,000,000 per violation per day. The civil penalty provisions are applicable to entities that engage in the sale of natural gas for resale in interstate commerce. On January 19, 2006, FERC issued Order No. 670, a rule implementing the anti-market manipulation provision of the EP Act, and subsequently denied rehearing. The rules make it unlawful to: (i) in connection with the purchase or sale of natural gas subject to the jurisdiction of FERC, or the purchase or sale of transportation services subject to the jurisdiction of FERC, for any entity, directly or indirectly, use or employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud; (ii) make any untrue statement of material fact or omit to make any such statement necessary to make the statements made not misleading; or (iii) engage in any act or practice that operates as a fraud or deceit upon any person. The new anti-market manipulation rule does not apply to activities that relate only to intrastate or other non-jurisdictional sales or gathering, but does apply to activities of gas pipelines and storage companies that provide interstate services, as well as otherwise non-jurisdictional entities to the extent the activities are conducted “in

connection with” gas sales, purchases or transportation subject to FERC jurisdiction, which now includes the annual reporting requirements under Order 704, described below. The anti-market manipulation rule and enhanced civil penalty authority reflect an expansion of FERC’s NGA enforcement authority.

On December 26, 2007, FERC issued Order 704, a final rule on the annual natural gas transaction reporting requirements, as amended by subsequent orders on rehearing. Under Order 704, wholesale buyers and sellers of more than 2.2 million MMBtus of physical natural gas in the previous calendar year, including natural gas producers, gatherers and marketers, are now required to report, on May 1 of each year, aggregate volumes of natural gas purchased or sold at wholesale in the prior calendar year to the extent such transactions utilize, contribute to, or may contribute to the formation of price indices. It is the responsibility of the reporting entity to determine which individual transactions should be reported based on the guidance of Order 704. Order 704 also requires market participants to indicate whether they report prices to any index publishers, and if so, whether their reporting complies with FERC’s policy statement on price reporting.

Gathering service, which occurs upstream of jurisdictional transmission services, is regulated by the states onshore and in state waters. Section 1(b) of the NGA exempts natural gas gathering facilities from regulation by FERC as a natural gas company under the NGA. Although FERC has set forth a general test for determining whether facilities perform a non-jurisdictional gathering function or a jurisdictional transmission function, FERC’s determinations as to the classification of facilities are done on a case-by-case basis. To the extent that FERC issues an order that reclassifies certain jurisdictional transmission facilities as non-jurisdictional gathering facilities, and depending on the scope of that decision, our costs of getting gas to point of sale locations may increase.

The price at which we will sell natural gas is not currently subject to federal rate regulation and, for the most part, is not subject to state regulation. However, with regard to our physical sales of these energy commodities, we will be required to observe anti-market manipulation laws and related regulations enforced by FERC under the EP Act and under the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”), and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The CEA prohibits any person from manipulating or attempting to manipulate the price of any commodity in interstate commerce or futures on such commodity. The CEA also prohibits knowingly delivering or causing to be delivered false or misleading or knowingly inaccurate reports concerning market information or conditions that affect or tend to affect the price of a commodity. Should we violate the anti-market manipulation laws and regulations, we could also be subject to related third-party damage claims by, among others, sellers, royalty owners and taxing authorities.

Intrastate natural gas transportation is also subject to regulation by state regulatory agencies. The basis for intrastate regulation of natural gas transportation and the degree of regulatory oversight and scrutiny given to intrastate natural gas pipeline rates and services varies from state to state. Insofar as such regulation within a particular state will generally affect all intrastate natural gas shippers within the state on a comparable basis, we believe that the regulation of similarly situated intrastate natural gas transportation in any states in which we operate and ship natural gas on an intrastate basis will not affect our operations in any way that is of material difference from those of our competitors. Like the regulation of interstate transportation rates, the regulation of intrastate transportation rates affects the marketing of natural gas that we produce, as well as the revenues we receive for sales of our natural gas.

Changes in law and to FERC or state policies and regulations may adversely affect the availability and reliability of firm and/or interruptible transportation service on interstate and intrastate pipelines, and we cannot predict what future action FERC or state regulatory bodies will take. We do not believe, however, that any regulatory changes will affect us in a way that materially differs from the way they would affect other natural gas producers and marketers with which we compete.

Regulation of Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Matters

Our current and anticipated oil and natural gas development operations are and will be subject to numerous stringent federal, regional, state and local statutes and regulations governing occupational safety and health, the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection, some of which carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties for failure to comply. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before construction, drilling or other regulated activity commences; restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling, production and transporting through pipelines; govern the sourcing and disposal of water used in the drilling and completion process; limit or prohibit drilling activities in certain areas and on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, endangered species habitat, frontier and other protected areas; require some form of remedial

action to prevent or mitigate pollution from former operations such as plugging abandoned wells or closing earthen pits; establish specific safety and health criteria addressing worker protection; and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from operations or failure to comply with regulatory filings. In addition, these laws and regulations may restrict the rate of production.

The following is a summary of the more significant existing environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations, as amended from time to time, to which our business operations are subject and for which compliance may have a material adverse impact on our capital expenditures, results of operations or financial position.

Hazardous Substances and Waste Handling

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), also known as the “Superfund” law, and comparable state laws impose liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons that are considered to have contributed to the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current and past owner or operator of the disposal site or the site where the release occurred and companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances at the site where the release occurred. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several strict liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources, and it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. We will be able to control directly the operation of only those wells with respect to which we act as operator. Notwithstanding our lack of direct control over wells operated by others, the failure of an operator other than us to comply with applicable environmental regulations may, in certain circumstances, be attributed to us. We generate materials in the course of our operations that may be regulated as hazardous substances but we are unaware of any liabilities for which we may be held responsible that would materially and adversely affect us.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and analogous state laws, impose detailed requirements for the generation, handling, storage, treatment and disposal of nonhazardous and hazardous solid wastes. RCRA specifically excludes drilling fluids, produced waters and other wastes associated with the development or production of crude oil, natural gas or geothermal energy from regulation as hazardous wastes. However, these wastes may be regulated by the EPA or state agencies under RCRA’s less stringent nonhazardous solid waste provisions, state laws or other federal laws. Moreover, it is possible that these particular oil and natural gas development and production wastes now classified as nonhazardous solid wastes could be classified as hazardous wastes in the future. For example, from time to time various environmental groups have challenged the EPA’s exemption of certain oil and gas wastes from RCRA. A loss of the RCRA exclusion for drilling fluids, produced waters and related wastes could result in an increase in our costs to manage and dispose of generated wastes, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. In addition, in the course of our operations, we generate some amounts of ordinary industrial wastes, such as paint wastes, waste solvents, laboratory wastes and waste compressor oils that may be regulated as hazardous wastes if such wastes have hazardous characteristics. Although the costs of managing hazardous waste may be significant, we do not believe that our costs in this regard are materially more burdensome than those for similarly situated companies.

We currently own and operate properties that have been used for oil and natural gas development and production activities for many years. Although we believe that prior operators have utilized operating and waste disposal practices that were standard in the industry at the time, hazardous substances, wastes or petroleum hydrocarbons may have been released on, under or from the properties owned or leased by us, or on, under or from other locations, including off-site locations, where such substances have been taken for recycling or disposal. In addition, some of our properties have been operated by third parties or by previous owners or operators whose treatment and disposal of hazardous substances, wastes or petroleum hydrocarbons was not under our control. These properties and the substances disposed or released on, under or from them may be subject to CERCLA, RCRA and analogous state laws. Under such laws, we could be required to undertake response or corrective measures, which could include removal of previously disposed substances and wastes, cleanup of contaminated property or performance of remedial plugging or pit closure operations to prevent future contamination.

Water Discharges

The federal Clean Water Act and comparable state laws impose restrictions and strict controls regarding the discharge of pollutants, including produced waters and other oil and natural gas wastes, into or near navigable waters. The

discharge of pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited, except in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by the EPA or the state. The discharge of dredge and fill material in regulated waters, including wetlands, is also prohibited, unless authorized by a permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the “Corps”). In September 2015, the EPA and the Corps issued new rules defining the scope of the EPA’s and the Corps’ jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act with respect to certain types of waterbodies and classifying these waterbodies as regulated wetlands. To the extent the rule expands the scope of the Clean Water Act’s jurisdiction, we could face increased costs and delays with respect to obtaining permits for dredge and fill activities in wetland areas. The rule has been challenged in court on the grounds that it unlawfully expands the reach of the Clean Water Act, and implementation of the rule has been stayed pending resolution of the court challenge. Obtaining permits has the potential to delay the development of oil and natural gas projects. These laws and any implementing regulations provide for administrative, civil and criminal penalties for any unauthorized discharges of oil and other substances in reportable quantities and may impose substantial potential liability for the costs of removal, remediation and damages.

Pursuant to these laws and regulations, we may be required to obtain and maintain approvals or permits for the discharge of wastewater or storm water and are required to develop and implement spill prevention, control and countermeasure plans, also referred to as “SPCC plans,” in connection with on-site storage of significant quantities of oil. We believe that we maintain all required discharge permits necessary to conduct our operations, and further believe we are in substantial compliance with the terms thereof. We are currently undertaking a review of recently acquired oil properties to determine the need for new or updated SPCC plans and, where necessary, we will be developing or upgrading such plans implementing the physical and operation controls imposed by these plans, the costs of which are not expected to be substantial.

The primary federal law related specifically to oil spill liability is the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA”), which amends and augments the oil spill provisions of the Clean Water Act and imposes certain duties and liabilities on certain “responsible parties” related to the prevention of oil spills and damages resulting from such spills in or threatening waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines. For example, operators of certain oil and natural gas facilities must develop, implement and maintain facility response plans, conduct annual spill training for certain employees and provide varying degrees of financial assurance. Owners or operators of a facility, vessel or pipeline that is a source of an oil discharge or that poses the substantial threat of discharge is one type of “responsible party” who is liable. The OPA applies joint and several liability, without regard to fault, to each liable party for oil removal costs and a variety of public and private damages. Although defenses exist, they are limited. As such, a violation of the OPA has the potential to adversely affect our operations.

Air Emissions

The federal Clean Air Act and comparable state laws restrict the emission of air pollutants from many sources, such as, for example, compressor stations, through air emissions standards, construction and operating permitting programs and the imposition of other compliance requirements. These laws and regulations may require us to obtain pre-approval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce or significantly increase air emissions, obtain and strictly comply with stringent air permit requirements or utilize specific equipment or technologies to control emissions of certain pollutants. Over the next several years, we may be required to incur certain capital expenditures for air pollution control equipment or other air emissions related issues. For example, in October 2015, the EPA lowered the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (“NAAQS”) for ozone from 75 to 70 parts per billion. State implementation of the revised NAAQS could result in stricter permitting requirements, delay or prohibit our ability to obtain such permits, and result in increased expenditures for pollution control equipment, the costs of which could be significant. In addition, the EPA has adopted new rules under the Clean Air Act that require the reduction of volatile organic compound emissions from certain fractured and refractured natural gas wells for which well completion operations are conducted and further require that most wells use reduced emission completions, also known as “green completions.” These regulations also establish specific new requirements regarding emissions from production-related wet seal and reciprocating compressors, and from pneumatic controllers and storage vessels. More recently, in May 2016, the EPA finalized rules regarding criteria for aggregating multiple small surface sites into a single source for air-quality permitting purposes applicable to the oil and gas industry. This rule could cause small facilities, on an aggregate basis, to be deemed a major source, thereby triggering more stringent air permitting processes and requirements. Compliance with these and other air pollution control and permitting requirements has the potential to delay the development of oil and natural gas projects and increase our costs of development, which costs could be significant. However, we do not believe that compliance with such requirements will have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Regulation of Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) Emissions

In response to findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other GHGs present an endangerment to public health and the environment, the EPA has adopted regulations pursuant to the federal Clean Air Act that, among other things, require preconstruction and operating permits for certain large stationary sources. Facilities required to obtain preconstruction permits for their GHG emissions are also required to meet “best available control technology” standards that are being established by the states or, in some cases, by the EPA on a case-by-case basis. These regulatory requirements could adversely affect our operations and restrict or delay our ability to obtain air permits for new or modified sources. In addition, the EPA has adopted rules requiring the monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions from specified onshore and offshore oil and natural gas production sources in the United States on an annual basis, which include certain of our operations. Furthermore, in May 2016, the EPA finalized rules that establish new controls for emissions of methane from new, modified or reconstructed sources in the oil and natural gas source category, including production, processing, transmission and storage activities. The rule includes first-time standards to address emissions of methane from equipment and processes across the source category, including hydraulically fractured oil and natural gas well completions. The EPA has also announced that it intends to impose methane emission standards for existing sources as well but, to date, has not yet issued a proposal. Compliance with these rules will require enhanced record-keeping practices, the purchase of new equipment such as optical gas imaging instruments to detect leaks, and increased frequency of maintenance and repair activities to address emissions leakage. The rules will also likely require hiring additional personnel to support these activities or the engagement of third party contractors to assist with and verify compliance. These new and proposed rules could result in increased compliance costs on our operations.

While Congress has from time to time considered legislation to reduce emissions of GHGs, there has not been significant activity in the form of adopted legislation to reduce GHG emissions at the federal level in recent years. In the absence of such federal climate legislation, a number of state and regional efforts have emerged that are aimed at tracking and/or reducing GHG emissions by means of cap and trade programs. These programs typically require major sources of GHG emissions to acquire and surrender emission allowances in return for emitting those GHGs. In addition, efforts have been made and continue to be made in the international community toward the adoption of international treaties or protocols that would address global climate change issues. Most recently in April 2016, the United States was one of 175 countries to ratify the Paris Agreement, which requires member countries to review and “represent a progression” in their intended nationally determined contributions, which set GHG emission reduction goals, every five years beginning in 2020. Although it is not possible at this time to predict how legislation or new regulations that may be adopted to address GHG emissions would impact our business, any such future laws and regulations imposing reporting obligations on, or limiting emissions of GHGs from, our equipment and operations could require us to incur costs to reduce emissions of GHGs associated with our operations. Substantial limitations on GHG emissions could adversely affect demand for the oil and natural gas we produce. Finally, it should be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the Earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods and other climatic events; if any such effects were to occur, they could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Hydraulic Fracturing Activities

Hydraulic fracturing is an important and common practice that is used to stimulate production of oil and/or natural gas from dense subsurface rock formations. The hydraulic fracturing process involves the injection of water, proppants (a solid material designed to keep the fracture open) and chemicals under pressure into targeted subsurface formations to fracture the surrounding rock and stimulate production. We intend to regularly use hydraulic fracturing as part of our operations.

Hydraulic fracturing is typically regulated by state oil and natural gas commissions, but the EPA has asserted federal regulatory authority pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act (“SDWA”) over certain hydraulic fracturing activities involving the use of diesel fuels and published permitting guidance in February 2014 addressing the performance of such activities using diesel fuels.

The EPA has also issued final regulations under the federal Clean Air Act establishing performance standards, including standards for the capture of air emissions released during hydraulic fracturing, and advanced notice of proposed rulemaking under the Toxic Substances Control Act to require companies to disclose information regarding the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, and also finalized rules in June 2016 that prohibit the discharge of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing operations to publicly owned wastewater treatment plants. In addition, the Bureau of Land Management finalized rules in March 2015 that impose new or more stringent standards for

performing hydraulic fracturing on federal and American Indian lands. In June 2016, the U.S. District Court of Wyoming struck down implementation of the Bureau of Land Management’s rules. In addition, Congress has from time to time considered legislation to provide for federal regulation of hydraulic fracturing under the SDWA and to require disclosure of the chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process. It is unclear how any additional federal regulation of hydraulic fracturing activities may affect our operations.

At the state level, several states have adopted or are considering legal requirements that could impose more stringent permitting, disclosure and well construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing activities. For example, in May 2013, the Railroad Commission of Texas issued a “well integrity rule,” which updates the requirements for drilling, putting pipe down and cementing wells. The rule also includes new testing and reporting requirements, such as (i) the requirement to submit cementing reports after well completion or after cessation of drilling, whichever is later, and (ii) the imposition of additional testing on wells less than 1,000 feet below usable groundwater. The well integrity rule took effect in January 2014. Local governments also may seek to adopt ordinances within their jurisdictions regulating the time, place and manner of drilling activities in general or hydraulic fracturing activities in particular. We believe that we will be following applicable standard industry practices and legal requirements for groundwater protection in our hydraulic fracturing activities. Nonetheless, if new or more stringent federal, state or local legal restrictions relating to the hydraulic fracturing process are adopted in areas where we operate, we could incur potentially significant added costs to comply with such requirements, experience delays or curtailment in the pursuit of development activities, and perhaps even be precluded from drilling wells.

ESA and Migratory Birds

The Endangered Species Act (“ESA”) and (in some cases) comparable state laws were established to protect endangered and threatened species. Pursuant to the ESA, if a species is listed as threatened or endangered, restrictions may be imposed on activities adversely affecting that species’ habitat. Similar protections are offered to migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. We may conduct operations on oil and natural gas leases in areas where certain species that are listed as threatened or endangered are known to exist and where other species, such as the sage grouse, that potentially could be listed as threatened or endangered under the ESA may exist. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may designate critical habitat and suitable habitat areas that it believes are necessary for survival of a threatened or endangered species. A critical habitat or suitable habitat designation could result in further material restrictions to federal land use and may materially delay or prohibit land access for oil and natural gas development. Moreover, as a result of a settlement approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in September 2011, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is required to make a determination on listing of more than 250 species as endangered or threatened under the ESA by no later than completion of the agency’s 2017 fiscal year. Similar protections are offered to migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The federal government recently issued indictments under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to several oil and natural gas companies after dead migratory birds were found near reserve pits associated with drilling activities. The identification or designation of previously unprotected species as threatened or endangered in areas where underlying property operations are conducted could cause us to incur increased costs arising from species protection measures or could result in limitations on our development activities that could have an adverse impact on our ability to develop and produce reserves. If we were to have a portion of our leases designated as critical or suitable habitat, it could adversely impact the value of our leases.

OSHA

We are subject to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) and comparable state statutes whose purpose is to protect the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazard communication standard, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act and comparable state statutes and any implementing regulations require that we organize and/or disclose information about hazardous materials used or produced in our operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local governmental authorities and citizens. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations relating to worker health and safety.

Related Permits and Authorizations

Many environmental laws require us to obtain permits or other authorizations from state and/or federal agencies before initiating certain drilling, construction, production, operation or other oil and natural gas activities, and to

maintain these permits and compliance with their requirements for on-going operations. These permits are generally subject to protest, appeal or litigation, which can in certain cases delay or halt projects and cease production or operation of wells, pipelines and other operations.

We have not experienced any material adverse effect from compliance with environmental requirements; however, there is no assurance that this will continue. We did not have any material capital or other non-recurring expenditures in connection with complying with environmental laws or environmental remediation matters, nor do we anticipate that such expenditures will be material in 2016.

Related Insurance

We anticipate maintaining certain types of insurance against some risks associated with above or underground contamination that may occur as a result of our development activities. However, this type of insurance is limited to activities at the well site and there can be no assurance that this insurance will continue to be commercially available or that this insurance will be available at premium levels that justify its purchase by us. The occurrence of a significant event that is not fully insured or indemnified against could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and operations. Further, we have no coverage for gradual, long-term pollution events.

Mr. Ferguson most recently served as Executive Vice President of Exploration for MHRC from 2009 to July 2016, where he managed the Eagle Ford Shale division and was in charge of the exploration and development of its Eagle Ford Shale properties.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

In March 2016, during Mr. Evans’ tenure as interim CEO of GreenHunter Resources, Inc. that company and certain of its subsidiaries (namely, GreenHunter Water, LLC; Hunter Disposal, LLC; Ritchie Hunter Water Disposal, LLC; Hunter Hauling, LLC; White Top Oilfield Construction, LLC; Blackwater Services, LLC; Virco Realty, LLC; Little Muskingum Drilling, LLC; Blue Water Energy Solutions, LLC; GreenHunter Wheeling Barge, LLC; GreenHunter Environmental Solutions, LLC; and MAG Tank Hunter, LLC) filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Similar to Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation discussed immediately below, GreenHunter Resources, Inc. sought protection in large part because of the cyclical downturn in the commodity prices of both oil and natural gas. GreenHunter Resources, Inc.’s assets were subsequently sold to a private equity group, which allowed predominately all secured indebtedness to be fully repaid.

In December 2015, during Mr. Evans’ tenure as CEO of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation, that company filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in Delaware (In re Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation, et al., included the following debtors in addition to Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation, each of which was a directly or indirectly owned subsidiary of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation: Alpha Hunter Drilling, LLC; Bakken Hunter Canada, Inc.; Bakken Hunter, LLC; Energy Hunter Securities, Inc.; Hunter Aviation, LLC; Hunter Real Estate, LLC; Magnum Hunter Marketing, LLC; Magnum Hunter Production, Inc.; Magnum Hunter Resources GP, LLC; Magnum Hunter Resources, LP; Magnum Hunter Services, LLC; NGAS Gathering, LLC; NGAS Hunter, LLC; PRC Williston LLC; Shale Hunter, LLC; Triad Holdings, LLC; Triad Hunter, LLC; Viking International Resources Co., Inc.; and Williston Hunter ND, LLC). This filing was due in large part to the precipitous commodity cycle downturn which saw the price of natural gas and crude oil reach lows not seen for over a decade. Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation subsequently emerged from bankruptcy with no indebtedness in May 2016 under Mr. Evans’ leadership. At the time of the bankruptcy filing, Mr. Carrillo was a Director and Mr. McClaugherty was Lead Director of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation. In addition, at the time of the bankruptcy filing, Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Wilson were employees of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation.

On April 24, 2008, shortly after Mr. Burks resigned as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer of Superior Offshore International, Inc., Superior Offshore filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On January 28, 2009, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas confirmed a liquidation plan for the company.

Other than disclosed above, during the past ten years, none of our officers, directors, promoters or control persons have been involved in any legal proceedings as described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Upon the conclusion of this offering, we intend to have an audit committee, nominating and corporate governance committee, and compensation committee of our board of directors, and may have such other committees as the board of directors shall determine from time to time. We anticipate that each of the standing committees of the board of directors will have the composition and responsibilities described below.

Audit Committee

We will establish an audit committee prior to the completion of this offering. A minimum of two individuals will serve as the members of our audit committee. As required by the rules of the Commission and listing standards of the NASDAQ, where we have applied to have our Common Stock listed, the audit committee will consist solely of independent directors within one year of the listing date. Commission rules also require that a public company disclose whether or not its audit committee has an “audit committee financial expert” as a member. Commission rules also require that a public company disclose whether or not its audit committee has an “audit committee financial expert” as a member. An “audit committee financial expert” is defined as a person who, based on his or her experience, possesses the attributes outlined in such rules. Our board of directors has determined that Dr. Modi satisfies the definition of “audit committee financial expert” and we anticipate that he will be a member of the audit committee.

The audit committee will oversee, review, act on and report on various auditing and accounting matters to our board of directors, including: the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm, the scope of our annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent registered public accounting firm, the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm and our accounting practices. In addition, the audit committee will oversee our compliance programs relating to legal and regulatory requirements. We have adopted an audit committee charter defining the committee’s primary duties in a manner consistent with the rules of the Commission and the NASDAQ.

Compensation Committee

We will establish a compensation committee prior to the completion of this offering. A minimum of three individuals will serve as members of our compensation committee. Our compensation committee will review and recommend policies relating to compensation and benefits of our directors and employees and will be responsible for approving the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. We have adopted a compensation committee charter defining the committee’s primary duties in a manner consistent with the rules of the Commission and NASDAQ.

Nominating and Corporate Governance

We will establish a nominating and corporate governance committee prior to the completion of this offering. A minimum of three individuals will serve as members of our nominating and corporate governance committee. Our nominating and corporate governance committee will select or recommend that the board of directors select candidates for election to our board of directors, develop and recommend to the board of directors corporate governance guidelines that will be applicable to us and oversee board of director and management evaluations. We have adopted a nominating and corporate governance committee charter defining the committee’s primary duties in a manner consistent with the rules of the Commission and NASDAQ.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Prior to the completion of this offering, our board of directors will adopt a code of business conduct and ethics applicable to our employees, directors and officers, in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the corporate governance rules of the NASDAQ. Any waiver of this code may be made only by our board of directors and will be promptly disclosed as required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the corporate governance rules of the NASDAQ.

Lead Independent Director

If at any time after the completion of this offering, the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are held by the same person, we intend that the independent members of the board of directors will elect on an annual basis with a majority vote an independent director to serve in a lead capacity (the “Lead Independent Director”). The

Lead Independent Director will coordinate the activities of the other independent directors and perform such other duties and responsibilities as the board of directors may determine. We have adopted a Lead Independent Director Charter defining the Lead Independent Director’s primary duties in a manner consistent with the rules of the Commission and NASDAQ.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Prior to the completion of this offering, our board of directors will adopt corporate governance guidelines in accordance with the corporate governance rules of the NASDAQ.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Named Executive Officers

We are an emerging growth company for purposes of the Commission’s executive compensation disclosure rules. In accordance with such rules, we are required to provide a Summary Compensation Table and an Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End Table, as well as limited narrative disclosures regarding executive compensation for our last completed fiscal year. Further, our reporting obligations extend only to our “named executive officers,” who are those individuals serving as our principal executive officer and our two other most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the last completed fiscal year. We began operations on May 11, 2016, therefore, we do not have prior fiscal year data.

Narrative Disclosures

Employment, Severance or Change in Control Agreements

Other than with Mr. Burks, we currently do not maintain any employment, severance or change in control agreements with our named executive officers. In addition, our named executive officers are not entitled to any payments or other benefits in connection with a termination of employment or a change in control.

Roger D. Burks

Effective November 1, 2016, the Company and WG Consulting, LLC (“WG Consulting”), of which Mr. Burks is the Executive Managing Director/CEO, entered into that certain engagement letter (the “Burks Engagement Letter”), pursuant to which the Company formalized Mr. Burks’ service as Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Pursuant to the Burks Engagement Letter, Mr. Burks will oversee all of the Company’s accounting and related matters as required as a public reporting company. WG Consulting will be compensated for Mr. Burks’ services at a rate of $300 per hour. WG Consulting may receive additional compensation in the form of a to-be-determined equity interest in the Company granted under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Such additional compensation will be determined at a later date. Either the Company or WG Consulting may terminate the Burks Engagement Letter for any reason upon 48 hours’ prior written notice to the other party. The Company and WG Consulting have also entered into a separate agreement pursuant to which WG Consulting will provide certain consulting and outsourced accounting services to the Company. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—WG Consulting Engagement Letter.”

Retirement Benefits

We have not maintained, and do not currently intend to maintain, a defined benefit pension plan or nonqualified deferred compensation plan.

Compensation of Named Executive Officers

The following table contains compensation data for our named executive officers for the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

Compensation of Directors

Our board of directors was initially formed in July 2016 and expanded in October 2016. No obligations with respect to compensation for non-employee directors have been accrued or paid for any periods prior to such formation date or to date in 2016.

Going forward, our board of directors believes that attracting and retaining qualified non-employee directors will be critical to the future value growth and governance of our company. Our board of directors also believes that a significant portion of the total compensation package for our non-employee directors should be equity-based to align the interest of these directors with our stockholders.

Directors who are also our employees will not receive any additional compensation for their service on our board of directors.

We expect that each director will be reimbursed for (i) travel and miscellaneous expenses to attend meetings and activities of our board of directors or its committees; (ii) travel and miscellaneous expenses related to such director’s participation in general education and orientation programs for directors; and (iii) travel and miscellaneous expenses for each director’s spouse who accompanies a director to attend meetings and activities of our board of directors or any of our committees.

We are reviewing the non-employee director compensation packages provided by certain peer companies and intend to implement a non-employee director compensation program in connection with this offering.

Compensation Following this Offering

IPO Bonuses

We intend to grant certain employees, including our named executive officers, and our non-employee directors bonuses in amounts to be determined in connection with this offering. For each recipient, the IPO Bonus is expected to be made in the form of a restricted stock award under our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as described further below). The board of directors has allocated 75,000 shares of restricted stock from the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan for the IPO Bonuses. We anticipate that the restricted stock awards will each be granted at, or shortly following, the closing of this offering. With respect to each restricted stock award, it is generally expected that the award will vest in three substantially equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the closing date of this offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each restricted stock award will accelerate and become payable or vested, as applicable, upon a termination of the employee’s service relationship due to death, “disability” or without “cause” or for “good reason” (each such term as defined in the applicable award agreement) and the restricted stock award will also accelerate and become vested upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company.

2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan

2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan

Our board of directors adopted our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan on November 16, 2016, which our stockholders approved on November 30, 2016. Unless otherwise amended or terminated by our board of directors, the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan shall have a ten-year term.

Share Reserve. We have reserved 750,000 shares of our Common Stock for issuance under our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan. In addition, to the extent that any outstanding award is forfeited or cancelled for any reason without the payment of consideration, the shares of our Common Stock allocable to such portion of the award may again be available for grant or issuance under our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Eligibility. Our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan authorizes the award of stock options, restricted shares, share appreciation rights, restricted share units, performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards and other share-based bonuses.

Administration. Our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan is currently administered by our board of directors, but will be administered by our compensation committee upon the completion of this offering, all of the members of which will be non-employee directors under applicable federal securities laws and outside directors as defined under applicable federal tax laws. The compensation committee will have the authority to construe and interpret our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, grant awards and make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the plan. Awards under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan may be made subject to “performance factors” and other terms in order to qualify as performance based compensation for the purposes of 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

Stock Options. Our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options that qualify under Section 422 of the Code only to our employees. All awards other than incentive stock options may be granted to our employees, non-employee directors, and other service providers, including consultants. The exercise price of each stock option must be at least equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted to 10% stockholders must be at least equal to 110% of that value. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be subject to stock options granted in any one fiscal year to any “covered employee”, as such term in defined in Section 162(m) of the Code (a “Covered Employee”), is 500,000.

Share Appreciation Rights. Share appreciation rights provide for a payment, or payments, in cash or shares of our Common Stock, to the holder based upon the difference between the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of exercise and the stated exercise price up to a maximum amount of cash or number of shares. Share appreciation rights may vest based on time or achievement of performance conditions. The maximum aggregate number of shares granted in the form of stock appreciation rights in any one fiscal year to any Covered Employee is 500,000.

Restricted Shares. A restricted stock grant is an award of Common Stock that vests over a period of time and, during such time, is subject to transfer limitations, a risk of forfeiture and other restrictions imposed by the committee, in its discretion. During the restricted period, a participant will have rights as a stockholder, including the right to vote the Common Stock subject to the award and to receive cash dividends thereon (which may, if required by the committee, be subjected to the same vesting terms that apply to the underlying award of restricted stock). Any restricted share award will have a minimum vesting period of not less than three years, except that no minimum vesting period will apply to any restricted share award made in lieu of salary, cash bonuses or a director’s annual compensation. The maximum aggregate grant with respect to awards of restricted stock granted in any one fiscal year to any Covered Employee is 500,000 shares.

Restricted Share Units. A restricted share unit (“RSU”) is a grant valued in terms of shares of our Common Stock. No Common Stock is issued at the time of an RSU grant. An RSU may be settled upon vesting in cash, by the issuance of the underlying shares or a combination of both. Any RSU will have a minimum vesting period of not less than three years, except that no minimum vesting period will apply to any RSU made in lieu of salary, cash bonuses or a director’s annual compensation. These awards are subject to forfeiture prior to settlement because of termination of employment or failure to achieve certain performance conditions. The maximum aggregate payment (determined as of the date of grant) with respect to awards of RSUs granted in any one fiscal year to any Covered Employee shall be equal to the fair market value of 500,000 shares; provided, however, that the maximum aggregate grant of restricted shares and RSUs for any one fiscal year shall be coordinated so that in no event shall any Covered Employee be awarded more than the fair market value of 500,000 shares taking into account all such grants.

Performance Shares and Performance Unit Awards. A performance share or unit is an award that covers a number of shares of our Common Stock that may be settled upon achievement of the pre-established performance conditions in cash or by issuance of the underlying shares. The maximum amount of shares of our Common Stock that may be granted will be 500,000 shares per fiscal year for any holder. The maximum amount payable to any holder in respect of a performance unit award that is not denominated in shares with respect to any fiscal year in the performance period shall be $1,500,000. All performance share awards and performance unit awards will have a minimum performance period of not less than one year, except that no minimum performance period will apply to any performance share award or performance unit award made in lieu of salary, cash bonuses or a director’s annual compensation.

Share-Based Awards. Share-based awards are equity-based or equity-related awards not otherwise covered by our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan and may be granted in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions, as the compensation committee will determine. Such awards may involve the issue or transfer of shares of our Common

Stock to holders, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of shares of our Common Stock. Any share-based award will have a minimum vesting period of not less than three years, except that no minimum vesting period will apply to any share-based award made in lieu of salary, cash bonuses or a director’s annual compensation.

Cash Awards. Cash awards may be granted on a free-standing basis, as an element of or a supplement to, or in lieu of any other award.

Additional Provisions. Awards granted under our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or as determined by our compensation committee. Awards that are incentive stock options may not be (i) sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or (ii) exercised during the lifetime of the optionee other than by the optionee or the optionee’s guardian or legal representative.

If we experience a change of control transaction, outstanding awards, including any vesting provisions, may be assumed or substituted by the successor company. Outstanding awards that are not assumed or substituted will be exercisable for a period of time and will expire upon the closing of a change in control transaction. In the discretion of our compensation committee, the vesting of these awards may be accelerated upon the occurrence of these types of transactions.

Limitations of Liability and Indemnification Matters

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, which prohibits our amended and restated certificate of incorporation from limiting the liability of our directors for the following:

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that if Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended. This limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising under the federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that we shall have the power to indemnify our employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our amended and restated bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in this capacity, regardless of whether our amended and restated bylaws would permit indemnification. We intend to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws. These agreements, among other things, provide for indemnification of our directors and executive officers for expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by this person in any action or proceeding arising out of this person’s services as a director or executive officer or at our request. We believe that these provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.

The above description of the indemnification provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and our indemnification agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to these documents, each of which is filed as an exhibit to this Offering Circular.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay

the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.

At the time of issuance, this represented 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock prior to giving effect to a 1-for-5.7 reverse split of the shares of our outstanding Common Stock as of December 1, 2016.

Satellite Overseas (Holdings) Limited Stockholders Agreement

On July 11, 2016, we entered into a stockholders agreement among the Company, Satellite Overseas (Holdings) Limited (“SOHL”) and Gary C. Evans (the “Stockholders Agreement”). In connection with the execution of the Stockholders Agreement, SOHL also entered into a subscription agreement pursuant to which SOHL agreed to purchase 350,877 shares of Common Stock from us for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 (the “Subscription Agreement”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, upon SOHL’s purchase of Common Stock in accordance with the Subscription Agreement, Rajiv I. Modi (the “Director”) was appointed as a member of the Company’s board of directors and will remain on the board of directors for so long as the Director and/or SOHL continue to beneficially own at least 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, together with any other outstanding securities that are entitled to vote as a class with the Common Stock in any election of directors. In addition, the Company agreed to cause the Director, or a person designated by SOHL and reasonably acceptable to the Company, to be nominated for re-election to the board of directors at the conclusion of each term as a director, pursuant to the Company’s bylaws and to use best efforts to cause the stockholders of the Company to re-elect the Director or such other designee at each applicable time.

In accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, each Stockholder Party (as defined below) agreed to vote or consent, or cause to be voted or a consent executed, all shares of capital stock beneficially owned by such Stockholder Party in favor of the Director or such other designee for so long as the Stockholders Agreement is effective. From the date of such agreement until the close of a bona fide initial public offering of our Common Stock (an “IPO”), the Company also agreed to cause each Stockholder Party to execute a counterparty signature page to the Stockholders Agreement to become bound thereunder. For purposes of the Stockholders Agreement, the term “Stockholder Party” means Gary C. Evans and any other person that becomes the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company at any time prior to an IPO.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, Gary C. Evans also agreed to not transfer, dispose of, sell, lend, offer, pledge, contract to sell, sell any option to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock beneficially owned immediately prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement until the earlier of (i) the completion of an IPO or (ii) the second anniversary of the Stockholders Agreement.

The offering of our Common Stock pursuant to this Offering Circular will constitute an IPO for purposes of the Stockholders Agreement.

Investment Hunter Relationship

In the normal course of business, we have an ongoing business relationship with Investment Hunter, a company owned by our CEO. Investment Hunter provides for payment of general and administrative expenses of the Company which will be reimbursed by us at cost. From our inception through July 15, 2016, Investment Hunter paid a total of $17,354 of our general and administrative expenses. This amount has not yet been reimbursed by us and is presented under “Related Party Payable” in the financial statements.

Karnes County Leasehold Acquisitions

In July 2016, prior to Brian Burgher being employed by the Company, we purchased all of our current properties, consisting of approximately 427 gross (400 net) undeveloped acres in Karnes County, Texas, from an entity owned by Mr. Burgher and other individuals not related to the Company for $1,070,000 in cash. The selling entity currently retains a 6.25% working interest in these Karnes County undeveloped properties.

Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation Stock

As partial payment for Mr. Evans’ purchase of 61,403 shares of Common Stock in the Company’s offering under Regulation D, Mr. Evans transferred all right, title, and interest to the Company of $250,000 of post-reorganization

MHRC stock. The remainder of the purchase price, $100,000, was paid in cash. This MHRC stock is reflected as an investment at cost on the balance sheet of the Company. See “Financial Statements”.

WG Consulting Engagement Letter

Effective November 1, 2016, the Company and WG Consulting entered into an engagement letter pursuant to which the Company formalized arrangements with WG Consulting to provide certain consulting services to the Company (the “WG Consulting Engagement”). WG Consulting will provide on an as-needed basis at the direction of the Company: (i) general financial support, at a rate of $100 - $150 per hour; (ii) technical financial reporting, at a rate of $150 - $250 per hour; (iii) outsourced back office support at a monthly fixed fee to be determined; and (iv) the personal services of Executive Managing Director/President, Todd Rimmer, at the rate of $300 per hour. Under the WG Consulting Engagement, the Lead Client Service Partner shall be Executive Managing Director/President, Todd Rimmer. Roger D. Burks, the Company's Interim Chief Financial Officer, is the Executive Managing Director/CEO of WG Consulting. To ensure no conflict of interest with Mr. Burks in his role as Interim Chief Financial Officer, Gary C. Evans, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, must approve all service requests. Either the Company or WG Consulting may terminate the WG Consulting Engagement for any reason upon 48 hours’ prior written notice to the other party.

Director and Officer Indemnification and Insurance

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require us or will require us to indemnify each director (and in certain cases their related venture capital funds) and executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification of expenses such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of us, arising out of the person’s services as a director or executive officer.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. We also intend to purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that will insure our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances. For further information, see “Executive Compensation—Limitations of Liability and Indemnification Matters.”

Policies and Procedures Regarding Related Party Transactions

Prior to the closing of this offering, we have not maintained a policy for approval of related party transactions. Our board of directors will adopt a written related person transaction policy, to be effective upon the closing of this offering, setting forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related-person transactions. This policy will cover, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we were or are to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by us of a related person. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our audit committee will be tasked to consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. All of the transactions described in this section occurred prior to the adoption of any related party transactions policy.

A “related person” means:

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Upon completion of this offering, the authorized capital stock of the Company will consist of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which 5,325,000 shares will be issued and outstanding, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which no shares will be issued and outstanding.

The following summary of the capital stock and amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws of Energy Hunter Resources, Inc. does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of applicable law and to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

Common Stock

Except as provided by law or in a preferred stock designation, holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and do not have cumulative voting rights. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock are not entitled to vote on any amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of preferred stock) that relates solely to the terms of any outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of preferred stock) or pursuant to the DGCL. Subject to prior rights and preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares or series of preferred stock, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably in proportion to the shares of Common Stock held by them such dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise), if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividend payments. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable, and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon completion of this offering will be fully paid and non-assessable.

The holders of Common Stock have no preferences or rights of conversion, exchange, pre-emption or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to Common Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in our assets in proportion to the shares of Common Stock held by them that are remaining after payment or provision for payment of all of our debts and obligations and after distribution in full of preferential amounts to be distributed to holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock, if any.

Preferred Stock

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further stockholder approval, to establish and to issue from time to time one or more classes or series of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, covering up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Each class or series of preferred stock will have the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions determined by the board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, liquidation preferences, voting rights, conversion rights, preemptive rights and redemption rights. Except as provided by law or in a preferred stock designation, the holders of preferred stock will not be entitled to vote at or receive notice of any meeting of stockholders.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Our Amended and Restated Bylaws and Delaware Law

Some provisions of Delaware law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws will contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: acquisitions of us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise or removal of our incumbent officers and directors. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for our shares.

These provisions, which are discussed in more detail below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of

us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection and our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Delaware Law

Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a Delaware corporation, including those whose securities are listed for trading on the NASDAQ, from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we have elected not to be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Our Amended and Restated Bylaws

Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, which will become effective prior to the closing of this offering, may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in control or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.

Among other things, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws will:

Forum Selection

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, and subject to the Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for:

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of, and to have consented to, this forum selection provision. Although we believe these provisions will benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law for the specified types of actions and proceedings, the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors, officers, employees and agents. The enforceability of similar exclusive forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with one or more actions or proceedings described above, a court could rule that this provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation is inapplicable or unenforceable.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Matters

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the DGCL. Delaware law provides that directors of a company may be exculpated from personal liability for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liabilities:

Any amendment, repeal or modification of these provisions will be prospective only and would not affect any limitation on liability of a director for acts or omissions that occurred prior to any such amendment, repeal or modification.

Our amended and restated bylaws will also provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our amended and restated bylaws also will permit us to purchase insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of that person’s actions as our officer, director, employee or agent, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit indemnification and we intend to purchase such insurance for our directors and officers. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and intend to enter into indemnification agreements with future directors and officers. These agreements will require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We believe that the limitation of liability provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the indemnification agreements will facilitate our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Securities Transfer Corporation.

Listing

We have applied to list our Common Stock on the NASDAQ under the symbol “EHR.”

UNDERWRITING

We have entered into an underwriting agreement with FBR Capital Markets & Co., as representative of the underwriters named below, with respect to the shares subject to this offering. Subject to the terms and conditions in the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has, severally and not jointly, agreed to purchase from us on a firm commitment basis, the respective number of shares of our Common Stock set forth opposite its name in the table below:

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligation of the underwriters to purchase all of the shares being offered to the public is subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and the satisfaction of other conditions. These conditions include, among others, the continued accuracy of representations and warranties made by us in the underwriting agreement, delivery of legal opinions and the absence of any material changes in our assets, business or prospects after the date of this Offering Circular. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all of our shares in this offering, other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below, if they purchase any of our shares. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the representatives will have the right within 36 hours after such default to make alternative arrangements for one or more non-defaulting underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the commitments of the defaulting underwriter. If the representatives are unable to complete such arrangements within such 36-hour period, the representatives may terminate the offering if the commitment of the defaulting underwriter exceeds 10% of the aggregate commitment of the underwriters, otherwise the purchase commitments of the non-defaulting underwriters will be proportionately increased. If a new underwriter or underwriters are substituted for a defaulting underwriter, the Company or the non-defaulting underwriters will have the right to postpone the closing for a period of up to five business days in order that any necessary changes in this offering statement and Offering Circular and other documents may be effected.

The representatives of the underwriters have advised us that the underwriters propose to offer the Common Stock directly to the public at the public offering price listed on the cover page of this Offering Circular and to selected dealers, who may include the underwriters, at the public offering price less a selling concession not in excess of $     per share for the Common Stock. The underwriters may allow, and the selected dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $     per share for the Common Stock to brokers and dealers. After the completion of the offering, the underwriters may change the offering price and other selling terms. Sales of Common Stock made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriters.

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments which the underwriters or other indemnified parties may be required to make in respect of any such liabilities.

Commissions and Expenses

The following table provides information regarding the amount of the underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters by us. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments, if any.

We have applied to list our Common Stock on the NASDAQ under the symbol “EHR”. We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, including filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $1.2 million. We have agreed to reimburse the underwriters up to $364,000 for certain offering-related expenses incurred by them and the legal fees and disbursements of their counsel. In addition, certain associated persons and affiliates of FBR Capital Markets & Co. acquired 52,631 shares of our Common Stock in the initial exempt offering of Common Stock under Regulation D described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations.” These shares are deemed by FINRA to be underwriting compensation and are, therefore, subject to a lock-up pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these shares may not be sold during this offering, or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of these shares by any person for a period of 1,260 days immediately following the date of the qualification of or commencement of sales in this offering, subject to certain exceptions set forth in FINRA Rule 5110(g)(2).

Over-Allotment Option

We have granted the underwriters an over-allotment option. This option, which is exercisable for up to 30 days after the date of this Offering Circular, permits the underwriters to purchase a maximum of 648,750 additional shares of Common Stock from us, to cover over-allotments, if any, provided that such option will be exercisable only to the extent that the exercise of the option does not cause the aggregate offering price of this offering to exceed $50 million. If the underwriters exercise all or part of this option, each underwriter will be obligated to purchase its proportionate number of shares covered by the option at the public offering price that appears on the cover page of this Offering Circular, less the underwriting discount.

Right of First Refusal

In connection with this offering, we granted FBR Capital Markets & Co. and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated a right of first refusal, for a period of 12 months following the completion of the offering, to act as sole initial purchaser and/or placement agent for each of our private offerings and as an underwriter and bookrunner in connection with any public offering of our equity or equity-linked securities.

Directed Share Program

At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale at the initial public offering price up to           shares of our Common Stock being offered for sale to our directors, officers, certain employees and other parties who have a connection to the Company. We will offer these shares to the extent permitted under applicable regulations in the United States and in any other applicable countries. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the sales will be made by the representatives through a directed share program. The number of shares of Common Stock available for sale to the general public will be reduced to the extent that such persons purchase such reserved shares. Any reserved shares not so purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same basis as the other shares offered hereby. We have agreed to indemnify the representatives in connection with the directed share program, including for the failure of any participant to pay for its shares. Other than the underwriting discount described on the front cover of this Offering Circular, the underwriters will not be entitled to any commission with respect to the shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the directed share program. Shares offered in the directed share program will not be subject to lock-up agreements, with the exception of the shares to be issued to directors, officers and certain existing stockholders who are already subject to lock-up agreements, as described below.

Lock-Up Agreements

Our officers, directors and 1% or greater stockholders have agreed to a 180-day “lock-up” from the date of this Offering Circular relating to shares of our Common Stock that they beneficially own, including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of currently outstanding options and options which may be issued. This means that, for a period of 180 days following the date of this Offering Circular, such persons may not, with limited exceptions, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Common Stock, or enter into swaps or other transactions transferring the economic consequences of owning Common Stock, without the prior written consent of FBR Capital Markets & Co. and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated.

In addition, the underwriting agreement provides that we will not, for a period of 180 days following the date of this Offering Circular, with limited exceptions, offer, pledge, sell, distribute or otherwise dispose of or transfer any

Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, file a registration statement or offering statement for any of the foregoing, or enter into swaps or other transactions transferring the economic consequences of owning Common Stock, without the prior written consent of FBR Capital Markets & Co. and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated.

Stabilization

Until the distribution of the securities offered by this Offering Circular is completed, rules of the Commission may limit the ability of the underwriters to bid for and to purchase our Common Stock. As an exception to these rules, the underwriters may engage in transactions effected in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act that are intended to stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our Common Stock. The underwriters may engage in over-allotment sales, syndicate covering transactions, stabilizing transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M.

These stabilizing transactions, covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our securities or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our Common Stock. As a result, the price of our securities may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market.

Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the prices of our securities. These transactions may occur on any trading market. If any of these transactions are commenced, they may be discontinued without notice at any time.

Electronic Offering Circular

This Offering Circular may be made available in electronic format on Internet sites or through other online services maintained by the underwriters or their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and may be allowed to place orders online. Other than this Offering Circular in electronic format, any information on the underwriters’ or their affiliates’ websites and any information contained in any other website maintained by the underwriters or any affiliate of the underwriters is not part of this Offering Circular or the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the underwriters and should not be relied upon by investors.

Market for Shares

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiations between us and the representatives of the underwriters. In determining the initial public offering price, we and the representatives of the underwriters expect to consider a number of factors including:

Neither we nor the underwriters can assure investors that an active trading market will develop for the shares of our Common Stock, or that the shares will trade in the public market at or above the initial public offering price.

Relationships

Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have provided in the past to us and our affiliates and may provide from time to time in the future certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services for us and such affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. In addition, from time to time, certain of the underwriters and their affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in our debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future.

Selling Restrictions

Notice to Prospective Investors in Canada. The shares of Common Stock may be sold only to purchasers purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing, as principal that are accredited investors, as defined in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), and are permitted clients, as defined in National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations. Any resale of the shares of Common Stock must be made in accordance with an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.

Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if this offering statement (including any amendment thereto) contains a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

Pursuant to section 3A.3 (or, in the case of securities issued or guaranteed by the government of a non-Canadian jurisdiction, section 3A.4) of National Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts (NI 33-105), the underwriters are not required to comply with the disclosure requirements of NI 33-105 regarding underwriter conflicts of interest in connection with this offering.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock and there can be no assurance that a market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained after this offering. Future sales of our Common Stock in the public market, including shares issued upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants, or the availability of such shares for sale in the public market, could adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock. As described below, only a limited number of shares will be available for sale by our existing stockholders shortly after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Sales of our Common Stock in the public market after such restrictions lapse, or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock at such time and our ability to raise equity capital in the future. Although we have applied to list our Common Stock on the NASDAQ, we cannot assure you that there will be an active public market for our Common Stock.

Based on the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of December 1, 2016 and assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, upon the closing of this offering we will have outstanding an aggregate of 5,325,000 shares of Common Stock.

All of the shares sold in this offering by us will be freely tradable, except that any shares purchased in this offering by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, generally may be sold in the public market only in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

The remaining shares of Common Stock will be deemed “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These restricted securities are eligible for public sale only if they are registered under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act, which are summarized below. We expect that substantially all of these restricted securities will be subject to the lock-up agreements described below.

In accordance with the foregoing, and subject to Rule 144 and Rule 701 shares will be available for sale in the public market as follows:

Rule 144

Affiliate Resales of Restricted Securities

In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as in effect on the effective date of the offering statement of which this Offering Circular is a part, a person who is one of our affiliates and has beneficially owned shares of our Common Stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell in “broker’s transactions” or certain “riskless principal transactions” or to market makers, a number of shares within any three-month period, beginning on the date 90 days after the date of this Offering Circular, that does not exceed the greater of:

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates or persons selling shares on behalf of our affiliates are also subject to a certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us. In addition, if the number of shares being sold under Rule 144 by an affiliate during any three-month period exceeds 5,000 shares or has an aggregate sale price in excess of $50,000, the seller must file a notice on Form 144 with the Commission and the NASDAQ (assuming our Common Stock is listed on that exchange) concurrently with either the placing of a sale order with the broker or the execution of a sale directly with a market maker.

Non-Affiliate Resales of Restricted Securities

In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date of this Offering Circular, a person who is not an affiliate of ours at the time of sale, and has not been an affiliate at any time during the three months

preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least six months but less than a year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell the shares beginning on the 91st day after we have become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144, and will be subject only to the current public information requirements of Rule 144. If such person has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our affiliates, then such person is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144(b)(1) without regard to any Rule 144 restrictions, including the public company requirement and the current public information requirement.

Rule 701

Prior to this offering, there were no shares purchased under a written compensatory stock or option plan or other written contract entitling the holder to sell such shares in reliance on Rule 701.

Lock-Up Agreements

We and all of our directors and officers, as well as the other holders of substantially all shares of Common Stock (including securities exercisable or convertible into our Common Stock) outstanding immediately prior to this offering, have agreed or will agree that, without the prior written consent of FBR Capital Markets & Co., as representative of the underwriters in this offering, during the period from the date of this Offering Circular and ending on the date 180 days after the date of this Offering Circular, we and they will not, among other things:

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our Common Stock to a non-U.S. holder. For the purpose of this discussion, a non-U.S. holder is any beneficial owner of our Common Stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is an individual, corporation, estate or trust and is not any of the following:

If a partnership (or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, we urge partnerships that hold our Common Stock and partners in such partnerships to consult their tax advisors.

This discussion assumes that non-U.S. holders will hold our Common Stock issued pursuant to the offering as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation (e.g., alternative minimum tax) or any aspects of U.S. federal estate or gift taxation or state, local or non-U.S. taxation, nor does it consider any U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to non-U.S. holders that may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation, U.S. expatriates, insurance companies, tax-exempt or governmental organizations, dealers in securities or currency, banks or other financial institutions, investors whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, “controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies,” common trust funds, certain trusts, and hybrid entities, and investors that hold our Common Stock as part of a hedge, straddle or conversion transaction. Furthermore, the following discussion is based on current provisions of the Code, and Treasury Regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.

We have not sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following discussion, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions.

We urge each prospective investor to consult a tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of our Common Stock.

Dividends

We do not currently expect to make any distributions to holders of our Common Stock. However, if we do make distributions on our Common Stock, those distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce a holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Common Stock, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of Common Stock (see “—Gain on Disposition of Common Stock” below).

Any dividend (i.e., a distribution paid out of earnings and profits) paid to a non-U.S. holder of our Common Stock generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding either at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. To receive the benefit of a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must provide us with an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 certifying qualification for the reduced rate. If the non-U.S. holder holds the stock through a financial institution or other agent acting on the holder’s behalf, the holder will be required to provide appropriate

documentation to the agent. The holder’s agent will then be required to provide certification to us or our paying agent, either directly or through other intermediaries. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain non-U.S. holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

Dividends received by a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder of the United States) are exempt from such withholding tax. To obtain this exemption, the non-U.S. holder must provide us with an IRS Form W-8ECI (or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8) properly certifying such exemption. Such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding, will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the same graduated rates generally applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits, subject to any applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. In addition to the income tax described above, dividends received by corporate non-U.S. holders that are effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the corporate non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States) may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

A non-U.S. holder of our Common Stock may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under these rules if the non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of United States withholding tax and an appropriate claim for refund is timely filed with the IRS.

Gain on Disposition of Common Stock

A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of our Common Stock unless:

Unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same graduated rates generally applicable to U.S. persons. If such non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, such gain may also be subject to a branch profits tax (at a 30% rate or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits attributable to such gain, as adjusted for certain items.

A non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point above will be subject to a 30% U.S. federal income tax rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by certain U.S.-source capital losses.

We are, and expect to continue to be for the foreseeable future, a “United States real property holding corporation.” However, if our Common Stock becomes regularly traded on an established securities market, a non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of our Common Stock only if the non-U.S. holder actually or constructively holds, or held at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding the date of disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period, more than 5% of our Common Stock. At this time, we generally expect our Common Stock will be regularly traded on an established securities market. However, if our Common Stock is not considered to be so traded, all non-U.S. holders would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a disposition of our Common Stock, and a 15% withholding tax generally would apply to the gross proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock by a non-U.S. holder. In addition, a non-U.S. holder would have to file a U.S. federal income tax return reporting that gain. If such non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, such gain may also be subject to a branch profits tax (at a 30% rate or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits attributable to such gain, as adjusted for certain items.

Non-U.S. holders should consult any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Generally, we must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends paid to each non-U.S. holder, the name and address of the recipient, and the amount, if any, of tax withheld with respect to those dividends. A similar report is sent to each non-U.S. holder. These information reporting requirements apply even if withholding was not required. Pursuant to tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make its reports available to tax authorities in the recipient’s country of residence.

Payments of dividends to a non-U.S. holder may be subject to backup withholding (at the applicable rate) unless the non-U.S. holder establishes an exemption, for example, by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an appropriate IRS Form W-8 (or other suitable substitute or successor form). Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the beneficial owner is a U.S. person that is not an exempt recipient.

Payments of the proceeds from sale or other disposition by a non-U.S. holder of our Common Stock effected outside the United States by or through a foreign office of a broker generally will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, information reporting will apply to those payments if the broker does not have documentary evidence that the holder is a non-U.S. holder, an exemption is not otherwise established, and the broker has certain relationships with the United States.

Payments of the proceeds from a sale or other disposition by a non-U.S. holder of our Common Stock effected by or through a U.S. office of a broker generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (at the applicable rate) unless the non-U.S. holder establishes an exemption, for example, by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an appropriate IRS Form W-8 (or other suitable substitute or successor form). Notwithstanding the foregoing, information reporting and backup withholding may apply if the broker has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the holder is a U.S. person that is not an exempt recipient.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Additional Withholding Tax on Payments Made to Foreign Accounts

Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and other official guidance (commonly referred to as “FATCA”) on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on, or gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our Common Stock paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code), unless (1) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence, reporting and withholding obligations, (2) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence, reporting and withholding requirements in (1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States-owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Accordingly, the entity through which our Common Stock is held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Future Treasury Regulations or other official guidance may modify these requirements.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends on our Common Stock and will apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of such stock on or after January 1, 2019. The FATCA withholding tax will apply to all withholdable payments without regard to whether the beneficial owner of the payment would otherwise be entitled to an exemption from imposition of withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty with the United States or U.S. domestic law. We will not pay additional amounts to holders of our Common Stock in respect of amounts withheld.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in our Common Stock.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Energy Hunter Resources, Inc.
Grapevine, TX

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Energy Hunter Resources, Inc. as of July 15, 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from May 11, 2016 (inception date) to July 15, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Energy Hunter Resources, Inc. as of July 15, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from May 11, 2016 (inception date) to July 15, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

1.   Organization and Description of Business

Energy Hunter Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the acquisition, development, and production of oil and natural gas reserves in the United States. Key business objectives include:

The Company was incorporated on May 11, 2016 under the laws of State of Delaware. The Company is in the exploratory stage of development and has not commenced any drilling operations as of July 15, 2016. Operations to date have been devoted primarily to startup activities and the acquisition of certain unproved leaseholds. The Company will operate on a calendar year-end fiscal year.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash and highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Concentrations and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash accounts. The Company maintains deposits primarily in one financial institution, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.

Investment

Investment in common stock in which the Company holds less than 20% voting interest and on which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Under the cost method, an investor recognizes an investment in the stock of an investee as an asset and measured initially at cost. Subsequently, an investor recognizes as income dividends received that are distributed from earnings since the date of acquisition. A cost method investment is reviewed for impairment if factors indicate that a decrease in value of the investment has occurred. As of July 15, 2016, there was no impairment indicator on the cost of the Company’s cost method investment of $250,000.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas properties. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties and to drill and equip new development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to acquire mineral interests and drill exploratory wells are also capitalized pending determination of whether the wells have proved reserves or not. These capitalized costs will be amortized using the

Energy Hunter Resources, Inc.
   
Notes to Financial Statements

unit-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. Proceeds from sales of properties will be credited to property costs, and a gain or loss will be recognized when a significant portion of an amortization base is sold or abandoned. As of July 15, 2016, all properties were unproved and no drilling operations had begun.

Exploration costs, including geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals, will be charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs, including the cost of stratigraphic test wells, will be initially capitalized but will be charged to exploration expense if the well is determined to be nonproductive at that time. The determination of an exploratory well’s ability to produce must be made within one year from the completion of drilling activities. The acquisition costs of unproved acreage are initially capitalized and are carried at cost, net of accumulated impairment provisions, until such leases are transferred to proved properties or charged to exploration expense as impairments of unproved properties.

Provision for Depreciation, Depletion & Amortization (DD&A)

The Company will compute its provision for DD&A on its proved producing properties under the unit-of-production method. Proved acquisition costs will be depleted based on total proved reserves while well costs will be depleted based on proved developed reserves. Reserve estimates are expected to have a significant impact on the DD&A rate.

All properties are unproved and drilling has not yet begun, therefore, the Company has no production; however, when drilling begins and reserves are discovered, these disclosures are expected to be material to the Company’s financial statements.

Impairment of Unproved Properties

Quarterly, the Company reviews its unproved oil and gas properties to determine if there has been, in the Company’s judgment, impairment in value of each prospect that the Company considers individually significant. To the extent that the carrying cost of a prospect exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company will make a provision for impairment of unproved properties, and will record the provision as abandonments and impairments within exploration costs on its statement of operations. If the value is revised upward in a future period, the Company will not reverse the prior provision, and will continue to carry the prospect at a net cost that is lower than its estimated value. If the value is revised downward in a future period, an additional provision for impairment will be made in that period. The Company had recently acquired the majority of its unproved properties, as such, no impairment was recorded as of July 15, 2016.

Oil and Gas Reserves

Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of a reserve estimate depends on the quality of available geological and engineering data, the precision of and the interpretation of that data, and judgment based on experience and training. Annually, the Company will engage independent petroleum engineering firms to evaluate oil and gas reserves. All properties are unproved and drilling has not yet begun, however, when drilling begins and reserves are discovered, these disclosures are expected to be material to the Company’s financial statements.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company will record a liability relating to the plugging, abandonment and remediation of its properties at the end of their productive lives. The Company will compute its liability for asset retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated future cash flows related to each property. This will require the Company to use significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive lives of wells and its risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligations.

Asset retirement obligations are recorded as a liability at the estimated present value at the asset’s inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties in the accompanying balance sheet which is amortized to expense over the

Energy Hunter Resources, Inc.
   
Notes to Financial Statements

useful life of the asset. Periodic accretion of the discount on asset retirement obligations is recorded as an expense. All properties are unproved as such the Company does not currently have any legal abandonment obligations; however, when drilling begins, these disclosures are expected to be material to the Company’s financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

When future production revenues are generated, the Company will utilize the sales method of accounting for its natural gas, crude oil and NGL revenues, whereby revenue will be recorded based on the Company’s share of volumes sold, regardless of whether the Company has taken its proportional share of volumes produced. A payable liability will be recognized only to the extent that the Company has a gas imbalance on a specific property greater than the expected remaining proved reserves. The Company will recognize revenue from its gas gathering activities at contractual rates based on the volume of natural gas gathered and processed.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three-tiered hierarchy is summarized as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of accounts payable approximates the carrying amount due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company’s non-financial asset required to be measured at fair value on non-recurring basis consists principally of its investment in common stock. The Company designated its investment in common stock, which is initially recorded at cost, as Level 3 as it involves significant unobservable inputs.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates will be recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognized the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement will be reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax asset (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.

The Company will be subject to the Texas margin tax on its gross margin once it begins to generate revenue.

Notes to Financial Statements

Net Earnings or Loss per Share

Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. As of July 15, 2016, the Company did not have any outstanding dilutive securities.

3.   Oil and Gas Properties

Since inception, the Company has been involved in acquiring unproved oil and gas properties for its Gap Band and Mixon prospects. Unproved oil and gas properties consist of the following at July 15, 2016:

4.   Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, the Company has an ongoing business relationship with Investment Hunter, a company owned by the Company’s CEO. Investment Hunter provides for payment of general and administrative expenses of the Company which will be reimbursed by the latter at cost. Since inception up to July 15, 2016, Investment Hunter paid a total of $17,354 general and administrative expenses. This amount has not yet been reimbursed by the Company and is presented under “Related Party Payable” in the financial statements.

5.   Commitment and Contingencies

Litigation

While there is currently no litigation involving the Company, it may be subjected to certain claims and litigation arising in the normal course of business in the future.

Environmental Remediation

Various federal, state, and local laws and regulations covering the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, may affect the Company’s operations and the costs of its crude oil and gas exploration, development, and production operations. The Company does not anticipate that it will be required in the near future to expend significant amounts due to environmental laws and regulations, and accordingly no reserves have been recorded.

6.   Income Taxes

The significant component of the Company’s deferred tax asset as of July 15, 2016 pertains to net operating loss carryforwards amounting to $37,616. A full valuation allowance of $37,616 has been provided as management believes that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. The income tax provision differs from tax at the statutory rate due to the recording of a full valuation allowance.

7.   Subsequent Events

On November 29, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized a 5.7:1 reverse stock split of the shares of common stock outstanding as of December 1, 2016 (the “Stock Split”). The effects of the Stock Split have been retroactively applied to the periods presented in the financial statements and notes thereto.
