Before you make a decision to buy our securities, in addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed below under &#8220;Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements,&#8221; you should carefully consider the risk factors and all of the other information included in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus, including those included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any subsequently filed Current Reports on Form 8-K (excluding any information furnished pursuant to Item&#160;2.02 or Item&#160;7.01 on any Current Report on Form 8-K). If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additionally, the risks and uncertainties described below in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or in any document incorporated by reference herein or therein are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In addition, the United States securities markets have recently experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated to the operating performance of companies in these markets. Market fluctuations and broad market, economic, and industry factors may negatively affect the price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. Any volatility or a significant decrease in the market price of our common stock could also negatively affect our ability to make acquisitions using common stock. Further, if we were to be the object of securities class action litigation as a result of volatility in our common stock price or for other reasons, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management&#8217;s attention and resources, which could negatively affect our financial results. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The selling stockholders are not obligated to sell any of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus. Because the selling stockholders identified in the table below may sell some or all of the shares of our common stock owned by them that are included in this prospectus, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of such shares of our common stock, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of this offering. In addition, subject to the Stronghold Registration Rights Agreement, the selling stockholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, shares of our common stock they hold in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the selling stockholders provided the information set forth on the table below. Therefore, for purposes of the following table and as of the date of this prospectus we have assumed that the selling stockholders will sell all of the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by them that are covered by this prospectus, but will not otherwise sell any other shares of our common stock that they may currently own. </font>

Under NRS Sections&#160;78.378 to 78.3793, an acquiring person who acquires a controlling interest in a company&#8217;s common shares may not exercise voting rights on any of these shares unless these voting rights are granted by a majority vote of our disinterested stockholders at a special stockholders&#8217; meeting held upon the request and at the expense of the acquiring person. We have expressly opted-out of, or elect not to be governed by, the &#8220;Acquisition of Controlling Interest&#8221; provisions contained in NRS Sections&#160;78.378 through 78.3793, inclusive, or any successor statutes. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase shares of preferred stock, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable the holders to block such a transaction; or the issuance might facilitate a business combination by including voting rights that would provide a required&#160;percentage vote of the stockholders. In addition, under some circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the common stock. Although our Board is required to make any determination to issue preferred stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our stockholders, the Board could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some or a majority of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of the stock. The Board does not currently intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law or the rules of any market on which our securities are traded. </font>

To the extent distributions are not declared and paid, then on each distribution date the unpaid distribution per share will be added to the per share liquidation preference described below and used for the purpose of the accrual of future distributions, the determination of the liquidation preference and determination of the number of shares of common stock issuable on conversion.

Upon receiving stockholder approval, each share of issued Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into such number of shares of common stock determined by dividing (i)&#160;the liquidation preference (described below) as of the conversion date by (ii)&#160;the conversion price which is initially $3.60 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits and distributions, recapitalizations, exchanges and similar actions), such calculation, as so adjusted from time to time, the &#8220;Conversion Rate&#8221;. The initial Conversion Rate is 277.7778 shares of common stock for each share of Preferred Stock. The Company is in the process of obtaining stockholder approval of the conversion of Preferred Stock into 42,548,903 shares of common stock and expects to receive the approval in the fourth quarter of 2022. </font>

A &#8220;liquidation event&#8221; means (i)&#160;any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or (ii)&#160;the consummation of a change of control (which generally means (x)&#160;the acquisition by a person of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company); (y)&#160;approval of the sale or disposition by the Company of substantially all the assets of the Company; or (z)&#160;approval by the stockholders of the Company of any merger, consolidation or statutory share exchanges as a result of the Company stockholders immediately prior to the effective date of such action have less than 50% percent of the voting power in selection of directors of the surviving corporation. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Company&#8217;s articles of incorporation contain provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. Consequently, our directors generally are not personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of the Company&#8217;s directors or officers or is or was serving at the Company&#8217;s request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that the Company may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of the Company&#8217;s employees or agents or is or was serving at its request as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions included in the Company&#8217;s articles of incorporation, bylaws and in any indemnification agreements that the Company may enter into with its directors and executive officers may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against its directors and executive officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against its directors and executive officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit the Company and its stockholders. Further, a stockholder&#8217;s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and executive officers as required by these indemnification provisions. </font>

For the purposes of covering a syndicate short position or pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of these securities, the underwriters may place bids for these securities or effect purchases of these securities in the open market. A syndicate short position may also be covered by exercise of an over-allotment option, if one is granted to the underwriters. Finally, the underwriters may impose a penalty bid on certain underwriters and dealers. This means that the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. The underwriters will not be required to engage in any of these activities and any such activities, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. </font>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Under the provisions of Section&#160;78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), the Company is required to indemnify any present or former officer or director against expenses arising out of legal proceedings in which the director or officer becomes involved by reason of being a director or officer, if the director or officer is successful in the defense of such proceedings. Section&#160;78.7502 also provides that the Company may indemnify a director or officer in connection with a proceeding in which he is not successful in defending if it is determined that he acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, in the case of a criminal action, if it is determined that he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, and in either event, provided the director is not liable for a breach of the duties set out in Section&#160;78.138 of the NRS. Liabilities for which a director or officer may be indemnified include amounts paid in satisfaction of settlements, judgments, fines and other expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees incurred in connection with such proceedings). In a stockholder derivative action, no indemnification may be paid in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the director or officer has been adjudged to be liable to the Company (except for expenses allowed by a court). </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Company&#8217;s articles of incorporation and bylaws also provide for indemnification of directors and officers of the Company to the full extent permitted by applicable law. Under the provisions of the Company&#8217;s bylaws, the Company is required to indemnify officers or directors (while the current provisions of Section&#160;78.7502 of the NRS provide for &#8220;permissive&#8221; indemnification). Except with respect to stockholder derivative actions, the Bylaw provisions generally state that the director or officer will be indemnified against expenses, amounts paid in settlement and judgments, fines, penalties and/or other amounts incurred with respect to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, provided that (i)&#160;such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and (ii)&#160;with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The foregoing standards also apply with respect to the indemnification for expenses incurred in a stockholder derivative suit. However, a director or officer may only be indemnified for settlement amounts or judgments incurred in a derivative suit to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In accordance with the NRS, the Company&#8217;s articles of incorporation contain a provision to limit the personal liability of the directors of the Company for violations of their fiduciary duty. This provision eliminates each director&#8217;s liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages except (i)&#160;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional or reckless misconduct or a knowing violation of law, and (ii)&#160;under Section&#160;78.300 of the NRS providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their fiduciary duty including any such actions involving gross negligence. </font>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We have acted as counsel to Ring Energy,&nbsp;Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the &ldquo;<U>Company</U>&rdquo;), in connection with the preparation and filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
 &ldquo;<U>Commission</U>&rdquo;) of a Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-3 (the &ldquo;<U>Registration Statement</U>&rdquo;) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &ldquo;<U>Securities Act</U>&rdquo;), relating to the registration under the Securities Act
and the proposed offering and sale from time to time pursuant to Rule&nbsp;415 under the Securities Act by the selling stockholders named
therein (the &ldquo;<U>Selling Stockholders</U>&rdquo;), together or separately, of up to 63,888,889 shares of the Company&rsquo;s common
stock, $0.001 par value per share. Of these shares, 21,339,986 are presently issued and outstanding (the &ldquo;<U>Initial Shares</U>&rdquo;).
An additional 42,548,903 shares (the &ldquo;<U>Conversion Shares</U>&rdquo;) will be issued upon the automatic conversion of 153,176 shares
of the Company&rsquo;s Series&nbsp;A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We have examined signed copies of the Registration Statement filed

Preferred Stock and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions hereinafter set forth.</P>

limitations, and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Initial Shares have been duly authorized and are validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and that the preferred stock has been duly authorized and upon conversion thereof in accordance with
the terms of the preferred stock, the Conversion Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.</P>
