            to a company with continuing operations, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations.&#160; Management
            believes the going concern assumption to be appropriate for these financial statements.&#160; If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments might be necessary to adjust the carrying value of

            MMcf of natural gas, all of which have been acquired within the last fourteen months. The Company plans to continue to look for oil and natural gas investments and will use a combination of debt and equity financing to fund the acquisitions.
            The Company expects to also incur costs related to evaluating and acquiring oil and natural gas acquisitions for the foreseeable future. It is expected that management will attempt to raise additional capital for future investment and working

              amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from
              these estimates. Depletion of oil and natural gas properties is determined using estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the
              projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others,
              estimates of future recoverable reserves, commodity price outlooks and prevailing market rates of other sources of income and costs. Other significant estimates include, but are not limited to, asset retirement obligations, fair value of
              assets purchased in acquisitions, and taxes.</font></div>

              revenues from the sales of oil and natural gas to its customers and presents them disaggregated on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company enters into contracts with customers to sell its oil and natural gas
              production. Revenue on these contracts is recognized in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically, revenue is recognized when the Company's performance obligations under these contracts are
              satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the oil and natural gas to the purchaser. Control is generally considered transferred when the following criteria are met: (i)&#160;transfer of physical custody, (ii) transfer of
              title, (iii) transfer of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment of any repurchase rights or other similar rights. Given the nature of the products sold, revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the amount of consideration the Company
              expects to receive in accordance with the price specified in the contract. Consideration under the oil and natural gas marketing contracts is typically received from the purchaser one to two months after production. At September 30, 2019, the
              Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $880,000. </font></div>

Significant inputs to the valuation of proved
              and unproved oil and natural gas properties include estimates of: (i) recoverable reserves; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future commodity prices; and (v) a market-based weighted average costs of
              capital.&#160; The Company utilized a combination of the New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") strip pricing and consensus pricing to value the reserves, then applied various discount rates depending on the classification of reserves and other
              risk characteristics.&#160; Management utilized the assistance of a third-party valuation expert to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired.</font></div>

            Significant inputs to the valuation of proved oil and natural gas properties include estimates of: (i) recoverable reserves; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv)&#160;future commodity prices; and (v) a
            market-based weighted average costs of capital.&#160; The Company utilized a combination of the New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") strip pricing and consensus pricing to value the reserves, then applied various discount rates depending on the
            classification of reserves and other risk characteristics. Management utilized the assistance of a third-party valuation expert to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired.</div>

            <div style="line-height: 1.15; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">In July and August 2018, the Company entered into two unsecured note agreements totaling $25,000 with Mr. Anthony Kamin, who is also a member of the Company's Board of
              Directors.&#160; The notes are payable on demand and accrue interest at 8% interest.&#160; In February 2019, the Company and Mr. Kamin entered into an unsecured note agreement in the amount of $25,000.&#160; The note was due May 1, 2019, and accrued
              interest at 8%.&#160; In March 2019, Mr. Kamin used the $50,000 note balances to exercise some of his outstanding warrants to purchase common stock (see Note 8).</div>

            <div style="line-height: 1.15; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">In February 2019, the Company entered into five unsecured promissory note agreements with accredited investors, including the agreement with Mr. Kamin discussed above,
              totaling $90,000.&#160; The notes were due May 1, 2019,&#160; and accrued interest at 8%.&#160; One of the notes, in the amount of $15,000 was issued to Michael R. Morrisett, the Company's President. These notes and the related interest were paid in May
              2019.</div>

            <div style="line-height: 1.15; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">On March 27, 2019, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Senior Revolver Loan Agreement (the "Agreement") with Crossfirst Bank.&#160; Under the terms of the
              Agreement, the commitment amount was increased to $9,000,000 and the maturity date was extended until March 27, 2021.&#160; The Company borrowed $4,880,383 of new funds and paid $76,900 in loan origination fees which were added to the balance of
              the loan. The unamortized loan origination fees have been netted against the outstanding loan balance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain covenants including an
              EBITDAX to interest expense of at least 3:1 and funded debt to EBITDAX of 4:1 on a trailing 12-month basis. As a part of the First Amendment to the Agreement in conjunction with the Energy Quest II, LLC acquisition, the covenants were
              modified on a retrospective basis.</div>

            <div style="line-height: 1.15; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">On December 31, 2018, the Company and investors for all of the Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes (the Notes) entered into amended agreements whereby the
              maturity dates for the notes maturing December 31, 2018 were extended to December 31, 2019, the conversion feature of the notes was modified from $0.15 per share of common stock to $0.10 per share. Additionally, the Warrant Certificates to
              purchase shares of common stock of the Company, which were issued as a part of the original agreements, were repriced from $0.25 per share to $0.15 per share. The value allocated&#160;to the Warrant Certificates modification was the fair value
              determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 167%, risk free interest rate of 2.63% and an expected useful life of 12 months.&#160; The change in fair value of
              the Warrant Certificates as a result of the modifications of $139,985 was allocated to Paid in Capital and included as an expense in 2018.&#160; The Notes conversion features were equivalent to their intrinsic value at the date of modification.
              The remaining Debt Issue Costs as of September 30, 2019, from the original notes which mature at December 31, 2019, of $1,449 will be amortized as interest expense over the remaining life of the Notes.</div>

            conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on losses.&#160; As a result, if there is a loss from continuing operations, Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as Basic EPS.&#160; At September 30,
            2019 and 2018, the Company had 5,004,167 and 4,167 respectively, options outstanding that were not included in the calculation of earnings per share for the periods then ended.&#160; Such financial instruments may become dilutive and would then need
            to be included in future calculations of Diluted EPS.&#160; At September 30, 2019 and 2018, the outstanding options were considered anti-dilutive since the strike prices were above the market price and since the Company has incurred losses year to

            30, 2019 from $30,422 for the same period in 2018.&#160; The increase was due to only four days of production costs in the period ended September 30, 2018 caused by the Company&#8217;s first acquisition closing on September 27, 2018, compared to a full
            nine months of production in 2019.</div>

            increase was primarily due to options and warrants granted, wages and professional fees associated with administration of oil and natural gas properties and travel fees related to the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties and capital

          <font style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") periodically issues new accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting.&#160; The

          <div style="text-indent: 18pt; line-height: 1.15; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">&#160;</div>
          <div style="line-height: 1.15; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, "Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606," ("ASU 2018-18")
            which, among other things, clarifies that (i) certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of
            a unit of account, (ii) adds unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606, and (iii) requires that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third
            parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer. ASU 2018-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&#160;15, 2019, and
            interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of Topic 606. An entity should recognize the cumulative effect of
            initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the later of the earliest annual period presented and the annual period that includes the date of the entity's initial application of Topic 606.
            Management has reviewed the new standard in conjunction with its current practices and believes that it will not have a material impact on the financial statements.</div>

            entities to measure all expected credit losses for most financial assets held at the reporting date based on an expected loss model which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.&#160; Entities
            will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates.&#160; This ASU also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit
            losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity&#8217;s portfolio.&#160; ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal periods.&#160; Entities may
            adopt earlier as of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.&#160; We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update; the Company&#8217;s accounts receivable are from oil

Actual results could differ from these estimates.&#13;Depletion of oil and natural gas properties is determined using estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves. There are numerous&#13;uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and&#13;the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties&#13;are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves, commodity price outlooks&#13;and prevailing market rates of other sources of income and costs. Other significant estimates include, but are not limited to,&#13;asset retirement obligations, fair value of assets purchased in acquisitions, and taxes.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Interim financial statements.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&#13;The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company's independent registered&#13;public accounting firm.

The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Certain disclosures have been condensed&#13;in or omitted from these consolidated financial statements.

The Company enters into contracts with customers to sell its oil and natural gas production.&#13;Revenue on these contracts is recognized in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically,&#13;revenue is recognized when the Company's performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs with&#13;the transfer of control of the oil and natural gas to the purchaser. Control is generally considered transferred when the following&#13;criteria are met: (i)&amp;#160;transfer of physical custody, (ii) transfer of title, (iii) transfer of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment&#13;of any repurchase rights or other similar rights. Given the nature of the products sold, revenue is recognized at a point in time&#13;based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in accordance with the price specified in the contract. Consideration&#13;under the oil and natural gas marketing contracts is typically received from the purchaser one to two months after production.&#13;At September 30, 2019, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $880,000.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fair value measurements.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;#160;&#13;&lt;/i&gt;The Financial Accounting Standards Board (&amp;#34;FASB&amp;#34;) fair value measurement standards define fair value, establish a consistent&#13;framework for measuring fair value and establish a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair&#13;value.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Convertible debt - &lt;/i&gt;The carrying&#13;value of the convertible debt approximate fair value as of September 30, 2019.

Significant inputs to the valuation of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties&#13;include estimates of: (i) recoverable reserves; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future&#13;commodity prices; and (v) a market-based weighted average costs of capital.&amp;#160; The Company utilized a combination of the New&#13;York Mercantile Exchange (&amp;#34;NYMEX&amp;#34;) strip pricing and consensus pricing to value the reserves, then applied various discount&#13;rates depending on the classification of reserves and other risk characteristics.&amp;#160; Management utilized the assistance of a&#13;third-party valuation expert to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The fair value of asset retirement obligations&#13;is included in proved oil and natural gas properties with a corresponding liability in the table above.

These notes and the related interest were paid in May 2019.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;On March 27, 2019, the Company entered&#13;into a First Amendment to the Senior Revolver Loan Agreement (the &amp;#34;Agreement&amp;#34;) with Crossfirst Bank.&amp;#160; Under the terms&#13;of the Agreement, the commitment amount was increased to $9,000,000 and the maturity date was extended until March 27, 2021.&amp;#160;&#13;The Company borrowed $4,880,383 of new funds and paid $76,900 in loan origination fees which were added to the balance of the loan.&#13;The unamortized loan origination fees have been netted against the outstanding loan balance in accordance with generally accepted&#13;accounting principles. The Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain covenants including an EBITDAX to interest expense&#13;of at least 3:1 and funded debt to EBITDAX of 4:1 on a trailing 12-month basis. As a part of the First Amendment to the Agreement&#13;in conjunction with the Energy Quest II, LLC acquisition, the covenants were modified on a retrospective basis.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;On December 31, 2018, the Company and investors&#13;for all of the Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes (the Notes) entered into amended agreements whereby the maturity dates&#13;for the notes maturing December 31, 2018 were extended to December 31, 2019, the conversion feature of the notes was modified from&#13;$0.15 per share of common stock to $0.10 per share. Additionally, the Warrant Certificates to purchase shares of common stock of&#13;the Company, which were issued as a part of the original agreements, were repriced from $0.25 per share to $0.15 per share. The&#13;value allocated&amp;#160;to the Warrant Certificates modification was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation&#13;with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 167%, risk free interest rate of 2.63% and an&#13;expected useful life of 12 months.&amp;#160; The change in fair value of the Warrant Certificates as a result of the modifications&#13;of $139,985 was allocated to Paid in Capital and included as an expense in 2018.&amp;#160; The Notes conversion features were equivalent&#13;to their intrinsic value at the date of modification. The remaining Debt Issue Costs as of September 30, 2019, from the original&#13;notes which mature at December 31, 2019, of $1,449 will be amortized as interest expense over the remaining life of the Notes.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

Revenue on these contracts is recognized&#13;in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically, revenue is recognized when the&#13;Company's performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the&#13;oil and natural gas to the purchaser. Control is generally considered transferred when the following criteria are met: (i)&amp;#160;transfer&#13;of physical custody, (ii) transfer of title, (iii) transfer of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment of any repurchase rights or&#13;other similar rights. Given the nature of the products sold, revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the amount of consideration&#13;the Company expects to receive in accordance with the price specified in the contract. Consideration under the oil and natural&#13;gas marketing contracts is typically received from the purchaser one to two months after production. At September 30, 2019, the&#13;Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $880,000.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:RevenueRecognitionPolicyTextBlock>

The Company purchased Business First's position as the superior lienholder and seizing creditor of such oil&#13;and natural gas properties, which were owned by Warhorse Oil &amp;#38; Gas, LLC, for $450,000 plus $16,993 sheriff fees.

An amount equal to $90,000 was allocated to lease and well equipment and $376,993 was allocated to producing&#13;properties. An asset retirement obligation of $19,732 was recorded in conjunction with the purchase.&lt;/p&gt;</EMPR:AcquisitionOfWarhorseOilAndNaturalGasPropertiesTextBlock>

<td class="text"><p style="margin: 0pt"></p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Principles of consolidation.</i></b>
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Empire
Louisiana, LLC (&#34;Empire Louisiana&#34;) and Empire North Dakota, LLC (&#34;Empire North Dakota&#34;).&#160; All material intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Use of estimates in the preparation
of financial statements.</i></b> Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America (&#34;U.S. GAAP&#34;) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Depletion of oil and natural gas properties is determined using estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves. There are numerous
uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and
the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties
are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves, commodity price outlooks
and prevailing market rates of other sources of income and costs. Other significant estimates include, but are not limited to,
asset retirement obligations, fair value of assets purchased in acquisitions, and taxes.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Interim financial statements.</i></b>
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company's independent registered
public accounting firm. In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, management has made certain estimates
and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual
results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">Certain disclosures have been condensed
in or omitted from these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Inventory </i></b>Inventory consists
of oil in tanks which has not been delivered and is valued at the contract price to the buyer and pipe which has not yet been put
into production.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Revenue recognition.</i></b>&#160;
The Company recognizes revenues from the sales of oil and natural gas to its customers and presents them disaggregated on the Company's
consolidated statements of operations. The Company enters into contracts with customers to sell its oil and natural gas production.
Revenue on these contracts is recognized in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically,
revenue is recognized when the Company's performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs with
the transfer of control of the oil and natural gas to the purchaser. Control is generally considered transferred when the following
criteria are met: (i)&#160;transfer of physical custody, (ii) transfer of title, (iii) transfer of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment
of any repurchase rights or other similar rights. Given the nature of the products sold, revenue is recognized at a point in time
based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in accordance with the price specified in the contract. Consideration
under the oil and natural gas marketing contracts is typically received from the purchaser one to two months after production.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $880,000.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Fair value measurements.</i></b><i>&#160;
</i>The Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#34;FASB&#34;) fair value measurement standards define fair value, establish a consistent
framework for measuring fair value and establish a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair
value.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Convertible debt - </i>The carrying
value of the convertible debt approximate fair value as of September 30, 2019. Management's estimates are based on the assessment
of qualitative factors that are considered Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy as required by FASB ASC 820.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Oil and natural gas properties - </i>The
fair value of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties was measured using valuation techniques that convert the future
cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties
include estimates of: (i) recoverable reserves; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future
commodity prices; and (v) a market-based weighted average costs of capital.&#160; The Company utilized a combination of the New
York Mercantile Exchange (&#34;NYMEX&#34;) strip pricing and consensus pricing to value the reserves, then applied various discount
rates depending on the classification of reserves and other risk characteristics.&#160; Management utilized the assistance of a
third-party valuation expert to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">The fair value of asset retirement obligations
is included in proved oil and natural gas properties with a corresponding liability in the table above. The fair value was determined
based on a discounted cash flow model, which included assumptions of the estimated current abandonment costs, discount rate, inflation
rate and timing associated with the incurrence of these costs.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">The inputs used to value oil and natural
gas properties and asset retirement obligations require significant judgment and estimates made by management and represent Level
3 inputs.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Financial instruments and other- </i>The
fair values determined for accounts receivable, accounts payable &#8211; trade, accrued drilling costs and other current liabilities
were equivalent to the carrying value due to their short-term nature.</p><span></span>

That is the same as the standard deviation of the differences in the natural logarithms of the stock prices plus dividends, if any, over the period.</p></div>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">In July and August 2018, the Company entered
into two unsecured note agreements totaling $25,000 with Mr. Anthony Kamin, who is also a member of the Company's Board of Directors.&#160;
The notes are payable on demand and accrue interest at 8% interest.&#160; In February 2019, the Company and Mr. Kamin entered into
an unsecured note agreement in the amount of $25,000.&#160; The note was due May 1, 2019, and accrued interest at 8%.&#160; In
March 2019, Mr. Kamin used the $50,000 note balances to exercise some of his outstanding warrants to purchase common stock (see
Note 8).</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">In February 2019, the Company entered into
five unsecured promissory note agreements with accredited investors, including the agreement with Mr. Kamin discussed above, totaling
$90,000.&#160; The notes were due May 1, 2019,&#160; and accrued interest at 8%.&#160; One of the notes, in the amount of $15,000
was issued to Michael R. Morrisett, the Company's President. These notes and the related interest were paid in May 2019.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">On March 27, 2019, the Company entered
into a First Amendment to the Senior Revolver Loan Agreement (the &#34;Agreement&#34;) with Crossfirst Bank.&#160; Under the terms
of the Agreement, the commitment amount was increased to $9,000,000 and the maturity date was extended until March 27, 2021.&#160;
The Company borrowed $4,880,383 of new funds and paid $76,900 in loan origination fees which were added to the balance of the loan.
The unamortized loan origination fees have been netted against the outstanding loan balance in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain covenants including an EBITDAX to interest expense
of at least 3:1 and funded debt to EBITDAX of 4:1 on a trailing 12-month basis. As a part of the First Amendment to the Agreement
in conjunction with the Energy Quest II, LLC acquisition, the covenants were modified on a retrospective basis.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">On December 31, 2018, the Company and investors
for all of the Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes (the Notes) entered into amended agreements whereby the maturity dates
for the notes maturing December 31, 2018 were extended to December 31, 2019, the conversion feature of the notes was modified from
$0.15 per share of common stock to $0.10 per share. Additionally, the Warrant Certificates to purchase shares of common stock of
the Company, which were issued as a part of the original agreements, were repriced from $0.25 per share to $0.15 per share. The
value allocated&#160;to the Warrant Certificates modification was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation
with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 167%, risk free interest rate of 2.63% and an
expected useful life of 12 months.&#160; The change in fair value of the Warrant Certificates as a result of the modifications
of $139,985 was allocated to Paid in Capital and included as an expense in 2018.&#160; The Notes conversion features were equivalent
to their intrinsic value at the date of modification. The remaining Debt Issue Costs as of September 30, 2019, from the original
notes which mature at December 31, 2019, of $1,449 will be amortized as interest expense over the remaining life of the Notes.</p>

of proved oil and natural gas reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves
and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment
of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates
of future recoverable reserves, commodity price outlooks and prevailing market rates of other sources of income and costs. Other
significant estimates include, but are not limited to, asset retirement obligations, fair value of assets purchased in acquisitions,

sales of oil and natural gas to its customers and presents them disaggregated on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
The Company enters into contracts with customers to sell its oil and natural gas production. Revenue on these contracts is recognized
in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically, revenue is recognized when the
Company's performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the
oil and natural gas to the purchaser. Control is generally considered transferred when the following criteria are met: (i)&#160;transfer
of physical custody, (ii) transfer of title, (iii) transfer of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment of any repurchase rights or
other similar rights. Given the nature of the products sold, revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the amount of consideration
the Company expects to receive in accordance with the price specified in the contract. Consideration under the oil and natural
gas marketing contracts is typically received from the purchaser one to two months after production. At September 30, 2019, the
Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $880,000.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">The fair value of proved oil and natural
gas properties was measured using valuation techniques that convert the future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant
inputs to the valuation of proved oil and natural gas properties include estimates of: (i) recoverable reserves; (ii) production
rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv)&#160;future commodity prices; and (v) a market-based weighted average
costs of capital.&#160; The Company utilized a combination of the New York Mercantile Exchange (&#34;NYMEX&#34;) strip pricing
and consensus pricing to value the reserves, then applied various discount rates depending on the classification of reserves and
other risk characteristics. Management utilized the assistance of a third-party valuation expert to estimate the value of the oil
and natural gas properties acquired.</p>

totaled $3,267,380 and is included in proved oil and natural gas properties with a corresponding liability in the table above.&#160;
The fair value was determined based on a discounted cash flow model, which included assumptions of the estimated current abandonment
costs, discount rate, inflation rate and timing associated with the incurrence of these costs.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">The inputs used to value oil and natural

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">The accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements of Empire Petroleum Corporation (&#34;Empire&#34; or the &#34;Company&#34;) have been prepared in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the Company's financial position, the results of operations, and the cash flows for the interim period are included.&#160; All
adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.&#160; Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;The information contained in this
Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31,
2018 which are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#34;SEC&#34;)
on April 1, 2019.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;The Company has incurred significant
losses in recent years.&#160; The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company
to attain future profitable operations and/or additional debt or equity financing until profitable operations are achieved.&#160;
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of United States generally accepted accounting principles applicable
to a company with continuing operations, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and
will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations.&#160; Management believes
the going concern assumption to be appropriate for these financial statements.&#160; If the going concern assumption were not
appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments might be necessary to adjust the carrying value of assets and liabilities
and reported expenses.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;The continuation of the Company
is dependent upon the ability of the Company to raise capital and attain future profitable operations.&#160; The ultimate recoverability
of the Company's investment in oil and natural gas interests is dependent upon the existence and discovery of economically recoverable
oil and natural gas reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to further develop the interests, and the
ability of the Company to attain future profitable production.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;As of September 30, 2019, the Company
had $18,076 of&#160; cash and working capital of $657,168. The Company has proved reserves of approximately 3,500 Mbbls of oil
and 900 MMcf of natural gas, all of which have been acquired within the last fourteen months. The Company plans to continue to
look for oil and natural gas investments and will use a combination of debt and equity financing to fund the acquisitions. The
Company expects to also incur costs related to evaluating and acquiring oil and natural gas acquisitions for the foreseeable future.
It is expected that management will attempt to raise additional capital for future investment and working capital opportunities.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;Compensation of Officers and Employees</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;As of September 30, 2019, the Company
had two employees.&#160; No independent Board members received compensation from the Company in the first nine months of 2019
or 2018.&#160; &#160; For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company paid Mr. Morrisett $179,950 and Mr. Pritchard
$183,950 for services rendered, excluding the value of options.&#160; For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company
paid Mr. Morrisett $101,400 and Mr. Pritchard $101,962&#160; for services rendered. In addition, as of September 30, 2019 Mr.
Pritchard has outstanding advances of $33,017.</p><span></span>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">Diluted Earnings per Share (&#34;EPS&#34;)
gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume
conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on losses.&#160; As a result,
if there is a loss from continuing operations, Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as Basic EPS.&#160; At September 30,
2019 and 2018, the Company had 5,004,167 and 4,167 respectively, options outstanding that were not included in the calculation
of earnings per share for the periods then ended.&#160; Such financial instruments may become dilutive and would then need to be
included in future calculations of Diluted EPS.&#160; At September 30, 2019 and 2018, the outstanding options were considered anti-dilutive
since the strike prices were above the market price and since the Company has incurred losses year to date.</p>

and 625,000 vesting each in April 2020 and April, 2021. All of the options expire in April, 2029. The value allocated&#160;to the

dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 213%, risk free interest rate of 2.32% and an expected useful life of 5.375 years.
The fair value of the options of $812,500 was recorded as compensation expense and allocated to Paid in Capital.</p>

a process verbal and related sheriff's deed dated as of May 29, 2019 (the &#34;Sheriff's Deed&#34;) pertaining to two wells in
St. Landry Parish purchased from Business First Bancshares, Inc. d/b/a Business First Bank (&#34;Business First&#34;).</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">Pursuant to the Sheriff's Deed, the Company
acquired certain oil and natural gas properties located in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, including operated working interest in
two producing wells. The Company purchased Business First's position as the superior lienholder and seizing creditor of such oil
and natural gas properties, which were owned by Warhorse Oil &#38; Gas, LLC, for $450,000 plus $16,993 sheriff fees. The payment
was paid from loan proceeds under the loan agreement with CrossFirst Bank (see Note 7).</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company had been operating the two
wells for Business First since July 2018. Both wells combined produce approximately 31 barrels of oil per day. Working interest
purchased by the Company is 48.2% on the Jay Butler No. 1 well and 45% in the Richard No. 1 well.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company treated the acquisition as
an asset purchase. An amount equal to $90,000 was allocated to lease and well equipment and $376,993 was allocated to producing
properties. An asset retirement obligation of $19,732 was recorded in conjunction with the purchase.</p><span></span>
