of financial statements.</I></B> Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America (&quot;U.S. GAAP&quot;) 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>

The Company recognizes revenues from the sales of oil and natural gas to its customers and presents them aggregated 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)&nbsp;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, 2020, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $610,000.</P>

of the Agreement, PIE will perform recompletion or workover on specified mutually agreed upon wells (&ldquo;Workover Wells&rdquo;)
owned by ET. To fund the work, PIE entered into a term loan agreement with ET dated August 1, 2020, whereby PIE will loan up to
$2,000,000, at an interest rate of 6% per annum, maturing August 7, 2024 unless terminated earlier by PIE. Proceeds of the loan
will be used for recompletion or workover of the Workover Wells. As of September 30, 2020 approximately $70,000 has been advanced
from the loan. As part of the Agreement, ET will assign to PIE a combined 85% working and revenue interest in the Workover Wells;
an assignment was completed in October 2020 for the initial three Workover Wells. Of the assigned interest, 70% working and revenue
interest will be used to repay the obligations under the term loan agreement. Once the term loan is repaid, PIE will reassign a
35% working and revenue interest to ET in each of the Workover Wells and retain a 50% working and revenue interest (See Note 10).</P>

when 3 month trailing average production from the Empire Texas properties have increased by 20% over the trailing 3 month trailing
average production as of July 2020. PIE can only exercise the $0.25 warrants once all existing non-PIE outstanding warrants to
purchase Empire common stock have been exercised or lapsed. For the $0.141 warrants, PIE may initially acquire 7,533,333 shares
of Empire common stock, however the amount may be increased if any existing non-PIE warrants are exercised prior to December 31,
2020 (See Note 11).</P>

owned subsidiary, Pardus Oil &amp; Gas Operating, LP, received an SBA Payroll Protection Plan (&ldquo;PPP&rdquo;) loan for $160,700.
The loan matures on May 5, 2022 and has an interest rate of 1%. There are no payments due until ten months after the covered period
which ended October 20, 2020, at which time the payment amount will be determined based on the portion of the loan which has not
been forgiven under criteria established by the SBA, using an eighteen-month amortization. The Company expects that the majority
of the loan amount will be forgiven based on currently published guidelines of the United States Small Business Administration.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Diluted Earnings per Share (&quot;EPS&quot;)
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. As a result, if there
is a loss from continuing operations, Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as Basic EPS. At September 30, 2020 and 2019,
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. Such financial instruments may become dilutive and would then need to be included in future calculations
of Diluted EPS. At September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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>

to our industry and our Company. The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have caused oil price volatility in 2020. In the
first three quarters of 2020, gains on settled derivatives offset a large portion of the impact of the recent decline in prices
and slower production, and we currently have derivative positions in place for a substantial amount of our expected remaining 2020
production. There can be no assurance that we will be able to add derivative positions to cover the remainder of our expected production
at favorable prices.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><U>The Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business</U></P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">During the first three quarters of 2020, we
did not experience any material impact to our ability to operate or market our production due to the direct or indirect impacts
of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security classifies
individuals engaged in and supporting exploration for and production of natural gas, oil and NGLs as &ldquo;essential critical
infrastructure workforce,&rdquo; and to date, state and local governments where our wells are located have followed this guidance
and exempted these activities from business closures. Should this situation change, our access to supplies or workers to drill,
complete and operate wells could be materially and adversely affected.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">However, as decreased transportation, manufacturing
and general economic activity levels prompted by COVID-19 and related governmental and societal actions have reduced the demand
for oil-based products such as gasoline, jet fuel and other refined products, space to store oil and condensate production is reaching
or may reach capacity in some areas, which is prompting purchasers of oil and condensate to reduce future purchase levels and,
in some cases, to claim force majeure for purchases already contracted. These situations may lead to production greater than storage
capacity later in the year, depending on weather and other seasonal factors. In addition, commodity pricing challenges may cause
our production costs to exceed the revenues associated with such production. To the extent that this decreased demand for our commodities
continues and our margins are not at acceptable levels or storage for our production is not available, we may have to reduce production
from or completely shut in portions of our currently producing wells. The inability to sell our production or the decision to potentially
reduce or shut in our production could materially and adversely affect our operating results and our ability to comply with the
financial covenants under our credit facility.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">There is uncertainty around the extent and
duration of the disruption. The degree to which the COVID-19 pandemic or any other public health crisis adversely impacts our results
will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration
and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, its impact on the economy and market
conditions, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Therefore, while we expect
this matter will likely disrupt our operations, the degree of the adverse financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this
time.</P>

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. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;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, 2019 which are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 30, 2020.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;The Company has incurred significant losses in recent years. 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. 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. Management believes the going concern assumption to be appropriate for these financial statements. 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.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px 7.9pt 0px 0px"&gt;The Company&amp;#8217;s impairment assessment of proved and unproved mineral properties is based on several factors including oil and gas spot market prices and estimated futures prices that existed at September 30, 2020. &lt;font style="letter-spacing:2pt"&gt;In&lt;/font&gt;2020, crude oil prices in both the spot market and futures market experienced significant volatility. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company recorded an impairment expense of $800,452 as a result of the decline in oil prices (See Note 3). Further, the effect of lower crude oil prices on the Company&amp;#8217;s future financial position or results of operations is not currently determinable due to broader economic and industry uncertainties, including the impact to the operators and other working interest owners of the properties in which the Company owns mineral interests.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;In the event crude oil or natural gas prices remain low, there is the risk that, among other things:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font:10pt times new roman;margin:0.1pt 0px 0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="border-spacing:0;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;font:10pt times new roman, times, serif;width:100%" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr style="height:15px;vertical-align:top"&gt; &lt;td style="width:42;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width:18;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:symbol"&gt;&amp;#183;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 15.55pt;"&gt;the Company&amp;#8217;s revenues, cash flows and profitability may decline substantially, which could also indirectly impact expected production by reducing the amount of funds available to acquire future mineral interests;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="border-spacing:0;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;font:10pt/98% times new roman, times, serif;width:100%" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr style="height:15px;vertical-align:top"&gt; &lt;td style="width:42;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width:18;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:symbol"&gt;&amp;#183;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 6.65pt;"&gt;reserves relating to the Company&amp;#8217;s proved properties may become uneconomic to produce resulting in impairment of proved properties; and&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;table style="border-spacing:0;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0.15pt;font:10pt times new roman, times, serif;width:100%" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr style="height:15px;vertical-align:top"&gt; &lt;td style="width:42;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width:18;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:symbol"&gt;&amp;#183;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 5pt;"&gt;operators and other working interest owners are unable to execute their drilling and exploration programs resulting in lower production or inability to prove reserves on unproved properties&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;The occurrence of certain of these events may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px 11.4pt 0px 0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;In early March 2020 there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 that continued into the second and third quarters and has resulted in changes in global supply and demand of certain mineral and energy products. These changes, including the magnitude and length of the economic downturn and any potential resulting direct and indirect negative impact to the Company cannot be determined, but they could have a prospective material impact to the Company&amp;#8217;s acquisition and project development activities, and cash flows and liquidity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Reclassification of prior year presentation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the year ended December 31, 2019 to reclassify certain utility and other deposits in the amount of $118,177 which had previously been included in prepaids.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the ability of the Company to raise capital and attain future profitable operations.

The Company has proved reserves which have been acquired within the last two years. 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.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;Compensation of Officers and Employees&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;As of September 30, 2020, the Company had six employees.

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.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Interim financial statements.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

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)&amp;nbsp;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, 2020, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $610,000.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fair value measurements.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") 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.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Convertible debt - &lt;/em&gt;The carrying value of the convertible debt approximate fair value as of December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2020 all of the convertible debt had been converted to shares of the Company&amp;#8217;s common stock. 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.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oil and natural gas properties - &lt;/em&gt;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. 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. For significant purchases, management utilized the assistance of a third-party valuation expert to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;The fair value of asset retirement obligations is included in proved oil and natural gas properties with a corresponding liability in the table above.

Proceeds of the loan will be used for recompletion or workover of the Workover Wells. As of September 30, 2020 approximately $70,000 has been advanced from the loan. As part of the Agreement, ET will assign to PIE a combined 85% working and revenue interest in the Workover Wells; an assignment was completed in October 2020 for the initial three Workover Wells. Of the assigned interest, 70% working and revenue interest will be used to repay the obligations under the term loan agreement. Once the term loan is repaid, PIE will reassign a 35% working and revenue interest to ET in each of the Workover Wells and retain a 50% working and revenue interest (See Note 10).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;In addition, PIE and Empire entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (&amp;#8220;Securities Agreement&amp;#8221;) whereby PIE purchased for $525,000 (a) 3,500,000 shares of Empire common stock, (b) warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, (c) warrants to purchase 1,800,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, (d) warrants to purchase 8,136,518 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, and (e) warrants to purchase up to 11,066,667 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.141 per share. PIE is obligated to exercise the $0.20 warrants within 45 days of when 3 month trailing average production from the Empire Texas properties have increased by 20% over the trailing 3 month trailing average production as of July 2020. PIE can only exercise the $0.25 warrants once all existing non-PIE outstanding warrants to purchase Empire common stock have been exercised or lapsed. For the $0.141 warrants, PIE may initially acquire 7,533,333 shares of Empire common stock, however the amount may be increased if any existing non-PIE warrants are exercised prior to December 31, 2020 (See Note 11).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:ResearchDevelopmentAndComputerSoftwareDisclosureTextBlock>

The notes were due May 1, 2019, and accrued interest at 8%. 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.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;On September 20, 2018 the Company entered into a Senior Revolver Loan Agreement (&amp;#8220;the Agreement&amp;#8221;) with CrossFirst Bank (&amp;#8220;CrossFirst&amp;#8221;). The Agreement was amended March 27, 2019 and September 30, 2020 (effective as of June 30, 2020) (the &amp;#8220;Amended Agreement&amp;#8221;). The Amended Agreement commitment amount is $8,700,000 which is reduced by $180,000 per calendar quarter ($8,520,000 at September 30, 2020) and the maximum amount that can be advanced under the Agreement is $20,000,000 and includes interest at Wall Street Journal Prime plus 150 basis points (4.75% as of September 30, 2020). The Agreement matures on March 27, 2021. Collateral for the loan is a lien on all of the assets of the Company&amp;#8217;s wholly owned subsidiaries, Empire Louisiana and Empire North Dakota, and a first priority mortgage lien, pledge of and security interest in not less than 80% of Empire Louisiana&amp;#8217;s and Empire North Dakota&amp;#8217;s producing oil, gas and other leasehold and mineral interests. The Agreement requires Empire Louisiana, beginning December 31, 2018 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 twelve month basis. The Company is not in compliance with these covenants of the Agreement at September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has an outstanding loan balance of $8,397,000 under the Agreement.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;In January 2020 three of the Senior Unsecured Promissory Note investors exercised the conversion feature and converted their $102,500 notes for 1,025,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

The note is payable in one installment on April 1, 2021 and bears interest at the one-year LIBOR rate (1% as of September 30, 2020).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;On May 5, 2020, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Pardus Oil &amp;amp; Gas Operating, LP, received an SBA Payroll Protection Plan (&amp;#8220;PPP&amp;#8221;) loan for $160,700. The loan matures on May 5, 2022 and has an interest rate of 1%. There are no payments due until ten months after the covered period which ended October 20, 2020, at which time the payment amount will be determined based on the portion of the loan which has not been forgiven under criteria established by the SBA, using an eighteen-month amortization. The Company expects that the majority of the loan amount will be forgiven based on currently published guidelines of the United States Small Business Administration.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;In August 2020, concurrent with the Joint Development Agreement with Petroleum and Independent Exploration, LLC (&amp;#8220;PIE&amp;#8221;), the Company entered into a term loan agreement dated August 1, 2020, whereby PIE will loan up to $2,000,000, at an interest rate of 6% per annum, maturing August 7, 2024 unless terminated earlier by PIE. The loan proceeds will be used for recompletion or workover of certain designated wells. In addition, the Company assigned a 70% working and revenue interest to PIE in the designated wells which will be applied to repayment of the loan. As of September 30, 2020, approximately $70,000 has been advanced from the loan (See Note 8).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:DebtDisclosureTextBlock>

The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on losses. As a result, if there is a loss from continuing operations, Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as Basic EPS. At September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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. Such financial instruments may become dilutive and would then need to be included in future calculations of Diluted EPS. At September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;In March 2019, 1,446,668 outstanding $0.15 warrants were converted to shares of common stock of the Company.

The value allocated&amp;nbsp;to the warrants was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&amp;nbsp; no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 217%, risk free interest rate of 1.92% and an expected useful life of 31 months. The fair value of the warrants of $58,380 was recorded as compensation expense and allocated to Paid in Capital.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;On April 3, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Empire Petroleum Corporation 2019 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"). The total number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to stock options under the Stock Option Plan is 10,000,000. Further, on April 3, 2019 the Company granted Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Morrissett each, options to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.33 per share. The options vest in three installments with 1,250,000 vesting immediately and 625,000 vesting each in April 2020 and April 2021. All of the options expire in April, 2029. The value allocated&amp;nbsp;to the vested options was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&amp;nbsp; no 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 vested options of $812,500 was recorded as compensation expense and allocated to Paid in Capital in 2019. In 2020, the fair value of the options which vested in April 2020 of $406,250 was recorded as compensation expense and allocated to Paid in Capital. The fair of the remaining unvested options is $406,250 as of September 30, 2020.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;On April 3, 2019 the Board of Directors of the Company amended certain warrant certificates which had been issued to Mr. Kamin covering 3,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company.

PIE is obligated to exercise the $0.20 warrants within 45 days of when 3 month trailing average production from the Empire Texas properties have increased by 20% over the trailing 3 month trailing average production as of July 2020. PIE can only exercise the $0.25 warrants once all existing non-PIE outstanding warrants to purchase Empire common stock have been exercised or lapsed. For the $0.141 warrants, PIE may initially acquire 7,533,333 shares of Empire common stock, however the amount may be increased if any existing non-PIE warrants are exercised prior to December 31, 2020. The value allocated&amp;nbsp;to the warrants was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&amp;nbsp; no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 147%, risk free interest rate of .19% and an expected useful life of 4 years.

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.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:UseOfEstimates>

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)&amp;nbsp;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, 2020, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $610,000.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:RevenueRecognitionPolicyTextBlock>

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. 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. For significant purchases, management utilized the assistance of a third-party valuation expert to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;The fair value of asset retirement obligations is included in proved oil and natural gas properties with a corresponding liability in the table above.

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-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><strong><em>Interim financial statements.</em></strong> The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

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)&nbsp;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, 2020, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $610,000.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><strong><em>Fair value measurements.</em></strong> The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") 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-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Convertible debt - </em>The carrying value of the convertible debt approximate fair value as of December 31, 2019.

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. 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. For significant purchases, 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-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; 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.

Under the terms of the Agreement, PIE will perform recompletion or workover on specified mutually agreed upon wells (&#8220;Workover Wells&#8221;) owned by ET. To fund the work, PIE entered into a term loan agreement with ET dated August 1, 2020, whereby PIE will loan up to $2,000,000, at an interest rate of 6% per annum, maturing August 7, 2024 unless terminated earlier by PIE. Proceeds of the loan will be used for recompletion or workover of the Workover Wells. As of September 30, 2020 approximately $70,000 has been advanced from the loan. As part of the Agreement, ET will assign to PIE a combined 85% working and revenue interest in the Workover Wells; an assignment was completed in October 2020 for the initial three Workover Wells. Of the assigned interest, 70% working and revenue interest will be used to repay the obligations under the term loan agreement. Once the term loan is repaid, PIE will reassign a 35% working and revenue interest to ET in each of the Workover Wells and retain a 50% working and revenue interest (See Note 10).</p> <p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px">In addition, PIE and Empire entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (&#8220;Securities Agreement&#8221;) whereby PIE purchased for $525,000 (a) 3,500,000 shares of Empire common stock, (b) warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, (c) warrants to purchase 1,800,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, (d) warrants to purchase 8,136,518 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, and (e) warrants to purchase up to 11,066,667 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.141 per share. PIE is obligated to exercise the $0.20 warrants within 45 days of when 3 month trailing average production from the Empire Texas properties have increased by 20% over the trailing 3 month trailing average production as of July 2020. PIE can only exercise the $0.25 warrants once all existing non-PIE outstanding warrants to purchase Empire common stock have been exercised or lapsed. For the $0.141 warrants, PIE may initially acquire 7,533,333 shares of Empire common stock, however the amount may be increased if any existing non-PIE warrants are exercised prior to December 31, 2020 (See Note 11).</p></div><span></span>

The loan matures on May 5, 2022 and has an interest rate of 1%. There are no payments due until ten months after the covered period which ended October 20, 2020, at which time the payment amount will be determined based on the portion of the loan which has not been forgiven under criteria established by the SBA, using an eighteen-month amortization. The Company expects that the majority of the loan amount will be forgiven based on currently published guidelines of the United States Small Business Administration.</p> <p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px">In August 2020, concurrent with the Joint Development Agreement with Petroleum and Independent Exploration, LLC (&#8220;PIE&#8221;), the Company entered into a term loan agreement dated August 1, 2020, whereby PIE will loan up to $2,000,000, at an interest rate of 6% per annum, maturing August 7, 2024 unless terminated earlier by PIE.

The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on losses. As a result, if there is a loss from continuing operations, Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as Basic EPS. At September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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. Such financial instruments may become dilutive and would then need to be included in future calculations of Diluted EPS. At September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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> <p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px">In March 2019, 1,446,668 outstanding $0.15 warrants were converted to shares of common stock of the Company.

The value allocated&nbsp;to the warrants was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&nbsp; no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 217%, risk free interest rate of 1.92% and an expected useful life of 31 months. The fair value of the warrants of $58,380 was recorded as compensation expense and allocated to Paid in Capital.&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px">On April 3, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Empire Petroleum Corporation 2019 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"). The total number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to stock options under the Stock Option Plan is 10,000,000. Further, on April 3, 2019 the Company granted Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Morrissett each, options to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.33 per share. The options vest in three installments with 1,250,000 vesting immediately and 625,000 vesting each in April 2020 and April 2021. All of the options expire in April, 2029. The value allocated&nbsp;to the vested options was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&nbsp; no 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 vested options of $812,500 was recorded as compensation expense and allocated to Paid in Capital in 2019. In 2020, the fair value of the options which vested in April 2020 of $406,250 was recorded as compensation expense and allocated to Paid in Capital. The fair of the remaining unvested options is $406,250 as of September 30, 2020.</p> <p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px">On April 3, 2019 the Board of Directors of the Company amended certain warrant certificates which had been issued to Mr. Kamin covering 3,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company. The original warrants expired on December 31, 2021 and had exercise prices of $0.15 and $0.25 for 500,000 and 2,500,000 shares, respectively. The warrants were extended to expire on April 2, 2029. The value allocated&nbsp;to the warrants was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&nbsp; no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 213%, risk free interest rate of 2.32% and an expected useful life of 5 years. The fair value of the warrants of $620,750 was recorded as compensation expense and allocated to Paid in Capital.</p> <p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align:justify;font:10pt times new roman;margin:0px">On August 7, 2020 concurrently with the Joint Development Agreement with Petroleum &amp; Independent Exploration, LLC and related entities (&#8220;PIE&#8221;), the companies entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (&#8220;Securities Agreement&#8221;) whereby PIE purchased for $525,000 (a) 3,500,000 shares of Empire common stock, (b) warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, (c) warrants to purchase 1,800,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, (d) warrants to purchase 8,136,518 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, and (e) warrants to purchase up to 11,066,667 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.141 per share. PIE is obligated to exercise the $0.20 warrants within 45 days of when 3 month trailing average production from the Empire Texas properties have increased by 20% over the trailing 3 month trailing average production as of July 2020. PIE can only exercise the $0.25 warrants once all existing non-PIE outstanding warrants to purchase Empire common stock have been exercised or lapsed. For the $0.141 warrants, PIE may initially acquire 7,533,333 shares of Empire common stock, however the amount may be increased if any existing non-PIE warrants are exercised prior to December 31, 2020. The value allocated&nbsp;to the warrants was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&nbsp; no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 147%, risk free interest rate of .19% and an expected useful life of 4 years. The fair value of the warrants of $450,848 was allocated to Paid in Capital (See Note 8).</p></div><span></span>

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.

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)&nbsp;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, 2020, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $610,000.</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p></div><span></span>
