have historically explored for and produced oil and natural gas through a non-operator business model. As a non-operator, we rely on
our operating partners to propose, permit, drill, complete and produce oil and natural gas wells. Before a well is drilled, the operator
provides all oil and natural gas interest owners in the designated well the opportunity to participate in the drilling and completion
costs and revenues of the well on a pro-rata basis. Our operating partners also produce, transport, market and account for all oil and
natural gas production. With recent acquisitions in 2020 and 2022, we now operate approximately 91% of our production.</FONT></P>

prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities
Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward-looking statements
are based on our management&rsquo;s belief and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe
that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future
financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels
of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.</I></FONT></P>

some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as &ldquo;<U>may</U>,&rdquo; &ldquo;<U>should</U>,&rdquo;

or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance
on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases,
beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current
expectations include, among other things, those listed under, and incorporated by reference in, &ldquo;<U><A HREF="#ba_005">Risk Factors</A></U>&rdquo; and
elsewhere in this prospectus. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect,
actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking
statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this prospectus, those documents incorporated by reference herein, and
those documents which we have filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely
and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements.</FONT></P>

price of oil and, to a lesser extent, natural gas and NGLs, heavily influences our revenue, profitability, cash flows, liquidity, access
to capital, present value and quality of our reserves, the nature and scale of our operations, and our future rate of growth. Oil, NGL,
and natural gas are commodities and, therefore, their prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes
in supply and demand. In recent years, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile. These markets will likely continue to
be volatile in the future. Further, oil prices and natural gas prices do not necessarily fluctuate in direct relation to each other.
The price of crude oil has experienced significant volatility over the last five years, with the price of a barrel of oil dropping below
$20 during the early part of 2020, due in part to reduced global demand stemming from the recent global COVID-19 outbreak, and subsequently
surging to over $120 a barrel in early March 2022 following Russia&rsquo;s invasion of Ukraine, before more recently trading around $100-$115
a barrel. A prolonged period of low market prices for oil and natural gas, or further declines in the market prices for oil and natural
gas, will likely result in capital expenditures being further curtailed and will adversely affect our business, financial condition and
liquidity. Additionally, lower oil and natural gas prices have, and may in the future, cause, a decline in our stock price. During the
year ended December 31, 2020, the daily WTI oil spot price ranged from a high of $63.27 per Bbl to a low of ($36.98) per Bbl and the
NYMEX natural gas Henry Hub spot price ranged from a high of $3.14 per MMBtu to a low of $1.33 per MMBtu. During the year ended December
31, 2021, the daily WTI oil spot price ranged from a high of $85.64 per Bbl to a low of $47.47 per Bbl and the NYMEX natural gas Henry
Hub spot price ranged from a high of $23.86 per MMBtu to a low of $2.43 per MMBtu. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the daily
WTI oil spot price ranged from a high of $123.64 per Bbl to a low of $75.99 per Bbl and the NYMEX natural gas Henry Hub spot price ranged
from a high of $6.70 per MMBtu to a low of $3.73 per MMBtu.</FONT></P>

in the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas can also adversely affect our ability to finance capital expenditures, make acquisitions,
raise capital and satisfy our financial obligations. In addition, declines in prices can reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that
we can produce economically and the estimated future cash flow from that production and, as a result, adversely affect the quantity and
present value of our proved reserves. Among other things, a reduction in the amount or present value of our reserves can limit the capital
available to us, and the availability of other sources of capital likely will be based to a significant degree on the estimated quantity
and value of the reserves.</FONT></P>

may be or in the future we may become subject to Wyoming&rsquo;s control share law. The law focuses on the acquisition of a &ldquo;<U>controlling
interest</U>&rdquo; which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares sufficient, but for the control share law, to enable the acquiring
person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (i) one-fifth or more
but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (iii) a majority or more. The ability to exercise such voting
power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others. The effect of the control share law is that the
acquiring person, and those acting in association with it, obtains only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by
a resolution of the shareholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of shareholders. The control share law contemplates
that voting rights will be considered only once by the other shareholders. Thus, there is no authority to strip voting rights from the
control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the shareholders do not grant voting rights to the control
shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell
its shares to others. If the buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, their shares do not become governed
by the control share law. If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with
a majority or more of the voting power, any shareholder of record, other than an acquiring person, who has not voted in favor of approval
of voting rights is entitled to demand fair value for such shareholder&rsquo;s shares.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">Wyoming&rsquo;s
control share law may have the effect of discouraging takeovers of the corporation. In addition to the control share law, Wyoming has
a business combination law which prohibits certain business combinations between Wyoming corporations and &ldquo;<U>interested shareholders</U>&rdquo;
for three years after the &ldquo;<U>interested shareholder</U>&rdquo; first becomes an &ldquo;interested shareholder,&rdquo; unless the
corporation&rsquo;s board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Wyoming law, an &ldquo;<U>interested shareholder</U>&rdquo;
is any person who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding
voting shares of the corporation, or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the three previous years
was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation.
The definition of the term &ldquo;<U>business combination</U>&rdquo; is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction
that would allow a potential acquiror to use the corporation&rsquo;s assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own
interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other shareholders. The effect of Wyoming&rsquo;s business combination
law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of the Company from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of
our board of directors.</FONT></P>

Company has designated 50,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which are currently outstanding. The Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock was issued at a value of $40 per share for an aggregate of $2 million. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock liquidation
preference, initially $2 million, increases by quarterly dividends of 12.25% per annum (the &ldquo;<U>Adjusted Liquidation Preference</U>&rdquo;).
At the option of the holder, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock could initially be converted into 1.33 shares of the
Company&rsquo;s $0.01 par value common stock (the &ldquo;<U>Conversion Rate</U>&rdquo;) for an aggregate of 66,667 shares. The Conversion
Rate is subject to anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and certain reorganization events and to price-based anti-dilution
protections. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is senior to other classes or series of shares of the Company with respect to dividend
rights and rights upon liquidation. No dividend or distribution will be declared or paid on junior stock, including the Company&rsquo;s
common stock, (1) unless approved by the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and (2) unless and until a like dividend has
been declared and paid on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
does not vote with the Company&rsquo;s common stock on an as-converted basis on matters put before the Company&rsquo;s shareholders.
However, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have the right to approve specified matters as set forth in the certificate
of designation and have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the event of a change
of control.</FONT></P>

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.</FONT></P>
