GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR COMPANY

 

Barrel Energy Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 27, 2014. Barrel Energy Inc. is an oil and gas company with a focus on assets located in North America. Currently the company holds oil & gas leases in Alberta, Canada and its strategy is to exploit high impact and development oil plays and liquids-rich deep basin gas plays through the development of its asset base. The company currently holds interest in 2560 acres of oil & gas leases known as the Bison Property. Our near term business strategy is to conduct exploration activities on the Bison Property.

 

We are a development stage company and have not yet generated any revenues.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in these securities involves an exceptionally high degree of risk and is extremely speculative in nature. Following are what we believe are all of the material risks involved if you decide to purchase shares in this offering.

 

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY

 

THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL DISCOVER OIL OR NATURAL GAS IN ANY COMMERCIAL QUANTITY ON OUR PROPERTIES.

 

Exploration for economic reserves of oil and natural gas is subject to a number of risks. There is competition for the acquisition of available oil and natural gas properties. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or natural gas wells. If we cannot discover oil or natural gas in any commercial quantity thereon, our business will fail.

 

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PROVEN RESERVES OF OIL OR GAS.

 

We do not have any proven reserves of oil or gas. According to the Report dated September 30, 2014 of Marlin Consulting Group (“Marlin”), there would contingent probable reserves of 7.57 billion cubic feet (BCF) of gas on the acreage on which the existing non-productive well is located, as to which the Company has an 81% working interest. However a re-work of the existing gas well would be necessary, which could cost $300,000 or more and there is no assurance that a re-work of the well would be successful. Any reserves on the remaining acreage of the leases would be possible reserves, which may not be relied upon for any purpose. Accordingly, you may not reasonably assume that the Company has any reserves on its leases.

 

EVEN IF WE ARE ABLE TO ENGAGE IN EXPLORATION ON OUR PROPERTY AND ESTABLISH THAT IT CONTAINS OIL OR NATURAL GAS IN COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITIES, THE POTENTIAL PROFITABILITY OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS VENTURES DEPENDS UPON FACTORS BEYOND THE CONTROL OF OUR COMPANY.

 

The potential profitability of oil and natural gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and natural gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social and economic environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. In addition, adverse weather conditions can hinder drilling operations. These changes and events may materially affect our future financial performance. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. Also even with a productive well may become uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or natural gas from the well. Production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. Also, the marketability of oil and natural gas which may be acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous related factors, including the proximity and capacity of oil and natural gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production, environmental protection, and quality of natural gas produced all of which could result in greater expenses than revenue generated by the well.

 

 
7

  

THE MARKETABILITY OF NATURAL RESOURCES WILL BE AFFECTED BY NUMEROUS FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL WHICH MAY RESULT IN US NOT RECEIVING AN ADEQUATE RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL TO BE PROFITABLE OR VIABLE.

 

The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include market fluctuations in oil and natural gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of oil and natural gas and environmental protection regulations. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

 

OIL AND NATURAL GAS OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO COMPREHENSIVE REGULATION WHICH MAY CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL DELAYS OR REQUIRE CAPITAL OUTLAYS IN EXCESS OF THOSE ANTICIPATED CAUSING AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR COMPANY.

 

Oil and natural gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and natural gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages. To date, we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in the future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.

 

EXPLORATORY DRILLING INVOLVES MANY RISKS AND WE MAY BECOME LIABLE FOR RECLAMATION OR OTHER LIABILITIES WHICH MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR FINANCIAL POSITION.

 

Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour natural gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, and other risks are involved. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which we cannot economically insure.

 

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS WHICH MAY PREVENT OR DELAY THE COMMENCEMENT OR CONTINUATION OF OUR OPERATIONS.

 

In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given operation. Specifically, we may be subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.

OUR AUDITORS HAVE ISSUED A GOING CONCERN OPINION

 

Our independent registered accountants’ audit report stated that we have had significant operating losses, a working capital deficiency and that we are in need for a new capital raise, which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If Management is unable to address these uncertainties in a successful manner, we could go out of business, with the result that you would lose your investment.

 

SINCE WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY, HAVE GENERATED NO REVENUES AND LACK AN OPERATING HISTORY, AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OFFERED HEREIN IS HIGHLY RISKY AND COULD RESULT IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL IN OUR BUSINESS PLANS.

 

Our company was incorporated on January 27, 2014; we have not yet commenced our exploration activities on our Bison oil and gas leases; and we have not yet realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future prospects can be made. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods as we incur significant expenses associated with the initial startup of our business. Further, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in realizing revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of our business or force us to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of our equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares you purchase in this offering.

 

WE DO NOT YET HAVE ANY SUBSTANTIAL ASSETS BEYOND OUR OIL AND GAS LEASES AND ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE PROCEEDS OF THIS OFFERING TO FULLY FUND OUR BUSINESS. IF WE DO NOT SELL AT LEAST HALF OF THE SHARES IN THIS OFFERING AND RECEIVE AT LEAST HALF OF THE MAXIMUM PROCEEDS, WE WILL HAVE TO SEEK ALTERNATIVE FINANCING TO COMPLETE OUR BUSINESS PLANS OR ABANDON THEM.

 

The only cash currently available is the cash paid by our founders for the acquisition of their shares as well as loans from Mr. Sangha. In the event we do not sell all of the shares and raise the total offering proceeds, there can be no assurance that we would be able to raise the additional funding needed to implement our business plans or that unanticipated costs will not increase our projected expenses for the year following completion of this offering. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

WE CANNOT PREDICT WHEN OR IF WE WILL PRODUCE REVENUES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A TOTAL LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL IN OUR BUSINESS PLANS.

 

We have not yet generated any revenues from operations. In order for us to continue with our plans and open our business, we must raise our initial capital to do so through this offering. The timing of the completion of the milestones needed to commence operations and generate revenues is contingent on the success of this offering. There can be no assurance that we will generate revenues or that revenues will be sufficient to maintain our business. As a result, you could lose all of your investment if you decide to purchase shares in this offering and we are not successful in our proposed business plans.

 

THE LOSS OF THE SERVICES OF GURMINDER SANGHA COULD SEVERELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR PRODUCTS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF REVENUES AND YOUR ABILITY TO EVER SELL ANY SHARES YOU PURCHASE IN THIS OFFERING.

 

Our performance is substantially dependent upon our President, Gurminder Sangha. The loss of his services could result in a loss of revenues, which could result in a reduction of the value of any shares you purchase in this offering.

THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT IMPOSES SUBSTANTIAL BURDENS UPON THE COMPANY WITHOUT PROVIDING CORRESPONDING BENEFITS TO THE COMPANY.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") was enacted in response to public concern regarding corporate accountability in the wake of a number of accounting scandals. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility, provide enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosure pursuant to applicable securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

 

Upon becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Since the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has resulted in the imposition of a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase the responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers, the perceived increased personal risk associated with these changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting such roles. Consequently, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as our directors or executive officers, and we may need to incur additional operating costs. This could prevent us from becoming profitable.

 

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING:

 

THE TRADING IN OUR SHARES WILL BE REGULATED BY SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION RULE 15G-9 WHICH ESTABLISHED THE DEFINITION OF A "PENNY STOCK." THE EFFECTIVE RESULT BEING FEWER PURCHASERS QUALIFIED BY THEIR BROKERS TO PURCHASE OUR SHARES, AND THEREFORE A LESS LIQUID MARKET FOR OUR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES.

 

The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker- dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse), or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may make it difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.

 

WE ARE SELLING THIS OFFERING WITHOUT AN UNDERWRITER AND MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL ANY SHARES. UNLESS WE ARE SUCCESSFUL IN SELLING AT LEAST 50% OF THE SHARES AND RECEIVING $100,000 IN THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING, WE MAY HAVE TO SEEK ALTERNATIVE FINANCING TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLANS.

 

This offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell them through our officer and director, who will receive no commissions. He will offer the shares to friends, relatives, acquaintances and business associates, however, there is no guarantee that he will be able to sell any of the shares.

 

 
10

 

DUE TO THE LACK OF A TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES, YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING ANY SHARES YOU PURCHASE IN THIS OFFERING.

 

There is presently no demand for our common stock and no public market exists for the shares being offered in this prospectus. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the effectiveness of this Registration Statement and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board (OTCBB). The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter (OTC) securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. Market Makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. As of the date of this filing, there have been no discussions or understandings between Barrel or anyone acting on our behalf with any market maker regarding participation in a future trading market for our securities. If no market is ever developed for our common stock, it will be difficult for you to sell any shares you purchase in this offering. In such a case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all. In addition, if we fail to have our common stock quoted on a public trading market, your common stock will not have a quantifiable value and it may be difficult, if not impossible, to ever resell your shares, resulting in an inability to realize any value from your investment.

 

YOU WILL INCUR IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES.

 

Our existing stockholders acquired their shares at a cost of $0.001 per share, a cost per share substantially less than that which you will pay for the shares you purchase in this offering. Accordingly, any investment you make in these shares will result in the immediate and substantial dilution of the net tangible book value of those shares from the $0.025 you pay for them. Upon completion of the offering, the net tangible book value of your shares will be $0.0096 per share, $0.0154 less than what you paid for them.

 

WE WILL BE HOLDING ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE OFFERING IN A STANDARD BANK CHECKING ACCOUNT. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT ALL OF THE FUNDS USED AS OUTLINED IN THE USE OF PROCEEDS TABLE WILL BE EFFECTIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BUSINESS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

 

All funds received from the sale of shares in this offering will be deposited into a standard bank checking account. We intend to use the proceeds raised in this offering for the uses set forth in the proceeds table. The failure of funds used to effectively grow our business could result in unfavorable returns or no income at all. This could have a significant adverse effect on our financial condition and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

OUR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS WILL CONTINUE TO EXERCISE SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER OUR OPERATIONS, WHICH MEANS AS A MINORITY SHAREHOLDER, YOU WOULD HAVE NO CONTROL OVER CERTAIN MATTERS REQUIRING STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL THAT COULD AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO EVER RESELL ANY SHARES YOU PURCHASE IN THIS OFFERING.

 

After the completion of this offering, our management will own 55.55% of our common stock. In the event that fewer than the maximum shares of the offering are sold, management’s percentage ownership will be even higher. It will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions, including the election of directors, approval of significant corporate transactions, changes in control of the company or other matters that could affect your ability to ever resell your shares. Its interests may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.

 

 
11

  

FINANCIAL INDUSTRY REGULATORY AUTHORITY ("FINRA") SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH COULD DEPRESS THE PRICE OF OUR SHARES.

 

FINRA rules require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending that investment to the customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status and investment objectives, among other things. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability such speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares, and thereby depress our share price.

 

WE WILL INCUR ONGOING COSTS AND EXPENSES FOR SEC REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE; WITHOUT REVENUE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES, IF AT ALL.

 

Our business plan allows for the estimated cost of this Registration Statement to be paid from our cash on hand. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the effectiveness of this Registration Statement and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. To be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC. Market Makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. In order for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

The offering price of the shares has been determined arbitrarily by us. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, or other established criteria for valuing a privately held company. In determining the number of shares to be offered and the offering price we took into consideration our capital structure and the amount of money we would need to implement our business plans. Accordingly, the offering price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of our securities.

 

DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES

 

Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering.

 

Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.

 

As of September 30, 2014, the net tangible book value of our shares was $(12,757) or approximately $(0.0013) per share, based upon 10,000,000 shares outstanding.

 

 
15

 

Upon completion of this offering, but without taking into account any change in the net tangible book value after completion of this offering other than that resulting from the sale of the shares and receipt of the total proceeds of $200,000 net of the estimated $14,500 offering costs, the net tangible book value of the 18,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $172,743, or approximately $0.0096 per Share. Accordingly, the net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders (10,000,000 shares) will be increased by $0.0109 per share without any additional investment on their part. The purchasers of shares in this offering will incur immediate dilution (a reduction in the net tangible book value per share from the offering price of $0.025 per Share) of $0.0154 per share. As a result, after completion of the offering, the net tangible book value of the shares held by purchasers in this offering would be $0.0096 per share, reflecting an immediate reduction in the $0.025 price per share they paid for their shares.

 

After completion of the offering, the existing shareholders will own 55.55% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they will have made a cash investment of $10,000, or $0.001 per Share. Upon completion of the offering, the purchasers of the shares offered hereby will own 45.45% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they will have made a cash investment of $200,000, or $0.025 per Share.

 

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to the new investors and does not give any effect to the results of any operations subsequent to January 27, 2014. The following table shows the per share dilution assuming that 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, respectively, of the primary Offering by the Company is sold.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Barrel Energy Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 27, 2014. We were formed to engage in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas in North America.

 

Barrel Energy Inc. is an oil and gas company with a focus on assets located in North America. Currently the company holds oil & gas leases in Alberta, Canada and its strategy is to exploit high impact and development oil plays and liquids-rich deep basin gas plays through the development of its asset base. The company currently holds interest in 2560 acres of oil & gas leases known as the Bison Property. Our near term business strategy is to conduct exploration activities on the Bison Property as laid out in more detail in the "Description of Property” section with the end goal being to achieve positive results during our exploration activities, we believe we will be able to either develop the Bison Property to commercial production and achieve positive cash flow.

 

The Bison property is located in the Province of Alberta, Canada and is comprised of four sections of interest land totalling (2,560 acres) which includes one suspended gas well in the Gilwood member of the Middle Devonian Watt Mountain Formation. The acreage is located in north western Alberta in an area called the Peace River Arch (PRA), which is a deep positive structural feature caused by mountain building to the west. It is one of only a few large-scale tectonic elements in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin that has significantly disturbed the Phanerozoic cover of the craton. The structure has influenced the location of oil and gas accumulations in strata ranging from the Middle Devonian to the Upper Cretaceous, and has long been a focus of hydrocarbon exploration in the region. It is known for its prolific oil, NGL and natural gas wells and is one of the most desirable light oil and natural gas liquids drilling areas in North America.

 

 
19

  

The Peace River Arch has already established facilities for natural gas gathering and compression facilities that can be accessed based on Barrel Energy’s needs. Although the Peach River Arch region boasts well established infrastructure weather conditions do play a role in our ability to access the Bison property. For instance the need to helicopter in equipment and or human resources may arise based on location or weather conditions.

 

Geology:

 

The Bison property is located in the Province of Alberta, Canada and is comprised of four sections of interest land (2,560 acres) which includes one suspended gas well in the Gilwood member of the Middle Devonian Watt Mountain Formation. The acreage is located in north western Alberta in an area called the Peace River Arch (PRA), which is a deep positive structural feature caused by mountain building to the west. Sediments shed from the Arch, during deposition were deposited in abundance in braided channels, fluvial stream channels and shallow marine environments, which created numerous hydrocarbon reservoirs in the area. Sediments were thickest adjacent to the emergent Arch with sands in of up to 180 feet in total thickness deposited in the braided channel systems coming off the structural highland. Thicknesses decreased to the east away from the source rock ultimately terminating some 75 miles east from the PRA. The Gilwood member at Bison shows approximately 7 feet of gas pay over water in the Gilwood formation and was perforated between 1468.5m and 1470.5m.

 

Land tenure:

 

The Bison leases were acquired through a private oil & gas company with an effective date of September 1, 2014. A total of 4 oil & gas leases located in Alberta, Canada were acquired totaling 2,520 acres, as follows:

Disclosure of Oil and Gas Operations:

 

Reserves:

 

The Company did not have any proven reserves at September 30, 2014. According to the Report dated September 30, 2014 of Marlin Consulting Group (“Marlin”), there are contingent probable reserves of 7.57 billion cubic feet (BCF) of gas on the acreage on which the existing non-productive well is located, as to which the Company has an 81% working interest. However, a re-work of the existing gas well would be necessary, which could cost $300,000 or more and there is no assurance that a re-work of the well would be successful. Any reserves on the remaining acreage of the leases would be possible reserves, which may not be relied upon for any purpose . Accordingly, you may not reasonably assume that the Company has any reserves on its leases.

 

Production:

 

The Company has had not production from inception (January 27, 2014) through September 30, 2014. Following is a table showing production data from inception (January 27, 2014) through September 30, 2014:

Drilling Activity:

 

The Company acquired these properties in September, 2014. The Company has not yet done any drilling on the leases.

 

Present Activities:

 

There are no present wells being drilled. As of the date of this report, Barrel management is planning its initial exploration activities at the property.

 

Delivery Commitments:

 

The Company does not have any delivery commitments or any short or long term contractual obligations.

 

Marketing:

 

We currently do not conduct any marketing activities. We do not believe that any marketing activities will be necessary to conduct operations following on any of the properties described above. Lone Pine is currently the operation of the Bison property and will be responsible for the marketing. Should we take on the operatorship of the property then on the responsibilities would be the marketing of the oil & gas products. At this time, we have no plans for becoming an operator.

 

STATUS OF ANY PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED NEW PRODUCTS

 

We have not publicly announced any new products.

 

COMPETITION

 

Given the highly competitive nature of the oil & gas sector and our company being a new exploration stage company we face competition from numerous competitors within in the industry. We compete with junior and senior oil and gas companies, independent producers and institutional and individual investors who are actively seeking to acquire oil and gas properties throughout North America. Competition for the acquisition of oil and gas interests is strong with many oil and gas leases available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack the financial and technological information or expertise to compete with all competitors.

 

 
22

  

Our competitor oil and gas companies with which we compete for financing and for the acquisition of oil and gas properties have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. These competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquiring oil and gas interests of merit or on exploring or developing their oil and gas properties. This advantage could enable our competitors to acquire oil and gas properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may choose to finance their additional exploration and development. The potential for this competition could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to acquire further oil and gas interests or explore and develop our current or future oil and gas properties.

 

In addition we compete with other junior oil and gas companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to invest in companies such as ours, and this may limit our ability to raise future capital. In addition, we compete with both junior and senior.

 

oil and gas companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, land specialists, engineers, helicopters, float planes, oil and gas exploration supplies and drill rigs.

 

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS; DEPENDENCE ON ONE OR A FEW MAJOR SUPPLIERS

 

There are numerous providers of geological and exploration services in Alberta, such as seismic and drilling. We will not be dependent on one or a few suppliers.

 

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

 

We do not have any proprietary products. We currently have no patents or trademarks for our company name or brand name

 

NEED FOR ANY GOVERNMENT APPROVAL OF PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS

 

Not applicable.

 

GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY REGULATION

 

We will be subject to applicable laws and regulations that relate directly or indirectly to our operations including United States securities laws. We will also be subject to regulation by the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER). We will be required to apply to the AER to obtain drilling permits for wells on our Bison leases.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

 

Other than time spent researching our proposed business we have not spent any funds on research and development activities to date. We do not currently plan to spend any funds on research and development activities in the future.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS

 

The oil and natural gas industry is subject to provincial and federal environmental regulations. Such legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on the release or emission of various substances produced in association with certain oil and natural gas operations. In addition, such legislation requires that well and facility sites are abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of provincial authorities. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and breach of such requirements may result in the suspension or revocation of necessary licenses and authorizations, civil liability for pollution damage, and the imposition of material fines and penalties.

 

 
23

  

Our operations are subject to numerous laws relating to environmental protection. These laws impose substantial penalties for any pollution resulting from our operations. We believe that our operations substantially comply with applicable environmental laws. The main governing body, Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) ensures the safe, efficient, orderly, and environmentally responsible development of hydrocarbon resources over their entire life cycle. This includes allocating and conserving water resources, managing public lands, and protecting the environment while providing economic benefits for all Albertans. In 2013 the AER became a new organization and began taking on regulatory functions related to energy development that were previously held by Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (ESRD). The and the AER is the single regulator of energy development in Alberta—from application and exploration, construction and development, to abandonment, reclamation, and remediation.

 

EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

 

We currently have two employees, of which Gurminder Sangha acts as our Chief Executive Officer and Jurgen Wolf acts as Chief Financial Officer. We do not have any employment agreements.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status under the JOBS Act

 

Barrel Energy Inc. qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act creates a new category of issuers known as "emerging growth companies." Emerging growth companies are those with annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion (as indexed for inflation) during their most recently completed fiscal year. The JOBS Act is intended to facilitate public offerings by emerging growth companies by exempting them from several provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and its regulations. An emerging growth company will retain that status until the earliest of:

 

II

The first fiscal year after its annual revenues exceed $1 billion;

 

 
II

The first fiscal year after the fifth anniversary of its IPO;

 

 
II

The date on which the company has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the previous three-year period; and

 

 
II

The first fiscal year in which the company has a public float of at least $700 million.

  

Financial and Audit Requirements

 

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies are subject to scaled financial disclosure requirements. Pursuant to these scaled requirements, emerging growth companies may:

 

II

Provide only two rather than three years of audited financial statements in their IPO Registration Statement;

   
II

Provide selected financial data only for periods no earlier than those included in the IPO Registration Statement in all SEC filings, rather than the five years of selected financial data normally required;

   
II

Delay compliance with new or revised accounting standards until they are made applicable to private companies; and

 

II

Be exempted from compliance with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires companies to receive anoutside auditor's attestation regarding the issuer's internal controls.

  

 
24

  

Offering Requirements

 

In addition, during the IPO offering process, emerging growth companies are exempt from:

 

II

Restrictions on analyst research prior to and immediately after the IPO, even from an investment bank that is underwriting the IPO;

 

 
II

Certain restrictions on communications to institutional investors before filing the IPO registration statement; and

 

 
II

The requirement initially to publicly file IPO Registration Statements. Emerging growth companies can confidentially file draft Registration Statements and any amendments with the SEC. Public filings of the draft documents must be made at least 21 days prior to commencement of the IPO "road show."

  

Other Public Company Requirements

 

Emerging growth companies are also exempt from other ongoing obligations of most public companies, such as:

 

II

The requirements under Section 14(i) of the Exchange Act and Section 953(b)(1) of the Dodd-Frank Act to disclose executive compensation information on pay-for-performance and the ratio of CEO to median employee compensation;

 

 
II

Certain other executive compensation disclosure requirements, such as the compensation discussion and analysis, under Item 402 of Regulation S-K; and

 

 
II

The requirements under Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Exchange Act to hold advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute payments.

  

Election under Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act

 

As an emerging growth company we have made the irrevocable election to not adopt the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 107(b), as added by Section 102(b), of the JOBS Act. This election allows companies to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.

 

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

Our operations are currently being conducted out of the premises at 14890 66a Ave., Surrey, B.C. V3S 9Y6 Canada. Mr. Sangha makes these premises available to us rent-free. We consider our current principal office space arrangement adequate and will reassess our needs based upon the future growth of the company.

 

 
25

  

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are not involved in any pending legal proceeding nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us.

 

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

No public market currently exists for shares of our common stock. Following completion of this offering, we intend to apply to have our common stock listed for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.

 

PENNY STOCK RULES

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).

 

A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.

 

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document, which:

 

·

contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stock in both public offerings and secondary trading;

   

·

contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;

   

·

contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" price for the penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

   

·

contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation;

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer

 

·

the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

 

 

·

the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

 

 

·

the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

 

 

·

monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.

The assets of the Company consist of $1,770 in cash and oil lease of $53,772. The Company does not have any revenue from inception to September 30, 2014. General and administrative costs were $20,208. Other income and expense totaled $1,538 consisting of interest of $1,105, currency loss of $828 and a foreign currency translation adjustment of $395. Comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2014 was $21,746.

 

Other than the shares offered by this prospectus, no other source of capital has been has been identified or sought. If we experience a shortfall in operating capital prior to funding from the proceeds of this offering, our director has verbally agreed to advance the company funds to complete the registration process.

 

PLAN OF OPERATION

 

We intend to raise $200,000 through the sale of our common stock in order to implement our business plan for the upcoming 12 months. Our initial exploration plan calls for $25,500. If the initial exploration is successful, we plan to undertake a second phase of exploration. We anticipate that the second phase of exploration will cost approximately $175,500 and we will need to raise additional capital in order to carry out this activity. There can be no assurance that the initial stage of exploration activity will provide positive results or that we will be able to raise the capital required to undertake the planned second stage. Since the inception of Barrel Energy Inc., we have been involved primarily in organizational and acquisition activities. We have raised some initial capital, primarily used to acquire the Bison Property. We anticipate undertaking exploration activity on Bison by spring of 2015.

 

Our short term business strategy is to conduct exploration activities on the Bison Property laid out in more detail below in addition to raise sufficient capital to carry out these activities. If achieve positive results during our exploration activities, we believe we will be able to either develop the Bison Property to the point of commercial production.

 

Barrel Energy’s long term strategy calls for the acquisition of additional property rights throughout North America and the undertaking of exploration activities on those properties. Both our short term and long term strategies are dependent on the ability to raise further capital and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such capital.

LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS

 

At September 30, 2014 we had $1,770 of cash. Our cash needs have so far been met by proceeds from sale of common stock to our officers and directors, as well as loans from Mr. Sangha, who has no obligation to continue funding our operations. We plan to meet our cash needs during the 12 month start-up process from proceeds of the Offering and, if necessary, through a private placement of debt or equity securities by a FINRA-registered broker / dealer. As of this date, we have had no discussions concerning a private placement, nor do we have an agreement with any broker / dealer.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

In our audited financial statements as of September 30, 2014 we were issued an opinion by our auditors that raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern based on our current financial position.

FUTURE SALES BY EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS

 

A total of 10,000,000 shares have been issued to the existing stockholders, all of which are restricted securities, as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Act,. Under Rule 144, restricted shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and certain restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition. Any sale of shares held by the existing stockholder (after applicable restrictions expire) and/or the sale of shares purchased in this offering (which would be immediately resalable after the offering), may have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock in any market that may develop, of which there can be no assurance. Our shareholders will not be permitted to use Rule 144 if we are deemed to be a shell company. It is our view that we are not a shell company but, instead, a start-up company as we have a definite business plan and substantial assets in the form of our Bison oil and gas leases and associated personal property.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

In February, 2014 the Company issued a total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Gurminder Sangha for cash at $0.001 per share for a total of $10,000.

 

Mr. Sangha has loaned us funds for operations. The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. The balance due to the Mr. Sangha was $68,299 as of September 30, 2014. He is under no obligation to continue lending us money.

 

Mr. Sangha provides our office facilities at zero ($-0-) rent per month.

 

We do not currently have any conflicts of interest by or among our current officer, director, key employee or advisors. We have not yet formulated a policy for handling conflicts of interest; however, we intend to do so upon completion of this offering and, in any event, prior to hiring any additional employees.

 

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors of 

Barrel Energy, Inc. 

Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Barrel Energy Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2014, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the period from January 27, 2014 (inception) through September 30, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Barrel Energy Inc. as of September 30, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 27, 2014 (inception) through September 30, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Barrel Energy, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BARREL ENERGY INC  

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Barrel Energy Inc (Barrel) was incorporated on January 27, 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company was formed to invest in producing oil and gas properties. On September 26, 2014 the Company leased an unproven oil and gas property in the province of Alberta, Canada.

 

NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Accounting Method

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on September 30.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Oil and Gas Policy

 

The Company is in the process of exploring its unproved oil and natural gas properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for oil and natural gas properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying oil and gas leases, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete their exploration and development and future profitable production or sufficient proceeds from the disposition thereof. The Company is, therefore, unable to estimate when these costs will be included in the amortization computation.

 

Unproven oil and natural gas properties are reviewed on an annual basis for impairment.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs associated with repair and maintenance is expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency of our property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the related asset. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

 
F-6

  

Foreign currency translation

 

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is in U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “ Foreign Currency Translation” . Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical-cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is estimated based upon either discounted cash flow analysis or estimated salvage value.

 

Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include the fair value of common stock issued for services. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board) Accounting Standards Codification 740, Accounting for Income Taxes . It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result, the Company has applied a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. The guidance only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the various taxing authorities.

 

 
F-7

  

The Company classifies penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share calculations includes the dilutive effect of common stock. Basic and diluted net loss per share is the same due to the absence of common stock equivalents.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Because the Company has been recently reorganized and has not yet transacted any business, the new accounting standards have no significant impact on the financial statements and related disclosures. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company, as shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, has no assets and an accumulated deficit of $22,141 as of September 30, 2014. The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. These factors raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will engage in very limited activities that must be satisfied in cash until a source of funding is secured. The Company will offer noncash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.

 

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES

 

At September 30, 2014, the Company had a federal net operating loss carry forward of approximately $22,141, which expires in varying amounts in 2034.

 

Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at March 31:

F-8

 

In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of September 30, 2014.

 

NOTE 5 – COMMON STOCK

 

On January 27, 2014 the Company issued 10,000,000 founders shares to an officer of the Company for $8,989 (CAD $10,000) in cash.

 

NOTE 6 – OIL AND GAS LEASE

 

On September 26, 2014 the Company purchased a producing oil property lease for USD $53,772 (CAD $60,000) in the province of Alberta, Canada. The lease consists of land and rights leases T95 R15 W5M 11,13,14,15 for well Invasion Elm Bison 10-15-95-15W5M. The working interest is 51% of net production. As of September 30, 2014 the property had not recorded any production and its reserves were unproven.

 

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE

 

On July 1, 2014 the Company issued a USD $67,215 (CAD $75,000) convertible note for cash. The note bears an interest rate of 9.5% and matures on December 31, 2015. The note, plus accrued interest, is convertible by the holder, in part or whole, until the date of maturity into common stock of the Company at CAD one cent ($0.01) per share.

 

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On October 30, 2014 the Company issued a $17,500 convertible note for cash. The note bears an interest rate of 9.5% and matures on December 31, 2015. The note, plus accrued interest, is convertible by the holder, in part or whole, until the date of maturity into common stock of the Company at CAD one cent ($0.01) per share.

ITEM 14. INDENINIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his or her position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify his against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

As to indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for directors, officers or controlling persons, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

a. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

i. To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in Volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

 

iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3.  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

4.  That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

 i. If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (230.430B of this chapter):

 

A. Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

B. Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or 

 

ii. If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

 
40

 

5.  That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

i. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

ii Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

iii. Any portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to our director, officer and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer 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 small business issuer 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 1933 Act, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

4. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the By-Laws of the company, or otherwise, we have 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 of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action,suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or other control person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

An Indemnitee shall qualify for the payment of Expenses solely upon the execution and delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation providing that such Indemnitee undertakes to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Payments shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of payment. Any determination made by the Independent Counsel that an Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and such Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Corporation for any Expense Payment until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). An Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Corporation for Expense Payments shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.

 

10.2.4 Mandatory Indemnification.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been successful (on the merits or otherwise) in defense of any Proceeding relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith. For purposes of this Section 10.2.4 and without limiting the foregoing, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in any such Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

 

10.2.5 Partial Indemnification.

 

If any Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Article X to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of any Expenses, liability or loss, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, any interest, assessments, or other charges imposed thereon, or any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes imposed as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Article X, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify such Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which such Indemnitee is entitled.

 

Section 10.3 Authorization of Indemnification; Independent Counsel.

 

The person, persons or entity (the “Independent Counsel”) who shall determine whether indemnification is permissible under applicable law shall be an attorney admitted to practice in the State of Nevada, selected by the Indemnitee seeking indemnification and approved and appointed by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of the Disinterested Directors. If no Disinterested Directors exist, then the Board shall select a person, persons or entity otherwise capable of acting as Independent Counsel to appoint the Independent Counsel. The Independent Counsel shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or the applicable Indemnitee against the other in an action to determine such Indemnitee’s rights under this Article X or under any agreement between such Indemnitee and the Corporation. Such counsel, among other things, shall render a written determination to the Corporation and such Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent such Indemnitee is permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. The Corporation agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel and any party selected to appoint Independent Counsel and to indemnify fully such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities, loss, and damages arising out of or relating to this Article X or their engagement hereunder.

 

Section 10.4 Indemnification Process and Appeal.

 

10.4.1 An Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification and shall receive payment thereof from the Corporation in accordance with this Article X as soon as practicable but in any event no later than 30 calendar days after such Indemnitee has made written demand on the Corporation for indemnification (which written demand shall include such documentation and information as is reasonably available to such Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification), unless the Independent Counsel has provided a written determination to the Corporation and such Indemnitee that indemnification is not permissible under applicable law.

 

 
21

 

10.4.2 If (a) no determination as to whether indemnification is permissible under applicable law has been made within 30 calendar days after an Indemnitee has made a demand in accordance with Section 10.4.1, (b) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 10.4.1 is not made within 30 calendar days after a determination that indemnification is permissible under applicable law, (c) Independent Counsel determines pursuant to Section 10.4.1 that indemnification is not permissible under applicable law, or (d) an Indemnitee has not received payment of Expenses within 15 business days after making such a request in accordance with Section 10.2.3, then the applicable Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce its rights under this Article X by commencing litigation in any court of competent jurisdiction seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any determination by the Independent Counsel or any aspect thereof. Any determination by the Independent Counsel not challenged by the applicable Indemnitee on or before the first anniversary of the date of the Independent Counsel’s determination shall be binding on the Corporation and such Indemnitee. The remedy provided for in this Section 10.4 is non-exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies available to each Indemnitee in law or equity.

 

10.4.3 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law in making a determination with respect to whether indemnification is permissible, the Independent Counsel shall presume that indemnification is permissible if the applicable Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 10.4.1, and the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by the Independent Counsel of any determination contrary to that presumption.

 

10.4.4 It shall be a defense to any action brought by any Indemnitee against the Corporation to enforce this Article X (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Expense Payment incurred in connection with a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation) that it is not permissible under applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify such Indemnitee for the amount claimed.

 

10.4.5 In connection with any action brought pursuant to Section 10.4.2 as to whether an Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the Corporation must prove with clear and convincing evidence that such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Article X. Neither the failure of the Independent Counsel to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action by such Indemnitee that indemnification is permissible under applicable law, nor on actual determination by the Independent Counsel that indemnification is not permissible under applicable law shall be admissible as evidence in any such action for any purpose. For purposes of this Article X, the termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that such Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.

 

10.4.6 For the purposes of any determination by the Independent Counsel under this Article X, an Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, if such Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such Indemnitee by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 10.4.6 shall mean any of the Corporation’s Affiliates or subsidiaries or any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which the applicable Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 10.4.6 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which any Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth under Nevada law.

 

Section 10.5 Indemnification for Expenses Incurred in Enforcing Rights.

 

The Corporation shall indemnify any Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by an Indemnitee, shall pay such Expenses to such Indemnitee in advance of final disposition on such terms and conditions as the Board deems appropriate, that are incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any claim asserted against or action brought by such Indemnitee for (a) enforcement of this Article X, (b) indemnification of Expenses or Expense Payments by the Corporation under any agreement or under applicable law or under any provision of these Bylaws or the Articles now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification for Indemnifiable Events, and/or (c) recovery under directors’ or officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Corporation.

Section 10.6 Notification and Defense of Proceeding.

 

10.6.1 Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding relating to an Indemnifiable Event, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Corporation under this Article X, notify the Corporation of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Corporation shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to such Indemnitee.

 

10.6.2 With respect to any Proceeding relating to an Indemnifiable Event as to which an Indemnitee notifies the Corporation of the commencement thereof, the Corporation shall be entitled to participate in such Proceeding at its own expense and except as otherwise provided below, and, to the extent the Corporation so wishes, it may assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee. After notice from the Corporation to the applicable Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of any Proceeding relating to an Indemnifiable Event, the Corporation shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Article X or otherwise for any Expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Proceeding other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. The applicable Indemnitee shall have the right to employ such Indemnitee’s own counsel in such Proceeding but all Expenses related thereto incurred after notice from the Corporation of its election to assume the defense shall be at such Indemnitee’s expense unless: (a) the employment of counsel by such Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (b) such Indemnitee has reasonably determined that there may be a conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and the Corporation in the defense of the Proceeding, (c) Independent Counsel has determined that a Change in Control has occurred, or (d) the Corporation shall not within 30 calendar days in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which case all Expenses of the Proceeding shall be borne by the Corporation. If the Corporation has selected counsel to represent the applicable Indemnitee and other current and former directors and officers of the Corporation and its Affiliates and subsidiaries in the defense of a Proceeding, and a majority of such persons, including such Indemnitee, reasonably object to such counsel selected by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 10.6.2, then such persons, including such Indemnitee, shall be permitted to employ one additional counsel of their choice and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Corporation; provided , however , that such counsel shall be chosen from amongst the list of counsel, if any, approved by any company with which the Corporation obtains or maintains insurance. In the event separate counsel is retained by an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 10.6.2, the Corporation shall cooperate with such Indemnitee with respect to the defense of the Proceeding, including making documents, witnesses and other reasonable information related to the defense available to such Indemnitee and such separate counsel pursuant to joint-defense agreements or confidentiality agreements, as appropriate. The Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Corporation or as to which the determination shall have been made by the applicable Indemnitee pursuant to clause (b) above or by Independent Counsel pursuant to clause (c) above.

 

10.6.3 The Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify an Indemnitee under this Article X or otherwise for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Corporation’s written consent, provided, however , that if a Change in Control has occurred, the Corporation shall be liable for indemnification of an Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if the Independent Counsel has approved the settlement. The Corporation shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on any Indemnitee without such Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Corporation nor any Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement. The Corporation’s liability hereunder shall not be excused if participation in the Proceeding by the Corporation was barred by this Article X.

 

Section 10.7 Non-Exclusivity.

 

The rights of each Indemnitee hereunder are non-exclusive and shall be in addition to any other rights such Indemnitee may have under applicable law, the Articles, under any agreement or otherwise. To the extent that a change in applicable law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under the Articles, these Bylaws or applicable law, it is the intent of the parties that each Indemnitee enjoy by this Article X the greater benefits so afforded by such change.

 

 
23

 

Section 10.8 Liability Insurance.

 

The Corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any Indemnitee for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and Expenses incurred by him or her in his or her capacity, whether or not the Corporation has the authority to indemnify the Indemnitee against such liability and expenses. The other financial arrangements described in the preceding sentence made by the Corporation may include the creation of a trust fund, the establishment of a program of self insurance, securing the Corporation’s obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the Corporation or the establishment of a letter of credit, guaranty or surety. No financial arrangement made pursuant to this Article X may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to the advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court. The fact that the Corporation purchases such insurance or maintains such other financial arrangements shall not limit the scope of indemnity granted to an Indemnitee by this Article X. In the absence of fraud, the decision by the Board as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this Section 10.8 and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive and the insurance or other financial arrangement is not void or voidable and does not subject any director approving it to personal liability for his or her action, even if the director approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement.

 

Section 10.9 Subrogation.

 

In the event of payment under this Article X, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the applicable Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

Section 10.10 No Duplication of Payments.

 

The Corporation shall not be liable under this Article X to make any payment in connection with any claim made against any Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, agreement or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

 

Section 10.11 Contractual Rights.

 

The right of each Indemnitee to be indemnified or to the advancement or reimbursement of Expenses (a) is a contract right based upon good and valuable consideration, pursuant to which such Indemnitee may sue as if these provisions were set forth in a separate written contract between him or her and the Corporation, and (b) shall continue after any rescission or restrictive modification of such provisions as to events occurring prior thereto. Neither the amendment or repeal of, nor the adoption of a provision inconsistent with, any provision of this Article X (including, without limitation, this Section 10.11), nor the adoption of any provision of the Articles, nor to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, any modification of law, shall adversely affect the rights of any person who is or was an Indemnitee under this Article X with respect to any Proceeding arising out of any action or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision, without the written consent of such person.

 

Section 10.12 Indemnification Agreements.

 

In addition to the provisions of this Article X, the Corporation may enter into agreements with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates or subsidiaries providing for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.

 

 
24

 

Section 10.13 Applicability to Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as Amended.

 

The rights provided by this Article X shall be applicable to any present or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation appointed from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or his designee to serve in the administration and management of any separate, segregated fund established for purposes of collecting and distributing voluntary employee political contributions to federal election campaigns pursuant to the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended, provided that any such present or former director, officer, employee or agent has served as such capacity on or after the Effective Date, and any such present or former director, officer, employee or agent shall be deemed to be an Indemnitee under this Article X.

 

Section 10.14 Severability.

 

If any provision (or portion thereof) of this Article X shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the remaining provisions of this Article X shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, void, or unenforceable.

 

Section 10.15 Subsidiaries.

 

On vote of the Board, the Corporation may assent to the adoption of this Article X by any subsidiary, whether or not wholly owned.

 

ARTICLE XI  

CORPORATE SEAL

 

The corporate seal shall be circular in form and shall have inscribed thereon the name of the Corporation, the date of its incorporation and the word “Nevada”.

 

ARTICLE XII  

INTERPRETATION

 

Reference in these Bylaws to any provision of Nevada law or the Nevada Revised Statutes shall be deemed to include all amendments thereto and the effect of the construction and determination of validity thereof by the Nevada Supreme Court.

Attn: Gurminder Sangha

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

As counsel for the Company, I have examined the Company's articles of incorporation, by-laws, and such other corporate records, documents and proceedings and such questions of law I have deemed relevant for the purpose of this opinion.

 

I have also, as counsel for the Company, examined the Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") of the Company on Form S-1, covering the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of 8,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.001 par value, of the Company (the "Common Stock").

 

My review has also included the form of prospectus for the issuance of such securities (the "Prospectus") filed with the Registration Statement.

 

On the basis of such examination, I am of the opinion that:

 

1. The Company is a corporation duly authorized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, with corporate power to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement.

 

2. The Company has an authorized capitalization of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value.

 

3. The shares of Common Stock currently issued and outstanding are duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, pursuant to the corporation law of the State of Nevada.

 

4. The shares of Common Stock offered in the Registration Statement, when issued, shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, pursuant to the corporate law of the State of Nevada.

 

This opinion includes my opinion on Nevada law including the Nevada Constitution, all applicable provisions of Nevada statutes, and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws.

 

This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. I hereby consent to the use of my opinion as herein set forth as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the inclusion of this opinion in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not hereby admit that I come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933 or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder or Item 509 of Regulation S-K.

 

Very truly yours,

ARTICLE III
CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

3.1. CONVERSION INTO THE BORROWER'S COMMON STOCK.

 

(a) The Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, during the period from the date hereof until the close of business on December 31st, 2016, to convert all or any portion of the principal portion of this Note and/or interest due and payable into fully paid, non-assessable shares of common stock of the Borrower as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock of the Borrower into which such stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified (the "COMMON STOCK") at the conversion price set forth below (the "CONVERSION PRICE").

 

Upon delivery to the Borrower of Holder's written request for conversion (the date of giving such notice of conversion being a "CONVERSION DATE"), the Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within two business days from the Conversion Date that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal of the Note to be converted and interest, if any, by the Fixed Conversion Price of 0.01 cent share if the conversion takes place within twelve months of issuance. In the event of any conversions of outstanding principal amount under this Note in part pursuant to this Article III, such conversions shall be deemed to constitute conversions of outstanding principal amount applying to the Principal Amount for the Maturity Date in chronological order. In addition the conversion takes place within twelve months of the issuance date a.bonus will be issued of FIFTY PERCENT of the conversion amount payable in common shares.

(b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.l(c)below, the Conversion Price.

 

(c) The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion, determined pursuant to Section 3.l(a} and 3.l(b}, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

 

(i) Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other corporation (excepting the transaction in process whereby the Borrower will down stream certain operating assets to its consolidated and wholly owned subsidiary) , this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock the Holder could have acquired immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance based on the Fixed Conversion Price or the Conversion Price, as the case may be, as of the closing date thereof. It is agreed that the discount on conversion will be 30% off the bid price of common shares traded on the OTC BB. It is also agreed that the minimum price shall be fourteen cents($0.14)per share. The foregoing provision shall apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.

 

(ii) Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Note would have been convertible immediately prior to such reclassification or other change at the Fixed Conversion Price or the Conversion Price, as the case may be, as of the effective date for such reclassification or change.

 

(iii) Stock Splits and Combinations. If the shares of Borrower's Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Holder of this Note shall not be prejudiced thereby.

(d) During the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note, and shall issue all such conversion shares to the order of an escrow holder designated by Holder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for escrowed shares of Common Stock that shall be due to Holder upon any conversion of all or any portion of this Note.

 

3.2 METHOD OF CONVERSION. This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part as described in Section 3.l(a)hereof. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.

 

3.3 FURTHER STOCK ISSUANCES. Borrower covenants and agrees that, for so long as any amounts remain due hereunder, it shall not, without Holder's prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), make any material change in its authorized or issued shares of any class, declare or pay any dividend or other distribution, or issue, encumber, purchase or otherwise acquire any of its shares of any class.

Introduction

 

At your request, Marlin Consulting Corp. has estimated the reserves as of October 1, 2014 attributable to interests owned by Barrel Energy., in certain gas properties located in the Province of Alberta, Canada.

 

Engineering

 

The basis for estimating the reserves attributable to the Bison Alberta gas property, was an extrapolation of historical production in the area of the leases. Analogy to similar producing Gilwood member wells was used for forecasting where sufficient production data were present for decline analysis. Production histories were obtained from third party industry providers and supplemented with data provided by Barrel Energy Inc. Reserves for the property were categorized as contingent reserves as a result of the limited production history of the drilled well associated with the property and the lack of meaningful analogous production histories with which to compare.

 

The available geologic and engineering data were furnished by Barrel Energy Inc. for Marlin’s review. The gas volumes included in this report are expressed in millions of cubic feet (MMCF) or thousands of cubic feet (MCF) at standard temperature and pressure as may be appropriate.

 

Economic Considerations

 

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pricing guidelines were used to set the base gas prices used in this report. A base gas price of $4.43 per million British Thermal Unit (MMBtu) was used herein, which was the Department of Energy (DOE) gas price long term forecast average as of September 1, 2014. Adjustments were made for regional price differentials and gas Btu heating value content at the individual property level. Gas prices were held constant over the economic life of the property as specified by the SEC.

 

 
3

 

Lease operating expenses were estimated from analogue properties as provided by Barrel Energy Inc. and through industry review by MCC. Capital expenditures were included as required for work-overs, future well development and production equipment. All costs have been held constant in this evaluation.

 

The estimated future net revenues shown are those that would be realized from the sale of the estimated gas reserves after deductions of severance taxes, ad valorem taxes, and direct operating expenses. No deductions have been made for Federal income taxes or other indirect costs such as interest expense or loan repayments.

 

General Considerations

 

 

1.

Reserve estimates presented in this report have been calculated using deterministic procedures. The reserves shown in this report are those estimated under the guidelines od the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The definition of all oil and gas reserves and reserve classes used in this report are in accordance with the SEC regulations S-X as set forth in this report.

 

 

 
 

2.

The estimated future net revenues shown in the cash projections is that revenue which may be realized from the sale of estimated net reserves. Surface and well equipment salvage values have not been considered in the revenue projections. Future net revenue as stated in this report is before the deduction of Federal and/or State income tax.

 

 

 
 

3.

The discounted future net revenue is not represented to be the fair market value of those reserves. The estimated reserves included in the cash projections have not been adjusted for risk.

 

 

 
 

4.

The reserves included in this study are estimates only and should not be construed as exact quantities. Future conditions may affect the recovery of estimated reserves and revenue, and all categories of reserves may be subject to revision as more performance data become available.

 

 

 
 

5.

Extent and character of ownership, oil and gas prices, production data, direct operating costs, required capital expenditures, and other data furnished have been accepted as represented. No independent well tests, property inspections, or audits of operating expenses were conducted by our staff in conjunction with this study.

 

 

 
 

6.

No investments or business decisions are to be made in reliance on these estimates by anyone other than our client. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such a person, with the approval of our client, wishes to make investment or business decisions made in reliance on these estimates, they do so solely at their own risk and hold harmless MEC from any responsibility regarding those decisions.

 

 

 
 

7.

Gas contract differences, including take or pay claims are not considered in this report.

 

 

 
 

8.

Gas sales imbalances have not been taken into account in the reserve estimates.

 

 

 
 

9.

Unless otherwise stated in the text, existing or potential liabilities stemming from environmental conditions caused by current r past operating practices have not been considered in this report. No costs are included in the projections if future net revenue or in our economic analyses t restore, repair or improve the environmental conditions of the properties studied to meet existing future Local, State or Federal regulations.

 

Special Note: Any distribution of this report in whole or in part must include the preceding general considerations and cover letter in their entirety.

Definition of Reserve Category

 

Taken from the Oil and Gas Handbook, by the Society of Petroleum Engineers.

 

Crude Oil: A mixture, consisting mainly of pentanes and heavier hydrocarbons that exists in the liquid phase in reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure and temperature. Crude oil may contain sulphur and other non-hydrocarbon compounds, but does not include liquids obtained from the processing of natural gas. Classes of crude oil are often reported on the basis of density, sometimes with different meanings. Acceptable ranges are as follows:

 

·

Light:

Less than 870 kg/m 3 (greater than 31.1 API)

   

·

Medium:

870 to 920 kg/m 3 (31.1 API to 22.3 API)

   

·

Heavy:

920 to 1000 kg/m 3 (22.3 API to 10 API)

   

·

Ultra Heavy:

greater than 1000 kg/m 3 (less than 10 API

 

Heavy or Ultra-Heavy crude oils as defined by the density ranges given, but with viscosities greater than 10,000 mPa . s measured at original temperature in the reservoir and atmospheric pressure, on a gas free basis, would generally be classified as crude bitumen.

 

Natural Gas: A mixture of lighter hydrocarbons that exist either in the gaseous phase or in solution in crude oil reservoirs but are gaseous at atmospheric conditions. Natural gas may contain sulphur or other non-hydrocarbon compounds.

 

Natural Gas Liquids: Those hydrocarbon components that can be recovered from natural gas as liquids including, but not limited to; ethane, propane, butanes, pentanes plus, condensate and small quantities of non-hydrocarbons.

 

Reserve Categories

 

Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, from a given date forward, based upon:

 

·

Analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data;

   

·

The use of established technologies; and

   

·

Specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable and shall be disclosed.

 

 
5

 

Reserves are classified to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates.

 

1.

Proved Reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.

 

 

2.

Probable Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.

 

 

3.

Possible Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

 

Development and Production Status

 

Each of the reserve categories (proved, probable and possible) may be divided into developed and un-developed categories.

 

1.

Developed Reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells and installed facilities, or if facilities have not been installed, that would involve a low expenditure (e.g. when compared with the cost of drilling a well), to put the reserves on production. The developed category may be further subdivided into producing and non-producing.

 

 

a.

Developed Producing Reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from completed intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing or if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty.

 

 

 
 

b.

Developed Non-producing Reserves are those reserves that either have not been on production or have previously been on production, but are shut-in and the date of resumption of production is unknown.

 

2.

Un-developed Reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (e.g. when compared with the cost of drilling a well), is required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves classification (proved, Probable or possible) to which they are assigned.

 

In multi-well pools, it may be appropriate to allocate total pool reserves between the developed and un-developed categories or to subdivide the developed reserves for the pool between developed producing and developed non-producing. This allocation should be based in the estimator’s assessment as to the reserves that will be recovered from specific wells, facilities and completion intervals in the pool and their respective development and production status.

 

 
6

 

Levels of Certainty for Reported Reserves

 

The qualitative certainty levels contained in these definitions are applicable to individual Reserve Entities which refers to the lowest level at which reserves calculations are performed and to Reported Reserves, which refers to the highest level sum of individual entity estimates for which reserves estimates are presented. Reported Reserves should target the following levels of certainty under a specific set of economic conditions:

 

·

At least 90 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimated proved reserves;

 

 

·

At least 50 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimated proved plus probable reserves; and

 

 

·

At least 10 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimated proved plus probable plus possible reserves

 

A quantitative measure of the certainty levels pertaining to the estimates prepared for the various reserves categories is desirable to provide clearer understanding of the associated risks ad uncertainties. However, the majority of reserve estimates will be prepared using deterministic methods that do not provide a mathematically derived quantitative measure of probability. In principle, there should be no difference between estimates prepared using probabilistic or deterministic methods.

Bison Property – Alberta

 

The Bison property is located in the Province of Alberta, Canada and is comprised of four sections of interest land (2,560 acres) which includes one suspended gas well in the Gilwood member of the Middle Devonian Watt Mountain Formation.

The acreage is located in north western Alberta in an area called the Peace River Arch (PRA), which is a deep positive structural feature caused by mountain building to the west. Sediments shed from the Arch, during deposition were deposited in abundance in braided channels, fluvial stream channels and shallow marine environments, which created numerous hydrocarbon reservoirs in the area.

 

Sediments were thickest adjacent to the emergent Arch with sands in of up to 180 feet in total thickness deposited in the braided channel systems coming off the structural highland. Thicknesses decreased to the east away from the source rock ultimately terminating some 75 miles east from the PRA. The Gilwood member at Bison shows approximately 7 feet of gas pay over water in the Gilwood formation and was perforated between 1468.5m and 1470.5m (4818-4825 feet) in 2004. The zone was not stimulated during completion. Initial production rates during the 54 hour flow test post perf was an average of 2.1 MMCF/d. with an additional 25 Barrels of condensate produced during the test period.

 

During the cementation of the production casing a lost circulation zone was encountered causing a loss of cement returns during the procedure. Cement bond logging indicated no cementation above the lost circulation zone with free pipe from 3773 feet to surface. A remedial cement job was attempted in March 2004 above the Gilwood perfs using a retrievable plug set at 3937 feet with little success. Ultimately, it was determined that fluid was lost to the Gilwood during the remedial operation which had the effect of damaging the Gilwood reservoir.

 

In February of 2005 the wells was producing gas at a rate of approximately 250 MCF/d with minimal water. In 2009, Rock Energy, the owner of the leases commenced a 4 hour flow test confirming a production rate of 272 MCF/d. Significant fluid was encountered in the hole during the test indicating water infiltration. The likely source for the water was the remedial cementation attempts over the lost circulation zone and communication with the Gilwood through channeling in the cement behind the casing. Restricted pressure is also thought to have been the result of damage caused by infiltration into the Gilwood reservoir.

 

Economic Evaluation

 

Barrel Energy Inc. purchased the Bison property effective September 1, 2014. The project consists of four sections of working interest land totaling 2,560 acres (gross), with an average working interest of 51%. The leases are subject to Provincial Crown Royalty. The Bison property has a higher working interest on the single section of land associated with the tested Gilwood gas well. That interest is 81%. There is no current production from any of the four sections on the Bison project.

Volumetric Reserves

 

Assignment of reserves associated with the Gilwood member gas, was done on the basis of a section of drainage associated with the 10-15-95-15W5M shut-in Gilwood gas well. These reserves are classified as probable reserves as the likelihood of remedial action being successful on the well is uncertain and the capital expense of the work-over may be significant relative to the economic value of the reserves. As well, an additional two sections of land were classified as possible reserves in the Gilwood as a result of the ability to establish Gilwood gas potential by analogue in the near vicinity of Bison.

Future Development

 

The Bison project has additional development potential within the Gilwood member for gas. As the property contains four sections of land and only a single section is developed on that acreage position, initially the addition of seismic or a wider geological evaluation or a combination of both would be beneficial in identifying the areal extent of the Gilwood reservoir and hence identifying additional drilling locations on the Bison property itself. The current opportunity would benefit from the expenditure of seismic in the amount of $250,000 to determine the extent of the structure relating to the Gilwood member and approximately $300,000 for remedial work on the existing gas well.

 

The full geotechnical and geophysical evaluation of this project was beyond the scope of this report, but would be highly recommended in order to assess the complete potential of this project.
