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. There are no reserves that may 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.

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 December 31, 2014, the net tangible book value of our shares was $(20,928) or approximately $(0.0021) 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 December 31, 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 largescale 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.
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:

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.

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; |
· |
toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
· |
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and |
· |
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; |
26
|
|
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.
REGULATION M
Our officers and directors, who will offer and sell the Shares, are aware that they are required to comply with the provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the officers and directors, sales agents, any broker-dealer or other person who participate in the distribution of shares in this offering from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.
REPORTS
We are subject to certain reporting requirements and will furnish annual financial reports to our stockholders, certified by our independent accountants, and will furnish un-audited quarterly financial reports in our quarterly reports filed electronically with the SEC. All reports and information filed by us can be found at the SEC website, www.sec.gov.
STOCK TRANSFER AGENT
We do not have a stock transfer agent at this time. We intend to appoint a stock transfer agent following the completion of this offering.

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.

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.
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
We have filed a registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus is a part, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Upon completion of the registration, we will be required to file all requisite reports, such as Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, and other information with the Commission.

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 UNAUDITED 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 a non-producing 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.
Unevaluated 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.
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.
F-7

|
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 has no assets and an accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 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 – RELATED PARTY
On December 1, 2014 the Company issued US$2,408 (CAD$2,800) convertible note for cash to a related party. The note bears interest at 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 2.5 cents ($0.025) per share.
NOTE 5 – 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:

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 6 – 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 as of September 30, 2014.
NOTE 7 – 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 and December 31, 2014 the property had not recorded any production and its reserves were unproven.
NOTE 8 – 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.

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.

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.

Indemnification: |
A. |
The Corporation must indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (a “Covered Person”) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Covered Action”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is legal representative, is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity (a “Covered Entity”), including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Covered Person, so long as such covered person (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall only be required to indemnify a Covered Person in connection with a Covered Action (or part thereof) commenced by such Covered Person if the commencement of such Covered Action (or part thereof) by the Covered Person was authorized by the Board of Directors. |
|
|
||
B. |
The Corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Director or officer in defending any Covered Action as they are incurred and in advance of its final disposition so long as such Director or officer provides an undertaking to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that such Director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article 12 or otherwise. |
6
|
|
C. |
If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article 12 is not paid in full within 30 days after a written claim therefor by the Covered Person has been received by the Corporation, the Covered Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law. |
|
|
||
D. |
The rights conferred on any Covered Person by this Article 12 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of these Articles of Incorporation, the By-Laws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. This Article 12 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Covered Persons when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action. |
|
|
||
E. |
The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any Covered Person who was or is serving at its request as a Director, officer, employee or agent of a Covered Entity shall be reduced by any amount such Covered Person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such Covered Entity. |
|
|
||
F. |
Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article 12 shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any Covered Person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. |
|
|
||
G. |
In furtherance and not in limitation of any powers conferred by statute: |
(i) |
The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is serving in any capacity, at the request of the Corporation, any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability or expense incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability or expense under the provisions of law; and |
||
|
|||
(ii) |
The Corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or lien on any assets of the corporation and/or use other means (including, without limitation, letters of credit, guaranties, surety bonds and/or other similar arrangements), and enter into contracts providing indemnification to the full extent authorized or permitted by law and including as part thereof provisions with respect to any or all of the foregoing to ensure the payment of such amounts as may become necessary to effect indemnification as provided therein, or elsewhere. |
||
|
|||
(iii) |
The Corporation may, as determined appropriate by the Board of directors, enter into any agreements, contracts or arrangements, including indemnification agreements, with directors and officers of the Corporation, in furtherance of this Article 12. |
13. |

EXHIBIT 10.4
THIS NOTE AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION; HOWEVER, THE COMMISSION HAS NOT MADE AN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION THAT THE SECURITIES BEING OFFERED ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION. THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION DOES NOT PASS UPON THE MERITS OF OR GIVE ITS APPROVAL TO ANY SECURITIES OFFERED OR THE TERMS OF THE OFFERING, NOR DOES IT PASS UPON THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OFFERING CIRCULAR OR OTHER SELLING LITERATURE.
CONVERTIBLE NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BARREL ENERGY INC, a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the "BORROWER"), hereby promises to pay to Gurminder Sangha (the "HOLDER"), whose address for purposes hereof is, 14890 66a Ave, Surrey B.C V3S 2W4, or his registered assigns or successors in interest, or order, without demand, the sum of Two Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($2,800.00), with any accrued and unpaid interest on or before December 31, 2015 (the "Maturity Date").
The following terms shall apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I
INTEREST
INTEREST RATE. Interest payable on this Note shall accrue at the annual rate of five percent (5.0%) and be payable in arrears on the Maturity Date.
ARTICLE II
AMORTIZATION
PRINCIPAL PAYMENT. The Borrower shall repay the original principal amount of this Note (to the extent such amount has not been converted pursuant to Article III below), together with interest accrued to date on such portion of the original principal amount not previously paid (collectively the "PRINCIPAL AMOUNT"), on the Maturity Date.
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 31, 2015, 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").
1
|
|
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 as of the Conversion Date. 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.
(b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.1(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 3.1(a) and 3.1(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.
2
|
|
(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 3.1(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.
ARTICLE IV
EVENT OF DEFAULT
The occurrence of any of the following events is an Event of Default ("EVENT OF DEFAULT"):
4.1 FAILURE TO PAY PRINCIPAL, INTEREST OR OTHER FEES. The Borrower fails to pay any installment of principal, interest or other fees when due and such failure continues for a period of fifteen (15) days after the due date.
4.2 BREACH OF COVENANT. The Borrower breaches any material covenant or other term or condition of this Note in any material respect and such breach, if subject to cure, continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice to the Borrower from the Holder.
4.3 BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Any material representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein, or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or therewith is false or misleading and can not be cured for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is received by the Borrower from the Holder.
4.4 RECEIVER OR TRUSTEE. The Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business; or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.
4.5 JUDGMENTS. Any money judgment, writ or similar final process shall be entered or filed against the Borrower or any of its property or other assets for more than $50,000, and remains unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days.
3

|
4.6 BANKRUPTCY. Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings or relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors instituted by or against the Borrower.
4.7 STOP TRADE. An SEC stop trade order or trading suspension of the Common Stock for 5 consecutive days or 5 days during a period of 10 consecutive days, excluding in all cases a suspension of all market trading.
4.8 FAILURE TO DELIVER COMMON STOCK OR REPLACEMENT NOTE. The Borrower's failure to timely deliver Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to and in the form required by this Note.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Holder may make all sums of principal, interest and other fees then remaining unpaid hereon and all other amounts payable hereunder immediately due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, or grace period, all of which hereby are expressly waived.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder hereof in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
5.2 NOTICES. Any notice herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party notified, (b) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Borrower at the address as set forth on the signature page of this Note, and to the Holder at the address set forth on the first page of this Note for Holder, or at such other address as the Borrower or the Holder may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other party hereto.
5.3 AMENDMENT PROVISION. The term "Note" and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

5.4 ASSIGNABILITY. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns, and may be assigned by the Holder.
5.5 GOVERNING LAW. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of Minnesota or in the federal courts located in the state of Minnesota; provided, however that the Holder may choose to waive this provision and bring an action outside the state of Minnesota. The Borrower agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party their reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or unenforceability of any other provision of this Note.
5.6 MAXIMUM PAYMENTS. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Borrower to the Holder and thus refunded to the Borrower.
5.7 CONSTRUCTION. Each party acknowledges that they participated in the preparation of this Note and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Note to favor one party against the other.

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.
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 requirements 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 average historical price for NGPL – Midcon as at December 31, 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.
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 requirements of 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
|
|
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. |
6
|
|
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.
7
|
|
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.
