	Re:		Sale of Properties

Port Hudson Field, East Baton Rouge Parish; Louisiana;

West
Cameron 225, Offshore Cameron Parish, Louisiana, GOM OCS-G-0900 (“WC225”)

 

Dear Sirs:

 

As discussed in previous conversations
and correspondence between WEST TEXAS RESOURCES, INC. (“WTXR”) and ENTEK PARTNERS, LLC (“ENTEK”),
ENTEK has agreed to purchase certain oil and gas properties and interests from WTXR. Specifically, ENTEK has agreed to acquire
(a) an undivided 3.1956% of 8/8ths working interest (being equivalent to a 2.4926% net revenue interest) out of the interests owned
by WTXR in certain producing oil and gas leases known as the Port Hudson Field in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana (the “Port
Hudson Property”); and (b) a graduated Net Profits Interest (as such term is more specifically defined in the attached Exhibit
B-2) in the leasehold interests owned by WTXR in that certain Federal Offshore Lease Number OCS G-0900 known as WC225 (the “WC225
NPI”) (which leases and interests, together with their attendant wells and production assets, and related contract and other
rights are collectively referred to herein as the “Properties”, or each as a “Property” and are more particularly
described on Exhibit A hereto). By execution of this letter agreement (the “Agreement”), the parties are formalizing
their agreement to the above described transaction, upon the following terms and conditions:

 

	1.		Purchase Price: ENTEK agrees to pay or advance on behalf of WTXR the total
sum of $565,000 in consideration for the conveyance by WTXR of the above described interests in the Properties as follows: (a)
$290,000 at closing on account of the acquisition of the leasehold interests in the Port Hudson Property less a credit for any
monies received by WXTR for hydrocarbon production after the January 1, 2014 effective date; and (b) payment of WTXR’s proportionate
share of the cost of the D-1 well dual recompletion of up to (i) a maximum of $275,000, or (ii) such greater amount as provided
for in the attached Exhibit B2 Section 1, within 20 days of the presentation of the WC225 D-1 Recompletion AFE Amount.

  

	2.		WC225 Collateral: Failure of ENTEK to timely pay WTXR’s share of the
invoice for the WC225 D-1 Recompletion AFE Amount as stipulated in Section 1 above, except as otherwise provided for in the attached
Exhibit B-2 Section 1, will result in forfeiture of its participation interest in the Port Hudson Property and in the WC225 NPI.
ENTEK agrees that in such event it will sell its interest in both Properties back to WTXR for $1.00 when presented with an Assignment
and Bill of Sale and an Assignment of Net Profits Interest by WTXR as Buyer and ENTEK as Seller and otherwise in the same form
as that attached hereto as Exhibits B-1 and B-2.

 

    	1

    	 

    

 

	3.		Effective Date and Time: The Effective Date and Time for the conveyance of
the interests in the Port Hudson Property shall be 7:00 a.m., Central Daylight Time, January 1, 2014 ("Effective Time")
and, in the case of the WC225 NPI, the first day of the month immediately following the payment of the WC225 D-1 Recompletion
AFE Amount.

 

	4.		Closing Date: Closing for the initial conveyance of the subject interests in
the Properties shall take place on or before April 15, 2014 (the “Closing Date”).

 

	5.		Future Operations: Pursuant to the terms of the joint operating agreement governing
the Port Hudson Property, ENTEK shall have the right and obligation to participate proportionately in all future operations related
to that Property. Under the terms of the Net Profits Interest ENTEK will benefit from the future operations on the West Cameron
225 Lease from and after its Effective Time, but will not become a party to the joint operating agreement governing this Property.

 

	6.		Definitive Conveyance Documents: WTXR shall execute and deliver at Closing
(i) the Assignment and Bill of Sale for the interest in the Port Hudson Property, in the form attached as Exhibit B-1 hereto,
and (ii) the WC225 Net Profits Interest Conveyance, in the form attached as Exhibit B-2 hereto.

 

	7.		Liens and Encumbrances: The Properties to be assigned to ENTEK shall be free
and clear of all liens and encumbrances.

 

	8.		Warranty of Title: WTXR makes no warranty of any kind, expressed or implied,
except as to parties claiming or to claim by, through or under WTXR, but not otherwise.

 

	9.		Title Review; Records Research: Following execution of this Agreement and through
the Closing Date, ENTEK shall be entitled to review and photocopy all title material relating to the Properties in the possession
of WTXR. In addition to the review of title, and in order to facilitate ENTEK's due diligence work with respect to the Properties,
WTXR shall permit ENTEK's representatives access to all accounting, engineering, geological, geophysical and other records, books,
contracts relating to the Properties.

 

	10.		Facilities Inspection: Following execution of this Agreement and through the
Closing Date, ENTEK, at its sole risk and expense, shall complete any and all inspections and its "As Is" approval of
all equipment and facilities attributable to or owned or used in connection with the Properties, to confirm for itself that the
Properties are in reasonable operating condition consistent with oil and gas industry standards.

  

	11.		Governing Law: The construction and interpretation of this letter agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without reference to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

 

	12.		Allocation of Liability and Expenses: Each party shall pay and discharge all
liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by such party or on such party's behalf in connection with the preparation, authorization,
execution and performance of this Agreement and the Assignment and Bill of Sale and Net Profits Conveyance, including without
limitation all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, counsel, accountants, and auditors retained by such party, as well
as all amounts payable with respect to any claim for brokerage, finder's fees or other commissions based in any way on any agreements,
arrangements, or understandings made by such party.

 

    	2

    	 

    

 

	13.		Post Effective Time Assumption of Liabilities: ENTEK shall assume its proportionate
share of the responsibility and liability, and does hereby indemnify and hold WTXR and PHV harmless as to the conveyed interests
in the Properties acquired herein, arising from the ownership or operation of the Properties after the Effective Time.

	14.		Confidentiality: This letter and its contents are confidential and shall not
be disclosed to any third party by either party hereto, other than to (a) administrative agencies to which such disclosure is
required by law, contract or administrative regulation, and (b) personnel, agents, or representatives as each party believes are
necessary in good faith for completing the transactions represented by this Agreement.

GOVERNING DOCUMENTS 

 

2.0 This Assignment is expressly made and
accepted by Assignee subject to: (a) all applicable local, state, and federal statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations and
all decisions of every court and governmental authority having jurisdiction over this Assignment, the Subject Interests and the
Subject Hydrocarbons; (b) the terms and provisions of a Lease or Contract within the Subject Interests; (c) any agreements extending

CALCULATION, CHARACTERISTICS, AND

DISBURSEMENT OF NET PROFITS INTEREST 

 

3.1 For purposes of calculating the Net
Profits Interest, Assignor shall maintain an account for the Subject Interests (the “Net Profits Account”) in accordance
with the terms of this Assignment, generally accepted accounting practices, and Council of Petroleum Accountants Society standards
that sets forth the charges and credits made thereto pursuant to this Assignment on the basis of a Calendar Month for which production
and other items of credit and costs and expenses are accounted for. Assignee shall furnish to Assignee or its designee, within
thirty (30) days of the end of each Calendar Month, commencing with the first Calendar Month immediately succeeding the Calendar
Month in which the Effective Date falls, a report, in form and substance as agreed by the Parties, that sets forth the charges
and credits made to the Net Profits Account through the end of the relevant Calendar Month, as well as any payment of Net Profits
Interest due to Assignee for the relevant Calendar Month.

 

The term “Net
Profits” shall mean an amount determined for each Calendar Month after the Effective Date equal to the result of subtracting
(a) the sum of (i) the amount of any negative Net Profits in respect of the prior Calendar Month plus (ii) the Net Investment
for the relevant Calendar Month, from (b) the Net Revenue Amount for the relevant Calendar Month.

 

To the extent that,
at the end of any Calendar Month, the Net Profits are negative, then there shall be no Net Profits Interest due to Assignee for
that Calendar Month, and the negative Net Profit amount shall be carried forward to the next Calendar Month in calculating its
Net Profits.

    	16

    	 

    

3.2 Before Payout, to the extent that,
at the end of any Calendar Month, the Net Profits are positive, Assignor shall pay to Assignee its Net Profits Interest of seventy-five
percent (75%) of the Net Profits in the Net Profits Account, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified
by Assignee from time to time, within thirty (30) days after the end of the relevant Calendar Month. After Payout, to the extent
that, at the end of any Calendar Month, the Net Profits are positive, Assignor shall pay to Assignee its Net Profits Interest of
fifty percent (50%) of the Net Profits in the Net Profits Account in the same manner as Before Payout.

 

3.3 Assignee shall never be responsible
for the payment of any part of the costs and expenses charged against the Net Profits Account or for any liabilities incurred in
connection with the development, exploration, equipping, operation and/or plug and abandonment of the Subject Properties. Assignor
hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless Assignee, its respective agents, employees, successors and assigns
from and against any and all such responsibility and liability.

 

3.4 If Assignee shall take exception to
any monthly statement or payment of Net Profits Interest rendered by Assignor within one (1) year from its receipt of such monthly
statement, Assignee shall notify Assignor in writing, setting forth in such notice the specific matters to which exception is taken.
The Parties shall undertake to agree on a resolution to any exception within thirty (30) days of the provision of notice of such
exception. In the event that the Parties cannot reach complete agreement within such period of time, either Party may refer any
remaining matters in dispute to Henry & Company PC and if that firm is unable or unwilling to perform its obligations
under this Section, such other independent accounting firm as may be mutually acceptable to the Parties for review and final determination.
The accounting firm shall conduct the arbitration proceedings in Houston, Texas in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules
of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Section. The accounting
firm’s determination shall be made within thirty (30) days after submission of the matters in dispute and shall be final
and binding on both Parties, without right of appeal. The accounting firm shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining
the specific disputed matters submitted by either Party and may not award damages or penalties to either Party with respect to
any matter. Each Party shall bear its own legal fees and other costs of presenting its case. Each Party shall bear one-half of
the costs and expenses of the accounting firm. Any exception not made within such one (1) year period shall be deemed waived.

 

3.5 As between Assignor and Assignee, Assignor
and/or the Operators of the Block shall have exclusive charge and control of the marketing of all Hydrocarbons allocable to the
Net Profits Interest. Assignor and/or such Operators shall market the production of Hydrocarbons allocable to the Net Profits Interest
with and on the same terms as Assignor’s share of Hydrocarbons from the Subject Interests and shall collect and receive the
proceeds from the sale of all such production of Hydrocarbons. Assignor and/or Operator(s) shall not enter into a contract with
an Affiliate for the sale of Hydrocarbons produced from the Subject Interests, unless such contract is on the same terms and prices
prevailing in the area in arms’ length sales contracts that Assignor and/or such Operators, acting as a reasonably prudent
operator, would enter into with a non-Affiliate. Assignor and/or such Operators shall duly perform all material obligations binding
on it under all sales contracts in accordance with the terms thereof, and shall take all appropriate measures to enforce the performance
under each of the sales contracts of the obligations of the purchaser thereunder.

 

3.6 Immediately prior to the expiration
of the Term of this Assignment, fifty percent (50%) of the balance in the Net Profits Account (and to the extent that Payout has
not previously occurred, seventy five percent (75%) of the balance
in the Net Profits Account), to the extent not previously paid to Assignee, shall be paid to Assignee by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account specified by Assignee within thirty (30) days of such event.

    	17

    	 

    

 

3.7 Any amount not paid by Assignor to
Assignee when due shall bear interest, and Assignor shall pay interest at the lesser of (a) twelve percent (12%), and (b) the maximum
rate of interest allowed by law from such due date until such amount is paid.

	RE:		West Cameron 225 (OCS-G 00900) - Division Order Letter Well No. 7 and Well No.
8 (D-1)

 

Dear Sir or Madam:

 

Tarpon Operating &
Development, L.L.C. ("Tarpon") has taken over as operator of the West Cameron 225 lease ("WC 225")
from Breton Energy, LLC. The WC 225 Nos. 7 and 8 (D-1) Wells were connected to a new pipeline and the lease restored to production
on September 20, 2013.

 

Tarpon operates WC
225 under the terms of a Joint Operating Agreement ("JOA") dated effective October 1, 2013. You are a non-operator
party to the JOA.

 

In accordance with the terms of the JOA,
Tarpon will sell 100% of production from WC 225 and receive 100% of each non-operator's gross revenues from sales of production.

 

Prior to distributing
proceeds to non-operators, Tarpon will subtract each non-operator's share of:

 

	a)		A $0.02 per mcf fee paid to Tarpon for marketing production.

 

	b)		A fee or surcharge equal to 15% of the premiums for "Extra Expense Liability"
and "All Risks of Physical Loss or Damage for Facilities" insurance provided by Tarpon.

 

	c)		A $0.31 per mcf fee to establish and maintain an "Abandonment Fund." The
fee will be taken out of each working interest owner's share of proceeds from sale of production until $3.3 million is accumulated.

 

	d)		The lease royalty burdening WC 225.

 

 

 

Page 1 of 2

WC 225 Division Order Lttr - West Texas CRS 11-19-13

    	23

    	 

    

	e)		Although not required by the JOA, Tarpon is prepared to pay all current overriding
royalties burdening each non-operator's interest in WC 225. Tarpon will provide such service to the joint account only for the
overriding royalties listed on Attachment I and Attachment II to this letter. Any other overriding royalties burdening
a non-operator's interest will be the responsibility of that non-operator to pay.

 

As shown on Attachment
I and Attachment II to this letter, after deducting royalty and current overriding royalty burdens, your net revenue interest before
payout in WC 225 production will be:

 

Well No. 7 - 7.21183%

 

Well No. 8 (D-1) - 7.21182%

 

Before paying you based
upon these net revenue interests, Tarpon will deduct the fees and surcharges described under items a, b and c above

Subject to your execution
of this letter, Tarpon is prepared to begin paying you proceeds attributable to your interest in WC 225.

 

_______

 

By
your execution of this letter, and until Tarpon receives written notice from you with different instructions, you agree to indemnify
and hold Tarpon harmless from and against any and all claims or responsibility arising from any source which Tarpon may sustain
by reason of making payments of proceeds to you, the royalty and overriding royalty owners in the proportions and manner set out
above.

 

If it meets with your
approval, please a copy of this letter after signing in the space provided and writing in your payment address and tax identification
number.

 

Should you have any questions, please let us know.

 

Very truly yours,

 

/s/ Charles R.Sandel

greatest Working Interest in the Lease if Operator is in default of the payment of costs hereunder), at any time and from time
to time, shall be entitled to collect and receive the proceeds from the sale of all or any part of such defaulting Party's share
of hydrocarbons produced from the Lease, including the proceeds from previously executed sales contracts made by or for such delinquent
Party. All sums so collected shall be applied against the delinquent or unpaid expenses due from such Party, with the balance
of such proceeds, if any, to be paid to the delinquent Party or other person entitled thereto. Operator (or the collecting Non-
Operator, if Operator is the delinquent Party) may likewise take any other credit due any such delinquent Party and apply the
same against sums due from such delinquent Party under this Agreement. The rights granted to Operator (or Non-Operators, if Operator
is the delinquent Party) in this Section 9.5 shall not be construed as exclusive remedies but shall be in addition to all rights,
privileges, and remedies afforded Operator (or Non-Operators, if Operator
is the delinquent Party) by any other provisions of this Agreement and by law or equity. The service of a true copy of this Agreement,
or the declaration and financing statement described in Section 9.5 above, upon any purchase of all or any part of any delinquent
Party's share of hydrocarbon production from the Lease shall constitute written authorization by such delinquent Party for such
purchaser to pay the proceeds from such sale to Operator (or the collecting Non-Operator if Operator is the delinquent Party)
during such delinquency, and such purchaser shall be deemed to have been notified of such authorization at the time of such service.
The books and records kept by Operator with respect to operations hereunder shall constitute conclusive proof for purposes of
this Section 9.5.1 of the existence or non-existence of any such delinquency insofar as the right of Operator (or the collecting
Non-Operator, if Operator is the delinquent Party) to collect the proceeds from the sale or any Party's hydrocarbons is concerned,
subject, however, to all rights of inspection, verification and audit provided for in this Agreement. The exercise of the rights
granted in this Section 9.5.1 shall not in any way affect the liability of any delinquent Party for royalty payments.

9.6 Unpaid Charges.
If any Party fails to pay the charges due hereunder within sixty (60) days after rendition of Operator's statement, the other Participating
Parties shall, upon Operator's request, pay the unpaid amount in proportion to their interests. Each Party so paying its share
of the unpaid amount shall be subrogated to Operator's security rights to the extent of such payment.

 

9.7 Default.
If any Party does not pay its share of the charges when due, Operator may give such Party written notice by certified or registered
mail that unless payment is made within thirty (30) days, such Party shall be in default. Any Party in default shall have no further
access to the maps, records, data, interpretations, or other information obtained in connection with operations for so long as
such Party remains in default. A defaulting Party shall not be entitled to vote on any matters until such time as all of said Party's
payments are current. The voting interest of each non-defaulting Party shall be in the proportion its Participating Interest bears
to the total non-defaulting Participating Interest. As to any operation approved during the time which a Party is in default, such
Party shall be deemed to be a Non-Participating Party.

 

9.8 Carved-Out Interests.
Any overriding royalty interest, production payment, net profits interest, carried interest or any other interest carved out of
a working interest (each a "carved-out interest") in the Lease other than the carved-out interests listed on Exhibit
"A' to this Agreement shall be subject to the rights of the Parties to this Agreement. If any Party whose Participating Interest
is so encumbered does not pay its share of expense and the proceeds from such Party's share of the sale of production under Section
9.5 are insufficient for that purpose, the security rights provided for therein may be applied against the carved-out interests
with which such Party's Working Interest is burdened. In such event, the rights of the owner of such carved-out interest shall
be subordinated to the security rights granted in Section 9.5.

 

9.9 Supplemental
AFE. If an approved item, project or operation, exceeds the expenditure previously approved by the Participating Parties by
an amount exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount originally approved (the "excess limit"), Operator shall
advise each Participating Party of the amount necessary to complete the item, project, or operation and an election by the Participating
Parties shall determine whether the item, project, or operation shall be completed. If there is not unanimous agreement with respect to such
expenditure, the Party or Parties electing to complete the project shall be entitled to do so. The Party or Parties who elect not
to complete such project shall be subject, with respect only to such Party's proportionate part of the costs to complete in excess
of the excess limit, to a recoupment penalty in accordance with the provisions of Article 13.2.1. In any event, each Party who
initially agreed to participate in such item, project or operation, shall remain liable, where necessary, for its proportionate
part of dry hole abandonment costs, salvage costs, and rig removal costs, but only to the extent that such costs have not been
increased by the completion of the item, project, or operation. It is expressly stipulated that this provision shall not apply
to those circumstances involving a bona fide emergency.

the same time. Well proposals made under the terms hereof shall be limited to one well each and except as provided below, no Party
shall be required to make an election under more than one well proposal at the same time or while a well is drilling or completing.
This paragraph shall not limit the right of a Party to propose a well while another is drilling or completing, however, the time
to elect under such a proposal shall be deferred until (a) thirty (30) days after the previous well has been completed or plugged
and abandoned, or (b) forty-eight (48) hours from receipt of notification that a drilling rig is on location and standby charges
are being accumulated, whichever is earlier. It is provided, however, that any Party, upon request to Operator, may have additional
time, if practicable, to make its election on the condition that such Party shall bear all costs and risk incurred during such
additional standby period.

 

ARTICLE 11 

EXPLORATORY WELLS

 

11.1 Operations
By All Parties. Any Party may propose an Exploratory Well by notifying the other Parties. If all the Parties agree to participate
in drilling the proposed well, Operator shall drill same for the joint account of the Parties within one-hundred twenty (120) days
of the end of the election date(s).

 

11.2 Second Opportunity
to Participate. If fewer than all, but one (1) or more Parties having a combined Working Interest of twenty-five percent (25%)
or more, elect to participate, the proposing Party shall inform the Parties of the elections made, whereupon any Party originally
electing not to participate may then elect to Participate by notifying the Proposing Party within forty-eight (48) hours after
receipt of such information.

 

11.3 Operations
By Fewer Than All Parties. If less than all, but one (1) or more Parties owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more in interest
in the Lease, elect to participate in such operations, the proposing Party, immediately after the expiration of the notice period
in Article 11.2, above, shall advise the Participating Parties of (a) the total interest of the Parties approving such operation,
and (b) its recommendation as to whether the Participating Parties should proceed with the operation as proposed. Each Participating
Party, within five (5) business days or forty-eight (48) hours if rig is on location, after receipt of such notice, shall advise
the proposing Party of its desire to (a) limit participation to such Party's interest
as shown on Exhibit “A", or (b) carry its proportionate part of the Non-Participating Parties' interest. Each Participating
Party shall be entitled, but not obligated, to acquire its share of the Non-Participating Parties' share in the ratio that such
Parties' working interest at the time the original proposal was made bears to the total working interest of all Participating Parties.
Failure of a Participating Party receiving such a notice to reply within the fixed period shall constitute an election by the Party
not to carry its proportionate part of the Non-Participating Parties' interest. The proposing Party, at its election, may withdraw
such proposal if there is insufficient participation, and shall promptly notify all Parties of such decision. If the operation
is fully subscribed, it shall be conducted as a Non-Consent Operation for the joint account of the Participating Parties and the
following special provisions shall apply:

 

Page 13 of 45

 

    	40

    	 

    

11.3.1 Exploratory
Wells. If the well will be an Exploratory Well drilled under this Agreement, then upon commencement of such drilling operations
[within one- hundred twenty (120) days after the last applicable election date], each Non- Participating Party's interest and leasehold
operating rights in any Reservoir(s) tested by such Exploratory Well, and title to production from any productive Reservoir(s)
resulting from such drilling operations shall be owned by and vested in each Participating Party in proportion to its Participating
Interest for so long as the operations are conducted or production is being obtained therefrom; provided, however, that such rights
shall revert to each Non-Participating Party in accordance with the provision of Articles 13.2.1(a) and 13.2.2.

 

11.4 Casing Point
Election. Upon reaching Casing Point in any well drilled under the provisions of this Agreement (whether commenced as an Exploratory
or Development Operation), the Operator shall immediately notify the other Participating Parties in writing and delivered by personal
messenger, or by fax, its recommendations as to further operations thereon. Each Participating Party, within forty-eight (48) hours
after receipt of such notice and all available logs and test results, shall advise the Operator and the other Participating Parties
by telephone with written confirmation sent within twenty-four (24) hours, or by fax, or in writing whether it accepts Operator's
recommendation or makes additional recommendations as to further operations with respect to such well. If additional recommendations
are made, the Participating Parties shall have an additional twenty-four (24) hours to respond. If all Participating Parties elect
to abandon the well at that point, it shall be plugged and abandoned at their joint cost and expense. Any Party may request in
writing up to forty-eight (48) hours of additional time beyond the herein specified time in order to make an election; however,
all costs associated to such standby rig time shall be at the expense of the Party or Parties requesting such additional time.

 

If less than all, but one (1) or more
Participating Parties owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more in interest in the well elect to conduct a specific operation,
other than plugging and abandoning the well, the Parties so electing shall conduct such operation as a Non-Consent Operation under
the provisions of Article 13. If at any time there is more than one operation proposed in connection with any Well subject to
this Agreement, and in the event no one proposed operation receives the approval of one (1) or more Participating Parties owning
fifty percent (50%) or more in interest in the well, then unless all Participating Parties agree on the sequence of such operations,
such operations shall be proposed and conducted (with no minimum party's percentage approval necessary) in the following order
of priority:

 

Page 14 of 45

    	41

    	 

    

(a)proposals to do additional testing, coring or logging.

 

(b)proposals to attempt completions in the objective zone,
in ascending order.

 

(c)proposals to plug back and attempt completions, in ascending
order.

 

(d)proposals to sidetrack to original objective depth.

 

(e)proposals to deepen the Well, in descending order.

 

(f)proposals to sidetrack the Well to a new objective.

 

(g)proposals to perform other operations.

 

(h)proposals to temporarily plug and abandon Well.

 

If the Operation is other than to plug
and abandon the Well, such further Operation shall be conducted as a Non-Consent Operation under the provision of Article 13, and
if the well is subsequently abandoned as a dry hole, then the Non-Participating Party as to such further Operation shall bear its
proportionate part of what would otherwise have been the cost of plugging and abandoning the Well at the initial objective depth.

 

ARTICLE 12

DEVELOPMENT WELL OPERATIONS

 

12.1 Operations
By All Parties. Any Party may propose Development Well Operations, including any Platform or Facilities required by such operations,
by notifying the other Parties. If all Parties elect to participate in the proposed operation, Operator shall conduct such operations
for the joint account of the Parties.

 

12.2 Second Opportunity
to Participate. If fewer than all, but one (1) or more Parties have a combined Working Interest of twenty-five percent (25%)
or more, elect to participate, the proposing Party shall inform the Parties of the elections made where upon any Party originally
electing not to participate may then elect to participate by notifying the proposing Party within forty-eight (48) hours after
receipt of such information.

 

12.3 Operations
By Fewer Than All Parties. If after the second notice provided for in Article 12.2 above, less than all, but one (1) or more
Parties owning twenty-five percent (25%)or more in interest in the Lease, elects to participate in such operation, the proposing
Party shall advise the Participating Parties of (a) the total interest of the Parties approving such operation, and (b) its recommendation
as to whether the Participating Parties should proceed with the operation as proposed. Each Participating Party within forty-eight
(48) hours after receipt of such notice, shall advise the proposing Party of its desire to (a) limit participation to its existing
working interest, or (b) carry its proportionate part of or any part of the Non-Participating Parties' interest. Failure of a Participating
Party receiving such a notice to reply within the fixed period shall constitute an election by the Party not to carry its proportionate
part of the Non-Participating Parties' interest. The proposing Party, at its election, may withdraw such proposal if there is insufficient
participation, and shall promptly notify all Parties of such decision. If the operation is fully subscribed,
it shall be conducted as a Non-Consent Operation for the joint account of the Participating Parties. If such operations are to
be conducted from an existing Platform, the election to participate shall be made by one (1) or more Parties having a combined
participating interest of twenty-five percent (25%) or more in such Platform.

If a well is proposed to be drilled below the deepest producible zone penetrated by a Producible Well, any Party may elect to participate
either in the well as proposed or to the base of the deepest producible zone. A Party electing to participate in such well to the
base of said zone shall bear its proportionate part of the cost and risk of drilling to said zone including completion or abandonment.
All operations below the depth to which such Party agreed to participate shall be governed by Article 13.

 

ARTICLE 13 

NON-CONSENT OPERATIONS

 

13.1 Non-Consent
Operations. No party, including the Operator, shall be obligated to acquire a Non-Participating Party's interest in a proposed
operation. Operator shall conduct Non-Consent Operations at the sole risk and expense of the Participating Parties, in accordance
with the following provisions:

 

13.1.1 Non-Interference. Non-Consent
Operations shall not interfere unreasonable with operations being conducted by all Parties

 

13.1.2 Multiple Completion Limitations.

same Parties in the same proportions; (b) the well is incapable of producing from any of its completions; or (c) all Participating
Parties in the well consent to such operations.

 

13.1.3 Metering. In Non-Consent
Operations, separate metering devices shall be required to measure production, but subject to approval by appropriate governmental
authority, such production may be determined upon the basis of appropriate well tests.

 

13.1.4 Non-Consent
Well. Operations on a Non-Consent Well shall not be conducted in any producible zone penetrated by a Producible Well
without approval of each Non-Participating Party unless: (a) such zone shall have been designated
in the notice as a completion zone; (b) completion of such well in said zone will not increase the well density governmentally
prescribed or approved for such zone; and (c) the horizontal distance between the vertical projections of the midpoint of the zone
in such well and the same zone in an existing well, if producible, will be at least two-thousand (2,000) feet if an oil-well completion
or three-thousand (3,000) feet if a gas-well completion.

    	43

    	 

    

Subject to the foregoing provisions of
this Article, until the Participating Parties in a Non-Consent Well have recouped the amount to which they are entitled hereunder,
they may conduct any reworking operation on such well which they may desire, including plugging back to a shallower zone. In this
event, the cost of such reworking operation shall be subject to the penalty provisions of Section 13.2.1.

 

13.1.5 Cost Information.Operator
shall, within one-hundred twenty (120) days after completion of a Non-Consent Well, furnish the Non-Participating Parties an itemized
statement of the cost of such well prepared in accordance with Exhibit "C" or copies of the monthly billings made to
the Participating Parties. Operator shall thereafter furnish to the Non-Participating Parties a quarterly statement showing operating
expenses and the proceeds from the sale of Petroleum Substances produced therefrom.

 

13.1.6 Completions. For the purposes
of determinations hereunder, each completion shall be considered a separate well.

 

13.1.7 Liens. In the conduct of
Non-Consent Operations, the Participating Parties shall keep the Lease, Leased Lands and equipment and material thereon free and

interest and leasehold operating rights in the Non-Consent Operation and title to the Petroleum Substances produced therefrom shall
be owned by and vested in each Participating Party in proportion to its Participating Interest for as long as the operations originally
proposed are being conducted or production is being obtained therefrom, subject to the following:

 

13.2.1 Production Reversion Penalties.
Such rights, title and interest shall revert to each Non-Participating Party when the Participating Parties have recouped out of
the Non-Participating Party's share of the proceeds of production (after deducting Non-Participating Party's share of royalty,
operating expenses and all applicable taxes) from such Non-Consent Operations an amount which equals:

 

(a)
If such operation is an Exploratory Operation under Article 11.3.1, eight hundred percent (800%) of the amount which, had it
participated, would have been borne by the Non-Participating Party as its share of the cost of such
Non-Consent Operation, including the cost of equipping the Non-Consent Well through the wellhead connections.

Page 17 of 45

    	44

    	 

    

(b)If such operation is a Development
Operation, five hundred percent (500%) of the amount which, had it participated, would have been borne by the Non-Participating
Party as its share of the cost of such

 

Non-Consent Operations, including the cost
of equipping the Non-Consent Well through the wellhead connections.

 

(c)If such operation is the construction
and installation of a Platform or Pipelines, three-hundred percent (300%) of the amount which, had it participated, would have
been borne by the Non-Participating Party as its share of the cost of such Non-Consent Platform or Pipelines. If such operation
is the construction and installation of Facilities, two hundred percent (200%) of the amount which, had it participated, would
have been borne by the Non-Participating Party as its share of the cost of such Non-Consent Facilities.

 

Upon the recoupment of such costs, each
Non-Participating Party shall become a Participating Party in such operations, except as provided in Article 13.4.

 

13.2.2 Recoupment. The recoupment
of amounts applicable to any Non-Consent Exploratory Well under Article 13.2.1 (a) shall be recoverable out of each Non-Participating
Party's share of production as follows:

 

(a)If the said Non-Consent Exploratory
Well is completed as a producer, then the above amounts shall be recoverable, with respect to said well, not only out of each Non-Participating
Party's share of production therefrom, but also out of fifty percent (50%) of each Non-Participating Party's share of initial
production attributable to the new productive reservoirs encountered in said Non-Consent Exploratory Well in any and all wells
subsequently drilled on the Lease and completed in such reservoirs;

 

(b)If the said Non-Consent Exploratory
Well is not completed as a producer, but otherwise qualified as producible under the provisions of Article 2.21 hereof, then the
above amounts shall be recoverable, with respect to said well, out of fifty percent (50%) of each Non-Participating Party's share
of initial production attributable to the new productive reservoirs encountered in said Non-Consent Exploratory Well in any and
all wells subsequently drilled on the Lease and completed in such reservoirs;

 

and the provisions herein for the relinquishment
and reverting of each Non-Participating Party's operating rights and production shall also apply, with respect to such fifty percent
(50%) interest, to said subsequently drilled well or wells.

 

13.2.3 Non-Production
Reversion. If a Non-Consent Well results in a dry hole or ceases to produce in paying quantities before the Participating Parties
recoup the amount to which they are entitled, and provided a proposal to deepen the Non-Consent Well is not made in accordance with Article 13.3, each Non-Participating Party's
operating rights shall revert, except that the well shall be abandoned and plugged at the sole risk and expense of the Participating
Parties. Any sum realized from salvage in excess of amounts to be recouped from the well shall be credited to all Parties.

 

Page 18 of 45

    	45

    	 

    

13.3 Deepening or
Sidetracking of Non-Consent Well. If after a Non-Consent Well has been drilled to its objective zone, any Participating Party
proposes to deepen or sidetrack such Non-Consent Well, a Non-Participating Party may participate by notifying the Operator within
thirty (30) days [forty-eight (48) hours If rig is on location] after receiving the proposal that it will join in the deepening
or sidetracking operation and by paying to the Participating Parties an amount equal to such Non-Participating Party's share of
the actual costs incurred in the drilling and casing of such well to the depth at which such deepening or sidetracking operation
is commenced. The Participating Parties shall continue to be entitled to recoup, out of the proceeds of production from the non-
consent portion of the well, the full sum specified in Article 13.2.1 applicable to such Non-Consent Well less the amount paid
under this Article.

 

13.4 Operations
from Non-Consent Platforms. A Party which did not originally participate in a Platform shall be a Non-Participating Party as
to ail wells and operations from such Platform and shall be subject to the provisions of Article 13.2. Reversion shall occur only
after the original Participating Parties have recouped the sum set forth in Article 13.2.1 for the Platform and the Non-Consent
Operations thereon, provided, however, that such Non-Participating Party shall have the right at any time to pay to the Participating
Parties in such Platform an amount, in cash, equal to said Non-Participating Party's Share of the unrecovered balance of the recoupment
account attributable to such Platform under Section 13.2.1.(c) and thereby become a Participating Party with regard to such Platform
and subsequent operations therefrom.

 

13.5 Allocation
of Platform Costs to Non-Consent Operations. Non-Consent Operations shall be subject to further conditions as follows:

 

13.5.1 Charges.
If a Non-Consent Well is drilled from a Platform, the Participating Parties in such well shall pay to the Operator for credit to
the owners of such Platform a charge for the right to use the Platform and its Facilities as follows:

 

(a)Such Participating Parties shall
pay a sum equal to that portion of the total cost of the Platform, which one Platform slot bears to the total number of slots on
the Platform. If the Non-Consent Well is abandoned, the right of Participating Parties to use that Platform slot shall terminate,
unless such Parties commence drilling a substitute well from the same slot within ninety (90) days after abandonment.

 

(b)If theNon-Consent Wellproduction
is handled through the Facilities, the
Participating Parties shall pay a sum equal to that portion of the total cost of such Facilities which one well bears to the total
number of wells utilizing the Facilities, including such Non- Consent Well.

 

13.5.2 Operating
and Maintenance Charges. The Participating Parties shall pay all costs necessary to connect a Non-Consent Well to the Facilities
and that proportionate part of the expense of operating and maintaining the Platform and
Facilities applicable to the Non-Consent Well. Platform operating and maintenance expenses shall be allocated equally to all wells
served, and operating and maintenance expenses for the Facilities shall be allocated equally to all producing wells.

 

Page 19 of 45

    	46

    	 

    

13.5.3 Payments.
Payment of sums pursuant to Article 13.5.1 is not a purchase of an additional interest in the Platform or Facilities. Such payments
shall be included in the total amount which the Participating Parties are entitled to recoup out of production from the Non-Consent
Well.

 

13.6 Non-Consent
Operations to Maintain Lease. A Lease Maintenance Operation is defined for the purposes of this paragraph as one required to
maintain the Lease or a portion thereof within the Leased Lands, at its expiration date or otherwise. This shall include, but not
be limited to, a well proposed to be drilled during the last year of the primary term of the Lease, or subsequent thereto, when,
(a} a Lease, or affected portion thereof, is not otherwise being held by operations or production; or (b) any governmental agency
having jurisdiction requires operations to avoid loss or forfeiture of all or any portion of a Lease. A Party electing not to participate
in the Lease Maintenance Operation will assign to the Participating Parties in the proportions in which the Participating Parties
participated therein, all of its rights, title and interest In and to such Lease or such portion thereof, free and clear of any
burdens thereon, but shall not be relieved of any accrued obligations as to the Lease or such portion thereof prior to the acceptance
of such assignment. If more than one well should be proposed and drilled, either of which would maintain the Lease or such jeopardized
portion thereof, an assignment shall not be required from any Party participating in any one of such wells, but as to those wells
in which it falls to participate, any such failure shall be governed by the applicable provisions of Article 11.3 (Exploratory
Operations) or Article 12.3 (Development Operations). There shall be no minimum participating percentage approval necessary to
conduct a Lease Maintenance Operation.

 

13.7 Operator.
The designated Operator hereunder shall operate all wells drilled as a Non-Consent Operation. If the Non-Consent well is drilled
from a mobile rig, and if the designated Operator Is a Non-Participating Party therein, the Participating Party owning the largest
Participating Interest shall serve as Operator for the drilling and completion of such Well, unless the Participating Parties agree
otherwise. Upon the completion of any such well as a productive well (completion through the christmas tree), the well shall be
turned over to the designated Operator for further operations.

 

ARTICLE 14
FACILITIES

 

14.1 Approval.
Any Party may propose the installation of Facilities by notice to the other Parties with information adequate to describe the proposed
Facilities and the estimated costs. The affirmative vote of one (1) or more Parties having a combined Participating Interest of
twenty-five percent (25%) or more in the wells to be served shall constitute approval which shall be binding on all owners of the
wells to be served; however, nothing hereunder shall limit a Party's rights under Article 21.1. A proposal for a Platform, Facilities
or Pipeline shall not be combined with a proposal for any other operation.

 

14.2 Contracts.
Operator may enter into contracts with independent contractors for the Facilities and, insofar as is reasonable, shall utilize

Proposed Transaction. Should any Party (the "Assignor") desire to dispose of or transfer all or a portion of its
Working Interest in the Lease in any manner not otherwise excluded under Article 24.3.3 (Transactions Not Affected By The Preferential
Right To Purchase), and has received a bona fide offer (whether from a Party to this Agreement or from a third party) which the

transaction shall provide full information concerning the transaction including at least:

 

Page 28 of 45

offered (which shall include a monetary equivalent in U.S. Dollars based upon the reasonable market value of any consideration
other than cash),

 

oeffective date of transaction, and

Working Interest to the Party at the price and on the terms specified in the notice. The transaction shall be concluded within
a reasonable time, but no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the Election to preferentially purchase (plus a reasonable
time to secure all necessary governmental approvals). If more than one Party elects to acquire the Working Interest offered, then
each Party shall acquire a proportion of the Working Interest offered equal to the ratio its own pre-acquisition Working Interest
bears to the total pre-acquisition Working Interests of all acquiring Parties (unless the acquiring Parties agree upon a different
ratio). If only one Party elects to acquire the Working Interest offered,

it may require the assignor to transfer all of the Working
Interest offered, but may not require the transfer of less than all Working Interest offered.

During any period when a Party is deemed
to have non-consented to an operation because it has failed or is unable to timely pay its share of costs, all of such Party's
share and title of production from the Lease shall be owned and vested in the other Parties to this Agreement in proportion to

Petroleum Substances from the Lease.

EXHIBIT "E"

 

Attached to and made a part of that certain
Joint Operating Agreement dated effective October 1, 2013, by and
between Tarpon Offshore Ventures, LP, Operator, and West Texas Resources Inc., HRWC225 Investors LLC and
Camron Resources, LLC, Non-Operators.

 

OFFSHORE GAS BALANCING AGREEMENT

 

1.In accordance with the terms
of the Joint Operating Agreement to which this Agreement is attached, each Party has the right, but not the obligation take its
share of Oil and Gas in kind and separately dispose of its proportionate share of the Oil and Gas produced from any well on the
Lease; subject, however, to Section 27.1.2 of the Joint Operating Agreement. In the event any Party hereto fails, or is unable
to take and market its share of the gas as produced, the terms of this Agreement shall automatically become effective.

 

2.It is the intent of this
Agreement that each Party should receive its proportionate share of gas produced from each well, in accordance with its Working
Interest in the well, and that balancing of gas taken in kind under Paragraph 6 or cash settlement as provided in Paragraph 7
will occur for each well. For purposes of this Agreement, each completion in a well bore shall constitute a separate well.

 

3.Each Party shall make a good
faith effort to take its share of gas as currently produced. During any period when a party fails to take its full share of gas
produced, the other Parties shall be entitled, but not obligated, to take any of such available gas production not taken. Each
Party failing to take its full share of the gas as produced shall be considered underproduced by quantity of gas equal to its
proportionate share of the total volume of gas produced from any well on the lease, less such Party's proportionate share of the
gas taken for its account, vented, lost, or used in Lease operations. Those Parties wishing to take quantities of gas not taken
by an underproducing party, in the absence of any other agreement between them, may each take a share of such gas in the direct
proportion that its interest in the well bears to the total interest of all Parties taking the underproducing Party's share of
production. A Party taking gas not taken by an underproducing Party shall be considered to be by the amount of such gas taken
in excess of gas attributable to its Working Interest. All gas taken by a Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
regardless of whether such Party is underproduced or overproduced, shall be regarded as gas taken for its own account with title
thereto being in such Party, whether such gas be attributable to such Party's Working Interest share of production, or whether
it is being taken as over production, or whether it is being taken as makeup gas under Paragraph 6 below.

 

4.All parties hereto shall
share in and own the liquid hydrocarbons recovered from all gas by primary separation equipment prior to processing in a gas plant
in accordance with their respective interests as specified in the Joint Operating Agreement, whether or not such Parties are actually
producing and taking gas at such time.

 

5.The Operator will maintain
appropriate accounting on a monthly and cumulative basis of the quantities of gas each Party is entitled to receive and the quantities
of gas taken by each of the Parties. For the sole purpose of implementing the terms of this Agreement and adjusting gas imbalances
which may occur, each Party disposing of gas from any well on the Lease in any month, shall furnish or cause to be furnished to
the Operator as soon as possible, but no later than the last day of each calendar month, a statement showing the total volume
of gas sold by such party or taken in kind for its own account during the preceding calendar month (the "report period").
Within sixty (60) days after the end of each report period, the Operator shall furnish each Party a statement showing the status
of the overproduced and underproduced accounts of all Parties.

 

Page 42 of 45

 

WC 225 JOA CRS 09-27-2013

    	76

    	 

    

6.Any underproduced Party shall endeavor
to bring its taking of gas into balance. After written notice to the Operator, any Party may begin taking its full share of gas
produced from the Lease. To allow for the recovery and makeup of gas by an underproduced party and to balance the gas accounts
among the Parties in accordance with their respective interests, the underproduced Party or Parties shall, upon at least fifteen
(15) days written notice prior to the first day of any calendar month, also be entitled to take up to the lesser of (1) 200% of
the underproduced Party's share, or (2) an additional thirty-three and one third percent (33 1/3%) of the monthly quantity of that
category of gas attributable to the overproduced Party or Parties. In the event there is more than one (1) underproduced or overproduced
Party, unless otherwise agreed, each underproduced and overproduced Party's share of gas available for makeup shall be in the direct
proportion of its Working Interest to the total Working Interest of all underproduced or overproduced Parties taking or furnishing
gas for makeup. The first gas made up shall be assumed to be the first gas underproduced. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, no underproduced Party shall be allowed to take makeup gas during the months of November, December, January or
February ("The Winter Period") unless such underproduced Party has taken at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the makeup
gas to which it is entitled during the six (6) consecutive months immediately prior to the Winter Period.

 

7.If gas production from the Lease
is permanently discontinued before the gas accounts of the Parties are balanced, the overproduced party shall be liable to the
underproduced party for the unrecovered value of underproduction, with the amount and method of payment thereof and settlement
therefore to be as provided hereinafter. In making settlement with the underproduced Party for such unrecovered underproduction,
the overproduced Party shall, within thirty (30) days after a final statement is issued by Operator (said final statement to be
issued within ninety (90) days from the date gas production from the Lease is permanently discontinued), pay the underproduced
Party or Parties in cash an amount equal to the net value the overproduced Party received for all overproduced gas (i.e. volumes
of gas, less a pro rate share of gas used in lease operations, vented or lost, in excess of such overproduced Party's share of
the cumulative production from the Lease) received by such overproduced Party. For purposes hereof, the first gas production taken
by the overproduced Party in excess of its own share shall be the first to be returned to or recouped by the underproduced Party.

 

For gas taken by a Party and not resold,
the price basis shall be the same basis as used to determine royalty payments to the lessor for such gas.

For gas sold in interstate commerce, the
price basis shall be the rate collected, from time to time. If such rate is subject to regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, or other governmental entity, the price basis applicable to volumes sold during the period of regulation shall be the
rate which is not subject to possible refund, as provided by said Commission pursuant to final order or settlement applicable to
the gas sold from the lease, plus an additional collected amount which is not ultimately required by said Commission to be refunded,
such additional collected amount to be accounted for at such time as final determination is made with respect thereto.

 

Page 43 of 45

    	77

    	 

    

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the underproduced
party elect to receive such additional collected amount which is subject to possible refund pending the issuance of said final
order, such underproduced Party shall be entitled to the payment thereof from the overproduced party or Parties upon the underproduced
Party executing and delivering to the said overproduced party or Parties a letter in which the underproduced Party agrees to repay
to the overproduced Party or Parties that amount so paid that is required by said final order to be refunded, plus the interest
thereon specified in the pertinent order of said Commission.

 

8.The operating expenses are to be
borne as provided in the Joint Operating Agreement, regardless of whether all Parties are selling or using gas or whether the sales
and use of each Party are in proportion to their percentage ownership interest as set forth in the Joint Operating Agreement.

 

9.At all times while gas is produced
from the Lease, each Party shall pay or cause to be paid all royalties, severance or production taxes or other obligations burdening
its interest in gas actually utilized or sold for its account. Each Party agrees to hold each other Party harmless from any and
all claims for royalty payments asserted by its royalty owners. The term "royalty owner" shall include owners of royalty,
overriding royalties, production payments and similar interests. In the event any governmental authority lawfully prescribes that
royalty payments be made on any other basis than that described above in this Paragraph 9, each Party to this Agreement shall make
royalty payments accordingly, commencing on the effective date prescribed by such governmental authority, but the obligation of
each Party to hold each other Party harmless for royalty claims shall in all cases continue.

 

10.Nothing herein shall be construed
to deny any Party the right, from time to time, to produce and take or deliver to its purchaser the full well stream (not to exceed
maximum efficient rate of flow) for a reasonable period to meet the deliverability test required by its purchaser.

 

11.In the event an overproduced Party
intends to sell, assign, exchange or otherwise transfer any of its interest in the Lease to which this Agreement applies, such
overproduced Party shall notify in writing the other Working Interest owners who are Parties hereto within forty-five (45) days
prior to closing the transaction. The notice provided by the overproduced Party shall set forth the most recent gas imbalance on
the property being assigned. Any underproduced Party may demand in writing within twenty (20) days after receipt of the overproduced
Party's notice: (i) a cash settlement attributed to such overproduction in the Lease or (ii) natural gas of like grade, quantity
and quality from another mutually agreeable source. Upon receiving such demand, the overproduced Party shall have sixty (60) days
to effect cash settlement or agree with the underproduced Party upon an alternate source of make-up gas. Any underproduced Party
electing to cash settle with the overproduced Party shall thereby indemnify and hold the overproduced Party harmless against any
causes of action, claims, losses or other actions which may be claimed by any third party.

 

The Operator shall be notified of any such
demand and of any cash settlement or agreement between the Parties hereto to make up gas in kind pursuant to this Section and the
gas balance accounts of the Parties shall be adjusted accordingly. Any cash settlement pursuant to this Section shall be on the
same basis as otherwise set forth in Section 7 above dealing with permanent cessation of production.

The provisions of this Section shall not
be applicable in the event an overproduced Party has disposed of its interest by transfer of its assets, in whole or in part, to
a subsidiary or parent company in which such parent or subsidiary owns a majority interest in such overproduced Party.

 

 

Page 44 of 45

    	78

    	 

    

12. This Agreement shall remain
in force and effect as long as the Joint Operating Agreement is in effect and thereafter until the gas balance accounts between
the Parties are settled in full and shall accrue to the benefit and be binding upon the Parties hereto, their successors, representatives,
and assigns.
