Effective February 12, 2017, the Company acquired an additional 60% net working interest in the “Twin Lakes San Andres Unit” or “TLSAU” field located in Chaves County, New Mexico (the “Net Working Interest”) resulting from the execution of a Settlement Agreement on February 12, 2016.  The agreement assigned Dead Aim Investments’ (“Dead Aim”) 60% ownership interests to the Company.  Dead Aim assumed liability for the OPBE note that Petrolia purchased.  As a result of this transaction, Petrolia now owns 100% working interest in TLSAU.  Consideration of $465,788 was given in exchange for Dead Aim’s working interest.  The consideration includes the forgiveness of the Orbit Petroleum Inc Bankruptcy Estate (“OPBE”) note of $316,800 (with a $1.3 M face value) and the write off of $148,988 of outstanding accounts receivable to Petrolia.

On December 31, 2016 the Company signed an amendment with Rick Wilber concerning his outstanding convertible debt.  A clause in the amendment stated that if Mr. Wilber’s outstanding principal balance was not paid back by January 1, 2017 then he was due to receive warrants to purchase 80,000 shares of Company common stock for each month the balance remained outstanding.  The balance was not repaid during the first quarter of 2017.  Consequently, Mr. Wilber received warrants to purchase a total of 240,000 shares of common stock which were valued at $31,660, with an exercise price of $0.15 per share that expire five (5) years from their grant dates
