This Schedule 13D is being filed by Oak Valley Resources, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Oak Valley” or the “Reporting Person”). The address of the principal office of Oak Valley is 110 Cypress Station Drive, Suite 220, Houston, Texas 77090.

The name and principal occupation of the directors and executive officers of Oak Valley as of the date hereof are set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference. Schedule A attached hereto sets forth the following information as to each such person:

During the last five years, to the best of the Reporting Person’s knowledge, no person named on Schedule A attached hereto, has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

See Item 4 below.

The Stockholder entered into the Voting Agreement as a material condition and inducement to the willingness of Oak Valley to enter into the Exchange Agreement (as such term is defined below). The shares of Common Stock to which this Schedule 13D relates have not been purchased by Oak Valley and no funds were expended in connection with the execution of the Voting Agreement.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Exchange Agreement

On May 15, 2014, Oak Valley entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Earthstone, pursuant to which, among other things, Oak Valley will contribute to Earthstone the membership interests of its three subsidiaries, Oak Valley Operating, LLC, EF Non-Op, LLC and Sabine River Energy, LLC, each a Texas limited liability company, inclusive of producing assets, undeveloped acreage and an estimated $138 million of cash, in exchange for the issuance of approximately 9.1 million shares of Common Stock, to Oak Valley (the “Exchange”). Following the Exchange, current Earthstone stockholders will own 16% of Earthstone’s outstanding Common Stock and Oak Valley will own 84% of Earthstone’s outstanding Common Stock.

The respective boards of directors of Oak Valley and Earthstone have determined that the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of their respective owners, and have unanimously approved the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement are subject to approval of Earthstone’s stockholders at a special stockholders’ meeting to be called and held by Earthstone, and other closing conditions.

At the closing of the Exchange, which is subject to the approval of the Earthstone stockholders, Oak Valley’s management team, including President and Chief Executive Officer Frank A. Lodzinski, will assume the same roles in Earthstone. Mr. Lodzinski will also be a director of the combined company. Ray Singleton, Earthstone’s current President and Chief Executive Officer, will continue to serve in a senior executive position and as a director of Earthstone. All of the other board positions of Earthstone will be filled by Oak Valley.

At the closing of the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement requires that Earthstone enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with Oak Valley pursuant to which Earthstone will agree to register the shares of Common Stock to be issued to Oak Valley with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

The Exchange Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Oak Valley and Earthstone, including, among other things, if the Exchange is not consummated on or before November 30, 2014, and further provides that, upon termination of the Exchange Agreement under certain circumstances, Earthstone may be obligated to pay Oak Valley a termination fee of $1 million.

Voting Agreement

Concurrent with, and in order to induce Oak Valley to enter into the Exchange Agreement, Oak Valley entered into a Voting Agreement dated as of May 15, 2014, with Ray Singleton (the “Stockholder”), Chairman of the Board of Directors of Earthstone, President and Chief Executive Officer, and significant stockholder in Earthstone (the “Voting Agreement”), with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock that are currently or will be beneficially owned by the Stockholder (“Voting Agreement Shares”). During the term of the Voting Agreement, the Stockholder has agreed, among other things, to (1) vote all Voting Agreement Shares in favor of the approval of the Exchange, the approval and adoption of the Exchange Agreement and the approval of any other transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement; (2) subject to certain exceptions, not sell or transfer the Voting Agreement Shares until the Voting Agreement terminates; and (3) not enter into any other voting arrangement with respect to the Voting Agreement Shares or take any other action that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of his obligations under the Voting Agreement. The Voting Agreement terminates (a) at the closing of the Exchange or (b) if the Exchange Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. The Voting Agreement also includes the grant by the Stockholder of an irrevocable proxy to Frank A. Lodzinski, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oak Valley (and any other individual who may be designated by Oak Valley) to vote and exercise all voting rights with respect to the matters described above.

The foregoing descriptions of the Exchange Agreement and the Voting Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Exchange Agreement and the Voting Agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) and (b) The response of Oak Valley to rows (7) through (13) of the cover page of this Schedule 13D are referenced herein. As of the date hereof, Oak Valley does not own any shares of Common Stock. For purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Oak Valley may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 453,360 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Voting Agreement. Pursuant to the obligations of the Stockholder under the Voting Agreement, Oak Valley may be deemed to have shared power to vote up to an aggregate of 453,360 shares of Common Stock, in favor of the approval of the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby, and thus, for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, Oak Valley may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 453,360 shares of Common Stock. The Voting Agreement Shares represent approximately 26.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as reported by Earthstone in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on February 13, 2014.

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by Oak Valley that it is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

(c) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D with reference to the Exchange Agreement and the Voting Agreement, none of Oak Valley or, to its knowledge, any of its directors or executive officers named on Schedule A attached hereto, has effected any transaction in the shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d) Oak Valley has no right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Voting Agreement Shares.

(e) Not Applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Other than as described in this Schedule 13D and in the agreements and documents attached as exhibits hereto or incorporated herein by reference, to the knowledge of Oak Valley, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 or between such persons and any other person with respect to any securities of Earthstone, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, the existence of which would give another person voting or investment power over the securities of Earthstone.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
