SCOPE OF REPORT



Authorization

This evaluation has been authorized by Mr. Darren Katic, on behalf of SCNRG LLC.   The engineering analysis has been performed during the months of October and November 2013.

Purpose

The purpose of this report was to prepare a third party independent appraisal of the oil reserves owned by SCNRG LLC for the Company's financial planning.

The values in this report do not include the value of the Company's undeveloped land holdings nor the tangible value of their interest in associated plant and well site facilities they may own.  The cash flow forecasts account for well and/or facility abandonment and reclamation costs and the offsetting salvage value of the tangible equipment after abandonment.

Reserve Definitions

Proved and probable reserves as classified in the report have been based on Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act:

Classification of Reserves

Proved Oil and Gas Reserves.
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
 
 
9

 
 
 
(i) 
The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:
 
(A)
The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and
 
(B)
Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

 
(ii)
In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

 
(iii)
Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

 
(iv)
Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:
 
(A)
Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and
 
(B)
The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

 
(v)
Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.
 
 
10

 
 
Probable Reserves
Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.

 
(i)
When deterministic methods are used, it is as likely as not that actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable reserves estimates.

 
(ii)
Probable reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to proved reserves where data control or interpretations of available data are less certain, even if the interpreted reservoir continuity of structure or productivity does not meet the reasonable certainty criterion. Probable reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

 
(iii)
Probable reserves estimates also include potential incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than assumed for proved reserves.

Possible Reserves
Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves.

 
(i)
When deterministic methods are used, the total quantities ultimately recovered from a project have a low probability of exceeding proved plus probable plus possible reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the total quantities ultimately recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates.

 
(ii)
Possible reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to probable reserves where data control and interpretations of available data are progressively less certain. Frequently, this will be in areas where geoscience and engineering data are unable to define clearly the area and vertical limits of commercial production from the reservoir by a defined project.
 
 
11

 
 
 
(iii)
Possible reserves also include incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than the recovery quantities assumed for probable reserves.

 
(iv)
The proved plus probable and proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates must be based on reasonable alternative technical and commercial interpretations within the reservoir or subject project that are clearly documented, including comparisons to results in successful similar projects.

 
(v)
Possible reserves may be assigned where geoscience and engineering data identify directly adjacent portions of a reservoir within the same accumulation that may be separated from proved areas by faults with displacement less than formation thickness or other geological discontinuities and that have not been penetrated by a wellbore, and the registrant believes that such adjacent portions are in communication with the known (proved) reservoir. Possible reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher or lower than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

 
(vi)
Pursuant to paragraph (a)(22)(iii) of this section, where direct observation has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves should be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir above the HKO only if the higher contact can be established with reasonable certainty through reliable technology. Portions of the reservoir that do not meet this reasonable certainty criterion may be assigned as probable and possible oil or gas based on reservoir fluid properties and pressure gradient interpretations.

 
Barrel of Oil Equivalent

If at any time in this report reference is made to “Barrels of Oil Equivalent” (BOE), the conversion used is 6 Mscf : 1 STB (6 Mcf : 1 bbl).

BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf : 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent value equivalency at the well head.

Sources of Information

Source of the data used in the preparation of this report are as follows:
 
i)
Ownership and Burdens have been derived from the Company's land records and other information from the Company as required for clarification
 
ii)
Production data is acquired from public data sources, except for very recent data or certain wells which are provided directly by the Company
 
iii)
Well data is accessed from the Company's well files and from public data sources
 
iv)
Operating Costs are based on actual revenue and expense statements provided by the Company for established properties or from discussions with the Company and our experience in the area for new properties
 
v)
Price differentials are derived from revenue statements, compared to actual posted prices for the appropriate benchmark price over a period of several months
 
vi)
Timing of Development Plans and Capital estimates are normally determined by discussions with the Company together with our experience and judgement

Product Prices

The price used for each area in this report, in accordance with SEC regulation S-X rule 4-10, was the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month, within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based on future conditions.

Adjustments for crude quality, gas heating value and NGL trucking and fractionation have still been applied to the average prices to reflect actual prices being received.  In addition, no escalation has been applied to either the capital expenditures or operating costs.

The average price shown in the cash flows may differ from year to year due to variations in the proportionate production volumes from each property relative to the total.

For the purpose of US Security Exchange Commission filing, the results of the Constant Prices and Cost case for proved and probable reserves are expressed in United States dollars are presented in the Summary of Reserves and Economics (SEC).

Product Sales Arrangements

The Company does not have any "hedge" contracts in place at this time.

Capital Expenditures and Operating Costs

Operating costs and capital expenditures have been based on historical experience and analogy where necessary and have not been escalated.

Income Tax Parameters

Net cash flows after consideration of corporate income tax have not been included in this report.

Abandonment and Restoration

Abandonment and restoration costs, net of salvage, have been included in the cash flows for the final event of any particular well.  The abandonment cost does not impact the economic limit and is included in the final year of production automatically by ERGO.  For marginal wells nearing the end of their economic life, these costs may result in a negative net present value.

In this report, we have account for these costs for only the wells which are being included and have not included other shut-in or suspended wells in the Company's inventory or their facilities and pipelines.

Economics

The results of the before tax economic analysis, which are presented for each entity and property summary, are in a condensed form presented on one page for simplicity in analyzing the cash flows, however, if for any reason more extensive breakdown of the cash flow is required, a separate schedule can be provided showing the full derivation and breakdown of any or all of the columns on the summary page.

The economic presentation shows the gross property and company gross and net (before and after royalty) production of oil gas and each NGL product along with the product prices adjusted for oil quality and heating value of gas.  Oil prices also include the deduction for trucking costs where applicable for royalty deductions.
 
 
14

 
 
The second level includes the revenues, royalties, operating costs, processing income, abandonment costs, capital and cash flow of the property.   Operating costs are presented for the gross property and the company share, split between variable and fixed costs, and the effective cost per BOE.

Net revenues are presented annually and as a net back in $/BOE @ 6 Mscf/STB.  Revenue from custom processing of oil or gas is presented separately.

The third level of data presents the cumulative cash flow values (present worth) for various discount rates. Also, the net cash flow breakdown is presented.  The project profitability criteria are summarized on the bottom right of the page.  These data are not relevant in the case of corporate evaluations but are useful in assessing individual capital projects.

Constant Price Parameters

The Constant Price values utilized in this report are the latest prices being received posted prices for oil by the Company.

Adjustments for crude quality, gas heating value and NGL trucking and fractionation have still been applied to the average prices to reflect actual prices being received.  In addition, no escalation has been applied to either the capital expenditures or operating costs.

In the Constant Price cash flows the magnitude of the gross and net reserves will not change except where production forecasts have been truncated or extended due to economic limits being reached earlier or later in the life of the properties than in the forecast price case, and due to the impact of royalties which are price related.

The average price shown in the cash flows may differ from year to year due to variations in the proportionate production volumes from each property relative to the total.

Ownership

The Company owns a 66.67 percent working interest in 40 acres of land containing three producing and three shut in heavy oil wells, as shown on the map, Figure 1.  Production is subject to a 20.9 percent freehold royalty.

A detailed description of the lands, interests and royalty burdens is presented in Table 1.

Geology

The San Joaquin Basin is a deep asymmetric synclinal downwarp that underlies the Central Valley of California. The basin is a prolific oil-producing area that originated in the Late Mesozoic. The Midway-Sunset Oil Field is located along the southwestern flank of the basin, as shown on the orientation map illustrated in Figure 1. It is the largest field in the southern portion of San Joaquin Basin and has produced over 2 billion barrels of oil.

There are two productive zones on the Company property. The Monarch Sand is a submarine fan sandstone of Miocene Age encapsulated within the Belridge Diatomite Member of the Monterey Formation. The Top Oil Sand is the basal unit of the San Joaquin Formation of Pliocene Age. Both these units are shown on the Table of Formations chart illustrated in Figure 2a.

The Monarch Sand is found at an average depth of 1600 feet on the Company property. It is a silty fine to very fine grained sandstone containing heavy oil within a stratigraphic-structural trap. A map of total net oil sand is illustrated in Figure 2b. The thickness is up to over 55 feet within an upper “A” and lower “B” sandstone unit.

An additional potential of this property is the Top Oil Sand is found at an average depth of 1400 feet on the Company property and is a fine to very fine grained sand with silt and shale inclusions, heavy oil is stratigraphically trapped within this unit which can be up to over 35 feet in thickness on the Company land, as shown on the isopach map illustrated in Figure 2c.

Reserves

Total gross remaining proved developed producing heavy oil reserves of 4 MSTB have been estimated for the Monarch and Top Oil zones in three producing wells based on decline analysis of their production performance.

Total proved undeveloped heavy oil reserves of 335 MSTB have been estimated for the same zones in twelve future locations in anticipation of steam assisted recovery based on geological mapping and reservoir parameters derived from log analysis, and analogy to successful steam scheme recoveries in immediate vicinity of the lands.

Incremental probable producing reserves of 2 MSTB have been assigned to the five producing wells in anticipation of a better performance than in the proved case.

Incremental probable undeveloped reserves of 167 MSTB have been assigned to the same twelve locations in anticipation of a better recovery than in the proved case.

A summary of reserves is presented in Table 2, and the reserves and reservoir parameters are presented in table 2a.

Production

Production from the area currently averages 4 STB/d and is expected to gradually decline to economic limits.

The non-producing probable reserves are expected to commence production in 2014 on a steam cycling scheme, i.e. super heated steam injection into two diagonally opposed wells (A locations) for a month, then producing them while injecting steam into B locations.  This would be an alternating scheme on one month cycles, so at any given time, six wells would be producing.  The wells are expected to commence production at initial rates of 8 STB/d per well, peak at 15 STB/d per well in 2015, then commence a gradual decline.

In the proved plus probable scenario, all those rates are expected to be 50 percent higher.

A production history graph is shown on Figure 3a for the proved case and Figure 3b for the proved plus probable case.
 
 
20

 
 
Product Prices

An average 2013 price of $95.07/STB of heavy oil has been utilized based on production and revenue statements provided by the Company. The Company receives a price that is $0.52 cents premium relative to the SEC price of $94.55.

Capital Expenditures

Total development expenditures of $5,240,000 (3,494,000 net the Company) have been anticipated for this project as detailed in Table 3a.

Total abandonment and restoration liabilities of $300,000 ($200,000 net to the Company) have been anticipated for this project as detailed in Table 3b.

Operating Costs

Operating costs of $1,500 per producing well per month as well as $7.00 per STB  and $3,000 per future wells per month plus $20.00/STB, which includes the cost of steam generation, have been estimated based on production and revenue statements provided by the Company.

Economics

An economic summary is presented in Table 4, and the results of our economic analysis are presented in Table 4a through 4f.

The Company’s total historical production together with our proved producing and proved plus probable forecast is presented on Figure 4.

5.
Withthe possible exception of items of an immaterial nature, we confirm the following as of the effective date of the evaluation:
 
 
For all operated properties that you have evaluated, no changes have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur to the operating conditions or methods that have been used by our Company over the past twelve (12) months, except as disclosed to you.  In the case of non-operated properties, we have advised you of any such changes of which we have been made aware.
 
• 
All regulatory, permits, and licenses required to allow continuity of future operations and production from the evaluated properties are in place and, except as disclosed to you, there are no directives, orders, penalties, or regulatory rulings in effect or expected to come into effect relating to the evaluated properties.
 
• 
Except as disclosed to you, the producing trend and status of each evaluated well or entity in effect throughout the three-month period preceding the effective date of the evaluation are consistent with those that existed for the same well or entity immediately prior to this three month period.
 
• 
Except as disclosed to you, we have no plans or intentions related to the ownership, development or operation of the evaluated properties that could reasonably be expected to materially affect the production levels or recovery of reserves from the evaluated properties.
 
If material changes of an adverse nature occur in the Company's operating performance subsequent to the effective date and prior to the report date, we will inform you of such material changes prior to requesting your approval for any public disclosure of reserves information.

 
6. 
We hereby confirm that our Company is in material compliance with all Environmental Laws and does not have any Environmental Claims pending.
 
Between the effective date of the report and the date of this letter, nothing has come to our attention that has materially affected or could affect our reserves and economic value of these reserves that has not been disclosed to you.
 

Yours very truly,
