ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.
Lucas Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a press release on July 23, 2012, to announce that the Company has performed an internal review of its Eagle Ford oil and gas potential with the assistance of an independent petroleum engineering firm. As a result of the review, it is the opinion of the Company that total potential (proved, probable, and possible reserves) for the Eagle Ford properties exceed the 3.7 million proven bbls (barrels) of oil as determined by the Company’s independent petroleum engineers. The Company believes that the total potential oil, net to Lucas, may be closer to 14.5 million bbls of oil. This would indicate a PV10 present value of more than $275 million for the total potential for the Eagle Ford properties.
