Description of Business
Oil and Natural Gas Leases, page 30

2.       You state that you "anticipate the typical oil and natural gas lease
agreement covering
         [your] properties will provide for the payment of royalties" that
"will range from 20% to
         25%, resulting in a net revenue interest to [you] generally ranging
from 75% to 80%."
         Given that you have a limited operating history, no lease agreements
in place and no
         historical financial information, please explain the assumptions used
to support the
         projections and how you determined that you have a reasonable basis to
provide these
         projections. Refer to Item 10(b) of Regulation S-K.
Directors, Executive Officers, Promoter and Control Persons, page 39

3.       We note your disclosure on the cover page and throughout the
registration statement that
         Mr. Franklin Ogele serves as the President of the Company. However, on
pages 39 and
         40, you identify Mr. Arne Greaves as President. Please revise your

         the roles served by each executive officer.

         Mr. Franklin Ogele as an exhibit to the registration statement in

the offering.
         However, you also state on page 3 that you "estimate the commission to
broker-dealers
         will be about 10% of the gross offering" and your offering table on
page 4 and use of
         proceeds table on page 21 contemplate underwriting discounts and

the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.
