The acquired properties consist of 4,854 gross (4,788 net) acres and include a 100% working interest and a 75% net revenue interest. Consideration given by the Company consisted of 2,623,948 shares valued at $5.80 per share for an aggregate value of $11,204,258 and liabilities assumed of $2,571,549. The Company incurred approximately $23,321 in acquisition related costs, which were recognized in general and administrative expense during the year ended December 31, 2018.
