Petrolia Energy Corporation
Best Efforts, No Minimum Offering
Private Offering to Accredited Investors of
Series A Convertible 9% Preferred Stock
April 11, 2017
Houston, Texas

The following information is provided to you as an accredited investor who has indicated an interest in investing in these securities. The Officers and Directors of Petrolia Energy Corporation (the “Company” or “Petrolia”) are available to answer questions and provide additional information you may request.

The Company operates and owns a 100% Working Interest in three (3) oil fields located across three States: 1) a 660 acre lease in Milam County, Texas (the Noack Oil Lease); 2) a 4,800 acre lease in Chaves County, New Mexico (Twin Lakes San Andres Lease or TLSAU); and 3) a 2,600 acre lease in Creek County, Oklahoma (Slick Unit Dutcher Sands or SUDS). In the past 24 months, Petrolia’s proven oil reserves have grown from approximately 200,000 barrels of proven 1P oil reserves to an estimated 4 million barrels of proven 1P oil reserves from these oil leases combined (ref. 2015 Independent Year-End Reserve Report).

As Petrolia now officially owns a 100% Working Interest in each of the 3 leases, we are ready to execute a production development plan at the field level for each lease. Such plans are available for review at Petrolia’s Headquarters upon request and subject to potential investors entering into customary non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements. In addition, Management has been working diligently on another strategic acquisition in California which, if successfully closed, will allow the Company to operate in California.

Funds from this offering are planned to be used to:

a) The Development Plan for TLSAU requires $500,000 to workover 28 wells and initiate a waterflood in certain areas of the field. Target production is 150 BOPD upon completion of this phase.

b) The Development Plan for SUDS requires $500,000 to drill 2 vertical infill wells and workover 26 current wells. Target production is 150 BOPD upon completion of this phase.

c) The Development Plan for the Noack Oil Lease requires $100,000 to drill 1 vertical infill well and workover the 14 existing wells. Target production upon completion of this phase is 50 BOPD.

d) Reduce outstanding liabilities and provide working capital. Approximately $900,000.

Piggyback Registration Rights:
The Company covenants and agrees that if, at any time prior to the Registration Rights Expiration Date (defined below), it proposes to file a registration statement with respect to any class of equity or equity-related securities (other than in connection with an offering to the Company’s employees or in connection with an acquisition, merger or similar transaction) under the Securities Act in a primary registration on behalf of the Company and/or in a secondary registration on behalf of holders of such securities, and the registration form to be used may be used for the issuance or resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”), the Company will either include the Registrable Securities in such registration statement or give prompt written notice to the holders of its intention to file such registration statement and will offer to include in such registration statement, such number of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) days after the giving of notice by the Company (the “Piggyback Registration Rights”). The holders shall also be required to provide the Company customary and reasonable representations and confirmations regarding the Registrable Securities held by the holders, information relating to the beneficial ownership of other securities of the Company held by such holders, information regarding the persons with voting and dispositive control over the holder and such other information as the Company or its legal counsel may reasonably request. The Company shall not be required to include Registrable Securities in a registration statement relating solely to an offering by the Company of securities for its own account if the managing underwriter or placement agent shall have advised the Company in writing that the inclusion of such securities will have a material adverse effect upon the ability of the Company to sell securities for its own account, and provided further that the holders are not treated less favorably than others seeking to have their securities included in such registration statement. Notwithstanding the obligations set forth above, if any Securities and Exchange Commission guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of securities permitted to be registered on a particular registration statement as a secondary offering, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such registration statement will be reduced pro rata between the holders (or other parties) whose securities are included in such registration statement. The “Registration Rights Expiration Date” is the earlier of (a) two years from the closing date; and (b) the date that the investors are eligible to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144.

The Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall also limit the voting rights of any holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation may be waived by any holder with 61 days prior written notice to the Company.
   
Recapitalizations:
If at any time while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, there shall occur any capital reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, share exchange, restructuring, consolidation, combination or merger (subject to certain standard exceptions) involving the Company in which the Common Stock (but not the Series A Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) of the Company or otherwise, a provision shall be made so that each Series A Preferred Stock holder will be entitled to receive upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash or any combination thereof) of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder holding the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Series A Preferred Stock holder are convertible immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled upon such event.

Risk factors

The Company has filed various reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission that are available online at www.sec.gov for any potential investor to read that discloses substantial risk factors involved with the Company and any security it may issue.

All potential investors are encouraged to read the reports and risk factors and ask any questions that may arise.

Operating plan

As disclosed in the Report described above, the Company owns and operates three fields in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. These fields encompass 8,060 acres and have 190 existing drilled wells (both producing wells and disposal wells) in place with all necessary infrastructure including gathering lines and holding tanks. The development plan for all 3 oil leases is to drill new wells and workover the old wells with the combination of new production technology available at low cost with sustained production above 500 BOPD which the Company believes will be sufficient for the Company to be self-sustaining moving forward. As disclosed, the Company plans on using some of the proceeds of this offering to acquire a 65% working interest in the Midway-Sunset leases in Kern County, California. This is a strategic area and Petrolia’s management is experienced in operating in this area with 13 years of successful operating history.

The Company plans on up-listing its shares of common stock which are currently being traded on the OTCQB market to the OTCQX market during the second quarter of 2017, provided that the Company meets the requirements to up list. With a firm footing established, the Company intends to raise additional capital through future offerings and financings, to take advantage of the current low entry point in the market. By avoiding the pitfalls of overleveraging and utilizing the skills evidenced by the management team, led by Zel C. Khan, the Company believes it can successfully build significant shareholder value. The management team has prepared financial forecasts relating to the three fields currently being operated and the field being acquired. These forecasts are available for inspection as are all the geological reports and related information upon execution of a confidentiality agreement.
