Market Statistics: (1) Symbol: NYSE MKT: CEI Stock Price: $0.79 Trading Range: $0.72 – $7.98 (52 - Week) Market Cap: $15.5MM Daily Volume: 771,548 (Average 3 mo) Company Profile Camber Energy (formerly Lucas Energy) is a recently restructured, publicly - traded oil and gas exploration and production company . From its roots in the accumulation of Austin Chalk production in South Texas to its acquisition of 1 , 000 + Boe/day of production in Oklahoma’s liquid’s rich Hunton formation which led to our recent entry in the emerging horizontal San Andres play on the Permian Basin’s Central Basin Platform, Camber is committed to building shareholder value via asset field re - development & exploitation, drilling & development and more asset acquisitions . We are positioned for high - growth trajectory following the prolonged industry downturn that began in late 2014 . 3 Central Oklahoma Hunton South Texas Austin Chalk - Eagle Ford West Texas Permian Basin San Andres, Cline & Wolfberry (1) As of 2/3/2017

Building on the Platform Platform for Growth | The formation of Camber with a NYSE MKT listing and combination of operational, management, financial and restructuring wisdom have come together at this pivotal time to provide the right platform for substantial growth opportunities . We are expanding our platform and drilling inventory with an aggressive move into the Permian Basin . Transaction Flexibility | Camber can acquire assets using less cash by utilizing more structured transactions such as earn - outs, conditional option payments ; convertible debt and other structures in order to capitalize the growth initiative . Optimization Upside | The Camber team is not only experienced in the operation of various properties including that of significant water distribution and disposal, but also in the management and financial restructuring of troubled properties and entities . This group has the cumulative wisdom through those experiences to manage more efficiently, both operationally and fiscally . 10 Optimize Upside (Execution) Transaction Flexibility (Capitalization) Platform for Growth (Production, Drilling Inventory & Team)

Camber will transfer its twenty - plus year evolution and knowledge of the Hunton development & production techniques to the San Andres formation where the Company recently acquired and expects to grow its initial 3,600 - acre position.

Horizontal San Andres - The ROZ Concept 19 National Energy Technology Laboratory Additional Information: residualoilzones.com Melzer Consulting As a simplified explanation, dewatering occurs in formations with relatively high water saturations (> 50 % . ) Oil and gas resides in pore spaces of conventional subsurface rock formations and is held in place by the pressurized water . By producing the water (dewatering), the pressure holding the hydrocarbon in place is lowered, the hydro carbon expands, and transitions from a residual state to a mobile state, allowing for commercial production . This concept is now used in the Mid - Continent to produce large quantities of oil and gas from the Hunton formation, and has recently been applied with increasing success to the San Andres formation in West Texas .
