RANGO ENERGY is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, exploitation, development, and production of crude oil and natural gas in the United States. We are actively pursuing a strategy of partnering with land and leasehold owners to earn a working interest in projects with sound geology, proven success, and near existing infrastructure to reduce the capital risk associated with oil and gas exploration. CENTRAL CALIFORNIA Recently we signed a Definitive Agreement with Hangtown Energy Inc., based in Carson City, Nevada for a working interest on a total of over 12,000 acres located within three separate oil projects in Central and Southern California. The three Project Areas are the: Kettleman Middle Dome (KMD), the Elk Hills projects located just off Interstate 5 Freeway in the San Joaquin Valley, and the South Tapo Canyon project located closer to Los Angeles in Simi Valley. All three project areas are located within producing oil fields. Rango will provide 100% of the development costs for an initial program of 2 wells per project area, and will receive 100% of the production cash flow from Hangtowns interest until payback is achieved. After payback, Rango’s working interest will revert to 75% of Hangtowns interest for the life of the 6 wells. Further to the initial development program Rango and Hangtown Energy will continue to drill and develop the Project areas jointly to maximize production at each site.

Two of the Project areas, the Kettleman Middle Dome (KMD) and The Elk Hills projects are located in Kern and Kings Counties, north of Bakersfield, just west of Interstate 5 Freeway. Both of these project sites are located Within areas of known very productive hydrocarbon systems. Nearby production from related fields Are presented in:

The KMD Project at over 11,000 acres is the largest of the 3 projects and has the greatest revenue potential. The KMD is part of, and lays in the middle of a northwest trending anticlinal structure that is a known hydrocarbon trap. To date, nearly a Billion Barrels of Oil and 3 Trillion cubic feet of gas have been produced from the North dome and the South Dome (known as Lost Hills) combined. Our main target within the KMD lease area is the >1,000 foot thick oil rich McAdams sandstone formation. Hundreds of such wells producing from the McAdams formation in the North Dome area averaged approximately 2.5 Million Barrels of Oil Equivalent (MMBOE) per well. We anticipate similar per well productivity within the McAdams wells at the KMD

In addition to the prolific McAdams Sandstone formation the KMD lease area hosts several shallower oil rich formations which are the source of production at the South Dome.

Presently nearly 2,600 acres of Monterey Shale formation have been outlined at the KMD site. The Monterey Shale is now the subject of much attention within California which is predicting a huge oil boom from production from this formation. At the KMD area the Monterey is over 2,000 ft. thick with oil Shows throughout. Other important oil rich formations include the Vaqueros sandstones and the Kreyenhagen Shale. .

• Elk Hills is one of the largest Oil and Gas producing surface anticlines in North America. • More than 1.3 Billion barrels of Oil were produced in wells adjacent to the project area.

Occidental Petroleum implemented a massive gas injection program west of the lease hold. The gas expansion and gravity drainage has driven the oil into the project area. Recent wells drilled in similar ‘down dip’ locations averaged approximately 185,000 barrels per well with one well reporting 900,000 barrels. This is an excellent opportunity to Develop significant reserves at low cost.

• South Tapo Canyon is located closer Los Angeles in Simi Valley

• The Project is a 800 acre leasehold in a producing area that has seen significant production since before 1920.

The main reservoir of the field is the Sespe sandstone at 6,000 ft deep which hasn not been drilled on the leasehold. There are also additional oil zones, one at 2,500 ft where an estimated 500K barrels can be recovered from 3 wells and a very shallow 500 ft thick oil zone which may hold up to 25 million barrels.

California Project Summary

Rango will receive 100% of Hangtowns working interest in the production of the 6 Wells completed in the Initial Program, after all drilling costs are recovered, our working interest will revert to 75% of the cash flow for the life of the wells based of Hangtowns interest. After the Initial Program, additional wells are to be drilled on a shared cost basis with Innex, the leaseholder and the Hangtown-Rango Joint Venture. Our working interest will be 50% of the Hangtown-Rango Joint Venture. Rango has the right to participate in 3 additional wells at both Elk Hills and South Tapo, as well Rango has maintained the right to participate in ALL additional wells at the Kettleman Middle Dome Project.

Summary

Rango is involved in several high quality projects within California. Our main area, the KMD project, is directly within a billion barrel field with numerous oil bearing formations. We are expecting high IP rates within the McAdams sandstone >3,000 BPD. We are 30 to 40 days from potential production and foresee excellent cash flow. Blue Sky on the KMD area is 250 MMBOE recoverable.
