Arabella continues in its focus on drilling and operating its wells in the

accessing and producing the high oil and liquids rich natural gas reserves in
the multiple stacked pays of the Wolfcamp and Bone Springs formations of the
Wolfbone Play.


Reserves Update

According to its third party reserve report as of December 31, 2013, the Company
had 2.1 million barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") in proved reserves, up from
19,100 BOE of proved reserves the year prior. Arabella's total PV10 of proved
reserves climbed to $32.8 million, as compared to $274,648 as of December 31,
2012. The PV10 of proved reserves for 2013 includes $4.5 million of proved
developed producing and $28.3 million of proved undeveloped. The Jackson #1H
well was classified as proved undeveloped as of the December 31, 2013 report,
but is now proved developed producing.


Drilling and Production Update

With the Jackson #1H coming off of flush production, the Company is currently
producing approximately 300 BOE/Day net to its interest. This amount is
non-inclusive of any production from the two recently drilled wells, the Emily
Bell #1H and the Woods #2H.


Graham #1H

The Company recently completed a rework of its Graham #1H well. With the well
now on gas lift, production has been steady for the last month at approximately
100-125 BOE/Day. Arabella has an approximately 15.6% working interest in this
well. 


Jackson #1H 

Production on the Jackson #1H commenced at the end of January 2014, with IP of
875 BOE/Day. This is Arabella's sixth well and the first on its Jackson tract,
where it holds an approximately 53% working interest. The well flowed back
naturally until mid-April, producing between 125 - 175 BOE/Day. On April 18,
2014 the well was placed on gas lift, raising production to approximately 150 -
250 BOE/Day.


Emily Bell #1H 

On February 24, 2014, the Company successfully drilled to the total depth of
14,917 feet on its Emily Bell #1H well. This is Arabella's seventh well and the
first on its Emily Bell tract, where it holds an approximately 52% working
interest. On May 11, 2014 the Company completed fracing the Emily Bell #1H and
flowback began on May 19, 2014. The Company expects to have meaningful
production results to report within the next two months.


Woods #2H 

The Company began operations on its Woods #2H well on March 5, 2014. This will
be Arabella's eighth well and its second on the Woods Lease, following its Woods
#1H which had a peak 24-hour IP of over 1,200 BOE/PD. The Company holds an
approximately 28.5% working interest in the Woods #2H well. On May 1, 2014 the
Company successfully drilled to the total depth of 14,896 on the Woods #2H.
Depending on scheduling, the Company expects to complete the well in
approximately 30 days.


Land Sales

On March 28, 2014 Arabella sold its gross 640, net 353, acres in Loving County
-- otherwise known as the Johnson 44 lease. This acreage was purchased at
$2,500/acre and was sold at $6,000/acre, grossing $2,119,200 with a net profit
of $1,236,200, or 61%, for the Company.


On April 23, 2014 Arabella sold its gross 640, net 313, acres in Pecos County --
otherwise known as the Weatherby lease. This acreage was purchased at
$1,500/acre and was sold at $2,250/acre grossing $704,250 with a net profit of
$234,750, or 33%, for the Company.


Both sales were completed to allow the company to focus on its more core
acreage. The Company continues to evaluate options with its less core acreage
that is not part of its planned drilling schedule, and may consider future sales
where the opportunity exists to net significant profits for the Company and
provide funds for its existing drill plan.
