Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


On January 22, 2013, Prairie West Oil & Gas, Ltd. (Nevada) (“Prairie Nevada”) entered into an exchange agreement to purchase 100% of the outstanding interests of Prairie West Oil & Gas, Ltd. (Canada)(“Prairie Canada”) in exchange for 5,000,000 common shares of Prairie Nevada stock.  Prairie Canada  is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prairie Nevada and Prairie Nevada has acquired the business and operations of Prairie Canada. The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and conditions.  The Exchange Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.  


Prairie West Oil & Gas is a producing energy company with both established production and assets within the center of Canada's highest reserve epicenters; the oil boom provinces of Alberta and now Saskatchewan.  The company believes that present conditions have never been better for a swift and innovative company such as Prairie West to thrive in today’s energy market.


By continuously adding value through low risk acquisition / development of both mature and immature properties, Prairie is setting the stage for long term growth while remaining focused on short term profitability and increasing net asset value.


Prairie operates under the notion that phase changes in commodity price cycles require different strategies and will identify opportunities for growth regardless of phase.  By utilizing a multi-discipline approach, the company has and will continue to unlock the upside potential of acquired properties leading to increased production and incremental reserves.


The experienced team at Prairie West has the expertise and proven execution required for success in today's rapidly changing energy sector. This has been clearly demonstrated with the Maidstone acquisition, the more recent eleven well expansion located in close proximity to current production and a new 27 well producing gas play in Saskatchewan Canada.


The company is currently focused on three projects:


1) The Maidstone Project (Heavy Oil - Producing)


2) The Shackleton Project (Natural Gas - Producing)


3) The Twinning Project (Light Sweet Crude - Drilling completed August 1, 2012, currently working towards well completion.


An independent asset, reserve and resource evaluation (NI 51-101) done by Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd that has valued Prairie West's assets at $22,957,000 (CDN) undiscounted. This report conforms to industry standard and is an accepted primary means of asset evaluation.


Objectives


1) Develop to full potential through lower risk 'developmental drilling' the company's current long term developmental project which is strategically placed within the highly productive Twining area (Section 17-31-23W4.) and surrounded by major multinational oil / gas giants.


2) Acquire oil and gas producing properties that have proven reserves and established in-field drilling locations through a combination of cash, debt, and equity.  Positive metrics and the ability to enhance for maximum production efficiency is key. In addition, there must be the opportunity to streamline operational costs and administration  overhead with the goal maximizing profits.


3) Add value and reserves through the identification of plays and prospects which demonstrate attractive metrics and a high chance of success.


4) Focus operational efforts around today's technological advancements so that the company can effectively maximize return on capital invested by reducing drilling risk and enhancing ability to cost effectively grow reserves and production volumes.


5) Keep operational costs to the lowest possible levels through a streamlined operational and management process.  


6) Continue to practice strict fiscal discipline as 'Team Prairie West' is experienced enough to know that a large debt load can easily be the end of junior energy corporation. Prairie West has been able to accomplish all it has done to date with "Zero bank or institutional financing".


7) Continue to have strong due diligence control mechanisms in place in regards to potential acquisitions.


8) Continue to mitigate risk through diversification and expertise.



2





9) Successfully raise capital through the public markets to further finance company goals and objectives.


10) Remain fully transparent to shareholders through open communication, regular updates and filings.


The company is currently focused on three projects:


1) The Maidstone Project (Heavy Oil - Producing)


2) The Shackleton Project (Natural Gas - Producing)


3) The Twinning Project (Light Sweet Crude)


Twinning, Alberta, CAN

Type of project: Light Sweet Crude
Status: Working Towards well completion


Number of wells: 2

“The Twinning project is becoming a more valuable asset every day as other companies continue to have great success in the area and prices continue to skyrocket as a result.”


- Prairie West President :Anthony Sarvucci


KEY POINTS:


Located in East-Central Alberta Canada within the prolific Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, Prairie West 's developmental project is strategically placed within the highly productive Twining area (Section 17-31-23W4.) and surrounded by major multinational oil / gas giants.


Prairie's property is immediately adjacent to the enormous Twining Rundle/Mannville Pool with Original Oil In Place of 1.013 billion barrels equivalent.

 

Prairie has identified a prospect in the prolific Devonian Nisku carbonate, with pool analogues in the immediate area having oil reserves approaching 60 mmbbls (OOIP).

 

Detailed geological and geophysical mapping of the Nisku reservoir under Prairie West 's land, demonstrates a potential accumulation of almost 300 acres, with a potential mean resource of 2.4 million barrels(OOIP). P10 resource however is closer to 4.0 mmbbls.

 

Proximal Nisku pools tend to be in the 40-42 API crude, and therefore receive some of the best netbacks in the basin. With success on Prairie's first well, an aggressive 40 acre pool development will be implemented, with the goal being to grow the property to the 1000 BOPD range within the first 2 to 3 years. Horizontal well application and selective acid fracture stimulation will also be evaluated which would ultimately increase productivity and recovery of the pool's reserves.


An engineering study of this prospect by Canadian Petroleum Engineering, Inc. found that at the then current price of a barrel of oil at $50 a barrel, that the prospect was a viable drilling target. With the recent uptick in oil prices the potential of this project for Prairie and its shareholders is huge.


The first well was successfully drilled on August 1st, 2012. Multiple zones that have tested positive and the company is presently working towards completing the wells to producing status.


Maidstone


Location:  Maidstone, Saskatchewan, CAN

Type of project:  Heavy Oil

Status:  Producing

Number of wells: 12


KEY POINTS:


The Maidstone Project currently has production online and consists of eleven heavy oil wells plus one licensed horizontal water disposal well.



3





The economics of the most recent acquisition / expansion made perfect sense as management knows the area extremely well, had an existing footprint in close proximity and has rock solid relationships already in place. From an operational standpoint this translates into lower operating costs, the ability to act swiftly and higher profits.


Prairie West's operator David Forest is a heavy oil specialist and efficiency expert who in the past was able to take a company's production from 135 barrels a day to 800 barrels a day without drilling a well. This is important to note because a comprehensive nine well Maidstone work over program is in the works that is designed to utilize the latest technology to both maximize the output and efficiency of Prairie West's latest heavy oil play.


The licensed horizontal disposal well located within Prairie's Maidstone project is an excellent revenue source as most wells in the area make water and are required by law to dispose of it in a licensed water disposal unit. Not only does this well have the capacity to handle all of Prairie West's disposal needs but it is also fully equipped to act as a disposal solution for other companies in the area.


The desirability of investing in oil in Saskatchewan continues to get better all the time. The support for the industry starts at the premier level and is mirrored through all levels of government. This has resulted in a very favorable business climate in terms of simplified regulation and economic terms. The province has huge heavy oil resources, very good producing infrastructure and a highly skilled work force. For these reasons at this time Prairie West can think of no better place to do business and will be actively looking to further expand in this geographical area.


Shackleton


Location:  Shackleton, Saskatchewan, CAN

Type of project:  Natural Gas

Status:  Scheduled shut in for maintenance

Number of wells:  27


KEY POINTS:


The Shackleton project consists of a 99% interest in 27 wells situated on 15 sections (9600 Acres) of oil and gas property located in the prolific Shackleton area within an energy rich area of the Western Canadian Sedimentary basin.

 

The company is currently performing a strategic in-depth geological analysis for the full 9600 acres and has already identified multiple drilling targets that have a high probability of carrying a low risk, high reward profile.

 

From a viability standpoint, this project for Prairie West remains viable and profitable at current natural gas prices due to Prairie West's low operating costs in the area. If natural gas turns bullish as a result of new 'Fracking' regulations, the company has positioned itself for accelerated profits moving forward.

 

It is important to note that the recent additional 49% ownership increase in the Shackleton project has increased Prairie West's assets past the $22,957,000 (undiscounted) number contained in the NI 51-101 as the report was created before the acquisition took place.


At the end of May 2012, Prairie West began its scheduled summer overhaul of the company's Shackleton natural gas asset. The entire project is being revamped with the goal of producing higher revenues in the fall season through greater efficiency, lower operating costs and traditionally higher fall natural gas prices.

Note 1. The Business


Prairie West Oil & Gas is a producing energy company with both established production and assets within the center of Canada's highest reserve epicenters; the oil boom provinces of Alberta and now Saskatchewan.

  

The company is currently focused on three projects:


1) The Maidstone Project (Heavy Oil - Producing)


2) The Shackleton Project (Natural Gas - Producing)


3) The Twinning Project (Light Sweet Crude - Drilling completed August 1, 2012, currently working towards well completion.


An independent asset, reserve and resource evaluation (NI 51-101) done by Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd that has valued Prairie West's assets at $22,957,000 (CDN) undiscounted. This report conforms to industry standard and is an accepted primary means of asset evaluation.


The Company is engaged in two joint ventures. They are as follows:


1) Shackleton-ie (aka Sand box Energy Corp.) ownership of 99% by the Company.


2) Maidstone-( aka Western Plains Ltd.) ownership of 36% by the Company.


Derivatives


The Company did not engage nor does it have any contingent exposure or resultant liability for any contract associated with derivative (s).


Note 2. Going Concern


These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  However, we have incurred net losses of ( $715,000 ) since inception and ($370,332 ) for the year ended December 31, 2011.  We have remained in business primarily through private placement capital $ raise; loans and investments from related parties.  We intend on financing our future development activities from the same sources, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.


These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.


Note 3-Foreign Currency- translation


The functional currency is United States Dollars.  The Company’s books and records are kept Canadian dollars.  All profit and loss items are converted to U.S. dollars at the average conversion for the year.  All balance sheet items are converted usually at historical rates.


Note 4-Oil and natural gas properties


The Company accounts for its oil and natural gas properties using the successful efforts method of accounting.  Under this method, all costs associated with property acquisitions, all development wells, and asset retirement obligation assets are capitalized.  Additionally, interest is capitalized while wells are drilled and the underlying property is in development.  Costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination of whether each well has resulted in the discovery of proved reserves.  Oil and natural gas mineral leasehold costs are capitalized as incurred.  Items charged to expense generally include geological and geophysical costs, costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells, and oil and natural gas production costs.  Capitalized costs of proved properties including associated salvage are depleted on a well-by-well or field-by-field (common reservoir) basis using the units-of –production method based upon proved producing oil and natural gas reserves.  The depletion rate is the current period production as a percentage of the total proved producing reserves.  The depletion rate is applied to the net book value of property costs to calculate the depletion expense.  Proved reserves materially impact depletion expense.  If the proved reserves decline, then the depletion rate (the rate at which we record depletion expense) increases, reducing net income.  Dispositions of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs with gain or loss recognized upon sale.  A gain (loss) is recognized to the extent the sales price exceeds or is less than original cost or the carrying value, net of impairment.  Oil and natural gas properties are also subject to impairment at the end of each reporting period.  Unproved property costs are excluded from depletable costs until the related properties are developed.



10





Subsequent Event- Stock split-


A 10 for 1 stock split was affected in August 2012.  All shares and per share calculations have reflected this split.


Corporate Income Taxes-


The Company’s operations are to a large extent domiciled in Canada.  The Company has not filed Canadian tax returns for 2009 –inception, 2010 and 2011.  If the Company was filing in United States it would have net operating loss carry-forwards to the extent or ranging to approximately $700,000 less any foreign tax credit for taxes paid to Canadian authorities.  Under United States generally accepted accounting principles, it would be uncertain if the Company would have taxable income in the future so a valuation allowance would be recorded to the extent of any and all operating loss carry-forwards.  Within the United States loss carry-forwards expire 20 years after each year’s incurrence.  


Note 5-Reclamation and Remediation Costs (Asset retirement Obligations)


We accrue costs associated with environmental remediation obligations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 410, “Asset retirement and Environmental Obligations.”  ASC No. 410 requires us to record a liability for the present value of our estimated environmental remediation costs, and the related asset created with it, in the period in which the liability is incurred.  The liability will be accreted and the asset will be depreciated over the life of the related assets.  Adjustments for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate underlying the obligation will be made.


Future closure, reclamation and environmental-related expenditures are difficult to estimate, in many circumstances due to the early stage nature of investigations, and uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental contamination and the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities and changes in reclamation or remediation technology.  We periodically review accrued liabilities for such reclamation and remediation costs as evidence becomes available indicating that our liabilities have potentially changed.  Changes in estimates at our non-operating properties are reflected in current period net income (loss).  We had no accruals for closure costs, reclamation and environmental matters for operating and non-operating properties at December 31, 2011.



Note 6-Notes payable consists of the following at December 31, 2011:


Johann Lisson-$50,000 due; date of note 08/05/2011 accrued interest $2027.00; at a 10% interest..maturity date 01/31/2013.


The Emporium Group S.A.-original amount due $1,000,000; date of loan 7/27/2010; outstanding as of 12/31/2011 $792,116; interest rate of 10% ; maturity date 12/31/2012; accrued interest $54,379.


Related Party –wife of president and CEO –amount(s) –non-interest bearing loan of $10,000 due upon demand; and $12,134; at an interest rate of 10%; accrued interest is $1,294.


Father-in law of president and CEO-amount $153,938 at an interest rate of 10% due upon demand; accrued interest $5,824.


Loan from CEO and president-$65,019 at a 10% interest rate due upon demand..accrued interest of $9,758.


Note 7-Subsequent Event-(unaudited)—Subsequent to the end of the year $  1,118,878 of debt was converted into shares of common stock of the Company.  This will result in a gain of $  555,605  that will be recognized in the first half of 2012.
