In August, Lucas Energy announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, CATI Operating, LLC will borrow $1 million to fund drilling, completion and maintenance projects in the Eagle Ford Shale. The company will enter into a joint operating agreement with Lonestar Resources that will cover over 1,450 gross acres. Lucas will have a 8% -14% working interest in the units.

Second quarter highlights for Lucas’ Eagle Ford assets include:

• Adjusted EBITDAX was $16.0 million compared to $22.0 million for 2Q15
