Victory Energy Corporation Sells Its Lightnin' Property

Victory Energy Corporation, (OTCQX: VYEY) ("Victory" or "the Company") a rapidly
growing, Permian Basin focused oil and gas company, today announced that it has
sold its Permian Basin Lightnin' property in Glasscock County, Texas to an
unnamed buyer for $4,080,000. The transaction closed on June 5, 2014. 


Victory's 20% working interest and 15% net revenue interest in the Lightnin'
property was acquired through a March 2012 transaction with the operator,
Hannathon Petroleum. The first of four wells was drilled on the property in late
2012. The most successful of the four wells (Cotter 6 #2) was brought into
production in March of 2014. All four vertical wells targeted the Spraberry
trend, with a focus on the stacked Wolfcamp, Strawn, Fusselman and Cline
formations. Daily net production to the company interest was approximately 36
BOE at the time of the sale. The Lightnin' property generated a 63% Internal
Rate of Return ("IRR") for the 25 month period the Company held the property. 


"As part of our 2012 shift in focus toward the Permian Basin of Texas and
southeast New Mexico, our acquisition of the 640 acre Lightnin' property
represented a new beginning for the company. Its larger non-operated working
interest and multi-well development program provided a solid platform to
demonstrate the solid returns available to our shareholders. As we grow, we will
acquire bigger versions of this property that offer significantly more upside
development opportunity. We are selling the Lightnin' property to focus on
larger more strategic projects that are available in the basin. Our recent
acquisition announcement of the 4,650 gross acre Fairway project is just one
example of upsizing our growth via more production and significantly more
development drilling," explained Kenny Hill, CEO of Victory Energy Corporation.
"This sale and our pending Fairway acquisition are consistent with our
overarching strategy to deploy our capital to longer-life, high quality
prospects with a higher mix of oil and liquids. The 63% IRR demonstrates our
ability to deliver exceptional returns for our investors."
