TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Empire Petroleum Corporation (NYSE American: EP) ("Empire" or the "Company"), an oil and gas company with current producing assets in New Mexico, North Dakota, Montana, Texas, and Louisiana, announced today its previously announced rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) was fully subscribed.

The Rights Offering is expected to result in gross proceeds, before expenses, to the Company of approximately $20.66 million. The Company will use the proceeds from the Rights Offering for current and future drilling activity, 3D seismic, land and lease purchases, enhanced oil recovery facilities and general corporate purposes.
