looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual future activities and results of operations to be materially
different from those suggested or described in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein. These risks include

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. It may not contain all of
the information that is important to you. This prospectus includes information about the exchange offer and includes or
incorporates by reference information about our business and our financial and operating data. Before deciding to
participate in the exchange offer, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the financial data and related
notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus and the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 8 of this prospectus.
In this prospectus we refer to the 8.500% Senior Notes due 2019 to be issued in the exchange offer as the "new notes"
and the 8.500% Senior Notes due 2019 issued on June 10, 2011 as the "old notes." We refer to the new notes and the old notes
collectively as the "notes."
W&T Offshore, Inc.
W&T Offshore, Inc. is an independent oil and natural gas producer, active in the acquisition, exploitation, exploration and
development of oil and natural gas properties in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore Texas. The Gulf of Mexico is an area where we
have developed significant technical expertise and where high production rates associated with hydrocarbon deposits have
historically provided us the best opportunity to achieve a rapid return on our invested capital. We have leveraged our historic
experience in the conventional shelf (water depths of less than 500 feet) to develop higher impact capital projects in the Gulf of
Mexico in both the deepwater (water depths in excess of 500 feet) and the deep shelf (well depths in excess of 15,000 feet and
water depths of less than 500 feet). We have acquired rights to develop and exploit new prospects and acquired existing oil and
natural gas properties in both the deepwater and the deep shelf, while at the same time continuing our focus on the conventional
shelf. We have interests in leases covering approximately 0.9 million gross acres (0.6 million net acres) spanning across the outer
continental shelf off the coasts of Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama and onshore. Approximately 82% of our total gross
acreage is held-by-production.
More recently, we have expanded our operations onshore in both West Texas and East Texas. We currently hold working
interests in over 173,000 net acres onshore in Texas.
Our principal executive offices are located at Nine Greenway Plaza, Suite 300, Houston, Texas 77046. Our telephone
number is (713) 626-8525. We maintain a website at www.wtoffshore.com, which contains information about us. Our website
and the information contained on it and connected to it are not incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

efforts to complete the exchange offer within 365 days after the date we issued the old notes.

Exchange Offer
We are offering to exchange new notes for old notes.

Expiration Date
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 11,
2012, unless we decide to extend it.

Condition to the Exchange Offer
The registration rights agreement does not require us to accept old notes for
exchange if the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder of the
old notes, would violate any applicable law or interpretation of the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The exchange offer is not conditioned on
a minimum aggregate principal amount of old notes being tendered.

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes
To participate in the exchange offer, you must follow the procedures established
by The Depository Trust Company, which we call "DTC," for tendering notes
held in book-entry form. These procedures are part of DTC's Automated Tender
Offer Program, which we call "ATOP," and require that (i) the exchange agent
receive, prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer, a computer generated
message known as an "agent's message" that is transmitted through DTC's
automated tender offer program, and (ii) DTC confirm that:


· DTC has received your instructions to exchange your notes, and


· you agree to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal.

For more information on tendering your old notes, please refer to the section in

this prospectus entitled "Exchange Offer--Terms of the Exchange Offer" and

the exchange offer. To withdraw, you must submit a notice of withdrawal to the
exchange agent using the ATOP procedures before 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer. Please refer to the section in

registration rights agreement.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange Old Notes If you do not exchange your old notes in this exchange offer, you will no longer
be able to require us to register the old notes under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Securities Act") except in limited circumstances provided under the

Ranking
The new notes will be our general unsecured senior obligations. Accordingly,

basis by each of our existing material subsidiaries and certain future

of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.


In addition, prior to June 15, 2015, we may redeem all or part of the notes at a

to be redeemed, plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest.

Change of Control and Asset Sales

apply the proceeds as required, we will be required to offer to repurchase the
notes at the prices set forth in under "Description of the Notes--Repurchase at

addition, most of the covenants will terminate if both Standard & Poor's Ratings

Services and Moody's Investor Service, Inc. assign the new notes an investment
grade rating and no default exists with respect to the new notes. See
