United American Petroleum Corp. (OTCBB:UAPC), in the exploration stage as of December 31, 2010, engages in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and gas properties. Its principal business is the acquisition of leasehold interests in petroleum and natural gas rights, either directly or indirectly, and the exploitation and development of properties subject to these leases. As a result of acquisitions completed in December 2010 and January 2011, the company owns various oil and gas interests in Texas.

United owns a 100% working interest in the Marcee 1 Tract, which is located on approximately 112 acres of land in Gonzalez County, Texas. The Marcee lease contains one well.
