The name of the corporation is W&T Offshore, Inc.

The period of its duration is perpetual.

The purpose or purposes for which the corporation is organized is the transaction of any or all lawful business for which corporations may be incorporated under the Texas Business Corporation Act.

The aggregate number of shares of capital stock which the corporation shall have authority to issue is one hundred twenty million three hundred thirty thousand (120,330,000) shares, of which one hundred eighteen million three hundred thirty thousand (118,330,000) shares shall be designated as Common Stock, par value $.00001 per share, and two million (2,000,000) shares shall be designated as Preferred Stock, par value $.00001 per share.

The following is a statement fixing certain of the designations and rights, voting rights, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock of the corporation, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, and the authority with respect thereto expressly granted to the Board of Directors of the corporation to fix any such provisions not fixed by these Articles:

The Board of Directors is hereby expressly vested with the authority to adopt a resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, which shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series and in such amounts as may be determined by the Board of Directors in such resolution or resolutions. The rights, voting rights, designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, of each series of Preferred Stock and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of such preferences and/or rights (collectively the "Series Terms"), shall be such as are stated and expressed in a resolution or resolutions providing for the creation or revision of such Series Terms (a "Preferred Stock Series Resolution") adopted by the Board of Directors. The Board shall have the power and authority, to the fullest extent permissible under the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "Act"), as currently in effect or as amended, to determine and establish by a Preferred Stock Series Resolution, the Series Terms of a particular series, including, without limitation, determination of the following:

Any of the Series Terms, including voting rights, of any series may be made dependent upon facts ascertainable outside the Articles of Incorporation and the Preferred Stock Series Resolution, provided that the manner in which such facts shall operate upon such Series Terms is clearly and expressly set forth in the Articles of Incorporation or in the Preferred Stock Series Resolution.

Subject to the provisions of this Article Four, shares of one or more series of Preferred Stock may be authorized or issued from time to time as shall be determined by and for such consideration as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, in an aggregate amount not exceeding the total number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized by the Articles of Incorporation. All shares of any one series of Preferred Stock so designated by the Board of Directors shall be alike in every particular, except that shares of any one series issued at different times may differ as to the dates from which dividends thereon shall be cumulative.

1. DIVIDENDS. Subject to the provisions of any Preferred Stock Series Resolution, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends and at such times and in such manner as determined by the Board of Directors, declare and pay dividends on the Common Stock of the corporation.

No dividend (other than a dividend in capital stock ranking on a parity with the Common Stock or cash in lieu of fractional shares with respect to such stock dividend) shall be declared or paid on any share or shares of any class of stock or series thereof ranking on a parity with the Common Stock in respect of payment of dividends for any dividend period unless there shall have been declared, for the same dividend period, like proportionate dividends on all shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

2. LIQUIDATION. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (each, a "Liquidation Event"), after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the corporation and payment or setting aside for payment of any preferential amount due to the holders of any other class or series of stock, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive ratably any or all assets remaining to be paid or distributed.

3. VOTING RIGHTS. Subject to any special voting rights set forth in any Preferred Stock Series Resolution, the holders of the Common Stock of the corporation shall be entitled at all meetings of shareholders to one vote for each share of such stock held by them.

Whenever reference is made in this Article Four to shares "ranking prior to" another class of stock or "on a parity with" another class of stock, such reference shall mean and include all other shares of the corporation in respect of which the rights of the holders thereof as to the payment of dividends or as to distributions upon a Liquidation Event, as the case may be, are given preference over, or rank on an equality with, as the case may be, the rights of the holders of such other class of stock. Whenever reference is made to shares "ranking junior to" another class of stock, such reference shall mean and include all shares of the corporation in respect of which the rights of the holders thereof as to the payment of dividends or as to distributions upon a Liquidation Event, as the case may be, are junior and subordinate to the rights of the holders of such class of stock.

Except as otherwise provided herein or in any Preferred Stock Series Resolution, each series of Preferred Stock ranks on a parity with each other with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions upon a Liquidation Event, and each ranks prior to the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions upon a Liquidation Event. Common Stock ranks junior to the Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions upon a Liquidation Event.

For the purposes of Section 2 of Section B of this Article Four and for the purpose of the comparable sections of any Preferred Stock Series Resolution, the merger or consolidation of the corporation into or with any other corporation, or the merger of any other corporation into it, or the sale, lease, or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets, property or business of the corporation, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation.

The corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or out of shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, the full number of shares of Common Stock into which all shares of any series of Preferred Stock having conversion privileges from time to time outstanding are convertible.

Unless otherwise provided in a Preferred Stock Series Resolution with respect to a particular series of Preferred Stock, all shares of Preferred Stock redeemed or acquired (as a result of conversion or otherwise) shall be retired and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares.

No holder of any shares of stock of the corporation shall be entitled as a matter of right to purchase or subscribe for any part of any shares of stock of the corporation authorized by these Articles or of any additional shares of stock of any class to be issued by reason of any increase in the authorized capital stock of the corporation, or of any bonds, certificates of indebtedness, debentures, warrants, options or other securities or rights convertible into any class of capital stock of the corporation, but any shares of stock authorized by these Articles or any such additional authorized issue of any capital stock, rights or securities convertible into any shares of such stock may be issued and disposed of by the Board of Directors to such persons, firms, corporations or associations for such consideration, upon such terms and in such manner as the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, determine without any offering thereof on the same terms or on any other terms to the shareholders then of record or to any class of shareholders; provided only that such issuance may not be inconsistent with any provisions of law or with any of the provisions of these Articles.

An annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held at such times as may be stated or fixed in accordance with the bylaws. Special meetings may only be called (1) by the Chairman of the Board (if any), the President, the Board of Directors, or such other person or persons as may be authorized in the articles of incorporation or the bylaws or (2) by the holders of not less than thirty (30) percent of all the shares entitled to vote at the proposed special meeting. No action of the stockholders may be taken by written consent or consents of stockholders.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no director of this corporation shall be liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in the director's capacity as director, except that this Article does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for:

(a) a breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders;

(b) an act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

(c) a transaction from which a director received an important benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the director's office;

(d) an act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided for by statute; or

(e) an act related to an unlawful stock repurchase or payment of a dividend.

If the Texas Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act or any other statute is amended subsequently to the effective date of this Article VII to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the full extent permitted by such statute, as so amended.

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the shareholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

Cumulative voting is expressly prohibited. At each election of directors every shareholder entitled to vote at such election shall have the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares owned by him with respect to each of the persons nominated for election as a director and for whose election he has a right to vote; and no shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate his votes by giving one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected, multiplied by the number of shares owned by such shareholder, or by distributing such votes on the same principle among any number of candidates.
