EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to Schedule 13D as filed on August 6, 2012 (the “Schedule 13D”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of PEDEVCO CORP., a Texas corporation formerly named Blast Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”). All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

This Amendment is being filed to amend Items 3, 4 and 5 of the Schedule 13D as set forth below:

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The information contained in Item 4 is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

On July 27, 2012, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 13, 2012 (the "Merger Agreement") among the Company, Blast Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned Nevada subsidiary of the Company ("MergerCo"), and Pacific Energy Development Corp., a privately held Nevada corporation ("PEDCO"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and effective July 27, 2012, MergerCo was merged with and into PEDCO (the "Merger"), with PEDCO continuing as the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Prior to the completion of the Merger, the Reporting Person held securities issued by PEDCO. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and effective upon the completion of the Merger, the Reporting Person acquired beneficial ownership of certain of the 1,152,289 shares of Common Stock that are the subject of this Schedule 13D in exchange for his securities issued by PEDCO.

On March 22, 2013, Mr. Moore was granted warrants to purchase 953 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $5.25 per share in connection with a bridge note financing.

On August 8, 2013, Mr. Moore gifted 7,000 shares to certain third parties.

On August 9, 2013, Mr. Moore was issued 290,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, which are subject to forfeiture. 40% vest on the six month anniversary of the grant date; 15% vest on the 18 month anniversary of the grant date; 15% vest on the 24 month anniversary of the grant date; 15% vest on the 30 month anniversary of the grant date and the balance (15%) vest on the 36 month anniversary of the grant date, in each case, as long as Mr. Moore remains an employee of, or a consultant to, the Company.

The Reporting Person acquired such shares of Common Stock for investment purposes. Depending upon market conditions and other factors that the Reporting Person deems material, after the date of this Schedule 13D the Reporting Person may purchase additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company in the open market, in private transactions or from the Company, or may dispose of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company that he now owns or hereafter may acquire. The Reporting Person does not have any present plans or proposals that relate to, or that would result in, any of the events described in paragraphs (a) to (j) of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D instructions. The Reporting Person reserves the right to formulate plans or make proposals, and take such actions with respect to his investment in the Company, including any or all of the items specified in paragraphs (a) to (j) of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D instructions and any other actions as he may determine.
