When can I expect investment returns to start?

New investments begin earning income the very first day after funds are cleared. This is in the form of a fixed interest rate, currently 5%* APR. After a minimum time span, or vesting period, your account will begin receiving its proportionate share of income from all the wells in the partnership portfolio. * As of year 2017

Do you drill and operate your own wells?

We specialize in securing what is called a “partial working interests” in wells. This is a shared ownership of a Well and it’s returns. that are developed and operated by other oil and gas exploration companies. We search for only the absolute best of the best of prospects.

What is the evaluation process behind well selections, i.e. what makes a well prospect attractive?

Here is a top-11 summary of our well selection guidelines: Through dollar-cost-averaging spread your drilling budget over a diverse spectrum of well projects. Never exceed a preset maximum per well allocation – no matter how promising a prospect appears to be. Try to include as many of the safer offset wells and infield drilling prospects in your portfolio as possible. Exploratory wells as a minimum should have multi-pay zone objectives, validated 3-D seismic interpretation and associated well control. Only participate in wells that will “probably” (as opposed to possibly) yield a blended annual tax-weighted return through payback of at least 30% and accumulate a reserves base of 3Xs ROI through the life of the portfolio. Plan on a 50% completion rate – continuously strive for 60% or better. The ideal crude oil to natural gas production ratio for the portfolio should be 1 bbl : 5mcf Anticipate up to 20% in drilling/completion cost overruns. Expect 15-20% annual production depletion on a balanced well portfolio. Understand that each well is a separate business unit subject to operating expenses and taxes and that any unprofitable well(s) must be quickly identified and divested. And last, but certainly not least, know your prospect generators and operators. Deal only with those that have proven track records and reputations for honest representation and efficient management.
