Depletion Allowance: Once wells are producing, a portion of the income received is tax-free under the federal depletion allowance (similar to depreciation).
Intangible Drilling Costs (IDC): 80–90% of your investment can be deducted against ordinary income in year one. Example: A $250K investment may generate a $200K tax deduction, reducing taxable income substantially.
Effect in Practice: Many investors offset high W-2 or business income, reducing their tax bill by six figures while also creating monthly cash flow from production.

"I've invested many millions in private oil and gas partnerships over the last 40 years. I started investing with United Exploration shortly after they started and have been involved in more than 20 of their projects to date. United's business model, management team, and returns are far and away the best that I and my sizable direct oil and gas investment portfolio have found over that long investing history."

Why Invest Now?
The current landscape for oil and gas presents an exceptional opportunity for investors. Both the production and demand for oil are set to break records and will continue to rise to all-time highs in 2025.
Record-High U.S. Production:
U.S. crude oil production is forecasted to average 13.1 million barrels per day in 2025, maintaining record-high levels. This showcases the resilience and strength of American energy production.
Soaring Global Demand:
In 2025, the EIA forecasts an encouraging uptrend in global energy consumption, with petroleum and other liquid fuels expected to see a demand increase of 1.7 million barrels per day.
Growing Natural Gas Consumption:
Natural gas consumption is projected to grow steadily in 2025, bolstered by its increasing adoption in power generation and industrial sectors worldwide.

Operator Partners: We work only with tier-one operators (Devon, Oxy, Continental). Many competitors promote unknown or less-experienced operators, adding unnecessary risk.
Transparency: Our investors know the exact wells, formations, and offsets before committing capital, a stark contrast to "blind pools."
Alignment: We invest our own capital alongside our partners, ensuring our interests are fully aligned with yours. Many groups are heavily fee-driven, but we are success-driven.
Track Record: We have managed over 200 wells across major basins, with multiple units producing 1,500–3,000 BBL/D initial rates.
Tax Efficiency: Our intangible drilling cost deductions of 80–90% in year one are far greater than typical real estate depreciation schedules.
Our Proven Track Record of Performance
We’ve completed and managed over 200 wells across the U.S. Our partnerships have successfully raised over $100 million in capital and delivered distributions, with multiple projects paying out a 40-60% ROI in the first year of production.
