Got questions? We've got the answers

What are the benefits of investing in oil and gas?

Oil and gas investments offer high potential returns, monthly cash flow, and unique tax advantages like first-year deductions through intangible drilling costs (IDCs) and depreciation. For accredited investors, this can lower taxable income while gaining exposure to a critical U.S. energy asset class.

How do I calculate the ROI for oil and gas investments?

To calculate ROI, subtract your total investment cost from your total cash returns (monthly checks + exit value), then divide by your original investment.

ROI = (Total Return – Investment Cost) ÷ Investment Cost

For example, a $100K investment generating $20K/year over 5 years would have a 100%+ ROI, excluding tax savings.

What is the average return on investment (ROI) in oil and gas?

Returns vary by project and operator. Direct working interest deals often target 15%–30%+ annual ROI, while some successful wells pay out in under 24 months. Tax benefits can boost after-tax returns significantly—especially for high-income W-2 earners.

How do oil and gas tax deductions work?

Oil and gas projects allow investors to deduct a large portion of their investment in year one - often 80–100% - through IDCs and accelerated depreciation. These deductions can offset active or passive income, depending on the structure, making it one of the few legal ways to reduce W-2 taxes through a passive investment.
