'Investing in Today's Oil & Gas Investments'
Investing in oil & natural gas today should involve the use of a 'check-list'...just like the pilot's who like to stay out of trouble when flying their daily missions, whether civilian, or military...
You can follow a plan, or you can be swayed by fancy pictures on websites...or even fancier presentations, by overly enthusiastic salesman who want you to buy something quickly, or lose-out...the pro's just don't do it this way...remember you are not buying a house...which is usually an emotional decision...but investing to make money...and not lose your capital in the process...maybe even investing to get tax benefits as well...this takes a check-list, and a plan...
I consider the need for a 'risk control model' to be an integral part of your key plan to follow when you are going to make an oil & gas investment decision...track records are important...however, as in Hollywood, sometimes you are only as good as your last successful 'picture show'...betting it all on a single well, or even a couple of wells is very, very risky...
A better idea is to have a consistent plan of investing in a variety of oil & gas prospects which can help you spread-out your risk over a two year time frame for example, and doing this all while diversifying in a relatively large number of very carefully selected new drilling prospects...20 to 30 is good...40 to 50 is better...by the way, this should be the 20 to 50 best prospects that have been found from reviewing from a universe of more than a thousand generated oil & gas prospects...
Why do I say 'new prospects'? Simple, because anything else is often a waste of time, money, and is usually a crap shoot, and study in wishful thinking or dreaming...wishful in the sense you think you are going to find, and recover something in an old field, or old well bore...using an old & antiquated plan involving such methods as... re-entrys, work-overs, methane gas recovery, or water floods, just to give you a few examples of secondary recovery attempts in old abandoned fields...most are doomed to failure...and are not what the big boys, or industry professionals are concentrating on...
Following the smart money is a better approach...it isn't 'risk free' mind you, but it makes far better sense then trying to do something others have already tried, and failed at...all the while thinking you can be luckier, or having a belief that you know something about an old field that hasn't already been thought of or tried...I did this for the first 15 years of my career in the business...and got lucky once in awhile, but not enough to be able to count on this approach as a consistent winning formula that would work again and again...
I have discovered a company with very experienced oil & gas professionals who have a risk control model, or system that has worked consistently for the past four years...this is a company that has nearly tripled it's growth in the past three years alone...

'Investing In Oil & Natural Gas In Current Times'
Investing in oil and natural gas these days can be a different process, and a far cry from years ago, or even a year ago...particularly if you are investing in the right oil & gas prospects being developed by the right company...
We now find oil & gas in many ways thought impossible...just a few short years ago...I just heard about a new process, and a better idea for recovering more oil & gas... reportedly even better than through the use of modern 3-D seismic...
In most cases you never recover more than the 30% or 40% of the total oil & natural gas reserves trapped in any given... hydrocarbon sand interval... trapping mechanism, anomoly, closure, or structure... or 30% to 40% of the total volume... which is typically believed by most in our industry as the maximum you can get from a reservoir with current techniques...now a West German company has discovered a process, and method to recover up to 50% or more...and with big reserviors this can be a whole lot of oil & gas left in the ground to go after...
If you would like to be provided with the latest information, and the newest oil & gas investment prospectuses... from an independent oil & gas financial services company I like best in the 'oil patch'...please let me know by providing your contact street address, and phone number... americanenergy@gmail.com
