'Investing in Oil & Natural Gas Direct Participation, Working Interest Ownership in 2005'
Investing in oil & natural gas direct participation, working interest ownership in new drilling, and developmental, and exploratory prospects in 2005...is quite a bit different in many respects than investing in years past...
First of all, it can be difficult to know who is the best at picking only the top 1%, or fewer really outstanding natural gas & oil investment prospects we see in our industry these days...but even more important, is we now have new companies who are diversifying in oil & gas to take advantage of the currently high prices, which seem to be moving higher and higher...however most of the promoters have no idea whether they can get drilling rigs, or have the type of in depth knowledge, and contacts, not to mention infrastructure, and networking talent to pull everything together, which is absolutely necessary to achieve the outcomes they are telling investors are possible...you as an investor don't want to be the guinea pig...
My experience has brought to me to a point where I sincerely question most newcomers in the oil & gas development game who can make a consistent rate of return for investors, without a lot of luck, and great persistance...
Investors often tell me they don't want to be a part of someone elses learning curve when it comes to knowing precisely who to be doing business with, and then trusting these people to know where to drill, and then most importantly be able to accomplish what they promise, or tell you can be done...it's easy to talk, harder to perform...
Call me, or email me with your questions...I'll let you know which companies I believe can do the best job for an investor, and give you some suggestions, and ideas you'll need to do your due diligence...

'Investing in Oil & Natural Gas During High Price Periods'
Investing in oil and natural gas opportunities during these high price environments, and while prices are increasing rapidly should be accomplished while keeping some very important considerations in mind...such as making sure the companies you consider investing with have a high degree of integrity, and with ones that will be able to meet your performance expectations...
You will want to make sure you are associating with only well established companies that are able to secure drilling rigs, and maintain a high level of capability relative to having the necessary equipment, and manpower available...this can be hard enough, but most importantly...
You want to make sure, or have a way to find-out, or know they are not being tempted to drill and develop new oil & gas prospects, or leasehold acreage which don't meet very high standards for the selection criteria, which are necessary... to keep the 'hit rate', and completion rate of commercially profitable wells high...
In our business world today, the proverbial 'shark feeding frenzy'...is not something you want to buy into...You want to make sure you are investing with only the 'best' of the well established companies, with plenty of depth, and well established infrastructures, and networking contacts...but most importantly, you want to be associating only with companies having a quantifiable track record...
You can be assured the most successful of the independents, and major oil companies will be careful about drilling any marginal oil & gas prospects...you don't want to be doing business with 'johnny come lately's', or invest with those companies, that are capitalizing on the natural tendency of investors to want to profit in markets where prices are high, and going higher...
You also don't want to be dealing with oil & gas companies, operators, or prospect generators, that are reaching too far with their development plans, or are drilling prospects which don't meet the necessary standards for the likelihood of recovering enough commercial quantities of natural gas, and oil production to warrant the developmental, or exploratory risk...
You also need to be doing business with companies that have the discipline to implement a 'risk control model', which allows you as the investor to spread-out your risk, while diversifying in many new oil & gas prospects and with multiple prospect generators, and operators...which gives you the flexibility and opportunity to pick and choose wherever, and whenever possible... those best oil & natural gas prospects, or the most viable ones to make you money over the long term...
There is big money now being made, with many new discoveries occuring daily...and at increasingly deeper depths, both on shore, and off shore, than ever before...because of our new technology, and better techniques, including faster drilling rates...and there is likely to be more money made in our current time than at few other times in history...especially for those investors, and companies properly positioned to take advantage of the opportunities we now have, and see regularly in our business...plus... during the next fews years or so in oil & gas development... we'll see even more commercial production established... before the alternative methods, or new oil & gas fields are found, and exploited, which could bring prices down some...meanwhile the decision makers, who do their homework, will as usual, take advantage, as investors... of the present high price levels for oil & natural gas...
Tax Benefits are still king in the oil & gas patch, but you need to be invested with the correct investment structure, and working with an oil & gas company that knows the proper way to prepare the K-1's, and accurately list, and include all legitimate tax preference items on the appropriate tax forms...so you can get all of the tax benefits the law provides...
If you would like more information, and some suggestions on where you might consider investing, and how to get started, just email me with your contact street information, and/or call with your questions...there are a few legal requirements to follow, such as filling out a customer account form, so a registered, and licensed oil & gas company can determine your suitability, and make sure you are meeting the requirements for investing...but these are not difficult for most people to meet... Make sure you do your homework...I've been doing mine for nearly 24 years now...Contact me and we'll get started, and pointed in the right direction with your due diligence process... americanenergy@gmail.com or phone at: 805 701 7761

'Investing in Oil & Natural Gas Direct Participation Programs'
Investing in oil & natural gas direct participation, working interest ownership can help you get on the 'long side of investing'...and actually own a fractional piece of new oil & gas wells...You can do this while taking advantage of the superior tax benefits, that your friendly stock brokerage house, or corporation enjoys...which you don't... unless you know how to invest directly as an individual or corporation in oil & gas direct participation investments, along side the large independents, and major oil companies...
This well established method of investing in the new oil & gas well prospects allows you to avoid the program traders, and fancy buying and selling strategies developed by the major stock houses to know how to sell short, and through very sophisticated techniques try to make money on the difference between the prices of stocks sold at various times of the day, week, or month, or places, as in arbitrage...before buying back and hopefully making a profit, which can be very time consuming, and difficult....If you trade, or invest in the stock market you know what I'm referring to in the business...
We all like to make money, and minimize the taxes we pay in the process...you probably know some about oil & gas investment in general terms, and may invest in oil or natural gas stocks, or actually have made an investment in the past in oil or gas stocks...however, what you may not have experienced is working with people who know how to diversify, and spread-out risk, while investing with the best in our industry...and be able to watch a portfolio grow, while seeing tax benefits give you even better returns...if you would like to know more about how we do this just send me an email, or sign-up for the newsletters on my website, and ask for the updates I send to help investors learn more about the oil & gas investment business...
If you provide me with a contact street address, and phone number, I will get in touch with you right away...
Call me to learn more at: 408 975 0800 ofc, or my cell: 805 701 7761, and leave a message, or send an email to: americanenergy@gmail.com
