Decades of Passive Income and Strong ROI Potential
Direct ownership in oil and gas wells may be a great way for investors to benefit from returns above and beyond most market-based investments. Improved technology and the shift to developmental, infield drilling in both proven conventional fields and unconventional shale have changed the dynamics and lowered the overall risk of oil and gas investing. Improved technology and higher drilling success rates combine to set the stage for strong investment performance.
Portfolio Diversification
Oil and gas investments are hard assets with low performance correlation to stocks & bonds. As a risk diversification strategy, direct energy investing may provide a buffer against fluctuating market conditions and inflation movements.
Tax Benefits of Oil and Gas Investing
Ownership in drilling programs and producing oil and gas properties offer some of the most attractive tax incentives for investments available. The IRS provides tax incentives to encourage private investments in domestic oil and gas production.
- For drilling investments, approximately 60-80% of well costs may be fully deductible in year one as intangible drilling costs.
- The remaining amount is categorized as tangible costs and may be depreciated over time.
- In addition, 15% of a property’s gross cash flow is tax free in the form of a depletion allowance.
- You will also enjoy an additional cost depletion allowance allows for 100% deduction of property lease costs, sales expenses, legal and administrative accounting expenses.
