Buying oil and/or gas drilling deals through a registered broker/dealer

I would like to know why some oil deals are done through securities dealers and some are not.  Is there a benefit of one over the other.    Doesn’t it still come down to who you do business with? – Keith H.

Keith – In 1934 Congress passed the Securities and Exchange Act requiring the sale of oil and gas interests in drilling projects to be sold as securities by a registered Broker / Dealer.  Congress further went on to define the types of investors that could be solicited by Broker / Dealers (see Accredited and Sophisticated Investors).  Broker / Dealers are also required to provide potential investors with full-disclosure of the project including potential adverse risk factors, as well as who is behind the project, who is participating the project and how. As with any law there are loopholes.  Without delving into the details there are ways to market oil and gas deals without becoming a registered Broker / Dealer.  We want all our drilling project partners to know as much as possible about our projects not only because that’s the right way to approach a potential business relationship but because that’s the only way to create a successful long term relationship.  That’s why we have undergone the additional steps and scrutiny to become a Registered Broker / Dealer.  And of course you’re right about the importance of knowing who you are doing business with.  Trust is the most important factor in any business deal.  When you buy into deals through Broker / Dealers your trust level starts at a higher plane.

I read your website with interest.

I would like to know if you could recommend any broker dealers that can be contracted with to legally sell oil and gas working interests and or parnership interests in an LLC.

Would like to know more about the nature and ROI of the securities you offer.

Thanks,
