Fair questions
Texas oil investment questions.
How do I invest in oil wells in Texas?
The most common way for an individual is a working interest: a direct ownership share of a Texas well, drilled and run by an established operator. You can also buy shares of public companies. Texas oil and gas investments through a working interest mean you own part of the production itself.
Is Basin Ventures an oil and gas investment company in Texas?
Yes. Basin Ventures is headquartered in Southlake, Texas, and puts accredited investors into domestic oil and gas wells through working interests. We select the wells, negotiate the interests with operators and handle accounting and reporting for every investor.
Are there oil wells for sale in Texas?
Listings for oil wells for sale in Texas are common. Buying a whole well makes you the operator, responsible for the lease, equipment, regulators and eventual plugging. A working interest lets you own part of the production while a professional operator runs the well.
What are Texas drilling investments?
Texas drilling investments fund new wells, as opposed to buying wells that already produce. Drilling carries more risk, because a well can produce less than expected, and it is also where most of the drilling-cost tax treatment comes from. Your CPA can tell you how that applies to you.
Who is this for?
Accredited investors, as the SEC defines them. Asking for the guide does not verify or decide your eligibility, and it does not commit you to anything.
Will I have to operate a well?
No. In a non-operated working interest, an established operator drills and runs the well. Basin selects the wells, negotiates the interest and handles accounting and reporting for investors.
What are the risks?
Real ones. Oil and gas prices move, wells can produce less than expected, drilling can fail, and these investments are illiquid. You can lose some or all of what you invest. The offering documents describe every risk in detail, and you should read them in full.
How do the tax rules apply to me?
It depends on your situation. Direct oil and gas investments may qualify for significant deductions, but whether and how they apply is a question for your own CPA or tax adviser. The guide gives you the right questions to ask.
