With over 25 years of industry experience, Basin Ventures is well-positioned to identify and capitalize on highly prospective energy opportunities throughout the United States. Our team includes experienced land professionals, attorneys, and technical support with experience developing and managing energy projects of all kinds in 18 states across the country.
We have successfully managed the deployment of over $1.5 billion in capital for both mineral and royalty acquisitions and traditional oil and gas exploration projects.
The Permian Basin is a powerhouse in global energy production, located in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico. Spanning over 86,000 square miles, it's the most prolific oil and natural gas producing region in the United States. The basin's complex geology, with its multiple "stacked" formations, allows for the extraction of vast resources from a single location.
Technological advancements in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have unlocked even more potential, transforming the Permian into one of the most economically attractive exploration areas in the world. The Permian Basin currently accounts for nearly half of all U.S. oil production.
Located in Oklahoma's Anadarko Basin, the SCOOP/STACK play is a leading producer of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. SCOOP (South Central Oklahoma Oil Province) and STACK (Sooner Trend Anadarko Canadian and Kingfisher) are known for their "stacked" geological formations, which allow for the targeting of multiple hydrocarbon-rich zones from a single surface location.
This unique feature, combined with advanced drilling techniques, makes the SCOOP/STACK a highly efficient and economically attractive region for energy development. The area's mature infrastructure and proximity to the Cushing, Oklahoma, oil hub provide a significant advantage for transportation and marketing.
Wyoming and Montana's Powder River Basin is a cornerstone of American energy, historically known for its vast coal reserves, which supply about 40% of the U.S. total. In recent years, the basin has also emerged as a significant oil and gas producer.
The application of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has unlocked substantial reserves in formations like the Turner, Niobrara, and Mowry shales. The Powder River Basin is known for its multiple "stacked" pay zones, allowing for the economic development of oil and gas resources.
The Haynesville Shale, located in northwestern Louisiana and East Texas, is a super-giant natural gas field and one of the largest in the United States. The Haynesville is a "dry gas" play, meaning it produces very little oil or other liquids, making it a pure-play on natural gas.
What makes the Haynesville particularly compelling is its high-pressure reservoirs, which lead to incredibly productive wells with faster payouts for investors. Its proximity to the Gulf Coast and the growing number of liquified natural gas (LNG) export facilities positions the Haynesville as a key supplier for both domestic and international markets.
The Appalachian Basin, stretching from New York to Alabama, is the largest natural gas-producing region in the United States, accounting for nearly a third of the nation's total output. The basin is home to the prolific Marcellus and Utica shale formations.
The sheer scale of the Appalachian Basin's reserves and its strategic location near major population centers in the Northeast make it a critical component of the nation's energy infrastructure. The basin has a rich history of energy production, dating back to the first commercial oil well in the U.S. drilled in 1859. Today, it is a global leader in natural gas production.
Basin’s project screening process is built to find reasons to say no. It’s how we protect investor capital, and how we maintain the track record our firm is known for. We leverage a multidisciplinary framework that spans Land, Legal, Geological, and Financial scrutiny.
Only the top fraction of deals make it past this gauntlet. And once capital is deployed, our team stays actively engaged—optimizing performance, overseeing reporting, and ensuring investor alignment from day one through distribution.
Verifying ownership, lease terms, and surface rights to ensure legal and financial clarity.
Reviewing contracts, agreements, and compliance to protect investor interests and deal structure.
Analyzing formation quality, spacing, and production potential using expert geological data.
Forecasting returns, testing price scenarios, and identifying breakevens to guide investment decisions.
