WHY INVEST IN ENERGY?
WHY INVEST IN ENERGY?• Inflation Hedge• High Financial Rewards• Cash Flow (Mail Box Money)• Diversification• Tax Benefits• Competition• Lease Costs• Drilling Prospect Availability• Demand / Consumption• Oil Production Trend • Price Forecasts• Drilling Costs• Technology• Environment• Government Endorsement• Money Crunch
That Sinking Feeling
Three Boogie Men
• Inflation – (As the government spends its
way out of the current economic downturn.)
• Demand – rapidly increasing
• Supply -- rapidly decreasing
“If you think $140 oil was bad, wait until exploding Asian demand overwhelms global markets and America's suppliers cut us off.”
Weiss Research, Inc.
Two Strategies - Gold or Oil (Natural Gas or Silver)
• Purchase gold at a retail price and sell it later at a wholesale price.
(If the price remains flat – you lose money.)
• Purchase oil at a wholesale price and sell it later at a retail price.
(If the price remains flat – you make a profit.)
HIGH FINANCIAL REWARDS
• Producing Wells – 10-20% Cash-on-Cash Return
• Developmental Wells – 85% success
25% to 100% Annualized Return on Investment
• Exploratory Wells (Wildcats) - 10% to 50% Success
100 to one Return-on-Investment
Purchase Proven Natural Gas (Project 9085)
• 27% Actual Cash on Cash – 2008• 11% if price remains flat for 6 years• 16% if price is average of past 10 years• 46% if price goes to previous high• 5% if price declines to zero
(Worst possible case)
RISK
• Drilling is becoming less risky.
• Several projects have a probability of success
better than 90%.
• Many projects would be economically attractive
even if oil or gas prices would fall 50%.
COMPETITION
The big money has gone offshore, because there are “too few easy-to-find big oil fields” remaining onshore in the USA.
– Over 10,000 oil companies have left the arena since 1982.

DRILLING PROSPECT QUALITY
Because the big oil companies are pulling out of the USA, the quality of small drilling prospects are getting better.
LEASE COSTS
Oil companies are not as anxious to renew leases.
(so lease costs are low)
Demand / Consumption
• U.S. consumes 25% of world’s petroleum.• Asians are taking lessons from the USA.• China and India will consume more energy
than that of USA.
China is buying up world oil reserves
•Venezuela•Angola•Canada•USA (Better)
5 Year Oil Price History
OIL PRODUCTION TREND
• USA output is at 35 year low
• Over two-thirds of USA onshore oil wells are “marginal”. (Less than 10 barrels
per day)
Oil Imports
• Yesterday – 30% During Embargo (1970)
• Today – 67% (All Time High)
• Tomorrow – 73% within 20 years. The U.S. Office of Technology
Assessment says that “This will Bankrupt the U.S.A.”
America’s Dangerous Addiction: IMPORTED OIL
• Oil imports have exceeded 67% of U.S. consumption!• We pay over $51 a barrel just to maintain a military presence in the Middle East
DRILLING COSTS
Rig activity is low,
so drilling costs are low.
TECHNOLOGY
Recent advances in oil finding technology have reduced risk and improved recovery.
Some companies report 85% success on wildcat wells.
ENVIRONMENT
Sierra Club endorses natural gas, wind, solar, and geothermal. (Combustion by-products of gas are carbon dioxide and water).
GOVERNMENT
• Encourages domestic drilling with special tax breaks.
• Mandates natural gas usage over oil and coal.
• Natural gas is now deregulated.
TAX BENEFITS
• Drilling is the best tax advantaged investment (Newsweek)
• Congress gives tax breaks to individual investors that are not available to large companies.
• 100% tax deductible ... 65 to 80% can be written off in first year
• Up to 100% tax-free income.
MONEY CRUNCH
Traditional sources of drilling money are not as available. – Big Oil Companies– Banks– Mezzanine Financing
CONGRESSIONAL TAX INCENTIVES
• Domestic Oil and Natural Gas makes our country more energy self-sufficient by reducing our dependence on foreign imports.
• Congress provides tax incentives to stimulate domestic petroleum production financed by private sources.
• These incentives are not "Loop Holes" -- they were placed in the Tax Code by Congress to make participation in oil and gas ventures one of the best tax advantaged investments.
Well Work-over Tax Incentive (Texas)
Tax exempt for the first 10 years from paying the 4.6 % Texas State Severance Tax on oil and the 7.5 % on natural gas.
ACTIVE VS. PASSIVE INCOME
The Tax Code prohibits the offsetting of losses from Passive activities against income from Active businesses.
The Tax Code specifically states that a Working Interest in an oil and gas well is not a "Passive" Activity,
therefore, deductions can be offset against income from active stock trades, business income, salaries, etc. (See Section 469(c)(3) of the Tax Code).
SMALL PRODUCERS TAX EXEMPTION
The 1990 Tax Act provided special tax advantages for small companies and individuals. This tax incentive, known as the "Percentage Depletion Allowance", is specifically intended to encourage small company and individual participation in oil and gas drilling. This tax benefit is not available to large oil companies The "Small Producers Exemption" allows 15% of the Gross Income (not Net Income) from an oil and gas producing property to be tax-free.
(See Section 613A of the Tax Code.)
ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX (AMT)
The Tax Code specifically exempts Intangible Drilling Cost (IDC) as a
Tax Preference Item. "Alternative Minimum Taxable Income" generally consists of adjusted gross income, minus allowable AMT itemized deductions, plus the sum of tax preference items and adjustments. "Tax Preference Items" are preferences existing in the Code to greatly reduce or eliminate regular income taxation. Included within this group are deductions for excess Intangible Drilling and Development Costs and the deduction for depletion allowable for a taxable year over the adjusted basis in the Drilling Acreage and the wells thereon.
Green Tax Breaks
• 2.1 cents per kWh for first 10 years• Full depreciation in 5 years• Federal Cash Grants (30%)
federal cash grants avail that replace the capital cost tax credit with cash in the amount of 30% of the project's qualifying cost
• 50% Depreciation (2009)
• MACRS – (Modified Accelerated Cost-Recovery System) • Bonus Depreciation (2009)
• ITC (Energy Investment Tax Credit)(10% Geothermal, 30% for solar, fuel cells, small wind systems)
Why Invest in Oil and Gas?• High Financial Rewards• Risk• Tax Benefits• Competition• Lease Costs• Drilling Prospect Availability• Demand / Consumption• Oil Production Trend • Price Forecasts• Drilling Costs• Technology• Environment• Government Attitude• Money Crunch

People Like You and Me - Worldwide
Why is this available?
Billions of BOE were “left behind”
• Proven Producing Oil and Gas Fields• The fields were never fully developed • Dormant for decades• The operator is selling his oil so he can revive old wells and get more producing oil.
Operator Choices
• Bank• Another Oil Company• Private Funds• General Partners
How Do I Earn Profits?Buy Wholesale – Sell Retail
(Buy Low - Sell High)• You buy gas at a low fixed price ($2 per MCF)• Your gas is continuously sold into the pipeline• Your gas is sold at market price ($4 per MCF)• The production company handles everything (25%)• You don’t have to do any work• You own the company that owns the gas.

Operator’s Intent
It is the Operator’s intention to provide the purchaser with a Cash-on-Cash Return of about 20% if the price of oil and gas were to remain flat for the next 6 years.
Liquidity
At any time you may sell your unsold gas to any other person for any price.
How Long Will This Opportunity Be Available?
Until the Operator has sufficient cash flow to fund his new wells.
What Will Gas Prices do over the next 6 years?
Gas Price Historical Statistics ($/MCF)• $5.00 Approximate price - January 2010
– “We are currently at historically low energy prices”
• $5.15 Average price for the past 10 yrs• $8.88 Average price for 2008• $13.19 High during 2008• $15.00 High during the past 10 years
What is your guess?
The average price of Natural Gas over the next 6 yrs will be ________ $/MCF.
What % increase do you expect in your energy costs - Oil, Gasoline, Natural Gas, Etc.
What Will Be My Cash-on-Cash Return?(Basis $2/MCF)
If Average Gas Price Over Next 6 Years is:• $3.00 = 9.38% (Approximate low price in 2009 )
• $5.15 = 16.06 % (Average price for the past 10 yrs)
• $8.88 = 27.75% (Average price for 2008)
• $13.19 = 41.22 % (High during 2008)
• $15.00 = 46.88% (High during the past 10 years)
• _______________ = _______________ % (Your Guess)
Your guess:
The average price of Natural Gas over the next 6 yrs will be ________ $/MCF.
