Oil and Gas Investment Opportunities

G2 Petroleum, LLC is a privately held oil and gas exploration company whose main focus is development drilling of conventional vertical wells primarily in shallow oil sands of North Texas. The company was founded in 2008 by Cotton Graham who built this company to fulfill his goal of providing unwavering transparency to G2 Petroleum’s family of oil and gas investors.

Along with our sister company, Newport Operating, we have identified a niche market oil investment opportunity in Wichita County Texas that has produced over 855 million barrels of oil to date. By drilling in a proven area, our oilfield drilling costs are much lower compared to unconventional or deeper, more expensive resource plays. Our geologist has worked this area for 40 years and his oil and gas experience allows us to enhance our profitability by understanding the geology and history of the oilfield. This knowledge and experience guides us on where or where not to drill and provides a business model to develop and maximize returns for our Partners investing in oil and gas with us.

BENEFITS OF OIL AND GAS INVESTMENTS

Investing for Income

Investments in the Oil and Gas industry have always been regarded as a high return industry. There are several specific advantages of industry ventures and investing in this market which makes the Oil and Gas industry an attractive area. Here are just some of the advantages listed below.

Massive Tax-Benefits

As a general partner participant, each partner benefits from the tax deductions available for oil and gas drilling including intangible drilling costs, depreciation, operating costs, and percentage depletion. Structured properly, partners may offset their taxable income gained from other sources with the substantial deductions available from investing in oil and gas wells.

Investors are able to write off as much as 65% to 80% in the first year for certain classes of investments. In some cases, 100% tax deduction is permitted.

High Profitability

Direct participation investments in domestic drilling developments have the potential to generate aggressive returns out performing traditional investments.

Calculated Risks

Although direct investments in the Oil and Gas industry are speculative, much of the risk has been calculated for. Historical data, solid geological work, reserve analyses and engineering and various technologies help to take the guesswork out of many aspects of oil exploration. The calculations usually equate to a high degree of success.

Why Invest in Oil and Gas?

Why is oil important? The United States consumed seven and a half billion barrels of oil and nearly thirty-one trillion cubic feet of natural gas in 2019.

These annual numbers equate to over two hundred thirty-six barrels of oil and nine hundred eighty-three thousand cubic feet of gas per second. Today, the importance of oil and gas in our country cannot be overstated. Thankfully, the oil and gas industry has not remained idle while technologies are being further developed for renewable energy.

New reservoir optimization techniques have enhanced petroleum production in both vertical and horizontal wells. Most notably, the increased implementation of technologies such as digitalization, cloud computing, and machine learning are transforming the petroleum industry… allowing for reduced costs, maximized operations and asset performance through real-time data analytics and optimized integration.
