Oil
& Gas Venture investment review/advisory
I specialize
in helping investors make wise and informed decisions about oil deals.
Oil & gas ventures can generate very high return on investment with
excellent tax benefits, but investors must be able to choose their opportunities
wisely. Most oil & gas investors do not have the intimate knowledge of the
industry or the geological and engineering expertise to make an informed
decision. I know how to cut to the core
of critical information for a speedy evaluation of your investment opportunity
by performing the following services:
Run a Credibility
Check on company making you the offer;
Make an independent
review on integrity of geological and engineering data or other information
provided;
Assess risk factor
and run economic model for your interest;
You will receive
a prompt report via telephone, fax, email and/or hard copy (depending on
service level).
Experience
Background
& Experience
Since 1983, I have
consulted to the oil and gas industry in various onshore USA ventures as
a Registered Professional Petroleum Engineer. In addition to personally
investing in oil and gas ventures offered by other companies, I have
organized oil & gas ventures and assembled individual investors for my own
projects. Therefore, I have been in both camps. My 20+ years experience
managing projects and ventures for groups of investors and drilling/ operating
oil and gas wells enables me to be uniquely qualified to evaluate
venture opportunities for individuals.
