How it works

From first call to first check

A simple, guided process. We do the heavy lifting on the drilling, the reporting and the tax paperwork.

01

Request your call back

Fill out the short form. A United Exploration partner reaches out to walk you through current projects.

02

Review the project

Get the offering documents, operator details and economics for the well project, and run them past your CPA.

03

Invest from $50,000

Own your interest as an individual, trust, LLC or corporation. Drilling costs drive your year-one write-off.

04

Collect monthly checks

Once the well is producing, revenue lands monthly with a production report, plus your K-1 at tax time.

The tax advantage

Why up to 80% can come off this year

Congress built incentives into the tax code to reward investment in domestic oil and gas production. Direct well ownership is one of the few places those benefits reach individual investors.

  • Intangible drilling costs (IDCs) make up most of a drilling investment and are often 100% deductible in the year you invest.
  • Not "passive" income. Oil and gas working interests are carved out of passive-loss rules, so deductions can offset active income.
  • Equipment costs (tangible drilling costs) are depreciated over roughly five to seven years.
  • Depletion allowance can shelter a portion of your ongoing production income.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Still have questions? A partner will walk you through everything on your call.

Who can invest?
These offerings are open to accredited investors only, meaning individuals or companies that meet the SEC's income or net-worth rules. The minimum investment starts at $50,000.
When do the monthly checks start?
Your first payment typically lands 90 to 180 days after drilling wraps. After that, revenue is paid monthly with a production report for as long as the wells keep producing.
How does the up-to-80% write-off work?
Most of a drilling investment goes to intangible drilling costs, which are often fully deductible in the year you invest. Because oil and gas working interests aren't treated as passive, those deductions can offset active income. Your CPA can confirm how it applies to you.
Who handles the tax paperwork?
We do. Full paperwork and your annual K-1 tax form are handled for you, so you can hand everything straight to your accountant.
Can I invest through a trust, LLC or IRA?
Yes. You can hold your interest as an individual, trust, LLC or corporation, and self-directed IRAs are also compatible. The structure you choose can change the tax treatment, so check with your advisor.
What are the risks?
Oil and gas investing is highly speculative. Returns are not guaranteed and depend on production, commodity prices and other factors, and you could lose some or all of your investment. Offers are made only through a written offering document. Please review it carefully with your legal and financial advisors.
