The partnership intends to participate in the drilling of new oil and natural gas wells in regions identified by the Sponsor to provide competitive returns at current commodity prices. We believe that the majority of the capital expenditure of the fund will be focused in the Permian Basin, including the Delaware and Midland Basins. The Partnership may also participate in wells in other formations, including the Powder River Basin, Haynesville Shale, Utica Shale, and Marcellus Shale.
Long-Term Tax Advantaged Income
For all investors, approximately 15% of the gross income is tax free as a result of the Depletion Deduction under current tax code provisions. Depletion will be allocated amongst the investors based upon their interest in partnership revenues.
Risk Management
While the Sponsor maintains significant safeguards, procedures and policies to protect investors against potential general partner and operational risks, in the unlikely event that there was ever a claim against the partnership, the Sponsor provides the following layers of investor protection: Insurance with effective umbrella limits of $50,000,000 Joint Venture Parter Assets and Insurance (if there is a JV partner), Sub Contractor Assets and Insurance, automatic conversion from General Partner to Limited Partner Status, Partnership Assets and Managing General Partner Indemnification. There can, however, be no assurance that the managing general partner's assets, including it's liquid assets, will be sufficient to satisfy its indemnification obligations.
Presentment Feature
This investment is not intended to be a liquid investment and is intended for long-term investors only. However, investors have the ability, subject to certain limitations, to present their investment in the partnership to the Sponsor for purchase starting January 1, 2029. The managing general partner may suspend its repurchase obligation if it determines that it does not have the necessary cash flow or cannot borrow funds for this purpose on terms it deems reasonable.
