Buy an Oil Well?

by James & Miel on June 30, 2009 · 48 comments

Hi All,

I was reading Loral Langemier a couple of weeks back. She’s a big advocate of direct investing in business opportunities like self storage, rental real estate and oil wells.

The idea of buying an oil well got me intrigued. So I started looking around on-line. Some small wells can be had for around $150,000 to $200,000. This type of business works based on how much oil/natural gas, etc. you can get out of the ground. The sizzle is that wells can be extremely profitable, especially when gas prices are high.

Since we don’t have $150,000 to $200,000 in cash lying around, this is probably going to be a project for 5 to 10 years down the road, but we’re definitely interested. It looks like a great money making opportunity that could allow us to significantly build our wealth.

Most wells appear to be sold by brokers, so if you want to cruise some of the listings check them out here.

Best,

James

Wow! I see just posting a article on oil wells, you tend to get a lot of spam

2 J. Money April 23, 2010 at 11:31 pm

Yeah I suppose so – you want some of it? ;)

Hi James & Miel,

Your article is an interesting and accurate one. However did you know you can also buy fractional ownership in leases, for as little as $25,000. They will give a passive income of approx $600/month at todays oil prices.
So if you or anyone is interested in learning more as to how you can get into oil well investment sooner rather than later, please feel free to contact me.

Have a great day.

Charlie

I am new to the business and I am trying to learn as much as possible before I decide to buy anything. If you could please contact me I would appreciate it.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Some basics on investing in oil

Hello Steven,

We have 2 concessions in the far east available for sale. Potential income is estimated at $36B and $40B respectively.The associated gas assets are massive and represent an additional potential income of billions of dollars per year. The profits are calculated by the $45 times the total volume of oil.

Once the conditions of introduction are met, the interested party will be given all the details and they can see the Geological studies and negotiate directly with the selling company. I have all this information digitally available from the geological survey for the blocks.

Potential buyers/investors can email me at : samsplacement@yahoo.co.uk

Hey i have a plan to make a water disposal well here in canada that can net me 40-60k a month! I am currently looking for invstors. I have 20 years in the canadian oil patch and have all the knowlegde needed to make this a sucessful operation. Future plans include another produced water disposal well and 5-10 oil wells new. Mail me for more info.

You can actually buy oil wells today for as little as $20,000. They are generally salvage type wells pumping a barrel or less a day. Key is to find one with a pay zone behind pipe that has not been produced. Not really as hard as you may think. Had a friend did one in December. Bought it for $20,000 put another $40,000 into it reworking it. In the first 9 months of this year it has netted about $100,000 and is still producing about 3.5 barrels per day or about $8,000 per month. Engineers estimated it worth over $300,000 today and should earn over $500,000 in the future. How’s that for a well? Did another in February, but didn’t hit the first back up pay. It took $50,000 follow up investment and resulted in well pumping over 50 barrels per day or $70,000 per month.

Brent,
your right and sounds like your buddy has experience. where does he operate? are you or he looking at doing anymore reworks, if so, would you be interested in a JV?

14 charlie Rushton November 10, 2010 at 2:56 pm

Royalty interests are also a very good way of getting into this sector. Low risk since you have no maintenace obligations, and they are very accessible. The key is to finding well run and maintained leases that show consistent steady production. This will provide regular monthly cashflow checks with no headaches. They can be acquired for as little as $5,000 and provide cashflow for many many years to come. The monthly amount is also tied to the price of oil so if the price goes up as it has done this month so do your monthly checks!!!!.
Providing you choose wisely, they are also easily resaleable should you need to raise capital quickly

Small and large royalty and working interests in producing wells in Canada. Stable economy and government. Very established fields. Assets were acquired in large purchase to be spilt up and sold in small pieces to individuals as investment vehicles. Very large potential for multiple horizon upside for near future development.
