Characteristics of an Attractive Oil Investment

There are definite project criteria IEN considers before contracting with any operators and/or recommending any investment:

It is located in:
- A politically and economically stable country.
- An area where there is considerable industry infrastructure in place such as pipelines, servicing companies, experts, etc.
- An area where there is a strong local demand for the oil and gas product.
- A tax-friendly environment.
- An area where there are a number of high-quality, long-established, often family-owned oil companies.
- An area of KNOWN oil and gas drilling success.
- An area where there are consistent, and to a fair degree, predictable levels of production and services from drilling activity.
There is a ready supply of available personnel for servicing such investment activities.
There is an effective and reliable EXIT STRATEGY. Most investors do not wish to be tied into an investment for 10 years or 20 years. They prefer to sell their assets after a much shorter time frame in order to liquidate holdings and crystallise their profits. IEN has a program in place to provide such an EXIT STRATEGY.
