Why Invest Directly Into an Oil and Gas Project?

There are distinct advantages to investing directly into an oil and gas project as opposed to buying stock in a public company:

Such an investment enables the investor to be engaged more directly, since his funds are allocated to a small number of wells. With public oil companies even significant drilling successes tend to be highly diluted at the individual shareholder level.
Profit potential due to price increases in oil and gas is significantly higher through a direct investment due to fewer administrative layers.
Such projects have a record of making potentially substantial profits for investors, particularly through International Energy Network. Our costs to conduct the research necessary to exclude unpromising or high-risk projects have been incurred before offering new ventures, so the investor is only engaging in projects with a high probability of success. For public companies, the costs of researching what are ultimately unprofitable projects are reflected in the net return to stockholders.
