West Union Oil Field Project

The West Union Oil Project, a fully funded 50-well conventional oil and gas development in Steuben County, New York, showcases our expertise in high-yield, low-risk investments. Adjacent to the 400-well Beech Hill/Independence Oil Field, this project is actively drilling, using multi-zone completion techniques to maximize hydrocarbon recovery from seven formations. With wells at $165,000 each—versus $8–12 million for shale wells—it highlights our cost-effective, high-return approach. Discover West Union and our latest multi-well projects to see how we create value for investors.

No shale fracking. Vertical drilling. Shallow reservoirs, proven production.

Amid U.S. oil and gas market challenges, our projects excel in New York’s stable, regulated environment. Targeting shallow reservoirs with less than 200,000 gallons of frac fluid per well, we ensure strong cash flows without shale’s high costs or environmental complexity. West Union reflects our history of success in proven regions.

• Cost-Effective: Each of the 50 wells costs $165,000, with the $8.25 million project fully funded, covering lease, infrastructure, drilling, and facilities—far below $8–12 million per shale well.
• Proven Reserves: Targets seven formations—Bradford Second, Penny, Fulmer Valley, Kane, Upper Wiscoy, Lower Wiscoy, Nunda—between 700 and 1,800 feet, with 75 feet of net pay. Nearby wells average 1,680 barrels oil and 5,071 MCF gas annually from one zone.
• Multi-Well Advantage: 50 wells with 16 frac stages each maximize hydrocarbons and reduce risk versus single-well projects, outperforming single-zone wells with higher yields.
• Robust Data: Wells like Exchange O&G #6 (14 barrels/day, 37 years) and regional production since 1883 confirm potential. Our 1,500+ wells in the area ensure reliability.
• Efficient Execution: “Cookie-cutter” drilling completes wells in one week, with pipelines and roads nearby for efficient delivery.
• Rapid ROI: Projects 100% ROI in 10 months and 200% in 32 months at $100/bbl oil, with 20+ year production, unlike shale’s rapid declines.
• Regulatory Compliance: Uses under 200,000 gallons of frac fluid per well, below New York’s 300,000-gallon limit, avoiding shale restrictions.
• Sustainable: Shallow reservoirs minimize environmental impact, meeting New York’s strict standards.

About the West Union Oil Project

The West Union Oil Project is a flagship multi-well development in Steuben County, New York, targeting seven Devonian sandstone formations renowned for consistent yields since 1883. Each of the 50 wells uses multi-zone fraccing (16 stages) at depths of 700–1,800 feet, producing more than historical single-zone wells. The $8.25 million project offered 100% Working Interest and 75% Net Revenue Interest (NRI) before and after payout, ensuring strong cash flows. Oil is sold at WTI prices, gas at NYMEX prices to National Fuel Gas, and condensate separately, diversifying revenue.

Historical Context: The Beech Hill/Independence Oil Field has over 400 wells, with continuous drilling for 20+ years despite price crashes, reflecting economic resilience. Past wells, like Exchange O&G #6 (37 years of production), and our 1,500+ wells in the region highlight our expertise.

Status: Drilling is underway, with wells completed in one week. Low dry hole rate (<1%) and infrastructure proximity ensure efficiency. Unlike shale’s high costs, West Union’s conventional approach offers 20+ years of production.
