  1. Ebele Kemery - Investing In Oil and Natural Gas Exploration You can stand to make a substantial profit when you invest in oil and natural gas exploration. There is a difference between the two, although both create tax benefits when you invest in domestic exploration and both have the potential for reaping you a huge profit if the well produces either oil or natural gas. There is a need more than ever to find oil and natural gas on the domestic front. The United States imports 70 percent of its oil from other countries. Most Americans realize that this is not a good idea as it not only takes away jobs, but keeps us bound to the prices that are set by other nations for this commodity that we find necessary to run our cars and heat our homes. For this reason, the government is very friendly towards domestic oil and natural gas exploration. There are tax benefits that are afforded to these types of investments that are not offered to other investments. There is also the potential for a high return on your money if the drilling is successful. Some wells contain just oil while others contain natural gas. Some contain both. When you are investing in oil and natural gas exploration, you should be sure that you will make money if the well turns up either. Investing in natural gas and oil exploration domestically involves giving money to a company that will drill in a certain location to find oil or natural gas. The company should not go out and blindly start drilling; they should have studies that indicate why they should drill in a certain location. Wells that are discovered upon blind drilling are called wildcat wells and although they can end up netting millions for a lucky investor, this is a rare occurrence. It happens on TV more than in real life. In real life, most people are not as lucky as Jed Clampett. Not many people find oil in their backyard.

  2. You should be familiar with the areas of the country where drilling is taking place and where there is the greatest potential to find oil. The United States is filled with natural reserves, such as oil and natural gas. Natural gas is a very valuable commodity and is plentiful in the United States. It produces a cleaner form of energy. Companies that drill for oil also drill for natural gas as well. If your well in which you invest has both, you can be looking at enormous profits that will bring you a steady cash flow for years to come. The capital gains that you incur for this profit also have tax breaks as the commodity does not only benefit you and the company, but the entire country. Investing in oil and natural gas exploration can get you tax benefits even if the well is dry. Many people invest for a loss so that they can write off the investment and fall into a lower tax bracket. Even if you lose, you can win when investing in domestic oil and natural gas exploration.
