Oil and gas investments can be a goldmine — but only if you know how to navigate the complexities. In this episode, Vinki Loomba sits down with expert Courtney Moeller to discuss strategies, risks, and the unique tax benefits of investing in this lucrative yet volatile sector.

Key Takeaways:

  • The State of the Oil and Gas Market: Despite political shifts and the “drill baby drill” mindset, Courtney explains why major oil operators aren’t ramping up production anytime soon. Infrastructure improvements are key before drilling can truly expand.
  • Tax Benefits of Oil and Gas Investments: Unlike other asset classes, oil and gas offers powerful tax incentives, including massive depreciation (up to 85% in the first year) and a depletion allowance that can save investors thousands in taxes.
  • Navigating Market Volatility: Oil prices are inherently volatile, but there are ways to mitigate risk. Courtney suggests focusing on projects with low break-even prices and working with experienced operators who can optimize production based on market conditions.
  • The Role of Due Diligence: Just as in real estate, thorough due diligence is critical in oil and gas. Whether partnering with major companies like Exxon or smaller operators, vetting the track record and history of operators is essential to a successful investment.
  • Mitigating Risks: While dry holes and market fluctuations pose risks, investing in mineral rights or partnering with experienced operators can reduce the likelihood of total loss and ensure long-term returns.
