Our projects are meticulously structured and strategically developed to maximize returns while minimizing downside risk. By investing in a diversified portfolio of wells alongside Alpha Seven Energy (ASE), our interests are fully aligned with our investors—gaining direct asset ownership and securing valuable hydrocarbons at the source.
We conduct comprehensive feasibility studies and leverage cutting-edge technologies alongside proven drilling and completion techniques to optimize efficiency and maximize project success.
This disciplined and strategic approach helps to ensure strong performance, sustained value, and long-term growth while unlocking significant upside profit potential for our investors.
Selecting a project and drilling location, where our investors and ASE share co-ownership, involves a thorough evaluation of multiple critical factors, including:
Geological Mapping: Analyzing subsurface formations, stratigraphy, and reservoir characteristics.
Offset Well Data: Reviewing nearby wells' production history, pressure data, and reservoir properties.
Reservoir Evaluation: Assessing the type and quality of hydrocarbons to determine production potential.
Economic Viability: Targeting returns of 500% or greater, with a maximum capital payback period of 4 years.
Market Conditions: Evaluating oil and gas prices, demand trends, and transportation costs.
Regulatory Compliance: Securing necessary permits from state and federal agencies.
Environmental Impact: Conducting impact assessments and implementing mitigation strategies to ensure responsible development.
This comprehensive approach allows us to strategically select high-potential projects while mitigating risks and maximizing returns for our investors.
Once a drilling location has been selected, the next step is constructing the service road, followed by the drilling pad. This infrastructure ensures the safe transport, assembly, and operation of the rig and all necessary equipment. A drilling rig consists of several key components, including:
Mast: The tall, vertical structure that supports the drilling assembly.
Top Drive: The mechanism responsible for rotating the drill bit.
Doghouse: A designated space used as an office or storage area for tools and equipment.
This carefully planned setup facilitates efficient drilling operations while maintaining safety and operational integrity.
Once the drilling pad and access road are completed, and the rig has been transported and assembled on-site, the next phase is drilling the well. The duration of this process varies—shallow wells can be drilled relatively quickly, while deeper horizontal or fracked wells require significantly more time.
Our current strategy focuses on vertical wells with a measured depth of approximately 3,500 feet. These wells are typically fast to drill, taking about 7–10 days. From spudding to production, the entire process can be completed in as little as 4–5 weeks, allowing for a quicker transition to revenue generation.
Drilling the well is only one phase of the process—significant work remains before production can begin. A drilled well is essentially just a borehole penetrating a subsurface hydrocarbon formation. The completion process prepares it for production by reinforcing and securing the wellbore.
The first step is casing, where a steel pipe is inserted into the wellbore to prevent contamination from water or sand. Next, cementing is performed to fill the space between the casing and the wellbore, permanently securing the casing in place. Once the cement has set, the casing is perforated using small explosives, creating pathways for hydrocarbons to flow into the wellbore.
Finally, a production tree is installed at the surface, serving as the control point for extracting produced hydrocarbons. The video to your right showcases the completion of our first Seminole County well in Oklahoma (July 2020).
The final stage after well completion is the production phase, where the well is brought online for hydrocarbon extraction. This process typically involves installing a pumpjack, followed by testing and fine-tuning to optimize flow rates for maximum efficiency.
The adjacent image showcases our completed ASE 1 well. The pumpjack extracts oil through the production tree and transfers it to holding tanks (visible in the image) for storage before being transported by truck. Meanwhile, any produced natural gas is directed into our pipeline for distribution.
