Direct participation offers the investment partners more than a conventional capital investment. It is the acquisition of a claim to a share of proven oil and gas production commensurate with the value of the amount invested. The investment is either in verified, already developed and producing projects (so-called PDP projects) or in expansion drillings to an already producing field, but never in high-risk exploration. By investing in the projects of AMTEX Oil & Gas Inc. long-term, calculable returns will be earned.

Recently, AMTEX Oil & Gas Inc. has focused to a large extent on expansion drillings in the Barnett Shale formation in Wise County, Texas, and has developed a unique finance model. It appeals on the one hand to U.S. investors who, in the first instance, seek high, immediate tax write-offs and, on the other hand, to foreign capital investors who require negligible risks and are profit-orientated.

The AMTEX finance model provides for the group of U.S. investors to take the much bigger risk as they will finance all of the intangible drilling costs, whereas the group of foreign investors acquire the mineral rights (“lease”) and finance the completion. However, a well will only be completed after all participating partners, including independent geologists, found the drilling successful. Until such a time the majority of the foreign investors’ funds are kept in an interest-earning trust account.
