Takeaways
There are three common ways to invest in the oil and gas industry: working interest, mineral rights, and pipeline investments.
Investors should conduct proper due diligence by talking to other partners or investors and reviewing rate of return sheets.
Ongoing costs in oil and gas investments vary depending on the type of investment, with mineral rights having no additional costs and working interest potentially requiring capital calls.
Governmental changes, such as new regulations or policies, can impact investments in the oil and gas sector, but the industry tends to be resilient regardless of political factors.
Common myths and misconceptions about investing in oil and gas include the belief that it is only related to gasoline and the misconception that alternative energy sources will eliminate the need for oil and gas.
Experts predict a positive future for the oil and gas industry, with expectations of increasing oil prices and opportunities for investors to position themselves for potential growth.
