About Aztec Oil & Gas, Inc.
Aztec is an experienced oil and gas exploration, development and
production company focusing on Texas, plus other areas of the U.S. Its
interests are highly diversified between development drilling and
exploration drilling; however, when it, intermittently, offers
drilling/production partnerships, Aztec focuses primarily on
Texas shallow, lower risk,
development and step out oil wells. When offered, such
programs/partnerships are placed, with accredited investor
partners, only through FINRA registered Broker Dealers, and
Registered Investment Advisors; and, are focused primarily on oil,
with natural gas normally being the secondary target of
production.
Aztec has been in the oil/gas business since 2004, and entered
the sponsored drilling program industry in 2006. Over the
next two and one half years, beginning in late 2006, Aztec
restricted itself to only three small, very limited Appalachian,
natural gas drilling partnerships. Such was done in order to give
the firm time to study and become fully familiar with the nuances
of the sponsored drilling program industry before expanding to the
Company's full capabilities. In the summer of 2008, Aztec
announced it was discontinuing any natural gas drilling in
Appalachia, and was ready to substantially expand its sponsored
drilling program activities, along with its other activities,
primarily for oil in Texas.
Since 2008, Aztec has focused almost all of its sponsored
drilling/production partnerships on oil wells in Texas when the programs are offered. In
addition to its early, initial three small Appalachian natural gas
drilling partnerships mentioned above Aztec has, intermittently,
sponsored and closed a significant number of other
drilling/production partnerships (all of the latter, as stated,
focused primarily on drilling for oil in Texas). Aztec Energy LLC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Aztec Oil & Gas Inc., is the Managing General
Partner of all Aztec drilling partnerships. Another wholly-owned
Aztec parent company subsidiary, Aztec Drilling & Operating,
LLC, is the drilling contractor and contractual well operator for
such partnerships. Through its own participation,
contributions and coverage, Aztec owns a 30% interest in all of its
drilling/production partnerships. In general clarification of
its activities, in addition to its own direct corporate
participations in industry partner wells, Aztec sometimes sponsors
development drilling/rework/production programs/partnerships which
include significant tax benefits. When sponsored, such
programs/partnerships are offered only through FINRA Registered
Broker Dealers and Registered Investment Advisors to Accredited
Investors. Aztec's sponsored drilling/rework/production
programs, when offered, focus primarily on shallow oil/gas
drilling, are considered unique, and also incorporate a
sophisticated exit strategy for investors. Aztec presently has
interests in approximately 400 wells.
