Oil investment can be a lucrative way to expand your investment portfolio if you know how to get started and who to trust. Doing your research and understanding the risks and benefits, tax advantages, market changes and location potential will help you make the best investment decision when entering the oil industry.
What tax benefits does it offer?
Investing in any market can benefit you in various ways when it comes time to file and claim taxes. The construction of the well and drill has many costs including surveying the land, clearing the land, establishing worker salaries, generalized materials, drilling chemicals, grease and much more. Every bit of this falls under the intangible drilling costs category and is deductible in the same year it was incurred. If you are in the 40% tax bracket, the intangible drilling costs could return a tax savings of tens of thousands of dollars in the first year.
Is oil drill investing for everyone?
In short, no it is most certainly not a good choice for just anyone. Large corporations may choose to invest in multiple established drills or fund new exploration with their eyes on the goal of hitting it big. Many new sources of oil are still out there, no one knows exactly where yet! As with any investment, there are risks involved and people can lose money – but for the ones who put in the research and understand the market, they stand to make a very sizeable return on their investments. Buying stock or shares in barrels of oil has been the “go-to” investment for starting in the industry, but more and more people are realizing the benefits to going straight to the source to earn a larger return.
Keeping abreast of market changes.
The prices on barrels of oil change often depending on supply and demand, new drilling operations, and sources that have run dry. As such, you need to be prepared to stay up to date on changes with the prices on barrels. This can quickly turn into a headache if you miss the tiny window at which to sell your shares, or purchase additional ones. Investing in the drill directly means you don’t have to keep an eagle-eye on the market fluctuations; you can go about your business and let the drill do all the work. Once a drill is built and established, most investors are seeing a return within 100 days.
