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, those
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
intentionally 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 fortuitously and publicly 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, indeed, when offered, focused almost all
of its sponsored drilling/production partnerships on oil wells in
Texas. 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; and
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 lower risk, development
drilling/rework/production programs which include significant tax
benefits. When sponsored, such programs 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.
