FAQ

Phoenix Capital Group is a fast-growing oil and gas company with three key revenue streams: mineral rights royalties, non-operated working interest revenues, and direct oil and gas production revenue. Our operational success, particularly in regions like the Williston Basin, has established us as a formidable player in the energy sector​​.

Phoenix Capital Group has seen rapid growth, with revenue doubling year-over-year for three consecutive years. In 2024 alone, the company is on track to generate $280-$290 million in revenue, supported by strong operational performance, including record-breaking drilling in the Williston Basin​​.

Phoenix employs a hedging strategy to protect against fluctuations in oil prices. As of September 30, 2024, the company had over 2.5 million barrels hedged at a weighted-average price of $66.83, providing security against significant market price fluctuations. Phoenix estimates its corporate breakeven cost is between $45 and $50 per barrel.

Phoenix has positioned itself as one of the most efficient operators in the Williston Basin, breaking drilling speed records and competing with major companies like Chord, Hess and Conoco. Our efficient operations have helped us climb 38 positions to become the 17th most prolific operator in North Dakota as of September 30, 2024​.

As of September 30, 2024, Phoenix plans to bring 21 additional wells online by the end of the year, increasing our total number of newly drilled three-mile wells to 31. This continued expansion of our production capabilities will further increase revenue and solidify our position as a leading operator in the oil and gas industry​.

Phoenix’s debt-to-EBITDA ratio was reduced from 19x in 2023 to 6x by mid-2024, and it is expected to reach 3x by the end of 2025. This reduction reflects the company’s rapid growth and improving financial health as we continue to scale our operations and turn investment dollars raised into revenue, which is typically on a 6-18 month lag​​ from investment into Phoenix to revenue generation.

Phoenix is unique because we integrate mineral rights acquisition, non-operated working interests, direct oil and gas production, and direct to consumer investments under one roof. This multi-revenue stream and industry-leading capitalization method allows us a significant competitive advantage over industry participants who only participate in one or a couple segments.

As of September 30, 2024, Phoenix is involved in four open lawsuits, which is typical for companies in competitive industries like oil and gas – in all four lawsuits Phoenix is the plaintiff. Importantly, three of these lawsuits are to protect Phoenix against defamation and anti-competitive practices from competitors​, who we’ve uncovered numerous instances of business interference and deceptive tortious interference, typically hiding behind phony email addresses to hide their unsavory and embarrassing activities. These lawsuits are essential to protect the company and its investors from bad actors who can’t compete legitimately against our business.

Phoenix has demonstrated fiscal responsibility by consistently delivering on its commitments to investors. As of September 30, 2024, the company has paid over $100 million in interest (including $82.7 million paid to bondholders and $18.6 million paid to lenders who are also investors in the company), even during challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic​. Even though past performance doesn’t guarantee the same results in the future, we feel our data driven acquisition strategy, conservative business model, robust hedging program, and excellent operational performance thus far, will allow us to keep meeting our obligations in the future.

As a leading oil and gas mineral rights acquisition, investment firm, and operated working interest company, we are able to assume a degree of additional risk that most mineral owners are unwilling or unable to take on. The strength of our portfolio allows us (and our clients) to reap the rewards of this valuable yet volatile asset class.

By taking a working interest in wells, we are doing more than simply leasing your acreage – we take on all the risks associated with the investment rather than simply collecting royalties.

In many cases, the answer is yes. If you have inherited a portion of an estate’s mineral rights you can sell or lease this to a 3rd party without the consent of other heirs. An exception to this is when you and others are named as equal trustees in a family estate.

Absolutely. When you sell already-leased mineral rights to a third party, they simply assume the terms of the existing lease.

You are under no obligation to sell your mineral rights in their entirety. In many cases, people opt to sell or lease a portion of the mineral rights and maintain ownership of the rest.

Phoenix Capital Group focuses on Mineral Interest, Leasehold Interest, Overriding Royalty Interests, and Perpetual Royalty Interests. For more information on these terms, click here or schedule a free consultation.

Oil and gas royalties are taxed at the ordinary income tax rate, which is among the highest possible. Sale proceeds, on the other hand, are taxed as capital gains and capped at 15%. As your partners, we will gladly work with you (and/or your CPA) to help lower your tax obligations as much as possible.

There can be. As mentioned above, the proceeds from a mineral rights sale will be taxed as capital gains rather than ordinary income. Compared to the taxes on royalties, sale proceeds are taxed at a much lower rate. Another potential tax advantage is the ability to make a strategically planned installment sale and/or defer payments.

An installment sale allows you to sell an asset and receive payments spread across subsequent years. This IRS-approved tactic allows you to strategically claim capital gains taxes across multiple tax years while also collecting interest on the deferred portions of the sale.

The specific timeframe varies on a case-by-case basis, but the answer is always ‘not forever’. Oil production declines steeply at the start of a well’s life and then continues to slowly decline. Eventually, the cost of extraction will be greater than the value of the minerals.
