Advanta IRA Hosts Nationwide Webinar: Invest in Oil and Gas Using a Self-Directed IRA
(PRWEB) November 12, 2014 -- The IRS permits self-directed IRA holders the option to invest in non-traditional assets such as oil and gas. AdvantaIRA Trust is holding a national webinar on November 13 to further educate investors on how their IRAs can invest in oil and gas projects.
A self-directed IRA is a plan that allows investors to invest in many alternative assets such as real estate, promissory notes, private stock, private mortgages, and oil and gas. Investors should be aware of two types of ownership when investing in oil and gas with a self-directed retirement account, working interests versus royalty interests. Working interest investors own participating, or lessee interests in land and pay capital expenses, operating costs, and royalties to the mineral title owner. Investors in oil and gas working interests incur all of the costs and liabilities, but share in only part of the revenue. If the drilling project results in a successful oil or gas well, the lessor receives a share of the revenue based on the wells production. If the drilling is not successful, the working interest owners will not receive any revenues. In addition, the working interest owners are responsible for 100 percent of the drilling costs and plugging the abandoned well.
A royalty oil and gas interest owner has the benefit of sharing in production revenue, without having to be responsible for capital costs, operating expenses and environmental liabilities. When compared to working interests in oil and gas production, royalty interests have much less risk and significantly higher netbacks. Oil and gas royalty investments have several attractive qualities including potential returns, lack of maintenance and an unwavering demand for these products.
“Technological advances in drilling have opened up future oil and gas reserves,” says Dave Owens, managing partner of AdvantaIRA Trust, “As a result, the United States oil and gas industry is experiencing unprecedented production growth.” Like all investments there are certain risks that need to be considered so it is important to do due diligence before making any investment and to always consult with a tax advisor or CPA for advice. Self-directed retirement plans that can hold oil and gas projects include traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SIMPLE plans, SEP plans, and 401(k)s.
