Past Oklahoma Oil & Gas Wells

Building a footprint in Oklahoma’s STACK & SCOOP

At Thoroughbred Ventures, we believe that tangible assets are the cornerstone of real wealth. Since 2010, the company has helped accredited investors participate in world‑class oil and gas projects that would otherwise be difficult to access. Our team bridges the gap between investors and proven public operators, offering exposure to the prolific STACK and SCOOP plays in Oklahoma.

When commodity prices dipped in 2015, we seized the opportunity to acquire acreage at attractive costs. By partnering with respected operators like Marathon Oil, Continental Resources, and Devon Energy, on dozens of wells across Kingfisher, Custer, Canadian, Garvin, Caddo, Grady and Stephens counties, we positioned our investors in some of the most productive portions of the region and built a foundation for consistent cash flow, significant tax deductions, and lasting value.

The KEM Ranch Benchmark

The KEM Ranch 1‑24‑25XH well was drilled in partnership with Marathon Oil. This horizontal well in Grady County recorded an initial 24‑hour production rate of 723 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and 13,989 thousand cubic feet per day (MCFPD). It produced more than 254,723.61 barrels of oil and 6,594,737 MCF of natural gas by early 2021.

Selecting Multi‑Well Pads

In 2016, TBV participated in the Anita Fowler 1‑27X26 well, which was drilled from a multi‑section spacing unit in the STACK play. The well posted an initial peak production of 445 BOPD and 18,555 MCFPD; as of mid‑2022, it had produced 139,009 barrels of oil and 11.946 billion cubic feet of natural gas.

Hale 1 and Hale 2

In mid‑2022, TBV announced two new infill wells from the same pad as the Anita Fowler 1‑27X26 well. Hale 1 and Hale 2 had much larger initial rates of 1,081 BOPD and 22,169 MCFPD and 922 BOPD and 22,871 MCFPD, respectively. These wells were among the largest in company history, and the improved market conditions made exploration and exploitation particularly attractive. Using data from previous wells and adjusting frac designs increased production, while multi‑well pad sites lowered capital costs and enhanced returns.

The success of Hale 1 and Hale 2 underscores TBV’s strategy of drilling multiple wells from a single pad. By leveraging geologic data and optimized completion techniques, we maximize recovery from each spacing unit and reduce risk. These high‑performing infill wells also provide valuable data that can be applied to future wells.

Focus on Grady County

While TBV participates in wells across several Oklahoma counties, its top five producing wells are all located in Grady County near the KEM Ranch field. The region’s over‑pressured Meramec shale has delivered some of the most consistent and prolific wells in the STACK play.

TBV’s decision to build a position in this area was based on extensive well‑performance data and the belief that the play remained economic even at lower oil prices. These Grady County assets validate the firm’s strategy of concentrating on proven areas and partnering with experienced operators.

A Disciplined Approach to Energy Investment

Our long‑term success is built on a disciplined investment philosophy. We align with reputable operators and concentrate on regions with high production potential. Modern drilling and completion technologies, along with a focus on developmental rather than the exploratory drilling of wells, has reduced risk and increased the probability of superior returns.

TBV also helps investors take advantage of the unique tax benefits available to oil and gas projects: intangible drilling and completion cost deductions in the past have allowed up to 90% of percent of well expenses to be written off in the first year, and 15 percent of gross production can be received tax-free.

Looking Ahead

Because energy assets have a low correlation with traditional stock market investments, our offerings add diversification and inflation protection to a portfolio. By carefully screening projects and managing costs, we deliver strong cash flow and long‑term value while minimizing risk.

TBV’s past yields are more than just a record of what has been achieved; they are a preview of what is possible. By thoroughly evaluating and acquiring acreage, partnering with major operators, and developing multi‑well pads, we have built a portfolio of Oklahoma oil and gas projects that consistently deliver strong performance.

The success of KEM Ranch 1‑24‑25XH paved the way for a new five‑well pad, while the Anita Fowler and Hale wells demonstrate how refining completion techniques and leveraging detailed geological data can dramatically enhance returns.

As drilling activity accelerates, TBV is positioned to participate in the next generation of high‑impact wells. Investors who join us will benefit from attractive cash flow, robust tax incentives, and the confidence that comes from partnering with a team that knows how to turn opportunity into results.
