Project Description
EB5 Energy Fund I, LP is financing the horizontal redevelopment of proven oil and gas wells in Oklahoma's Anadarko Basin — one of North America's most productive hydrocarbon basins, continuously operating since the 1920s. The project targets wells with established reserves. Rather than exploring for new oil, the program applies horizontal drilling techniques to extract more hydrocarbons from formations that have already been producing for decades. This approach materially reduces geological risk compared to exploratory drilling. All eight well locations have received state drilling approvals. Dual rig pads are complete, recasing is underway, and horizontal drilling commences May 2026 under a two-rig program completing two wells per month. Oil and gas production is expected to begin approximately 30 days after each well's completion. EB5 Energy targets repayment of each investor's $800,000 at 36 months from the date the first funds from their class are deployed into drilling — repaid by production cash flow and a bank facility secured against the program's operating wells. Investors who file their I-526E petition before October 1, 2026 are covered by the EB-5 grandfathering clause, ensuring adjudication before the program's September 30, 2027 expiration.
Repayment cannot be guaranteed. All investments carry risk, including potential loss of capital.
Why Invest
EB5 Energy offers investors the immigration benefits of a rural TEA project — reduced $800,000 minimum investment, visa set-asides, and priority USCIS processing. The project has received I-956F exemplar approval, and investor I-526E petitions have been approved with zero denials to date. Investors who file before October 1, 2026 are protected by the EB-5 grandfathering clause. From an investment standpoint, EB5 Energy targets wells with established oil reserves in a formation that has been producing for over 100 years — eliminating exploration risk. Horizontal drilling in the Mississippi Lime formation extracts substantially more hydrocarbons from proven reservoirs than traditional vertical wells. Oil and gas production begins approximately 30 days after drilling, with investor capital targeted for repayment at 36 months from the date the first funds from the investor's group are deployed into the project.
Time-Sensitive
Investors who file their I-526E petition before October 1, 2026 are protected by the EB-5 grandfathering clause, ensuring their petition is adjudicated before the program's September 30, 2027 expiration. Investors who file after this date lose that protection. The program's two-rig operation is designed to complete all 8 wells and deploy all capital before this deadline.
Proven Oil and Gas Reserves
The project focuses exclusively on wells with proven reserves — resources already identified with established production history. By targeting proven reservoirs, the project avoids exploration risk and relies on assets with a demonstrated production track record.
Horizontal Drilling in the Anadarko Basin
The wells in this program have already been producing oil and gas as vertical wells. Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing in the Mississippi Lime formation re-enters these same proven reservoirs and extracts substantially more hydrocarbons than the original vertical configuration. This means the program is not drilling into unknown geology — it is applying modern technology to formations with a documented production history. Production rates are materially higher than traditional vertical wells, accelerating the timeline to revenue.
USCIS Approval and Projected Job Creation
The project has received I-956F exemplar approval from USCIS, and investor I-526E petitions have been approved with zero denials to date. Job creation is directly linked to drilling expenditures, which follow a well-established methodology under USCIS economic analysis. The program has modeled 320 qualifying jobs against the 250 required — a 28% cushion above the minimum threshold.
Secured Mineral Rights and Permits
State drilling approvals for all eight wells have been secured, and well drilling permits are approved or ready for submission. Dual rig pads are complete and recasing is underway. The program is positioned to commence horizontal drilling in May 2026 without regulatory delay.
Proven Oil & Gas and EB-5 Expertise
The operating team has drilled more than 3,000 wells and brings decades of petroleum engineering and geology expertise specific to the Anadarko Basin. EB5 Energy's leadership has direct EB-5 program experience, supporting both operational execution and ongoing immigration compliance.
Three-Year Repayment Horizon
Oil and gas production begins approximately 30 days after drilling. Real estate and construction-based EB-5 deals typically require 4–5 years to complete and another 1–2 years to repay investors, dependent on project completion, lease-up, and refinancing. EB5 Energy targets repayment at 36 months. Investors receive 50% of NCE net profit distributions after all investor classes have been fully repaid.
Project Features
Repayment Structure
EB5 Energy targets return of each investor's $800,000 at 36 months from the date the first funds from the investor's class are deployed into the project. Repayment is funded by production cash flow and a bank facility secured against the program's operating wells — not from a refinance, sale, or new capital raise. After full capital recovery, investors receive 50% of NCE net profit distributions after all investor classes have been fully repaid.
Immigration Benefits
The project holds I-956F exemplar approval from USCIS — the highest level of project-level clearance available. Investor I-526E petitions have been approved with zero denials to date. As a rural TEA project, investors qualify for set-aside visas and priority processing, with the option to file I-526E and I-485 concurrently — enabling work authorization and travel permission while the petition is pending. Investors who file before October 1, 2026 are protected by the EB-5 grandfathering clause, ensuring adjudication before the program's September 30, 2027 expiration.
Proven Reserves, Reduced Risk
The program targets wells with established oil and gas reserves in the Mississippi Lime formation — a reservoir that has been producing in the Anadarko Basin for over 100 years. Rather than exploring for new oil, horizontal drilling extracts substantially more hydrocarbons from proven formations already producing from vertical wells on this acreage. This approach eliminates exploration risk and relies entirely on assets with a documented production history.
Use of Funds
EB-5 capital is deployed from the NCE into the JCE to fund horizontal drilling and completion of proven oil and gas wells in the Anadarko Basin. All expenditures are directly tied to job creation under USCIS economic methodology.
Job Creation
The program has modeled 320 qualifying jobs against the 250 required — a 28% cushion above the minimum threshold. Jobs are calculated from drilling expenditures using the IMPLAN input-output model, a USCIS-accepted methodology. The economic impact analysis was prepared by Vermillion Consulting.
Location
The program's wells are located in the Weaver Unit, Major County, Oklahoma — within the Anadarko Basin, one of North America's most productive and longest-operating hydrocarbon basins, continuously producing since the 1920s. Existing pipeline and processing infrastructure is already in place, reducing development cost and time to market. State drilling approvals are in place for all eight wells.
Management
Spire Asset Management leads operations, bringing over 40 years of oil and gas experience and more than 3,000 wells drilled across North America. The team has specialized knowledge of the Mississippi Lime formation and deep operational experience in the Anadarko Basin, supported by petroleum engineering, geology, and field operations expertise.
Risk Factors
Primary risks include oil price volatility and drilling execution. Price risk is mitigated by a $32/bbl breakeven against a $60/bbl base case — a $28 margin of safety. If oil prices are lower than the base case, repayment may be delayed but full capital recovery is expected as long as prices remain above the $32 breakeven. Execution risk is reduced by targeting wells with proven reserves, with all state drilling approvals already secured and a management team with 3,000+ wells of direct experience.
