This rural EB-5 project focuses on re-drilling previously developed oil wells using horizontal drilling techniques in Oklahoma—an area confirmed by experts to hold significant oil and gas reserves. Benefiting from Oklahoma’s favorable regulations and robust infrastructure, the project is well-positioned for efficient operations. Each well is drilled over two months, followed by oil production and revenue generation. The project is supported by a highly experienced team in both the oil industry and EB-5 investments.
EB5 Energy offers a rare combination of fast capital repayment, clear profit participation, and priority visa processing, all backed by a proven asset class: U.S. oil and gas production. As a USCIS-approved rural project, EB5 Energy qualifies for reserved visa set-asides and accelerated petition processing. Our projected 3-year repayment timeline stands in contrast to the 5–7 years typical of many EB-5 real estate offerings. The structure is simple. Wells are drilled and producing within 60 days, generating revenue quickly. Investors remain limited partners even after capital is returned, continuing to earn a 35% share of project profits. In today’s environment—marked by rising construction costs, supply chain constraints, and policy uncertainty—oil and gas provides a practical alternative. Drilling requires few materials, most already on hand. Operating costs remain low, with a break-even point below $30 per barrel, and investment performance is tied to transparent, real-time commodity prices like WTI crude and natural gas. Unlike complex real estate projects that rely on stabilization and refinancing to exit, EB5 Energy’s approach is direct and measurable. Combined with significant tax advantages and a team experienced in both energy operations and EB-5 compliance, this offering is designed to deliver clarity, speed, and long-term value to investors.
One of the U.S.’s most prolific oil regions, with an estimated 1.8 billion barrels of undiscovered oil and 11.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The basin has been one of the most prolific oil and gas producing regions in the United States with an estimated undiscovered 1.8 billion barrels of oil, and 11.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
Advanced drilling techniques significantly enhance production rates by exposing a greater portion of the reservoir. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, typically extracts up to three times more oil and natural gas compared to the original vertical well, making it one of the most efficient recovery methods in the industry. This approach increases output and accelerates revenue.
Proven oil reserves represent quantities of oil that have already been discovered and are highly certain to be recoverable—at least a 90% likelihood—under current economic and technological conditions. This project focuses exclusively on reworking wells with these proven reserves, significantly reducing investment risk. Furthermore, the scalability of reworking numerous wells through advanced horizontal drilling techniques enhances production reliability and ensures consistent returns for investors.
The project accommodates 25 to 150 investors, scaling job creation and profitability. With 25 investors, it creates an estimated 302 jobs (20% above USCIS requirements), and with 150 investors, approximately 2,232 jobs (50% above requirements). This ensures compliance while maximizing investor returns.
The project is designed to generate the bulk of its revenue within the first few years, with peak production occurring in the initial two years. This approach enables faster investor repayments while maintaining steady profitability over the long term.
The Trump administration’s focus on energy independence and domestic production fosters a supportive environment for oil and gas projects. Policies aimed at streamlining regulations, offering tax incentives, and reducing reliance on foreign energy are expected to encourage investment while enhancing project stability and profitability. Additionally, with the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve currently at near four-decade lows, replenishing stock levels could position the U.S. government as a significant buyer in the near future, further bolstering opportunities for domestic producers.
Based on production data from comparable horizontal wells in the region, each well in this project is estimated to yield up to 200,000 barrels of oil and 130 million cubic feet of gas over its operational lifetime—marking a significant improvement over what earlier vertical wells were able to produce.
Crude oil inventories are reaching historically low levels within the 5-year range, highlighting tighter supply conditions that support elevated prices.

Advisor Aric Cunningham offers four decades of global experience in geology and operations management. Rupy Cheema, EB5 Energy's Managing Partner, leverages over a decade of EB-5 industry experience as a leading due diligence analyst, ensuring compliance and investor trust. This team delivers both technical precision and investment readiness.
This EB-5 Offering was structured by Rupy Cheema with support from leading EB-5 professionals, including Vermilion Consulting, Jackson Walker, Trident Trust, Customers Bank, and EB5 Marketplace. The offering is sponsored by Mid-America Rural Regional Center.
Approved by USCIS on September 3, 2024. This designation means the project has met EB-5 eligibility requirements, eliminating the risk of petition denial based on the project itself. Investors need only demonstrate the lawful source and path of their investment funds.
This rural designation qualifies the project for priority processing, helping all petitioners receive faster adjudication. It is especially beneficial for investors born in China, India, and Vietnam, who can avoid long visa wait times through reserved visa set-asides.
Investor capital is expected to be repaid within 3 years, supported by our production schedule and current commodity pricing.
Investor capital is repaid before management profits. While the project may raise debt in the future, EB-5 investors hold repayment priority within the partnership structure.
EB-5 investors receive 35% of project profits after capital is repaid—a rare structure in the EB-5 market. The project is designed for simplicity and resilience, avoiding global supply chain risks and offering greater transparency than traditional real estate investments.
EB5 Energy aligns with national priorities to increase domestic oil production and energy independence. With bipartisan support and the President’s stated goal of replenishing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the project benefits from a favorable policy environment that supports long-term viability.
