The Oklahoma STACK Play: A Rich Place for Oil & Gas Investments

When it comes to oil drilling investments, there have been a few iconic locations. Spindletop, for example, is one of the most famous oil fields in American history, singlehandedly starting the Texas oil boom and contributing to the rise of the United States as a world leader in oil production.
 
Identifying and taking advantage of areas that promise these kinds of rich productivity can enable accredited investors to enjoy the near-term cash returns and long-term profitability possible through oil and gas investments. It is for this reason that oil companies and investors have been flocking to the Oklahoma STACK Play for the last several years, as the area's rich oil and gas reserves have been unlocked by new oil field technology and the resources it has tapped.
 
If you have heard about the Oklahoma STACK Play and want to know more, or if you are considering taking advantage of Redhawk's current investment opportunity in the area, what follows is a look at the Play and what it offers to accredited investors.
 
What is the Oklahoma STACK Play?
The Oklahoma STACK Play and the similar SCOOP Play are large blanket areas of oil-bearing shale zones within the state of Oklahoma that contain reserves of crude oil and condensate (oil that is in a gaseous state underground but which condenses into a liquid form when brought to the surface).
 
The acronym STACK stands for Sooner Trend Anadarko Canadian and Kingfisher, which are descriptive terms identifying the area as an oil field located primarily in Canadian and Kingfisher Counties (though the Play also encompasses a number of other counties in Oklahoma). The acronym also refers to the multiple layers of pay zones stacked like pancakes one on top of another in the region.
 
The area, in the last few years, has become a hot spot of alternative or unconventional drilling and a profitable location for numerous oil and gas investments including drilling and mineral rights acquisitions.
 
What is the history of the oil and gas investments in the Oklahoma STACK Play?
While interest and activity in the Oklahoma STACK Play has increased over the last few years, the area is not new to U.S. oil investments. Instead, the location had earlier been drilled using conventional methods for many prior years.
 
Driving the current excitement about the area has been the application of new drilling methods (such as horizontal drilling) that enable oil companies to retrieve large amounts of oil from this vastly rich field. For example, some horizontal wells already have produced 50 percent more oil than their vertical counterparts.

Why are oil and gas investments in the Oklahoma STACK Play so popular? 
Thanks to these new alternative drilling techniques, the number of rigs and the amount of activity in the area has increased over the last several years. There are now more than 100 rigs in operation and production rates that are at times 70 percent greater than initial rates. It is the renewed productivity within the Oklahoma STACK Play that is making oil and gas investments in this area so popular (and profitable).
 
The Oklahoma STACK Play is considered a desirable location for investing in U.S. oil, because of the potential of strong returns on investment even while oil prices are lower. This phenomenon is one of the factors that has driven the increase in production within the STACK Play even as other areas of drilling have seen production cease or decrease during seasons of low oil prices.
 
In part, this strong ROI capability is due to the sheer concentration of oil within the multi-stacked, blanketed shale zones that make up the Play. When tapped, these concentrated reserves produce more oil for longer than many other sites, all for less money than it would have taken to produce the same amount of oil elsewhere. When oil prices fall, oil companies and qualified investors are typically attracted to areas they know contain rich and obtainable reserves of oil (so as to reduce their risk and maximize their return on investment). The STACK Play has proven itself to be one of these areas.
 
Oil produced in the Play can be transported fairly easily and inexpensively because much of the Play is located near Cushing, OK., a major oil storage facilities and trading hub for crude oil. The combination of easily accessed oil, easy transportation, and relatively low taxes means that those investing in oil assets in this area can help achieve a higher ROI because of lower costs, even when oil prices are low.

How can Redhawk help investors take advantage of the oil and gas investment opportunities available in the Oklahoma STACK Play? 
At Redhawk, we are interested in providing accredited investors with direct investment opportunities intended to create near-term cash returns and a strong ROI. For example, direct oil drilling investments and mineral funds can achieve target yields of 20 percent or more while creating a low to moderate risk environment for investors.
 
One of the areas in which Redhawk offers these kinds of opportunities is the Oklahoma STACK Play. A recently closed offering, for example, allowed investors to participate in a mineral fund, acquiring mineral rights ahead of industry leaders in oil and gas development. These mineral rights allow investors to enjoy earning lucrative lease bonuses and long-term royalty revenues available through the leasing and production of acquired mineral rights, without the risks associated with some oil drilling investments.
