21% Return With Investments in American Oil fields

The following post is a sponsored article to review a new investment opportunity of Viscount Resources. They plan to offer their clients a basic material investment opportunity within the Schwarz Oil Wells, an oil field in Illinois Basin.

I know that you are real dividend investors but some of you also like direct investments in oil and gas ventures. America experiences a big energy boom for the time being. There is a huge potential of exploring and drilling oil and shale gas within the United States. Railroads and Pipeline stocks have benefited from higher prices for delivering these energy products and the best is yet to come.

Oil and natural gas accounting for more than half of the world’s energy demand. Combined with coal, fossil fuels dominate the global energy consumption with a market share of around 87 percent. Why are they so dominant? It’s easy to explain: The humans don’t need to pay the price of production from fossil fuels. That’s a major competitive advantage compared to new energy sources like solar, biogas or even wind power.

Today I would like to introduce a company that has a great experience in research of investments within the basic material sector. Viscount Resources, based in Gibraltar, are experts in oil and gas investment management. The company plans to manage a drilling and exploring oil venture in Illinois and wants to purchase a license agreement in the Swartz Oil Wells, an area of 640 acres in the Dale Consolidated Oil Field, a known producing area in the Illinois Basin, USA.  The Project Coordinators, Sunset Oil and Gas LLC, along with Drilling Contractor, George N. Mitchell Drilling Inc, have many years of experience operating together within the Illinois Basin.

You can get a full overview about the partners of the project in the Viscount Swartz Brochure. The project offers a double-digit annual return and should run over a lifespan of around 20 years.

The investment opportunity:
-With a 10,000 GBP investment to generate 10 barrels a day (1.365% Share).
- When oil is found investors will earn between GBP 2,400 & GBP 2,800 per annum (on average).
- Estimated return of 21% for the year after fees
- Monthly paid return when oil is being pumped out of the ground
- Potential to gain a higher return if the oil reserves are bigger than estimated
- A Rising oil price can increase your return
- Long Investment Period of 20 Years
- Currency Gains for a non UK-Investor

Risks:
- Decreasing GBP/USD currency pair for non UK-Investors
- Risk of lower than estimated oil reserves
- Shrinking oil price can reduce your return
- Operational risks e.g. exploring and drilling risk

Costs:
- 5% the fee which is GBP 120 and the small maintenance fee which will be on average GBP 155 for the year (both paid directly out of profits)

You can get a detailed overview about the project’s geological situation in the Swartz Geological Report. The report was prepared on November 17, 2012 and shows the potential of the whole area.

Direct investments in oil and gas are definitely riskier than normal investments in high-quality dividend stocks but they offer a great opportunity for risk-taking and yield seeking investors.

China Dominates The Solar Power Cell Market

Within the year 2010, solar cells with a total electricity power of 27.3 gigawatt were produced, equaling an annual energy production of nearly 30 nuclear power plants. The real performance is much lower.

Most of the solar power cells (nearly every second cell) were produced in China. Within the country, green energy still plays no significant role. Most of the production was exported, mainly to Europe. Especially in Germany has the highest rate of installed solar power cells thanks to the generous support by the government.

Biggest player in the industry is Suntech Power (STP) with a total production of 1.5 gigawatt in fiscal 2010. Second biggest solar company is JA Solar (JASO) with an annual production of 1.4 gigawatt. Yingli (YGE) and Trina Solar (TSL) follow. 4 of the 5 biggest solar manufacturers are home based in China. The biggest U.S. player is First Solar (FSLR) on rang 3. FSRL is also one of the best 100 U.S. growth companies researched by Fortune Magazine. Here are the production figures:

Suntech power: 1585 megawatt
JA Solar: 1463 megawatt
First Solar: 1412 megawatt
Yingli: 1060 megawatt
Trina Solar: 1050 megawatt
Q-Cells: 1014 megawatt
Motech: 945

The average current P/E ratio of the American listed solar energy stocks amounts to 8.81. Solar stocks are high volatile and pay no dividends. Price to book ratio is 1.58 and price to sales ratio 1.46. The companies are working with an average operating margin of 19.42 percent. The average return on equity is 24.03 percent.

Despite the positive growth momentum, many solar stocks run sideways. This has mainly two reasons: The high price pressure in the industry as well as the decreasing feed-in tariffs which creates a little uncertainty for investors. Companies have to reduce their costs as fast as possible in order to reduce the dependence from subsidies.
