Optimum OKLA 6 JV is a $9.0M direct working interest joint venture acquiring partial Working Interests in six (6) horizontal wells across the Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma, sponsored by Optimum Energy Partners. The Venture is targeting wells operated by six established Oklahoma operators: Charter Oak Production, Continental Resources, Mach Natural Resources, Mewbourne Oil Company, Upland Exploration, and Validus Energy. All six wells target the Cherokee Group and Woodford formations using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques, with horizontal lateral lengths of approximately 2-3 miles per well.Why This Opportunity<ul style="list-style-type: disc; padding-left: 22px; margin: 6px 0px 10px;"><li style="display: list-item;">Six-well diversification: Direct working interest exposure across six separate wells, six counties, two productive formations (Cherokee and Woodford), and six different operators, materially reducing single-well concentration risk versus single-asset oil and gas investments</li><li style="display: list-item;">Established blue-chip operators: Wells operated by Charter Oak, Continental Resources, Mach Natural Resources, Mewbourne Oil, Upland Exploration, and Validus Energy, all experienced Oklahoma operators with proven horizontal drilling track records</li><li style="display: list-item;">Anadarko Basin geology: Cherokee Group has produced over 1.2 trillion cubic feet of gas to date, with the Red Fork Formation alone holding an estimated 876 billion cubic feet of untapped reserves; the basin is the deepest Phanerozoic sedimentary basin in North America with proven multi-decade productivity</li><li style="display: list-item;">Direct working interest economics: Investors hold working interest exposure with full participation in oil and gas revenue, royalties paid to landowners (25%), and operator-managed production</li><li style="display: list-item;">Strong nearby well performance: Recent key wells in the area show average 30-day peak IP of 1,408 BOE per day and average EUR of 1,273,671 BOE, with high-end peaks reaching 2,118 BOE per day and EUR up to 2,454,915 BOE</li><li style="display: list-item;">Significant tax advantages: Up to 80% of investment deductible in Year 1 as Intangible Drilling Costs (IDC) for accredited investors, with potential ~50% depletion in Year 1 via cost segregation; oil and gas working interests treated as active income (not passive), allowing losses to offset other ordinary income</li><li style="display: list-item;">Cash flow potential: At 3,000 BOE per day cumulative production across all six wells, projected monthly income of $34,108 (109% annualized return potential, 141% with tax savings); at 1,000 BOE per day, projected monthly income of $11,228 (36% annualized return potential, 68% with tax savings)</li><li style="display: list-item;">Operator continuity: Optimum's 23rd drilling project, with prior multi-well joint ventures in Oklahoma and Texas demonstrating consistent execution and investor distribution history</li></ul>Deal Structure<ul style="list-style-type: disc;

Oil and gas exploration is speculative by nature, and there is no guarantee that wells will produce commercial quantities of oil or gas. Investors should carefully review all offering documents and risk factors before making any investment decision.
