Oil and gas have long been part of America’s wealth-building foundation. For qualified investors, partnering with a non-operating oil and gas investment company creates an opportunity to share in production revenue without having to manage drilling, equipment, or daily operations.
DW Energy Group makes this possible by connecting investors with carefully selected projects and providing clear, consistent guidance at every stage. With a focus on strategy, performance, and investor education, DW Energy helps make energy investing straightforward and accessible for approved investors seeking long-term value.
What it Means to be a Non-Operating Partner
In a non-operating partnership, you own a share of the working interest in a well, but you are not responsible for drilling or running it. The operator handles those tasks. DW Energy carefully evaluates opportunities, selects proven operators, and manages the details of each project. This allows investors to benefit from production while avoiding the technical and operational risks that come with running a drilling program.
Investing becomes straightforward with DW Energy. You put capital to work in U.S. energy projects, and DW handles the oversight, reporting, and communication so you stay informed every step of the way.
Why Qualified Investors Look to Non-Operating Firms
Qualified investors often choose this model because it gives them access to energy investments that would otherwise be out of reach. Benefits include:
- Access to projects carefully reviewed for quality and potential
- Diversification through ownership of tangible energy assets
- Time saved, because the operator and DW handle the complex work
- Clear reporting and transparency that help with confident decision making
Since 2008, DW Energy has built long-term relationships with qualified investors by focusing on professionalism, discipline, and trust. These principles make the experience easier and more rewarding for investors who want exposure to energy without the burden of operating wells themselves.

Tax Benefits that Make a Difference
Oil and gas investments come with unique tax advantages that can enhance after-tax returns. These include features like deductions for intangible drilling costs, depletion allowances, and depreciation, which can help lower taxable income and improve overall results for qualified investors.
- Intangible drilling costs (IDCs) – These are expenses related to drilling, such as labor and site preparation. Under U.S. tax law, many of these costs can be deducted in the year they occur, often amounting to 60 to 80 percent of the initial investment.
- Percentage depletion – Investors may also be able to deduct up to 15 percent of gross income from production each year, within IRS rules.
- Tangible drilling costs – Equipment costs, such as casing and wellheads, can be depreciated over several years, offering additional tax relief.
These deductions are designed to encourage domestic energy development, and they can provide meaningful support for investors. Of course, every situation is different, and tax advisors should be consulted to confirm eligibility and filing details.
The Strength of U.S. Energy Production
The United States has been a net energy exporter since 2019, a sign of how far domestic production has come. In 2024, the country produced record levels of energy, with natural gas making up about 38 percent of that total.
Crude oil output is also expected to remain strong. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects average crude oil production of around 13.4 million barrels per day in 2025, with a year-end peak near 13.6 million barrels. Natural gas consumption is also forecast to set new records in 2025.
These numbers highlight a stable environment for long-term projects, giving investors confidence that U.S. oil and gas will continue to play a central role in meeting demand.
How DW Energy Manages Opportunities
DW Energy Group works only with proven operators and evaluates each project before presenting it to investors. Every opportunity is reviewed for geology, operator track record, cost structure, and development plans. Only projects that meet DW’s standards for quality and potential move forward.
As a partner, you can expect:
- Regular updates as wells are drilled and completed
- Ongoing production reports once wells are producing
- Accurate and timely delivery of tax documents
- Direct access to knowledgeable professionals who are ready to answer questions
This approach gives investors clarity, consistency, and confidence.
Benefits that Matter Most
- Income potential – When wells begin producing, investors may receive distributions based on their share of revenues after costs.
- Diversification – Oil and gas ownership provides exposure to real assets that do not always move in line with stocks and bonds.
- Professional oversight – DW Energy oversees operators, reporting, and communication on your behalf, ensuring you remain fully informed without taking on the daily workload.
- Long-term relationships – The company’s culture of accountability, honesty, and integrity means investors can count on support well beyond the initial investment.
DW Energy’s Track Record Since 2008
DW Energy was founded to give qualified and approved investors access to drilling and production opportunities that had traditionally been limited to larger institutions. Since then, the firm has grown into a trusted partner with decades of combined team experience. The mission has always been the same: to deliver income potential and tax benefits while contributing to U.S. energy independence and local community growth.
Partnering for Your Energy Future
For qualified investors, partnering with a non-operating oil and gas investment company means gaining the advantages of direct participation without the complexities of running a well. DW Energy brings experience, discipline, and transparency to every partnership, helping investors pursue their financial goals while supporting America’s energy strength.
