Encore Energy, Inc. is a fully integrated oil and gas exploration and production company that controls all facets of  operations, including but not limited to, lease acquisition, prospect development, engineering, drilling, completion and production operations. Encore’s immediate focus is multiple horizontal Berea oil projects in Kentucky.

The US government provides qualified industry investors with the ability to deduct 100% of their investment in oil and gas against ordinary income in year one. While many other companies in the oil and gas industry are shutting their doors, Encore is acquiring assets and drilling multiple well projects to prove-up acreage to create a “platform” and bring in investment from larger E & P companies in the future.

Oil and gas exploration and development involves a high degree of risk and is only suitable for sophisticated high net worth Accredited investors (SEC Definition), who can afford the loss of their entire investment.  Encore can make no assurances, promises or guarantees as it relates to projected or estimated production volumes, rates, reserves, revenue, income, profitability, expenses, timelines and/or any other estimates. The actual results for each project may vary and are beyond the control of management.

Encore attempts to mitigate risk by utilizing the latest advancements in horizontal well technology. Encore serves as the lease owner and operator for each project providing each partnership with direct control of operations. The Company’s projects are designed to provide qualified participants with monthly income, real-time reporting, transparency, asset protection, maximum tax benefits and relatively low-cost drilling operations, as compared to similar oil and gas projects across the domestic US.

Encore is a bonded well operator with the state of Kentucky and a bonded saltwater disposal well operator with the EPA and Kentucky. The Company’s objective is to optimize production and maximize petroleum reserves, while minimizing the environmental footprint of each project. Encore complies with all state and federal regulatory requirements regarding the drilling, completion and production operations and works directly with its landowners to insure that reclamation is performed in such a way that protects and restores the environment. Encore and/or its management is a proud member of the Kentucky Oil and Gas Association and Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce. 

Mission Statement

The oil and gas business is complicated and involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. Encore Energy, Inc., serving as the managing general partner and well operator of each project, works diligently to provide each qualified SEC defined accredited investor with full material disclosure in good faith, prior to making the investment, and complete transparency / real-time communication through each phase of operations.  The objective for Encore is to mitigate risk, grow production, income and reserve assets for its partners, long-term, while complying with all state and federal requirements and protecting the environment.

Encore provides each prospective SEC defined accredited investor with an offering memorandum pursuant to SEC Regulation D, Rule 506(c). This offering memorandum contains extensive information regarding the proposed operations, including but not limited, to risk disclosures, financial information, production estimates, petroleum geology / engineering, executive management, production support information, estimated use of proceeds, investor confidentiality / privacy policy, turnkey agreement, AFE, insurance, bond, regulatory, etc.

Encore’s management encourages each investor to tour Encore’s corporate office and its field operations in Kentucky to see the Company’s operations, first-hand.

Encore is proud of the relationships it has built with mineral owners, landowners, contract drillers, geologists, well service companies, engineers and many other successful oil and gas operators, persons and organizations in the state of Kentucky. Encore is also very proud of the economic impact the Company is making is some of the more rural and impoverished areas of Appalachia.

Encore Energy, Inc. Provides Status Update for Horizontal Berea Oil Well Drilling, Completion and Production Operations in Lawrence County, Kentucky

The JDH #5 reported strong oil fluorescence, oil cuts, oil shows in mud pit, strong gas kick(s), circulated oil while cementing casing, and the confidential mud log further reconfirms the Company’s belief for the well’s future crude oil production and total reserve potential.

“Encore is extremely excited about the drilling results at JDH #5 and super excited about the Frac, well completion and production operations for this well,” said Steve Stengell, Encore’s President and CEO.

“We are learning, perfecting our well plan and working with the brightest minds across the Berea play. This could begin a new chapter for Encore and the Company’s next three (3) horizontal Berea well projects,” added Stengell.
“The JDH #5 is located off-set to multiple Tier I high-volume Berea oil producers and we are looking for first production in the 4th quarter.” The Company has already drilled 2000’ of vertical hole at Fallsburg.

Tier I horizontal Berea oil wells in this area have reportedly averaged in the range of ~100 – 150 BOPD over the initial 90 days of production with an estimated EUR ~100000 – 150000 BOE high-side reserve target estimate per well. Berea oil production from Lawrence County, Kentucky reportedly represents nearly ~20 – 25% of the states total annual oil production.

“The fact the SEC defined investors can deduct 100% of their investment against all forms of income (state and federal) and further mitigates a good amount of the risk associated with these projects,” added Stengell.

Oil and gas investments are subject to a high degree of risk, uncertainty, unpredictability, indefinite delays, loss of investment and are suitable only for SEC defined accredited investors who are sophisticated in making business and investment decisions. No assurances can be made as it relates to production, income, distributions, reserves, profitability, prices, timelines and/or any other estimates.
