“to avoid a serious energy crisis in coming decades, citizens in the {industrialized countries}should actually be urging their governments to come to international agreement on a persistent, orderly, predictable, and steepening series of oil and natural gas price hikes over the next two decades” -Ecologist William Rees

What are direct participation programs (DPPs)?
Direct participation programs (DPPs) are a type of investment program that allows you to enjoy the benefits of a direct investment in tangible assets without many of the complications and risks that normally accompany such investments. As an investor in an oil and gas well DPP, you own an interest in the operating energy company’s assets and may benefit from the income it produces—namely, revenue derived from oil and natural gas sales. Oil and Gas Deal Values Total $170 Billion in 2011

These programs are available to accredited investors (to register click here) and offer short term tax benefits and longer term return of capital and cash flow potential. These may be the investment vehicle that you require to diversify your portfolio and spread your investment risk.
