| | Unlock hidden value in stripper wells | Stripper wells are oil or gas wells that produce smaller quantities of oil or gas. | Large oil companies often overlook them due to the smaller scale of production. Despite their low output, stripper wells can still be quite profitable — especially when oil prices are elevated (like right now) | Pytheas Energy uses AI to revitalize these wells, transform them into efficient producers, and generate cash at a fraction of the cost of larger oil projects. | | How it works: | Acquire underperforming wells for cheap: Pytheas acquires these wells at a very low cost per well, taking advantage of undervalued assets in areas like the Permian Basin and the Bakken Basin. Improve production efficiency: Pytheas leverages AI and machine learning to analyze and optimize well operations. By making the wells more efficient, Pytheas can increase production without increasing operating costs. Generate consistent cash flow: Once the wells are optimized, they produce a steady amount of oil or gas daily. This production generates predictable cash flow, similar to the steady returns from a real estate investment, where rent is paid out over time. Scale up: While each stripper well produces a smaller amount, Pytheas builds a portfolio of these wells to generate significant overall production. This can create substantial revenue streams. Sell oil at market prices: The oil extracted from these wells is sold at market prices, which, given current projections, is expected to remain elevated at around $90-$94 per barrel in 2024. | Learn more: | Clicking the button will: | Take you to Pytheas' investment page on Equifund Give Pytheas permission to email you | | To learn more about Pytheas without giving permission to email, click here. | | 📰 Market Headlines | | US stocks ended mixed yesterday, with investors cautious over Middle East tensions and labor data.
