Investing in Oil and Gas
Shale Energy International is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas resources in the United States. Our focus is acquiring producing oil fields discovered by the major oil companies (Shell, Chevron, Texaco and Exxon/Humble) with future developmental opportunities with an emphasis on multiple pay sands often overlooked or prematurely abandoned due to the low oil and gas prices during the 1940s to 1990s. We have had great success in strong water drive reservoirs and have properties in the highly popular horizontal drilling areas in the Permian Basin.
Why Oil and Gas Investment ?
Diversifying your portfolio with a Oil and Gas Investment can provide a hedge to protect against the impact of rising energy prices.

A worldwide market for oil and natural gas and the promise of continuing growth in demand are why many investors should consider diversifying their portfolio with oil and gas investments.
