Why Invest in Energy?
Power your portfolio by tapping into the economics of private industry oil and gas deals
Portfolio Diversification
Through Tunnel Oil and Gas Funds investment programs, you can gain exposure to a unique risk/return profile that you won’t find in the public markets- or other oil and gas investment promotions for that matter.
Passive Monthly Income
One distinct advantage of on-shore oil and gas investing, especially when compared against ground up development of other asset classes, is the quick time to cash flow for successful drilling projects. Our inventory of “ready to drill” prospects can be earning you passive monthly income in as little as 3-4 months post investment with the potential of returning capital in < 12 months.
Significant Tax Benefits
Funding direct oil and gas drilling can unlock massive immediate deductions against all sources of income. In addition, there is favorable tax treatment on the income you earn from your oil and gas investments through depletion allowances.
Hedge Against Inflation
The energy sector has historically offered one of the best hedges against inflation. That remains true today. With inflation running at the highest levels in over a decade, energy has outperformed so far in 2022. Thus, Oil and Gas investments can offer investors protection against further inflationary pressures.

The Bottom of an Oil Barrel
Thousands of everyday products come from a barrel of oil. Here’s The 42 Gallon Breakdown.
From the gasoline in our cars to the plastic in countless everyday items, crude oil is an essential raw material that shows up everywhere in our lives.
With around 18 million barrels of crude oil consumed every day just in America, this commodity powers transport, utilities, and is a vital ingredient in many of the things we use on a daily basis.
Despite the current fixation on “green energy”, fossil fuel demand isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
This graphic visualizes how much crude oil is refined into various finished products, using a barrel of oil to represent the proportional breakdown.
United States Oil Consumption VS U.S Oil Production by the Numbers
2021 U.S Production:
11.19 bbls of oil per day
2021 U.S Consumption:
19.78 bbls of oil per day
The U.S. Energy Independence “Myth”
The fact is we consume more oil than we produce, which is why we have to get it on global markets, and you just cannot fence off the US economy and the US energy economy from what’s happening in global markets.
The inconvenient truth is we do not produce enough oil here in the United States to cover all of our consumption. We haven’t since pre 1965. That’s one of the reasons we have to import. We do produce more natural gas and more coal than we use here in the United States. So we have an excess of those types of fossil fuels, and therefore, we export. So if you put all those forms of energy together, then we produce a little bit more than we consume.
But the problem is you can’t put coal in your car to fill up the gas tank. We need oil and gasoline to do that.
