OKLAHOMA CITY - Jan. 8, 2026 - PRLog -- Bass Energy & Exploration, LLC (Bass EXP), has released a significant update to its Oil & Gas Insights Blog: How to Invest in Oil and Gas.
The updated guide-type article is designed to provide clearer, more practical education for investors seeking to understand the differences between public-market energy investments and direct participation in oil and gas projects. Enhancements include expanded explanations of investment structures, risk considerations, operational lifecycles, and tax-related concepts relevant to accredited investors.
"Our goal has always been to replace confusion with clarity," said Preston Bass, CEO of Bass Energy & Exploration, LLC. "Too many investors hear 'oil and gas' and assume every opportunity works the same way. This guide helps people understand what they're actually investing in, how returns are generated, and what questions they should be asking before committing capital."
The guide includes an expanded section detailing the primary types of oil and gas investments available to today's investors. These range from publicly traded energy stocks, which offer straightforward market exposure, and mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) designed for diversified, hands-off participation, to direct participation programs (DPPs) that allow accredited investors to fund specific oil and gas projects in exchange for a share of production revenue.
It also addresses futures contracts, a more advanced investment approach involving agreements to buy or sell oil or gas at a predetermined price on a future date. By outlining these options side by side, the resource helps readers compare structures, risk profiles, and levels of involvement.
Readers can also explore additional educational resources, including insights into oil and gas tax benefits, and a comprehensive library of investor resources offered by Bass Energy & Exploration.
Investors and prospective participants can also find answers to frequently asked questions covering investment structure, reporting, timelines, and suitability.
The full Oil & Gas Insights resource is available on the Bass Energy & Exploration website.
