Own a Piece of the Well
Rixford Resources offers direct, non-operated working interests in our helium wells, sold on a turnkey basis. You pay one price up front for your share of the drilled and completed well, with no additional calls for drilling or completion costs. You then receive your share of production revenue, less your share of operating expenses.
How a working interest works
- 1You buy a percentage of the well at a turnkey price. One up-front payment covers your share of drilling and completion. Your share is in the well itself, not in a fund or a company's stock.
- 2No cash calls for drilling or completion. If drilling or completion costs more than planned, you don't pay more.
- 3You receive your share of revenue. When the well produces, you're paid your portion of production revenue, less lease operating expenses of typically about 20%.

Tax benefits of a working interest
Drilling investments have long received favorable treatment under the U.S. tax code. A working interest may qualify for the deductions below, and much of your investment may be deductible in the year the well is drilled.
| Deduction | What it covers | When you can deduct |
|---|---|---|
| Intangible drilling costs (IDC)IRC §263(c) | Costs with no salvage value: drilling labor, fuel, site preparation, drilling mud, chemicals and similar services. On our wells, these make up about 85% of the well cost. | Up to 100% in the year the costs are incurred |
| Tangible drilling costs (TDC)IRC §§167–168 | Equipment that can be salvaged: casing, wellhead, tanks, separators and processing equipment. On our wells, this is about 15% of the well cost. | Depreciated over 7 years, or deducted sooner through bonus depreciation where it applies |
| Depletion allowanceIRC §§611–613A | A deduction against production income that reflects the reserves being used up. Independent producers can often take percentage depletion of 15% of gross income from oil and gas. | Each year the well produces |
| Operating expensesIRC §162 | Your share of the costs of running the well: pumping, maintenance, insurance and administration. Lease operating expenses typically run about 20% of production revenue. | Each year as paid |
Losses can offset active income
Most investment losses are "passive" and can only offset passive income. A working interest held directly, without limited liability, is an exception under IRC §469(c)(3). Deductions from it can offset wages, business income and other active income.
Illustration only
On a hypothetical $100,000 turnkey working interest with our typical 85/15 split, about $85,000 of intangible drilling costs could be deductible in the first year. The remaining $15,000 of equipment would be depreciated. Actual splits vary by well.
Whether each deduction applies depends on how your interest is held, what the well produces and your own tax situation. Helium wells may be treated differently from oil and gas wells for some of these rules. This is general information, not tax advice. Talk with your own tax advisor before investing.
