The Ohio Seven Project
Clinton Sandstone – Proven, Underdeveloped, Oil-Rich Formation
The Clinton Sandstone formation represents one of the most compelling yet underexploited opportunities in North American onshore oil production. This blanket formation extends across eastern Ohio with remarkable geological consistency, having already produced 105 million barrels through conventional vertical drilling over six decades.
What makes this opportunity exceptional is that 93% of the oil remains in place. An estimated 1.5 billion barrels of original oil in place awaits modern horizontal drilling techniques. Where vertical wells historically produced modest volumes, new horizontal wells achieve 20x the production output, fundamentally changing the economics of Clinton Sandstone development.

Projected 10-Year Revenue Growth
Detailed projections indicate a robust and consistent growth in revenue for the Ohio Seven Project, reflecting a favorable production profile and stable market conditions. This line chart illustrates the anticipated gross revenue for all four wells, net to partners (65% Working Interest), over the first decade of operations, based on conservative $50/barrel oil prices.
This steady revenue stream translates into compelling GP Annual Returns, beginning at 18% in Year 1 and growing to 49% by Year 10. The project's long-term outlook provides exceptional generational income potential with a conservative payout.
Detailed 5-Year Financial Projections
This table outlines the comprehensive financial projections for the Ohio Seven Project over its first five years, reflecting expected production rates, gross revenue, and net revenue to partners (65% Working Interest). All figures are based on conservative $50/barrel oil prices, demonstrating robust and consistent growth. The reason for the growth in production is due to the unique way in which the oil and gas is drilled using our proprietary horizontal drilling technology, which slowly increases the rate of production over time.
These projections underscore the project's potential for significant returns, culminating in a 10-year total net revenue of over $12.6 million for the four wells, reflecting a strong investment opportunity with a steadily increasing annual return profile.
Strategic Infrastructure Advantages
The Ohio Seven Project benefits significantly from the robust and established energy infrastructure in the region. This existing network provides critical advantages, streamlining operations, reducing costs, and ensuring efficient market access for our produced oil.
Existing Pipeline Access
Proximity to major crude oil and natural gas pipelines minimizes transportation costs and provides direct access to diverse markets, enhancing profitability.
Skilled Local Workforce
The long-standing oil and gas industry in Ohio ensures a readily available pool of experienced operators, engineers, and support personnel, leading to efficient and safe operations.
Integrated Supply Chain
A well-developed regional supply chain for equipment, services, and maintenance reduces logistical complexities and allows for quicker project execution and problem-solving.
Strategic Infrastructure Advantages
The Ohio Seven Project benefits from decades of regional oil and gas development, with extensive midstream infrastructure already in place. This existing network eliminates the capital expenditure and timeline risks associated with greenfield projects, allowing production to reach premium markets immediately upon completion.
Transportation Network
Multiple pipeline connections to local carriers and major interstate systems ensure reliable takeaway capacity and competitive pricing. The regional HUB configuration provides optionality for oil marketing and protects against single-buyer exposure.
Processing Infrastructure
Internal compression facilities are installed and operational. Clinton Sandstone oil requires minimal treatment, and characteristically low water production reduces operating expenses significantly versus other formations.
Lease Position
All acreage is held by production with long-term rights secured. This eliminates re-leasing risk and provides certainty for extended-life horizontal development across multiple drilling locations.
Pipeline Connectivity
  • Connected to regional gathering systems
  • Access to major interstate pipelines
  • Multiple marketing outlet options
Low Operating Costs
  • Minimal treatment requirements
  • Low water production volumes
  • Installed compression equipment

Tax Incentives & Investor Benefits
Oil and gas investments offer unique tax advantages under U.S. tax code, allowing investors to offset active income while building long-term productive assets. These benefits can significantly enhance after-tax returns and accelerate effective capital recovery far beyond the nominal payback period.

Example: $275,000 Investment
An investor contributing $275,000 (representing 1/40th Limited Partner share) could potentially deduct approximately $206,250 in Year 1 through Intangible Drilling Costs. At a 37% marginal tax rate, this generates approximately $76,000 in tax savings, reducing net capital at risk to approximately $199,000.
01
Intangible Drilling Costs (IDC)
Approximately 75% of well costs qualify as immediately deductible IDC expenses in Year 1, including labor, drilling fluids, site preparation, and completion services. Unlike passive losses, IDC deductions offset active income including W-2 wages and business income.
02
Tangible Drilling Costs (TDC)
The remaining 25% of costs represent tangible equipment (casing, wellhead, pumps) depreciable over seven years under MACRS, providing ongoing tax benefits throughout the recovery period.
03
Depletion Allowance
Ongoing production income qualifies for a 15% depletion allowance, reducing taxable income from operations throughout the life of the wells. This benefit continues for decades as the wells produce.
04
Active Income Offset
Unlike many passive investments, working interests in oil and gas qualify as active participation, allowing deductions to offset W-2 wages, business income, and other active sources rather than being limited to passive income only.
Tax benefits are subject to individual circumstances. Investors should consult their tax advisors regarding specific applicability. Benefits described reflect current tax law and may change with future legislation.

Risk Factors & Considerations
While the Ohio Seven Project benefits from exceptional geological certainty, proven operator performance, and conservative engineering, all oil and gas investments carry inherent risks that prospective investors must carefully evaluate. Fromkin Energy believes in complete transparency regarding both opportunities and challenges.
Commodity Price Volatility
Oil prices fluctuate based on global supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical events, and macroeconomic conditions. While project economics break even near $30/barrel, sustained low prices would impact return magnitude and timing. Price hedging strategies are available for discussion.
Reservoir Performance Uncertainty
Actual well productivity may vary from projections despite extensive offset data and engineering analysis. Geological heterogeneity, completion effectiveness, and drainage patterns influence ultimate recovery. Conservative type curves mitigate this risk but cannot eliminate it entirely.
Operational Challenges
Mechanical failures, unexpected downtime, and operational complications can temporarily reduce production or increase costs. While Fromkin's 138-well track record demonstrates exceptional execution, no operator can guarantee zero operational issues.
Regulatory Environment
Changes to federal or state regulations affecting drilling, production, or tax treatment could impact project economics. Current tax benefits reflect existing law and may change with future legislation.
Illiquidity
Limited Partnership interests are illiquid investments with no established secondary market. Investors should anticipate capital being committed for the life of the wells, typically 50+ years, though distributions begin immediately upon production.
Capital Loss Potential
Despite conservative projections and proven formations, investors could lose some or all of their invested capital. This offering is suitable only for investors who can bear the risk of total loss without impacting their financial security.
