1. Due Diligence & Underwriting
This journey begins with the identification of promising oil and gas assets. By tapping into the deep connections we've cultivated, we discover opportunities that fit seamlessly within our portfolio's objectives.
2. Due Diligence & Underwriting
Our team of seasoned professionals brings a wealth of expertise to the table, enabling us to rapidly and thoroughly evaluate, underwrite, and negotiate asset transactions. This rigorous approach ensures that each acquisition is carefully assessed for both risks and rewards, aligning perfectly with our strategic objectives.
3. Approval & Acquisition of Asset
We pride ourselves on being a preferred acquirer and operator of upstream energy assets. Our focus is on legacy production assets with proven, ongoing output. These established assets provide a stable foundation for further development and value creation, ensuring consistent returns for our investors.

Once an asset is acquired, we implement a thoughtful approach to its operation and enhancement. Our goal is to maximize the productivity and efficiency of each asset, contributing to the overall success of our portfolio.
5. Execute Strategy that Improves Asset
We don’t just operate assets; we seek to enhance them. By identifying and executing strategic opportunities for production improvement, we ensure the long-term success and sustainability of each project. Our approach is grounded in prudence and reliability, always with an eye on steady returns and lasting value for our investors.
The Duck Strategy
-
Investment Focus: High-Quality, Proven Assets
Duck Energy is dedicated to acquiring and developing high-quality oil and gas assets in Oklahoma, focusing on proven infield acreage. By targeting mature assets with existing production and cash-flowing reserves, we ensure a stable foundation for generating returns. Our strategic emphasis on assets within a 60-mile radius of our operations leverages Scott Duck’s deep local knowledge and relationships, giving us a competitive advantage in securing favorable deals.
-
Operational Excellence: Leveraging Technology and Expertise
We prioritize operational efficiency through the use of advanced technologies in oil extraction and production. By incorporating the latest innovations, such as advanced fracking techniques, Duck Energy maximizes resource extraction from each well, significantly enhancing production efficiency. Our vertically integrated model, which includes Duck Production Management (DPM) and D & D Tank Trucks, ensures comprehensive control over operations, reducing costs and downtime, and driving profitability.
-
Risk Management: Strategic and Disciplined Approach
Our disciplined approach to acquisition and development focuses on minimizing risk while maximizing returns. We avoid high-risk “wildcat” drilling, instead targeting infield acreage with proven production potential. This strategy allows us to capitalize on existing infrastructure and minimize exploration costs. Additionally, our deep understanding of the Oklahoma oil market and long-standing industry relationships enable us to navigate market fluctuations and regulatory challenges effectively.
-
Tax Optimization and Financial Returns
Duck Energy offers significant tax advantages to investors, including deductions for Intangible Drilling Costs (IDCs), Tangible Drilling Costs, and a Depletion Allowance of 15% of annual income from producing projects. These tax benefits, combined with the high profit margins and long-term production potential of oil and gas wells, make Duck Energy an attractive investment opportunity. Our focus on cash-flowing assets and predictable production ensures dependable monthly revenue, independent of tenant payments.
-
Growth and Scalability: Building on Success
Our growth strategy is built on scaling our operations through the acquisition and development of additional oil and gas assets within our target area. By continually identifying and securing high-potential properties, we ensure sustainable growth and long-term value creation. Our ability to operate without intermediaries, directly managing and optimizing our assets, enhances our scalability and positions us for continued success in the energy sector.
-
Long-Term Vision: Sustainable and Responsible Development
Duck Energy is committed to sustainable growth, focusing on the long-term development of our assets while ensuring responsible environmental stewardship. Our ongoing divestiture program allows us to strategically refine our portfolio, focusing on high-performing assets and divesting those that no longer align with our objectives. This proactive approach ensures that we remain agile and responsive to changing market conditions, while consistently delivering value to our partners and investors.
