Why are oil HYIP investments becoming so popular? The most obvious reason is of course that oil prices play at $75. Whenever a hugely profitable market emerges, HYIPs in that market will soon follow. Another reason is due to today’s communication technology, especially the Internet. HYIPs tend to be ahead of the curve. Often the basis of a HYIP plan is a simple idea. Some ideas are so simple and so obvious that it’s surprising no one did them years ago.

It’s 1985. Reagan is in office, Dallas is the #1 show on CBS, and the US oil and gas industry is BOOMING. The oil and gas investment fraud business was also booming at this time. What a coincidence. Securities laws have changed quite a bit since then. In those days, companies sent unsolicited materials through the mail and cold called to find their prospects. A lot of people didn’t know any better. Times have changed, many of the old methods are known to the public and out of date. This type of scam is dying out.

After the oil market plummeted in the 1990s, major companies like Exxon and Shell sold their interests in small, declining US oil and gas fields and invested their time and money in large untapped fields in the abroad and on the high seas. The buyers of these interests were mostly small independent companies based in the United States.

Fast forward to today. In 2007, the emerging nations of China and India (not to mention many other third world countries) are putting away their bikes and getting into cars or motorcycles. Demand for oil is at an all-time global high. Many of the large offshore fields are declining. Terrorism and politics are increasingly restricting the areas in which US-based companies can explore. All these factors ensure that the price of oil will remain high for many years.

Exploration and production technology has also changed the outlook for the industry since the 1980s. Reserves that would have been considered producible or not economically producible are now some of the most profitable fields in the world thanks to modern technology. With high oil and gas prices, the private companies that now own the US oil and gas interests are doing very well drilling and producing their own wells.

A trend is starting in the oil and gas business. Big companies like Shell, Exxon, etc. they are buying back US interests, and private companies are expecting exorbitant prices. Investors who own shares of these small companies or an active stake in the wells can earn obscene returns. Many people are looking for a way in and have no idea where to start. Many people who don’t know what they are doing are being scammed out of their money.

HYIP programs have been around since the beginning of time and have taken many different forms. All it takes is someone with a brilliant idea and the desire and vision to capitalize on it. In the 21st century, the Internet and digital currencies have marked a new era for HYIP. The ability to quickly and efficiently organize and orchestrate a large global HYIP is now a reality.

Making money in oil and gas HYIPs is not rocket science, especially not in 2007. Knowledgeable people in the oil and gas industry have been doing it for the last 100 years. Most of that knowledge has stayed with professionals in the business. A person does not need to be a geologist to know what to do. All he needs is the correct information and some common sense. Just knowing what questions to ask can make the due diligence process quick and easy. Obviously, the most important thing is to know that the people you work with are honest.
