I heard about the opportunity from a friend of a friend. I found the SIOR board via Google. I've been lurking and learning and doing DD for the past year.
What's curious? My comments are directed only at Gushers, not SIOR. I replied to your post because you called Gushers a scam. I assure you it is not a scam. It has been lots of other things, many of them frustrating, but the Gushers investment has bought me a working interest in 4 different wells, all of which are producing.
The June and July Devon checks from 12 and 13 mostly went to covering the JIB costs, which include overruns and operating expenses for all 4 wells, dating back to October 2013. If you didn't pay your monthly JIB costs, then Devon of course will net those costs out of your revenues. Some of the biggest overruns were in 23, which required some reworking, so if half of your holdings are in 23, it may take longer to clear the JIB account before revenue checks arrive.
None of these overruns have anything to do with Superior. This is normal oil and gas drilling and production stuff. Sure it's frustrating to have overruns, but there are no guarantees in this business. Lots of risk, and hopefully some reward.
