One of many problems is that it is a stupid thing to do.
Cash flow is completely meaningless here. Oil and Gas wells are long-term investments, and most partnerships do not result in a profit. If they raise and invest $100K, they will be lucky to get that 100K back in 20 years. How does that help GDSM and the shareholders?
Obvious answer. It doesn't.
Just a continuation of the pump and dump that is GDSM.
If Mr. Shea is so successful at what he does, why in the world would he take a position in a seven time failed Shell that has a $5 MILLION bounty on its head, and over $14M in debt!
