Select plan

Projected yields are targets, not guarantees. Contract capital is returned at maturity subject to the performance of the underlying asset. Read the risk disclosures below.

Upstream assets

Real wells. Real production. Real cash flow.

We invest where we can see the asset — acreage, decline curves and settlement statements. Allocation figures reflect the illustrative institutional model portfolio.

The company

A specialist desk, not a generic platform.

Legacy Oil & Gas Investment was formed in 2009 to give private capital a disciplined route into North American energy. What began as a Houston royalty advisory now spans Permian Basin extraction, Gulf of Mexico deepwater production and contracted subsea storage — alongside a hybrid offset programme for investors who want conventional cash flow with a measured transition mandate.

We combine reservoir-level diligence with a settlement process built for people who want to see where every dollar sits. No pooled black boxes, no synthetic exposure: each contract is named, dated and reconciled.

Client desk coverage

Client funds are credited only after treasury review. Every approved deposit is matched to a payment receipt.

Asset-first underwriting

Every mandate is anchored to physical production, leases or throughput — never synthetic exposure.

Auditable contract ledger

Deposits, allocations and settlement events are written to an immutable database ledger.

Segregated treasury

Client funding is received into dedicated treasury wallets and reviewed before it is credited.

Benchmark transparency

Portfolio performance is charted against Brent and WTI so you can judge the strategy yourself.

Company history

Fifteen years on the same thesis.

From a Houston royalty advisory to a multi-basin operator portfolio — the discipline has not changed, only the scale.

  1. 2009

    Houston desk founded

    Legacy opens as a two-person royalty advisory in Houston, structuring mineral acquisitions for family offices across the Gulf Coast.

  2. 2013

    Permian working interests

    First operated working-interest position in the Midland Basin. Production data and settlement reporting move to a single internal ledger.

  3. 2017

    Offshore deepwater

    Participation in Gulf of Mexico deepwater production, adding offshore offtake and subsea tie-back exposure to the model portfolio.

  4. 2021

    Hybrid offset programme

    Launch of the Brent-linked hybrid mandate, pairing conventional production with carbon-offset and flare-capture projects.

  5. 2024

    Client platform

    The investor dashboard goes live: daily accrual visibility, benchmark charting and direct desk chat for every client.

Corporate governance

Controls you can audit.

Governance is not a footer disclaimer. These are the four controls that sit between client capital and an operating asset.

Independent reservoir audits

Reserve estimates are reviewed by third-party petroleum engineers before capital is committed to a new mandate.

Treasury segregation

Client funding sits in dedicated receiving wallets. Every credit is matched to a reviewed payment receipt and written to the ledger.

Quarterly reporting

Investors receive a quarterly statement covering accruals, capital deployed, contract maturity and benchmark performance.

AML, KYC & sanctions

Onboarding includes identity and sanctions screening. Suspicious activity is escalated to the compliance desk before settlement.

The investment committee meets monthly to review mandate performance, leverage and counterparty exposure. Client funds are never commingled with operating capital.

Market insights

What the desk is watching.

A short read on the variables that actually move a royalty cheque: the crude band, decline rates and Gulf Coast basis.

Ask the desk
Crude01

Brent holds a $74–$82 band

OPEC+ spare capacity is absorbing supply shocks while demand growth normalises. We keep new allocations hedged at the lower bound of that band rather than underwriting the upside.

Brent front-month

$78.42

Upstream02

Permian decline curves steepen

First-year declines on new horizontals have moved toward 40%. Working-interest economics now depend on inventory depth, not headline IP rates — which is why acreage quality drives our allocation.

Wells under mandate

34

Midstream03

LNG exports reprice the Gulf

Export terminal utilisation is lifting Gulf Coast basis for associated gas. Contracted throughput and storage capacity now accrue independently of flat crude prices.
