Suffered losses investing in Bradford Energy Opportunity Portfolio LP?

Are you concerned about your investment losses with Bradford Energy Opportunity Portfolio LP? If so, The White Law Group may be able to help.

Bradford Energy Capital, an oil and natural gas drilling company since 1994, is located in Buffalo, New York.  According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bradford Drilling Associates have offered numerous private placements such as Bradford Energy Opportunity Portfolio LP to raise funds.

Many oil and gas LPs have high expense ratios, and due to the decline in the overall health of the oil and gas market, are suffering. Some are on the brink of default, or worse yet, bankruptcy.  Such an outcome is extreme, but not unforeseen. It only highlights the unsuitability of these investments for most retail investors – particularly in large concentrations.

Private placements are exempt from the typical registration requirements of the federal Securities Act of 1933.  Brokers that sell private placements have a fiduciary duty to investors. They should only recommend private placements to accredited investors or those who meet suitability standards.  However, because of the high commissions earned, many brokers push the sale of private placements on investors that do not have the requisite experience to understand the investments

According to a letter from Bradford Energy Capital on November 7, the company has been unable to find a buyer for the working interest in their three remaining wells. In January they notified investors of a potential purchaser, but the deal fell through at “the 11thhour.”

The letter also states that finding a buyer was always preferable to plugging, but unfortunately were not able to do so. Reportedly, conditions haven’t improved and the three NYS wells are underperforming with no projection for improvement in the future. This is more bad news for investors.

The White Law Group continues to investigate potential FINRA arbitration claims involving Bradford Energy Capital investments.
