Aztec XI-D Oil & Gas LP Investment Losses

Have you suffered losses investing in Aztec XI-D Oil & Gas LP? If so, The White Law Group may be able you to recover your losses by filing a FINRA Arbitration claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

The White Law Group has represented a number of investors in claims involving broker-dealers improperly recommending that investors invest in speculative oil and gas partnerships like Aztec XI-D Oil & Gas LP.

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.

According to a press release, on August 30, 2011, Aztec Oil an Gas closed a partnership under its Aztec XI Oil & Gas Drilling Program.  The limited partnership, “Aztec XI-D Oil & Gas LP”, was focused on drilling shallow wells for oil in Texas and closed with approximately $1.6 million of funding. Aztec’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Aztec Energy, LLC, held a thirty percent (30%) ownership interest in the Partnership by contribution, and acted as the Managing General Partner. Aztec Drilling & Operating, LLC, another wholly-owned Aztec subsidiary, served as the Partnership’s drilling contractor and operator.

Aztec raised a total of $19,273,750 under its XI Program, according to Waylan R. Johnson, President, Aztec Oil & Gas, Inc.

Unfortunately for investors in Aztec XI-D Oil & Gas LP, Aztec Energy LLC recently filed for bankruptcy with $500,000 debt.

Due to the high degree of risk associated with oil and gas partnerships, like Aztec XI-D Oil & Gas LP, they are generally more appropriate for sophisticated and institutional investors. Unfortunately, because of the high commissions these products generally pay to brokers, they are often sold to unsophisticated and retired investors.

Brokerage firms have a fiduciary duty to perform adequate due diligence. They must determine if an investment is appropriate for a particular client given the client’s age, net-worth, financial objectives, investment experiences, financial needs, and risk tolerance. If a brokerage firm makes unsuitable investment recommendations or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment they may be liable for investment losses.
