MDS 2018-Marcellus Shale Development LP Lawsuit: Investor Complaints

About MDS 2018-Marcellus Shale Development LP

According to its website, MDS Energy Development LLC is centrally located in the heart of the Marcellus Shale fairway. MDS Energy Development and its affiliated companies have been tapping the Appalachian basin since 2006, sponsoring both public and private direct participation oil and gas investment partnerships.

MDS 2018-Marcellus Shale Development LP is a limited partnership launched by MDS Energy Development to drill and produce natural gas in the Marcellus Shale play. According to SEC filings, the partnership reportedly filed a Form D in 2018 and with the total offering of $100,000,000.

These types of Regulation D private placement offerings are often marketed as attractive income-generating investments, but they can involve significant risks. Unfortunately, many investors are unaware of the potential pitfalls until it’s too late.

MDS 2018-Marcellus Shale Development LP Lawsuit Investigation

The White Law Group is currently investigating potential MDS 2018-Marcellus Shale Development LP lawsuits on behalf of investors who may have suffered financial losses.

Brokerage firms are required to perform adequate due diligence before recommending securities and must ensure that investment recommendations are suitable based on a client’s financial situation, risk tolerance, age, and investment objectives. When firms fail in these duties, they may be held liable for resulting losses.

Why These Investments Are Risky

Private placements like MDS 2018-Marcellus Shale Development LP are often sold as unregistered securities, meaning they lack the same transparency and regulatory oversight as publicly traded stocks and bonds.

They typically involve:

• High upfront commissions (often 7-10%)

• Additional fees disguised as “due diligence” charges (1-3%)

• Illiquidity and long holding periods

• Dependence on volatile oil and gas markets

Specifically, the White Law Group is investigating potential securities claims involving the following MDS offerings, among others:

MDS Energy Partners LP
MDS 2021-Marcellus Shale Development, LP
MDS 2020 – Marcellus Shale Development, LP
MDS 2019-Marcellus Shale Development, LP
MDS 2018-Marcellus Shale Development, LP
MDS 2017-Marcellus Shale Development, LP 

If your financial advisor failed to disclose these risks or overconcentrated your portfolio in alternative investments, you may have grounds for a FINRA arbitration claim.

Filing a FINRA Arbitration Claim

FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) provides a forum for investors to resolve disputes with their brokers or brokerage firms. It is a private arbitration process that can help investors recover their investment losses without the need for court litigation.

The White Law Group has handled more than 700 FINRA arbitration cases nationwide and works on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we recover money for you.
