According to their website, “Reef is a leader in oil and natural gas exploration, production and property accusations.” The company has interests in approximately 3,000 wells through out the US with a core concentration in North Dakota and Texas.
Unfortunately for many investors the risks associated with Reef partnerships may have been understated and misrepresented by their broker-dealer. While oil and gas partnerships can be lucrative, they are extremely speculative investments and are not suitable for most retail investors.
According to Form D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Reef Lake Arthur Deep Joint Venture is a general partnership that set out to raise over $2 million in joint venture interests. As such, brokers who sold these joint venture interests, not only recommended a high-risk product, but also exposed their clients to increased liability associated with general partnerships.
Broker-dealers that make unsuitable recommendations or misrepresent any investment in order to complete the sale, can be liable for investment losses.
