S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund D L.P. – Investigating Complaints, Risks & Potential FINRA Lawsuits

Are you concerned about your investment in S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund D L.P.? The White Law Group is investigating potential FINRA arbitration claims, including complaints of unsuitable investment recommendations and failure to disclose the risks associated with oil and gas private placements.

If you invested in S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund D—or in any of the issuer’s other offerings—you may be able to seek recovery through a FINRA Dispute Resolution claim against the brokerage firm that recommended the investment.

About S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund D L.P.

According to its website, S.T.L. Resources describes itself as “an agile, vertically integrated E&P enterprise” focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing natural gas and oil properties in the Appalachian Basin.

Between 2018 and 2025, the company filed multiple Regulation D private placement offerings, including:

• S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund D L.P.

• S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund E L.P.

• S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund F L.P.

• S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund G L.P.

These offerings were structured as Reg D private placements, often marketed to income-seeking or tax-sensitive investors.

Risks of Investing in S.T.L. Resources Drilling Funds

1. Illiquidity and Limited Transparency

Oil and gas private placements are typically illiquid, meaning investors may be unable to sell their interests for years, if ever. As unregistered securities, they lack the transparency and oversight of publicly traded investments.

2. High Risk of Loss

Energy-related investments are subject to volatile commodity prices, drilling uncertainties, operational risks, and fluctuating distributions. A decline in production or market conditions can lead to substantial investor losses.

3. High Commissions & Conflicted Incentives

Reg D offerings often carry steep sales commissions, marketing fees, and due-diligence charges. These costs may motivate brokers to recommend the product despite its speculative nature.

4. Potential Misrepresentation

Some investors allege they were sold oil and gas programs as “safe” or “income producing,” without understanding the true risks—such as principal loss, declining distributions, or total investment failure.

Potential FINRA Claims to Recover Losses

The White Law Group is investigating whether brokerage firms that sold S.T.L. Resources private placements—such as S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund D L.P.—may be liable for:

• Unsuitable investment recommendations

• Inadequate due diligence prior to offering the investment

• Failure to disclose risks, costs, and illiquidity

• Misrepresenting the nature of the investment

• Overconcentration in high-risk energy programs

Broker-dealers are required to ensure that investments align with an investor’s risk tolerance, financial situation, age, and objectives. If a firm fails to meet these obligations, it may be held responsible in a FINRA arbitration claim.

How FINRA Arbitration Works

FINRA offers a specialized arbitration forum for resolving disputes between investors and their brokerage firms. These claims are often faster and more efficient than civil litigation. If wrongdoing is proven, investors may recover losses including:

• Out-of-pocket damages

• Loss-of-income damages

• Interest and, in some cases, attorneys’ fees
