Waveland Resource Partners V Investor Lawsuits 

Securities Investigation: Waveland Energy Partners Drilling Program  

According to its website, Waveland Energy Partners sponsors and manages energy programs. The company claims to be active the San Juan Basin in New Mexico since 2016, and the Williston Basin since 2018, among others.  

Oil and gas limited partnerships or drilling programs are complex, high-risk investments. Many of these programs have high expense ratios, and if the overall health of the oil and gas market declines, it could default, or worse yet, file for 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. 

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that brokerage firms have for recommending high-risk oil and gas programs. The firm has handled a number of claims involving Waveland Energy programs over the years.  

In those claims, the firm has alleged, among other things, that the Waveland investments were (1) high-risk and unsuitable for our clients given their financial situation, needs and investment objectives, (2) that the risks of the investment were not fully disclosed to them, and (3) that the brokerage firms that sold the investments failed to conduct the proper due diligence with respect to the Waveland investments (as the firms are required to do by FINRA Rules). 

The Problem with Oil and Gas Limited Partnerships 

The problem with oil and gas limited partnerships like those offered by Waveland is they are exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and lack the same regulatory oversight as other investment products. These types of limited partnerships often lack liquidity. The often come with high commission fees that are often 3-4x higher than more traditional investments, like mutual funds or bonds.
