What We Do

Acquiring, Operating & Optimizing Producing Oil & Gas Assets

Forgotten Wells USA specializes in the acquisition, operation, and optimization of producing oil and gas properties throughout Ohio and the Appalachian Basin. We focus on overlooked opportunities where hands-on management, operational discipline, and long-term stewardship can unlock additional value.


Oil Well Acquisitions

Buying Producing Assets

We evaluate opportunities ranging from individual stripper wells to multi-well producing portfolios.

We are interested in:

  • Producing oil wells
  • Mature oil and gas properties
  • Stripper wells
  • Family-owned energy assets
  • Estate-owned properties
  • Small operator portfolios
  • Conventional Appalachian Basin assets

Acquisition Structures

  • Cash Purchases
  • Seller Financing
  • Revenue Sharing
  • Partial Interest Acquisitions
  • Custom Transaction Structures

Operations & Optimization

Hands-On Asset Management

Unlike many buyers, we actively operate the assets we acquire.

Our focus includes:

  • Production monitoring
  • Equipment maintenance
  • Downtime reduction
  • Lease compliance
  • Cost management
  • Production optimization
  • Long-term asset preservation

We believe many mature wells still contain significant value when properly managed.


Asset Evaluation

Determining Fair Market Value

Every property is unique.

Our evaluation process considers:

  • Production history
  • Lease terms
  • Equipment condition
  • Operating expenses
  • Remaining reserves
  • Market conditions
  • Infrastructure and access

This helps us develop acquisition proposals that are fair and practical for all parties.


Remote Monitoring & Technology

Modern Oversight of Mature Assets

We utilize remote monitoring and operational oversight to improve visibility across our producing properties.

Benefits include:

  • Faster issue identification
  • Reduced downtime
  • Improved production tracking
  • Better operational decision-making
