A USCIS-Approved Rural EB-5 Investment
EB5 Energy is a USCIS-approved rural EB-5 investment in operating U.S. oil and gas wells. Investors may benefit from rural priority processing and visa set-aside allocation, while capital repayment is designed to come from production revenue — not refinancing or sale.
✔ I-956F Approved - Rural TEA
✔ 36-Month Repayment Timeline

*October 1, 2026 — Investors who file before this date are guaranteed USCIS adjudication of their petition, even if adjudication extends beyond the program's October 1, 2027 expiration date.
**January 1, 2027 — The minimum investment amount is expected to increase by approximately 20% based on a 5-year CPI adjustment. Investors who commit before this date lock in the current $800,000 amount.
Most EB-5 Investments Are Repaid From a Future Refinance or sale. EB5 Energy is rePaid From Cash Flow.
Traditional EB-5 projects are often structured as loans to real estate developers. Investor repayment usually depends on a future exit event, such as construction completion followed by refinancing or sale.
EB5 Energy is structured differently. Investors own equity interests in producing U.S. oil and gas assets. Capital is deployed to recomplete existing wells with established production potential, using modern completion technology.
The result is a cash-flow-based repayment model. Instead of relying on a future refinancing or sale, EB5 Energy is designed to repay investors from oil and gas production revenues. After operating expenses and annual investor dividends, project revenues are applied to repayment of EB-5 investors. Profit sharing begins only after investor capital has been returned.
The same operating activity that generates revenue also supports EB-5 job creation. Jobs are created through the work required to recomplete, operate, service, and manage the wells, as well as through related supplier and support activity.
how investing works
1 — Capital Deployed
Investor funds are held in escrow and released upon USCIS receipt notice. Capital is deployed as each investor enters the drilling and completion queue.
2 — Drilling, Completion and job creation
Investor capital is used to drill, complete, and place wells into production. Each well takes approximately 30 days to drill and complete.
With a continuous two-rig operation, EB5 Energy plans to complete approximately two wells per month, keeping capital deployed and production building consistently throughout the program.
EB-5 job creation is supported through drilling, completion, field operations, vendors, service providers, and related economic activity. Each 8-well phase is projected to generate roughly 310 jobs, compared with the 250 jobs required, creating an estimated 25% job-creation cushion.
3 — Production Begins
Once completed, each well begins generating production revenue. That revenue flows into the fund’s repayment structure after operating expenses and annual investor dividends.
4 — Investor Repayment
EB5 Energy Fund I, LP targets full return of investor principal within 36 months from the date the first funds from the investor's class are deployed.
Cash flow distributions are made in accordance with the fund's operating agreement, which investors should review in full prior to investing. Actual repayment timing is subject to production performance, operating results and commodity prices.
5 — Long-Term Profit Participation
After all investor classes have been fully repaid, investors receive 50% of NCE profit distributions from ongoing production. Wells are expected to have an operational life of 15–20 years.
Designed to reduce immigration risk
EB5 Energy is structured specifically for EB-5 immigration outcomes. The project has already received USCIS I-956F approval, meaning USCIS has reviewed and accepted the project’s EB-5 eligibility, business plan, and job-creation methodology.
In addition, two EB5 Energy investors have already received petition approvals, with no project-related denials to date. While every investor must still qualify individually and document lawful source of funds, project approval gives investors greater confidence that the investment itself has already been accepted by USCIS.
All EB5 Energy drilling locations are in rural areas, giving investors access to priority processing and the rural visa set-aside. For investors from India and China, this can be especially important because rural set-aside visas may allow qualified investors to bypass the standard EB-5 backlog for their country.

Capital Recovery Based on Cash Flow, Not Exit Events.
Revenue projections are based on $70 per barrel of oil and $2.50 per MCF of natural gas — below current market prices. At these assumptions, EB5 Energy targets return of investor principal within 36 months from the date the first funds from the investor’s class are deployed.
Current market conditions may provide upside above the modeled base case. The fund also expects to use hedging instruments on a portion of projected production during the first 24 months of operations, with the objective of increasing revenue certainty during the period most important for investor repayment and EB-5 job creation.
✔ Base case modeled at $70/bbl oil & $2.50/MCF gas
✔ Hedging strategy intended to support revenue certainty during the first 24 months
✔ 36-month principal repayment target from capital deployment
Repayment projections are targets, not guarantees. Actual timing depends on production performance, commodity prices, and operational factors. Earlier investor classes are prioritized for repayment ahead of later classes.
Independent Oversight. Controlled Use Of Funds
EB5 Energy investor capital moves through a controlled, multi-party oversight structure. Funds cannot be accessed or deployed by any single party acting alone.
✔ Customers Bank — Escrow Agent holds investor funds in escrow and releases funds upon USCIS receipt notice,
✔ Trident Trust — Fund administrator reviews and co-approves capital disbursements throughout the investment period.
✔ Mid-America Regional Center oversees EB-5 compliance, job creation tracking, and regional center reporting.
