Texoma Partners, L.P.

In March 2007, Texoma Partners, L.P. (the “Fund”), a leasebank and pipeline investment fund managed by Waveland Energy Ventures LLC, acquired a 60% working interest in 35,000 leased net mineral acres in the emerging Woodford Shale Play in southeastern Oklahoma (“Texoma” or the “Project”) from Oracle Resources, Ltd. (“Oracle”), an independent oil and gas company based in Dallas, Texas.

During 2007, the Fund began the joint development of the Project with Oracle by drilling nine wells and building a pipeline infrastructure. In July 2007, Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK, “Chesapeake”) offered to buy certain working interests and pipeline assets from Oracle and the Fund at a substantial premium to the price paid by the Fund.

In late 2007, Oracle closed on the sale of the 40% interest it owned in the Project to Chesapeake. On January 9, 2008, the Fund closed on the sale of 50% of its working interests in the leases it held at Texoma and 100% of its interests in the pipeline. Excluded from the Fund’s transaction were 4,720 acres on which the nine wells were drilled by three Waveland drilling funds.

The Fund now owns half of its original 60% interest (i.e., 30%) in the Project, has received in excess of 100% of its originally invested capital in approximately 18 months, retains carried interests in sections where the nine initial wells were drilled, and will continue to receive cash distributions from the future sale of leased acreage and carried interests in future wells drilled by Waveland-managed drilling funds on the Project’s acreage. In addition, the Fund will benefit from the operating expertise of Chesapeake, the most active driller of natural gas wells in the U.S.

In addition to the substantial economic return potential to investors in the Fund, the Fund secured a valuable and unique opportunity for Waveland’s drilling fund investors to participate with Chesapeake in what is believed to be one of the highest potential shale-gas plays in the U.S.

North Paradigm Partners III-A, L.P.

North Paradigm III Drilling Program is a series of limited partnerships sponsored by Waveland Energy Partners LLC, whose primary objective is the creation of income through the production and sale of oil and natural gas.  Waveland has entered into an agreement with New Dominion, L.L.C. to jointly exploit New Dominion’s approach to development and production of bypassed high water saturation oil and gas reservoirs in Central Oklahoma.  As a result of New Dominion’s success, the company has become one of the fastest-growing producers of oil and natural gas in Oklahoma.  The Partnerships will participate in the continuing development of New Dominion’s existing well inventory on the North Paradigm Project in Pottawatomie County, and Seminole County, Oklahoma.

The project is situated in an area that historically had only limited production from the Misener/Hunton formations on top of a few minor structures.  Previous operators were unequipped to deal with high water production, and thus were unable to exploit the substantial potential of some early completions in this area, which caused the area to be overlooked as a major exploration target for many years.  Currently, development is continuing using horizontal drilling techniques proven effective in similar nearby reservoirs. 

This fund is currently active.

Brookshire I was bought out in early 2002, returning 100% of the investors' capital. Brookshire II was subsequently formed in April of 2002 and sold 100% of its assets in a transaction that closed in April 2007. Combined with previous distributions made to investors during the operations phase of the partnership, the sale provided a pre-tax return to investors of 170% of the total capital invested in the partnership.


American Immuno Tech, LLC - Convertible Notes & Wa

American Immuno Tech, LLC (“AIT”) was founded in 1995 to design, develop, manufacture, and market cost-efficient, state-of-the-art medical devices for the disposal and treatment of surgical fluid waste and the non-chemical treatment of blood-borne infections.

At his prior firm, Waveland CEO Michael Greer sourced this transaction in 1998 and led both a bridge financing in late 1998 and an equity financing in the first two quarters of 1999. During the equity financing, with the assistance of Mr. Greer and his firm, the company negotiated the sale of its Neptune™ fluid waste management system to Stryker Corporation (NYSE:SYK) for a multi-year royalty payout estimated to ultimately exceed $30 million.

In 2001, AIT again approached Mr. Greer, this time at Waveland, and solicited the firm’s help in securing interim bridge financing in advance of a renegotiation of its royalty agreement with Stryker. Waveland successfully secured $3 million in bridge financing, which was paid off in full less than one year later in 2002.

AIT continues to pursue the development of its HemaCharge™ technology for the non-chemical treatment of septicemia, the third-leading cause of death in hospital intensive care units, as well as two additional medical technologies.
