Surface Capital Acquires Oil & Gas Surface Leases on a Tax Advantaged Basis

Calgary, Canada, March 22, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Surface Capital seeks to acquire existing oil & gas surface leases in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

With the recent material drop in oil prices, Surface Capital believes that selling surface leases is beneficial for a number of reasons: a sale eliminates 1) the administrative issues of dealing with cash constrained energy companies and 2) the risk of outright lease defaults.

Given the average age of a farmer in western Canada is approximately sixty the question of retirement funding is a topical issue. Selling surface leases as an initial funding mechanism allows farmers to retain underlying land ownership and receive payment today for future lease revenue on a tax advantaged basis.
