Corporate Profile
Ramsey is engaged in leasing, natural gas exploration, development, operations, production and marketing.

Over the next year we will have successfully drilled, completed, and produced over 140 wells in the Devonian Shale.   In addition to our active drilling program, we have installed an extensive pipeline to transport our natural gas to market.

We are also engaged in an active pre-development program to explore and develop the Trenton Black River Zones in Gilmer and Braxton Counties in West Virginia .

One of our primary missions is to provide excellent investment opportunities for our Partners.  To date, our Partners have participated in numerous drilling programs, and historically have achieved an average return of 5% - 40% (plus) per year.

Our natural gas drilling activities have been conducted through joint ventures with Ramsey Associated Petroleum, Inc., as the Managing General Partner.  The company’s overall financial strategy has been to increase natural gas reserves by investing significantly in our own drilling projects and acquisitions.

The combination of a strong leasehold position sets the stage for not only the establishment of normal geological criteria, but also abundant reports of gas discoveries in the field.  In the past, the prospect area was drilled to a depth of 2500’ to 6900’ for discovery in the Big Injun Sandstone, Speechly, Balltown, Fifth Sand, Benson, Elk, and Oriskany formation.  Based upon the widespread (over 15,000 acres of leasehold estates now contracted by Ramsey) distribution of these zones, Ramsey has discovered the beginnings of new fields, and contends that several additional fields are likely to exist over the acreage block.  It is for this reason, and the fact that more sophisticated field mapping indicates that the deeper producing formations are present, that we are continuing exploration and development.
