Item 1. Business
Overview
Okmin Resources, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Okmin” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada in December 2020 to engage in the business of the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties, mineral rights and other natural resource assets.
Okmin has been focused on the acquisition and development of domestic oil and gas fields, investing in lower profile rework and recompletion opportunities with lower entry costs. The Company's initial projects are located in Oklahoma and Kansas.
The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries that conduct oil and gas activities, Okmin Operations, LLC, organized on May 25, 2021 in the State of Kansas, and Okmin Energy LLC, organized on November 21, 2021 in the State of Oklahoma.
The Company has an interest in three separate projects:
| 1) | A 72.5% Net Revenue Interest in the Vitt oil lease located in Neosho County, Kansas |
| 2) | A 10% overriding royalty interest in West Sheppard Pool, a natural gas project in Northeast Oklahoma |
| 3) | A 95% Joint Venture interest in Pushmataha, a natural gas project in Southeast Oklahoma |
Subsequent to the end of its fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Company disposed of its entire interest in the Blackrock JV for consideration of $25,000 cash and an additional 45% interest in the Pushmataha joint venture. This transaction increased the Company’s interest in Pushmataha from 50% to 95%.
The Company has not conducted any reserve evaluations or calculations, and there are currently no proven reserves on any of the Company’s properties.
Our business strategy is to enhance the value of our acquired operated assets through evaluation of certain properties with the goal of increasing production. We plan to deploy capital in a strategic manner and pursue value-enhancing transactions and expect to continuously evaluate strategic alternative opportunities that we believe will enhance shareholder value.
Subject to the Company being able to secure adequate additional financing, Okmin may also acquire the rights to and participate in drilling and/or other mining operations. The Company will evaluate other strategic corporate opportunities as they become available from time to time.
For the 2026 fiscal year we anticipate cash needs of approximately $270,000 for general corporate overhead and for operations on our existing lease properties. This amount does not include funding for any potential workovers, re-entries, stimulation treatments and recompletions of existing non or low producing wells. Any new work on our properties will require additional capital. Based on the Company’s cash position as of June 30, 2025, additional financing will be required to meet its budgeted expenditures for fiscal 2026. Management intends to raise such additional funding through debt financing or private sales of the Company’s securities, but no assurance can be given that such financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all.
Activities with Operating Partners
We own working and royalty interests in oil and natural gas prospects in varying stages of exploration and development. The operators of our projects are familiar with the geology and operating components of each project. Although the operators have their own technical staff and consultants, consistent with industry practice with smaller independent oil and natural gas companies, we utilize our own consultants, as needed.
Environmental Laws and Regulations
Environmental Matters
Our operations and properties are subject to extensive and changing federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation, and discharge of materials into the environment, and relating to safety and health. The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation generally is toward stricter standards, and this trend will likely continue. These laws and regulations may:
| · | Require the acquisition of a permit or other authorization before construction or drilling commences and for certain other activities; |
| · | Limit or prohibit construction, drilling and other activities on certain lands lying within wilderness and other protected areas; and |
| · | Impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from operations. |
The permits required for our operations may be subject to revocation, modification, and renewal by issuing authorities. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce their regulations, and violations are subject to fines or injunctions, or both.
Research and Development
No research and development expenditures have been incurred during the past two fiscal years.
Insurance
Our operators undertake to have general liability and property insurance coverage in amounts deemed sufficient for the business operations. Our insurance coverage is limited, and there is no guarantee that any insurance coverage would be sufficient to protect the value of our assets or to fully cover any losses sustained. Payment of substantial liabilities in excess of coverage could require diversion of internal capital away from regular business, which could result in the curtailment or suspension of our current and projected future operations.
Forward Plan
We have primarily engaged in oil and natural gas exploration and production by participating, on a proportionate basis, alongside third-party interests in wells drilled and completed in spacing units that include our acreage.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, our activities will be focused on development and production of our oil and gas interests with our joint interest operators.
In fiscal 2026 and beyond, we intend to seek additional growth opportunities including but not limited to the oil and gas and the natural resources sectors. This may include further acquisition of assets, participation with current and new industry partners in their exploration and development projects, and the acquisition of interests in existing companies.
Business Strategy
Key elements of our business strategy include:
| · | Deploy capital in a strategic manner and review opportunities to raise additional funds to maintain liquidity. We will be highly selective in the projects we evaluate and will review opportunities to improve our financial position through various means. |
| · | Evaluate and Pursue Value-Enhancing Transactions. We will continuously evaluate strategic opportunities that we believe will enhance shareholder value. |
Industry Operating Environment
The oil and natural gas industry is affected by many factors that we generally cannot control. Government regulations, particularly in the areas of taxation, energy, climate change and the environment, can have a significant impact on operations and profitability. Significant factors that will impact oil prices in the current fiscal year and future periods include the Russian war with Ukraine, war and ongoing political tensions in the Middle East, inflation, demand in Asian and European markets, and the extent to which members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other oil exporting nations manage oil supply through export quotas. Natural gas prices are generally determined by North American supply and demand and are also affected by imports and exports of liquefied natural gas. Weather also has a significant impact on demand for natural gas since natural gas is a primary heating source.
In early March 2020, there was an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the infectious disease known as COVID-19, which resulted in a drastic decline in global demand of certain mineral and energy products including crude oil. As a result of the lower demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the oversupply of crude oil, spot and future prices of crude oil fell to historic lows during the second quarter of 2020, which remained depressed for the majority of 2020. Lower oil and natural gas prices not only decrease our revenues, but an extended decline in oil or gas prices may materially and adversely affect our future business, financial position, cash flows, results of operations, liquidity, ability to finance planned capital expenditures and the oil and natural gas reserves that we can economically produce.
Additionally, the outbreak of COVID-19 and decreases in commodity prices, resulting from oversupply, government-imposed travel restrictions, and other constraints on economic activity created disruptions and volatility in the global marketplace for oil and gas. While demand and commodity prices recovered and are back to, or greater than pre-pandemic levels, our financial results may continue to be depressed in future quarters. These factors may adversely impact the supply and demand for oil and gas and our ability to produce and transport oil and gas and perform operations at and on our properties. This uncertainty also affects management’s accounting estimates and assumptions, which could result in greater variability in a variety of areas that depend on these estimates and assumptions, including investments, receivables, and forward-looking guidance.
Seasonality
Winter weather conditions and lease stipulations can limit or temporarily halt our drilling and producing activities and other oil and natural gas operations and those of our operating partners. These constraints and the resulting shortages or high costs could delay or temporarily halt the operations of our operating partners and materially increase our operating and capital costs. Such seasonal anomalies can also pose challenges for meeting well drilling objectives and may increase competition for equipment, supplies and personnel during the spring and summer months, which could lead to shortages and increase costs or delay or temporarily halt our operations and those of our operating partners.
Governmental Regulation
Our operations are subject to various rules, regulations and limitations impacting the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry as a whole.
Regulation of Oil and Natural Gas Production
Our oil and natural gas exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive rules and regulations promulgated by federal, state, tribal and local authorities and agencies. Many states may also have statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled, the sourcing and disposal of water used in the process of drilling, the flaring of natural gas, completion and abandonment, the establishment of maximum rates of production from wells, and the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells. The effect of these regulations is to limit the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce from our wells and to limit the number of wells or the locations at which we can drill. Moreover, many states impose a production or severance tax with respect to the production and sale of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids within their jurisdictions. Failure to comply with any such rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry will most likely increase our cost of doing business and may affect our profitability. Because such rules and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted, we are unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws. Significant expenditures may be required to comply with governmental laws and regulations and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, currently unforeseen environmental incidents may occur or past non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations may be discovered. Therefore, we are unable to predict the future costs or impact of compliance. Additional proposals and proceedings that affect the oil and natural gas industry are regularly considered by Congress, the states, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) and the courts. We cannot predict when or whether any such proposals may become effective.
Regulation of Transportation of Oil
Sales of crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids are not currently regulated and are made at negotiated prices. Nevertheless, Congress could re-enact price controls in the future. Our sales of crude oil are affected by the availability, terms and cost of transportation. The transportation of oil by common carrier pipelines is also subject to rate and access regulation. The FERC regulates interstate oil pipeline transportation rates under the Interstate Commerce Act. In general, interstate oil pipeline rates must be cost-based, although settlement rates agreed to by all shippers are permitted and market-based rates may be permitted in certain circumstances. Effective January 1, 1995, the FERC implemented regulations establishing an indexing system (based on inflation) for transportation rates for oil pipelines that allows a pipeline to increase its rates annually up to a prescribed ceiling, without making a cost-of-service filing. Every five years, the FERC reviews the appropriateness of the index level in relation to changes in industry costs.
Intrastate oil pipeline transportation rates are subject to regulation by state regulatory commissions. The basis for intrastate oil pipeline regulation and the degree of regulatory oversight and scrutiny given to intrastate oil pipeline rates varies from state to state. Insofar as effective interstate and intrastate rates are equally applicable to all comparable shippers, we believe that the regulation of oil transportation rates will not affect our operations in any way that is of material difference from those of our competitors that are similarly situated.
Further, interstate and intrastate common carrier oil pipelines must provide service on a non-discriminatory basis. Under this open access standard, common carriers must offer service to all similarly situated shippers requesting service on the same terms and under the same rates. When oil pipelines operate at full capacity, access is generally governed by pro-rationing provisions set forth in the pipelines’ published tariffs. Accordingly, we believe that access to oil pipeline transportation services generally will be available to us to the same extent as to our similarly situated competitors.
Regulation of Transportation and Sales of Natural Gas
Historically, the transportation and sale for resale of natural gas in interstate commerce has been regulated by the FERC under the Natural Gas Act of 1938 (“NGA”), the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (“NGPA”) and regulations issued under those statutes. In the past, the federal government has regulated the prices at which natural gas could be sold. While sales by producers of natural gas can currently be made at market prices, Congress could reenact price controls in the future.
Onshore gathering services, which occur upstream of FERC jurisdictional transmission services, are regulated by the states. Although the FERC has set forth a general test for determining whether facilities perform a non-jurisdictional gathering function or a jurisdictional transmission function, the FERC’s determinations as to the classification of facilities is done on a case-by-case basis. State regulation of natural gas gathering facilities generally includes various safety, environmental and, in some circumstances, nondiscriminatory take requirements. Although such regulation has not generally been affirmatively applied by state agencies, natural gas gathering may receive greater regulatory scrutiny in the future.
Intrastate natural gas transportation and facilities are also subject to regulation by state regulatory agencies, and certain transportation services provided by intrastate pipelines are also regulated by FERC. The basis for intrastate regulation of natural gas transportation and the degree of regulatory oversight and scrutiny given to intrastate natural gas pipeline rates and services varies from state to state. Insofar as such regulation within a particular state will generally affect all intrastate natural gas shippers within the state on a comparable basis, we believe that the regulation of similarly situated intrastate natural gas transportation in any states in which we operate and ship natural gas on an intrastate basis will not affect our operations in any way that is of material difference from those of our competitors. Like the regulation of interstate transportation rates, the regulation of intrastate transportation rates affects the marketing of natural gas that we produce, as well as the revenues we receive for sales of our natural gas.
Marketing, Major Customers and Delivery Commitments
Markets for oil and natural gas are volatile and are subject to wide fluctuations depending on numerous factors beyond our control, including seasonality, economic conditions, foreign imports, political conditions in other energy producing countries, OPEC market actions, and domestic government regulations and policies. All of our production is marketed by our industry partners for our benefit and is sold to competing buyers, including large oil refining companies and independent marketers. Substantially all of our production is sold pursuant to agreements with pricing based on prevailing commodity prices and the volume of product delivered, subject to adjustment for regional differentials and similar factors. We had no material delivery commitments as of June 30, 2025.
Competition
The oil and natural gas business is highly competitive in the search for and acquisition of additional reserves and in the sale of oil and natural gas. Our competitors principally consist of major and intermediate-sized integrated oil and natural gas companies, independent oil and natural gas companies and individual producers and operators. Specifically, we compete for property acquisitions and our operating partners compete for the equipment and labor required to operate and develop our properties. Our competitors may be able to pay more for properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties than we can. Ultimately, our future success will depend on our ability to develop or acquire additional reserves at costs that allow us to remain competitive.
Human Capital Resources
We believe that our success depends upon our ability to attract, develop and retain key personnel. The Company currently employs its President/CEO and part-time administrative staff. We otherwise rely on the services of independent contractors.
Our Offices
Our principal executive office is located at 16501 Ventura Blvd., Suite 400, Encino CA, 91436.
