The world runs on oil, which is why it is such a hot topic politically, and also a lucrative investment for qualified investors. The recent tax reform and movements by OPEC and Non-OPEC countries have all contributed in making the US a magnet for oil and gas investors. Specifically, with North Dakota and Texas, oil and gas investments rank among the top of the list for opportunities. Despite being such a force, the oil industry is plagued with a lot of myths and disinformation, due to which a lot of investors are reluctant in investing their money.
