Dallas, October 6th / PRNewswire / -- Diversified Alternative Investments Corporation NexPoint today announced the launch of NexPoint Energy DST (hereinafter referred to as "the Product"), which is a Delaware statutory trust DST product. Its assets consist of oil and gas drilling rights from two of North America's most productive energy regions: the Permian Basin in Texas and the Haynesville Shale in Louisiana. This Product marks NexPoint's first launch in the energy sector DST, and it also incorporates drilling rights, a new category of DST products, into its tax-advantaged investment platform.
The portfolio consists of approximately 1,277 net royalty acres, involving over 200 producing oil and gas wells, as well as more than 300 undrilled locations. About 90% of the portfolio is related to natural gas production from the Haynesville Shale, while the remaining 10% is associated with oil in the Permian Basin. The product has a value of $18,844,000, with a minimum investment of $100,000. This product is intended for qualified investors only, and the DST structure may be suitable for investors who wish to complete a 1031 exchange.
Unlike traditional direct energy investments, DST holds mining rights and receives royalties from the sales of oil and natural gas produced from the related assets. Drilling, on-site operations, production, and sales are managed by a group of experienced oil and gas operators. This structure allows investors to participate in production revenues and future development activities without having to directly bear the costs of drilling or assume daily operational responsibilities.
"For many years, NexPoint has been utilizing the DST structure to expose investors to professional fields that are not easily accessible to them, and mining rights are the logical next step," said Luke Blackwell, President of the NexPoint energy investment platform. "This portfolio combines existing production, confirmed reserves, as well as an experienced operator team with expertise in the Permian and Haynesville regions. We believe it provides investors with a differentiated way to participate in one of the most important industries in the world through a royalty-based, revenue-oriented structure."
The mining rights for this product are distributed across two of the leading energy basins in the United States. According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the Permian Basin produces approximately 6.6 million barrels of crude oil per day in 2025, accounting for about half of the total oil production in the United States. The Haynesville Shale, which spans Louisiana and eastern Texas, produces about 14.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day in 2025; its proximity to liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) export facilities along the Gulf of Mexico coast makes it an important source of supply to meet the growing domestic and global demand.
NexPoint has extensive experience in the DST sector. Since 2016, they have launched 36 DST projects and have achieved a total real estate scale of over $3.2 billion through DST. The company has launched products in various niche and core real estate areas, including self-storage, small industrial properties, life sciences, multi-family residences, hotels, and docks. NexPoint has also continuously invested in the oil and gas industry in the past through the company's balance sheet, related shareholding structures, and personal capital commitments from management. Today, the company is combining this experience with its mature DST platform.
