Oil & gas remains one of the few asset classes that can deliver current cash flow, hedge against inflation, and offer significant upside from development potential.
And that's why we're partnering with Aspen Funds to Launch the 51 Upstream Energy Fund VII.
This is a $75MM+ diversified oil & gas fund focused on investing in what we believe to be the best risk-adjusted opportunities.
This fund will focus on a combination of existing producing assets (PDP) for current cash flow and acreage for new drilling (PUD) to capture upside value, targeting multiple proven basins.
It will primarily invest in non-operating working interests (NOWI) and overriding royalty interests (ORRI) , a structure that reduces operational risk while still providing the opportunity to participate in new drilling programs.

Hi, I'm Senate!
I currently own 847 multifamily units nationwide and have helped nearly 100 people invest in private real estate opportunities, private business investments, and oil & gas offerings. I love mentoring new investors and watching them succeed.
Born and raised in Twin Falls, Idaho, I'm a proud husband, father of five (now all grown!), and lifelong entrepreneur. My wife Cari and I have launched multiple ventures-including The Idaho Summit-while staying rooted in family and community.
Beyond real estate. I've led businesses across various industries, including my own financial firm. I also lead the Magic Valley Real Estate Investors Meet Up and serve in local organizations to support our business community.
At my core, I'm passionate about solving problems, sharing knowledge, and helping others thrive.

The minimum investment in the Energy Fund LP is $50,000
Yes, our funds allow investment through qualified retirement money. This must be done through a self-directed IRA or 401K. If you don’t yet have a self-directed account, we can make introductions to several custodians that we have worked with.
Additionally, some funds implement leverage leading to the possibility of generating Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT). We would ask that investors speak with their tax professional about potential implications.
No. Investors in this Fund will be part owners of the Fund shares and thereby a portion of all assets owned in the Fund. Based on the strategy of the Fund it is anticipated there will be numerous wells, basins, & operators in the assets creating a diversified portfolio.
The Fund will focus on investing in a combination of multiple existing producing assets for current cash flow (PDP) along with acreage for new drilling for upside value (PUD). The Fund will generally be focused on investing in non-operating working interests (“NOWI”) and overriding royalty interests (“ORRI”). This reduces operational risk but gives the opportunity to participate in new drilling programs.
What is the lock-up period on this fund?
The fund life is expected to be 10 years; however, our team is always evaluating exit opportunities and will consider exiting early should it benefit investor returns.
Yes. However, the 116 Upstream Energy Fund VI, LP is primarily focused on maximizing shareholder returns vs. primarily generating tax losses. As such, while we anticipate tax advantages to be passed through to the limited partners, our goal will be to make acquisitions first based on investor overall returns. Oil and gas investments generally offering tax advantages through depreciation, depletion, and intangible drilling costs.
Investors may elect to take part in either the GP side offering advantages toward active income or the LP side offering advantages toward passive income. It must be noted, taking part in the GP comes with additional risks.
