How it works

Capital, compliance, and reporting — in one platform.

Petro Plata is the first funding portal purpose-built for oil & gas. Below is exactly what happens between a signed term sheet and a closed round.

Step 1

Structure the raise

We help operators pick the right regulation — RegCF for the crowd, RegD 506(c) for accredited-only, RegA+ for larger public raises — and file the required disclosures.

Step 2

Onboard & verify

Every investor completes KYC, AML, and (where required) accreditation inside the platform. No side letters, no PDFs bouncing around.

Step 3

Escrow & close

Investor funds sit in third-party escrow until the raise hits its minimum. Petro Plata handles disbursement, cap-table entries, and subscription docs.

Step 4

Report & distribute

Post-close, operators publish production and distribution updates directly through their Petro Plata dashboard — visible to every investor in real time.

Regulations we support

Three paths to a compliant raise.

RegCF
Anyone can invest

Raise up to $5M/year from accredited and non-accredited investors. Ideal for smaller operators and community-backed drilling programs.

RegD 506(c)
Accredited only

No cap on raise size; general solicitation allowed. Best for institutional-quality deals targeting sophisticated LPs.

RegA+
Mini-IPO

Raise up to $75M/year from anyone, tradeable secondary. For operators building a public shareholder base.
