The short version

S T L Resources Drilling is a sponsor group of 8 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, shared management entity, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 9 Form D filings between Feb 2019 and Oct 2026.

What this means One team, 8 deal companies, about 7 years of track record in SEC filings. We link the companies because the same people or address appear on their forms — tap "Request a correction" if that is wrong.

Combined reported sold: $5.38M to 67 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Oil and Gas (8). Issuers are based in PA (8).

What this means $5.38M raised across the group, about $80K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: William Dressel (8 issuers, executive officer, director, and promoter), Bill Hayward (7 issuers, executive officer and director), Brian Van der Waag (7 issuers, executive officer and promoter), Ian Lucas (4 issuers, executive officer), John Laningham (4 issuers, executive officer) and 2 more.

What this means The person on the most companies is usually the one running the show; their page lists every deal.

Activity: 1 new offering in the last 12 months; latest filing Oct 19, 2026.

What this means still raising money this year.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 1 court case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 9 public filings for S T L Resources Drilling and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 71 days after the first sale; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:16 AM ET.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search.

4. Differences between public sources

No comparisons published

What is compared

No public statement by this sponsor group has been collected yet, so there is nothing to compare. Sources compared: the sponsor's own website (known from the issuer's own filings — Form C issuer website, EDGAR company profile — an approved profile claim or Form ADV Item 1.I of its matched adviser) · SEC Form D · SEC Form ADV (IAPD) · Internet Archive · No website is on file for this sponsor group yet.

4 differences found between the filings for S T L Resources Drilling — 1 worth asking about (compared 9 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 27, 2023 – Oct 6, 2023

Form D filed 71 days after the first sale — S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund E, LP

The filing says the first sale was Jul 27, 2023. The Form D was filed Oct 6, 2023 — 71 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 56 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund E, LP (latest filing Oct 6, 2023) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund D, L.P. (latest filing Sep 12, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund C, L.P. (latest filing Aug 25, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — S.T.L. Resources Drilling Fund B, L.P. (latest filing Jul 28, 2020)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across all 8 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).
