The short version

DOUGLAS URCH is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jul 2011: UNDERGROUND ENERGY, INC. (Santa Barbara, CA — oil and gas — 2011; $25.5M reported sold to 8 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jul 2011. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside ANDREW SQUIRES (1 shared filing), Harland E. Johnson (1 shared filing), Michael Kobler (1 shared filing), Peter M. Ballachey (1 shared filing) and RANDOLPH ALDRIDGE (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around DOUGLAS. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 records 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 1 public filing for DOUGLAS URCH and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: STIFEL NICOLAUS CANADA LTD; 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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

4 differences found between the filings for DOUGLAS URCH — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 21, 2011

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: STIFEL NICOLAUS CANADA LTD — UNDERGROUND ENERGY, INC.

STIFEL NICOLAUS CANADA LTD is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Jul 21, 2011) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Note · Jul 5, 2011 – Jul 21, 2011

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — UNDERGROUND ENERGY, INC.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 5, 2011. The Form D was filed Jul 21, 2011 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 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.

Same name, different state: "Douglas Charles Urch" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Douglas Charles Urch" with address state TX, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by Permex Petroleum Corp (Apr 30, 2024). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Jul 21, 2011; the other runs Apr 12, 2022 to Jul 17, 2023.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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 every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
