Focused Strategy
Acquiring producing properties in the United States has been our sole strategy since our inception in 2005, and the upstream oil and gas sector has been our business focus our entire careers, through cycles, across almost all basins.
Fast and Responsive
Whether it is letting a seller know promptly if we will be pursuing an opportunity, or working quickly through diligence, structuring, and negotiation phases, we know that your time is as important as ours. Our reputation is built on being a straightforward, responsive counterparty in all transactions.
Creative and Flexible Approach
We want our transactions to be beneficial to both buyers and sellers, and we have consistently deployed a creative and flexible approach to find the structure that works for all parties, including two-part transactions with initial non-operated interests, carve-outs of assets of larger packages, and working interest retained by sellers.
Value Creation through Operations
Our team has an intensive engineering and operations focus on increasing reserves, production, and margins. We buy properties knowing how further value can be unlocked. Through our large operating team and field offices in four states, we can often quickly integrate new properties in our core areas, allowing us to pursue fast-moving transactions.
