Pontem Energy Capital, a specialized energy sector investment firm is pleased to announce the first close of its second fund, Pontem Energy NonOp Fund I (“the Fund”). The Fund, which will invest in upstream oil & gas assets throughout North America, is aiming for a final close at $250 million.

The Fund will primarily seek to acquire non-operated working interests in upstream oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids assets, which may consist of well bore interests in producing or pre-drill assets. The Fund’s investment strategy is to utilize deep industry relationships and a proprietary technical analysis process to partner with top tier operators in key basins to generate significant current yield with a self-amortizing profile and periodic investor distributions, with the objective of maximizing investor returns and minimizing exit-value concentration.

Pontem is pleased to welcome the Alamo Resources team (“Alamo”) to the Pontem platform. The Alamo team has over 20 years of experience in acquiring and developing oil & gas assets throughout the United States. With a focus on utilizing modern technology to review prospective development wells, Alamo has a long track record of identifying attractive investment opportunities and generating superior returns for investors.
