The 4-year-old private equity firm covers an extensive array of sectors within the energy industry, including downstream, midstream, and upstream sectors.

The Houston-based company said that investments between US$5 million to US$20 million are what they would usually be looking into. According to the sources, the funds are injected to energy infrastructure businesses including those involved in the processing, production, transportation, and storage of energy.
