上游 E&P 公司 2 月 25 日表示，新成立的 Slant Energy III LLC 已获得达拉斯私募股权公司Pearl Energy Investments 的股权承诺。

该公司表示，这笔投资将使 Slant III 能够在二叠纪盆地寻求收购和开发机会。

Slant III 由 Stewart Stover 和 Jeff Etienne 共同创立。Slant 管理团队在收购和优化各种陆上盆地的上游资产方面有着成功的记录。

Slant I 成立于 2016 年，获得了 Pearl 3000 万美元的股权承诺。这家勘探与生产公司收购了北德克萨斯州、东德克萨斯州和东部大陆架的资产，并于 2023 年撤资。

据Slant Energy网站  称， Slant II于 2022 年从 Pearl获得了 9000 万美元的承诺，目前正在二叠纪米德兰盆地运营和增加资产。

Pearl 管理合伙人 Billy Quinn 表示：“Earl 很高兴能继续与 Slant 团队保持长期、成功的合作关系。自 2016 年以来，Slant 已在多个盆地和通过各种运营策略创造了价值。我们预计市场将为 Slant 提供独特的机会，使其能够利用其重点领域。”

在 Slant III 的成立过程中， Kirkland & Ellis LLP担任 Slant III 的法律顾问，Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP担任 Pearl 的法律顾问。

Newly-formed Slant Energy III LLC has secured an equity commitment from Dallas-based private equity firm Pearl Energy Investments, the upstream E&P said Feb. 25.

The investment will allow Slant III to pursue acquisition and development opportunities in the Permian Basin, the company said.

Slant III was co-founded by Stewart Stover and Jeff Etienne. The Slant management team has had a successful track record in acquiring and then optimizing upstream assets in various onshore basins.

Slant I was formed in 2016 and secured a $30 million equity commitment from Pearl. The E&P scooped up assets in North Texas, East Texas and the Eastern Shelf before divesting in 2023.

Slant II secured a $90 million commitment from Pearl in 2022 and is currently operating and growing assets in the Permian’s Midland Basin, according to Slant Energy’s website.  

“Pearl is excited to continue our long-standing, successful partnership with the Slant team,” said Billy Quinn, managing partner of Pearl. “Since 2016, Slant has created value across multiple basins and through various operating strategies. We expect the market to provide unique opportunities for Slant to capitalize in their focus areas.”

Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as legal adviser to Slant III and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP served as legal adviser to Pearl in connection with the formation of Slant III.
