Where real assets meet committed capital.
We source, verify and help structure investment opportunities in oil and gas, energy and natural resources, with a major focus on Africa and Asia-Pacific, for the capital partners best placed to fund them.
We stand between asset owners and investors, and make sure what crosses is real.
Deal origination
Direct relationships with operators, owners and sponsors: acquisitions, farm-ins, development capital and project finance.
Screening & verification
Authority to transact, title and licences, reserves and production claims, sponsor equity and counterparty integrity, checked before any introduction.
Structuring support
Clear definition of the interest, use of proceeds, holding structure and the consent path, alongside licensed advisers and counsel.
Real assets that power economies.
We focus where our relationships and technical judgement add most to an investor's decision.
Upstream oil & gas
Producing assets, redevelopment, marginal fields and non-operated interests.
Gas & power
Gas processing, gas-to-power, flare gas commercialisation and midstream.
Mining & critical minerals
Precious metals, battery and critical minerals, and processing capacity.
Energy infrastructure
Refining, storage, terminals and transition-aligned energy projects.
Global in reach. Deep in Africa and Asia-Pacific.
We consider opportunities worldwide, and concentrate our relationships where resource wealth and capital need meet.
Africa
Onshore and offshore hydrocarbons, gas monetisation and mining, anchored in West Africa and extending across the continent.
Asia-Pacific
Energy, resources and infrastructure across Australia, South-East Asia and the Pacific, where we are based.
Opportunities elsewhere, including the Caribbean and Middle East, where a transaction fits our partners' mandates.
