Market dynamics and a lack of new basin discovery are pushing producers to raise capital by selling minority, non-operated positions at attractive entry points. At Bay Rock, this doesn’t just signal a growing trend, but an opportunity on which to capitalize.
By evaluating, acquiring, and managing only assets that meet our criteria, we’re creating stable energy investment portfolios that capture predictable cash flow streams and optimize returns for our capital partners.
Our team is built from seasoned oil & gas executives with decades of experience acquiring and managing substantial energy assets.
All Bay Rock investments are made as direct, non-operated positions in producing oil & gas basins that hold further development potential.
Acquired assets in existing oil & gas production carry predictable cash flow streams. We ensure this via reservoir analysis, forecasting cash flow while assuming conservative variables.
The ideal non-op asset positions we acquire consist of a strong PDP profile, i.e. producing wells, which also have undeveloped positions to be completed in the future.
Due to several factors, including the lack of newly discovered basins, the current U.S. oil & gas industry needs to grow and generate capital—providing Bay Rock with an attractive entry point at lower oil prices.
Collectively, we have over five decades of experience, sourcing and closing over 100 oil & gas transactions. You can be sure that every step of the way, we’re making sound decisions backed by our cumulative knowledge—mitigating geological, operational, and market risks while maximizing steady and reliable cash flow.
