Percussion Petroleum recently closed an equity commitment from Carnelian Energy Capital Management LP, marking the firm’s second investment in the Houston-based oil and gas company.
Led by co-CEOs John Campbell III and Brian Zwart, Percussion Petroleum II will pursue the same acquisition and development strategy as its predecessor, which ended up selling the position it had assembled in the Permian Basin’s Northwest Shelf to Spur Energy Partners LLC in mid-2019.
In a joint statement on March 24, Campbell and Zwart said: “This is an exciting time to be well-capitalized as we pursue new opportunities, and we are glad to again be partnering with Carnelian. Our proven execution skillset, combined with Carnelian’s opportunistic investment style, provide us with the flexibility to move quickly as we evaluate and capture potential deals.”
The pair, which previously worked together at Rockcliff Energy LLC, are considering opportunities in “select onshore basins in North America,” according to the Percussion website.
