Houston-based investment firm Pickering Energy Partners said last week it will partner with investors and operators to acquire and develop oil and gas interests in Permian Basin by investing at least $300 million over the next two years. Dan Pickering, CIO, said July 14, “We are excited to invest across the Permian Basin and play our part in bringing U.S. production to the marketplace.” Walker Moody, president, said Pickering has a “history of working with quality institutional investors and established, experienced Permian operators who share the goal of successfully acquiring and stewarding energy and natural resources.”
