EXCELLERE CAPITAL GROUP
GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY ENERGY FUND I
OVERVIEW
Excellere Capital Group is a Dallas-based investment banking firm specializing in the delivery of capital solutions specifically in the areas of oil and gas, including the formation and management of investment funds, financial restructurings, IPO launches, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions and asset workouts.
Excellere is currently launching its Global Opportunity Energy Fund I (GO-Energy), for which the firm has strategically partnered with oil and gas companies possessing proven reserves and cash flow but which require additional capital for specific projects. These companies steer clear of wildcat exploration and the traditional risks associated with this type of exploration, and instead specialize in developmental drilling for oil and natural gas using state-of-the-art 3D seismic technology coupled with proven undeveloped reserves (PUDs), which themselves offset risk even further. By targeting companies with this nature of production and drilling strategy and even specific projects within those companies for investment in the Fund, Excellere has built a portfolio of operations that will generate significant value and returns for its investors while mitigating risk to an unusual degree relative to that of the industry as a whole.
EXCELLERE CAPITAL GROUP
Excellere strives to execute win-win financial transactions for its clients, investors and joint venture partners by virtue of the experience, market knowledge and strategic relationships weve developed worldwide over the past three decades. Our experienced team of professionals provides a broad spectrum of sophisticated capital market, financial advisory and entrepreneurial services in the oil and gas industry.
More specifically, Excellere focuses on:
Strategic partnerships with oil and gas companies with proven track records
Identifying and purchasing proven reserves for oil and gas partner companies
Identifying investment projects with strategic partners for its oil and gas funds
Formation and management of oil and gas funds
Formation and management of real estate investment funds
Raising equity and debt
Capital restructuring
IPO launches
Joint ventures
Start-up and venture capital
GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY ENERGY FUND I
Excellere has formed strategic partnerships with proven oil and gas companies that are already successful but need additional capital to further their production, exploration, technological advances, IPO and/or acquisition initiatives. These companies use state-of-the-art 3D seismic technology coupled with comprehensive records of previous drilling success to identify probable reserves, an approach which reduces the risk of drilling while also allowing for significant levels of reward. Many of these reserves have remained untapped for years and have only recently become viable thanks to new technology.
Our partner firms hold collective expertise in the following strategic oil and gas niches:
