The Silverfern Group Invests in Sequitur Energy Resources’ Follow-on Acquisition of Certain Oil & Gas Assets from EOG

Houston, Texas June 28, 2016 – The Silverfern Group, a leader in non-traditional global direct investment, today announced that it has invested in Silverfern portfolio company Sequitur Energy Resources’ follow-on acquisition of certain proved and developed oil and gas reserves in the Permian Basin in West Texas from EOG at a time of market weakness.

Sequitur Energy Resources is an oil and gas exploration and production company, which was formed by the former senior management team of Mariner Energy to opportunistically consolidate under-exploited U.S. onshore oil and gas assets. The acquisition of the EOG assets, comprising certain proved and developed oil and gas reserves in the Permian Basin in West Texas, increases Sequitur’s profitable daily BOE production by 550%, Proved Developed reserves by 515%, and 2016 well-level net cash flow by 330%, all at May 2016 oil prices.

Following completion of the investment, Silverfern Co-Managing Partner Clive Holmes said: “Silverfern is pleased to continue its strong support for CEO Scott Josey and the Sequitur management team. Consistent with our non-traditional investment strategy to manage the micro (sweat the assets) and to survive the macro, Sequitur has again proved the wisdom of employing conservative financial leverage in cyclical industries, being able to take advantage of market weakness to opportunistically acquire strategic assets at attractive prices.”

The Sequitur investment represents Silverfern’s fourth follow-on investment and ninth global investment in the past 18 months.
