Natural Gas Partners (NGP) is a $10.5 billion family of private equity funds that makes direct equity investments in energy companies. The firm invests where there is a clear match between a management team’s growth strategy and NGP’s unique sponsorship capabilities. NGP understands the dynamics of investing in a commodity business and works to support its portfolio as it executes on its growth strategy. The strength of the firm lies in establishing relationships with “owner-managers” who see the mutual advantage of having an active equity sponsor and then financing those management teams numerous times over many years. NGP’s investments range from $10-$500 million.
