INDUSTRIES

Energy & Natural Resources

The fundamentals are often in place long before the capital is. We work on projects and operating assets that are bankable on the numbers but cannot raise, because the structure capital requires has not been built. The constraint is rarely the asset. It is the absence of a counterparty who can structure it and place it across the jurisdictions involved.

These transactions are cross-border by nature, partner-equity by structure, and slow to close in the wrong hands. We engage where the underlying case is real and the work is in making it fundable.

We structure and place capital for projects that are bankable but unstructured. We work cross-border, infrastructure-adjacent, and in partner-equity situations.

01

Where we engage

Project capital for assets with sound fundamentals and no acceptable structure

Cross-border partner equity for resource and energy operators

Structuring and placement across multi-jurisdictional holding arrangements

Co-investment alongside principals on direct energy and infrastructure positions

Coordination of capital and structuring where the principal needs a single senior counterparty

02

Sector coverage

We advise producers, developers, and service businesses across conventional energy, the transition, and the minerals supplying it.

Upstream Oil & Gas

Acquisitions, divestments, and farm-in structures across producing and development assets.

Midstream & Energy Infrastructure

Pipelines, processing, storage, and terminals valued on contracted throughput and counterparty strength.

Refining

Processing assets where feedstock access, configuration, utilisation, and environmental obligations determine value.

Power Generation & Firming

Dispatchable generation and firming assets in grids that now pay for reliability.

Renewables

Solar, wind, and hydro platforms from development capital through operating asset sales.

Clean Fuels

Hydrogen, renewable fuels, and lower-carbon molecules where offtake and policy support determine financeability.

Utilities

Regulated and contracted networks where allowed returns, resilience, and capital programmes shape value.

Storage & Transition Assets

Batteries and transition infrastructure where revenue stacking and offtake structure decide bankability.

Mining & Metals

Base, precious, and bulk commodities across project capital, asset transactions, and corporate advisory.

Critical Minerals

Lithium, copper, and rare earths, where strategic buyers and governments now sit on both sides of the table.

Energy & Mining Services

Drilling, maintenance, and technical services businesses tied to contract books and commodity cycles.

Fuels & Distribution

Downstream fuel and distribution networks managing long-term structural change.

Carbon & Environmental Markets

Offset projects, environmental credits, and the structures forming around them.

Agribusiness & Timberland

Productive land, forestry, and integrated agricultural businesses valued on yield, water, logistics, and long-duration ownership.

03

What we are seeing

Transition capital is abundant for operating assets and scarce for development risk. The gap between the two is where structuring earns its keep.

Conventional assets still produce the cash flow. Owners are choosing between harvest, divestment, and conversion, often within the same portfolio.

Critical minerals have become strategic assets. Offtake finance, government programmes, and sovereign buyers are changing who sits across the table.

Typical Situations

01

A project that is bankable on its numbers but has no structure capital will accept.

02

An operator that needs cross-border partner equity and a counterparty to assemble it.

03

A principal carrying an asset across jurisdictions with no senior point of coordination.

If this is the position, it is worth a conversation.

Discuss a matter with us.

If you have a transaction, a capital requirement, a structuring question, or a matter that requires coordination across multiple jurisdictions and disciplines, we should speak.
