Oil and Gas Group Current Interests

Matador Oil and Gas

Matador Oil and Gas, with its expansive resources and expertise, occupies a leadership role in a variety of petroleum industry activities. Matador funds land acquisition, testing, exploration, and development of oil and gas resources. Its exploration activities are in the west and coastal regions of Texas, as well as the Barnett Shale region of north central Texas. The company also provides capital for selected investments in mineral interests and existing production operations and acquires production throughout the U.S.

Alpine Oil and Gas

Sowell & Co. formed an oil and gas property acquisition partnership with two petroleum engineers beginning in 2004. Sowell & Co. had a business relationship with one of these engineers from being a co-investor with his previous employer in 2000. Their business plan is to buy producing oil and gas properties with goal of improving existing production, lowering costs, and exploiting any non producing acreage or up-hole or down-hole opportunities.

To date, they have purchased, financed, and resold a large acquisition of South Louisiana properties for an exceptional IRR. In 2008, Alpine purchased all of the onshore assets of a major gulf coast operator. They have also accumulated a large acreage position in an East Texas resource play and 5,600 acres in the Haynesville shale. Their strong suit is acquisitions in the $50 to $150 million range.
