About DERBY PARTNERS
Our Mission
At Derby Partners, we believe that all sources of energy will be required as the world moves toward decarbonizing fuels and industrial processes. Energy diversification is critical to providing energy cost-effectively while decreasing carbon content. We invest in upstream and midstream oil & gas assets globally and targeted decarbonization assets with attractive economics. Our mission is to create a sustainable future by investing in assets that help accelerate decarbonization and enable energy diversification.
Our Experience
Our management team has broad experience across the entire energy value chain and a strong track record of investing success. Our team of experts has the knowledge and skills to deliver proprietary investments that generate superior returns and diversify risk.
Our Approach
We invest in oil & gas assets ranging from existing, established production to new exploration opportunities. Our global presence and extensive relationships allow us to access opportunities that are proprietary, and where we can leverage our expertise. We will also target direct investments in decarbonization assets, including carbon capture & storage (CCS), blue hydrogen production, biogas and biofuels, and land investments supporting solar and wind in the United States to further diversify investment risk.
ABOUT OUR BUSINESSES
Derby Investments
Our platform for investing in upstream and midstream oil & gas assets globally. We have technical and business expertise in many oil and gas provinces around the world and our multi-national management team has experience around the world.
We target oil & gas assets that can become the foundation for sustainable energy businesses globally. We desire assets in geographies with attractive commodity prices, where supply has been constrained, where our technical expertise can enhance either existing production or exploration assessments, or when the underlying resource is of appreciable size to potentially be a "game changer".
Derby Minerals
Our platform for mineral & royalty investments in the United States. Management's extensive experience in all aspects of land acquisition, leasing, drilling, operations, and asset development provides the expertise for Derby to continue and extend their successful mineral and royalty acquisition strategy begun in 2019.
We approach acquisition from technically driven, proprietary analysis with strategic operating partners to balance established, long-lived production from existing wells with upside from drilling and/or application of technology. Derby actively manages the minerals post-acquisition to promote early drilling, driving increased production under attractive lease terms, and we retain the option to drill wells on our own minerals to further enhance value.
Derby Carbon
Our platform for investing in decarbonization assets. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and other emerging sectors related to reducing carbon intensity and decarbonizing industrial processes can provide upside potential to our oil & gas investments.
Our unique strategy is to build, own, and operate full value chain CCS projects tailored to emitters in hard-to-abate industries to eliminate CO2 emissions affordably. Additional opportunities in biogas and biofuels leverage our experience and diversify investment risk.
Derby Hydrogen
Our hydrogen investment platform will pursue an opportunistic strategy of investing in assets that are potentially complimentary to CCS investments and/or leverage management's substantial experience in oil and gas.
Production of blue hydrogen from natural gas utilizing CCS and application of appropriate technology to produce low-carbon hydrogen is a more economic approach to hydrogen generation than expensive "green" hydrogen. Our expertise creates additional investment opportunities, diversification of risk, and substantial upside for Derby.
