HOUSTON, March 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Juniper Capital Advisors, L.P. (“Juniper”) today announced that it has conducted the final close of Juniper Capital III, L.P. (the “Fund”) at its hard cap of $677.5 million, including $27.5 million from the general partner of the Fund. The Fund continues the investment strategy of its predecessor fund, Juniper Capital II, L.P., targeting lower middle-market equity investments in private oil and gas companies located in the continental United States.

We remain excited about the investment opportunities that we are seeing, and look forward to using our unique network and approach to source and prosecute high quality investments.”

Kevin Cumming, Partner, added: “The presence and reputation we have established in the marketplace for lower middle-market E&P investments continues to attract great management teams who want to partner with us. And our mix of technical and finance-oriented professionals allows us to evaluate potential investments quickly and ‘speak the same language’ with existing and potential partners.”

Richard Gordon, Partner, continued: “The past few years have been one of the more tumultuous periods in the oil & gas industry that I have witnessed during my entire career. The quality and experience of the Juniper team, combined with our outstanding management team partners and our blue-chip investor base, has allowed us to capitalize on this volatility, and we expect to continue to generate value for our investors in Juniper Capital III.”
