Our Company
K-L Energy Partners, LLC ("K-L") was created to invest private equity capital in targeted sectors of the energy industry.  The fund will focus its investments in the midstream and downstream sectors of the energy industry, which generally encompasses all aspects of the purchase, delivery and sale of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and other derivative products as between the point of production and the point of consumption or end-use.
K-L will concentrate its investment efforts in two main areas:
  • Mid-to later-stage growth capital for, or acquisition of, companies which provide products or services to the midstream or downstream energy sector, or certain niche power sectors, such as generation, transmission or distribution, or
  • The acquisition or recapitalization of asset-oriented companies in these sectors which are either (a) platforms for larger, more strategic growth initiatives, (b) candidates to benefit from new strategic commercial focus, and/or (c) experiencing operating or financial distress.
In identifying situations to invest in within these areas, the fund will focus on products, services or technologies that address current industry issues, and on those assets which can be improved through the introduction of other strategic market thrusts, the combination with other strategic assets to achieve economies of scale, or the restructuring of commercial contracts, operating expenses, or capital structure. K-L will primarily seek control investments but will consider influential minority investments provided sufficient negative control and corporate governance provisions can be negotiated.
