Riverstone Increases Commitment to Deepwater Gulf of Mexico Venture
Riverstone Global Energy and Power Fund V, L.P., an energy-focused private equity fund managed by Riverstone Holdings, will make a strategic investment alongside Ridgewood Energy Corporation, a private upstream oil and gas investment company, in a series of deepwater exploration projects located in the Gulf of Mexico. The Ridgewood management team will manage the investments on behalf of the venture. Combined with a similar commitment by an affiliate of Riverstone/Carlyle Global Energy and Power Fund IV, L.P. in 2010, this brings the total Riverstone sponsored fund commitment to the venture to over $550 million.
