Energy Ventures is an independent venture capital firm dedicated to new upstream oil and gas technologies. From the initial investment to the exit, we take a hands-on approach. By truly partnering with our portfolio companies, we ensure the most effective use of capital and talent. Our method is proven by our record: since Energy Ventures’ creation in 2002 we’ve reviewed more than 1,500 deals, made twenty-four investments and successfully exited eight companies.

With a total committed capital of NOK 2.33 billion ($400 million USD), we currently manage and advise four venture funds. Investments range from $5-20 million per company, with typical holding of 10 to 40 percent of equity.

Our fund managers, partners and advisors come from oil and gas backgrounds, giving us a true understanding of the industry and its technology needs. Headquartered in Stavanger, with offices in Houston and Aberdeen, Energy Ventures is located where the energy industry and technology innovations thrive. From this perspective, we can transform our portfolio’s energy technology concepts into lucrative businesses.
