Following the success of FireBird Energy's $1.75 billion sale to Diamondback last year, the emergence of FireBird II signals a new chapter in the Permian Basin.
Get ready for some exciting news from the energy industry. FireBird Energy II, the new player in the Permian Basin, has just secured $500 million in equity funding to fuel their acquisitions. With backing from the esteemed private equity firm Quantum Energy Partners, FireBird Energy II is poised to make waves in the industry.
This Fort Worth-based company is the successor to FireBird Energy LLC, which made a name for itself in the Permian Basin. They're focused on acquiring and growing oil and gas assets in the Permian Basin, with a particular interest in the Midland Basin.
According to Travis Thompson, the co-founder, and CEO of this hot new company, they're ready to partner with Quantum Energy Partners and build on the success of FireBird I's recent sale. This partnership puts FireBird Energy II in a prime position to seize a host of exciting acquisition and development opportunities in the booming Permian Basin.
The deal included 75,000 gross (68,000 net) acres in the Midland Basin, over 450 vertical and horizontal wells
The company, which Thompson founded in 2019, quickly established itself as a major player in the Midland Basin.
Last year, FireBird made headlines again, this time for being acquired by E&P Diamondback Energy Inc. in a cash-and-stock deal worth an impressive $1.75 billion. As part of the transaction, Diamondback gained control of approximately 75,000 acres in the Midland Basin - a highly coveted asset in the industry - as well as over 450 vertical and horizontal wells.
After selling FireBird I to Diamondback, the company wasted no time in launching FireBird II, according to reports. And it seems that Quantum Partner Blake Webster is optimistic about the new venture's prospects, especially given the strategic importance of the Permian region. Webster believes that FireBird II has what it takes to create a platform of significant scale in the basin, setting the stage for even greater success in the future.
Quantum's investment is already bearing fruit
At the start of this year, Quantum made a bold move by pledging over $500 million in equity capital to Bison Oil & Gas IV LLC. Bison's sights were set on acquiring and developing a presence in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, spanning both Colorado and Wyoming.
The company has already closed several high-value acquisitions, snapping up over 75,000 net acres with an impressive current production rate of over 25,000 boe/d. Quantum's investment is already bearing fruit, and it looks like there's plenty of potential for even greater success in the future.
