August 24, 2017 – HOUSTON, TX – Quantum Energy Partners, a leading energy private equity firm, is pleased to announce the formation of Vitruvian Exploration IV with industry veterans Richard Lane, John Thaeler and Brian Rickmers.  Supported by a $450 million equity commitment from Quantum, Vitruvian IV is actively building a portfolio of high quality, emerging and undeveloped oil and gas assets in North American unconventional resource plays.  Vitruvian IV is the third consecutive partnership between Quantum, Lane, Thaeler and Rickmers.

Vitruvian IV will initially be focused on the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas.  To-date, the Company has acquired or contracted to acquire ~120,000 net acres of undeveloped and highly contiguous leasehold in one of its target areas.  This includes the acquisition of Sanchez Energy’s (NYSE:SN) recently announced ~70,000 net acre Javelina asset divestment.  The acreage acquired by Vitruvian IV possesses world class resource rock properties, is optimally situated for long-lateral development and has no existing midstream dedications which will provide for an optimal long-term development strategy.  Vitruvian IV will commence operations on its Eagle Ford assets during the fourth quarter of 2017.

The Vitruvian IV team is led by Richard Lane as Executive Chairman, John Thaeler as Chief Executive Officer and Brian Rickmers as Chief Financial Officer.  Prior to the formation of Vitruvian IV, Lane, Thaeler and Rickmers were the founders and senior leaders of Quantum-backed Vitruvian Exploration II and Vitruvian Exploration III.  Vitruvian II acquired, delineated and developed a core position in Oklahoma’s SCOOP play which was ultimately sold to Gulfport Energy (NASDAQ:GPOR) in February 2017 for $1.85 billion.  Vitruvian III followed a similar strategy on a smaller scale in Oklahoma’s STACK play which was sold to an undisclosed buyer in April 2017.  Prior to Vitruvian, both Lane and Thaeler were senior executives at Southwestern Energy Company (NYSE:SWN), and Rickmers was Chief Commercial Officer at Newfield Exploration Company (NYSE:NFX).

Lane, Thaeler and Rickmers are supported by a highly experienced and seasoned team who provide a strong operating platform to focus on the immediate execution of the Company’s strategy.  The team has been working together successfully for nearly a decade and has an outstanding track record of creating value in unconventional resource plays.

“Vitruvian is proud to extend its long-standing partnership with Quantum,” remarked Lane.  “When we set out to find a financial partner in 2012, we wanted a technically minded, long-term, strategic partner who could help us achieve our goals and maximize value.  As evidenced by our past successes with Vitruvian II and Vitruvian III, we found exactly what we were looking for with Quantum.”

Dheeraj Verma, President of Quantum, commented, “We are very pleased to partner again with Richard, John, Brian and the entire management team at Vitruvian IV.  They are a team of talented and motivated individuals who are exceptional at evaluating and then developing unconventional reservoirs. This team has consistently created significant value for all stakeholders through the application of technology and best operating practices in a safe and responsible manner.”

WPX Energy Makes Delaware Basin Dedication to New System

MIDLAND, TX – September 18, 2017 – Oryx Midstream Services II, LLC (Oryx II) announced today that it will build a new regional crude oil transportation pipeline serving the Delaware Basin with initial capacity of up to 400,000 barrels per day. Oryx II recently closed on a long-term regional oil transportation agreement with WPX Energy (NYSE: WPX) and other producers bringing total acres committed to Oryx II to approximately 300,000 dedicated acres.  When combined with Oryx Midstream Services, LLC (Oryx I), the total Oryx Delaware basin dedication footprint and system capacity will be in excess of 850,000 acres and 600,000 barrels per day, respectively.

Construction will begin immediately on the new 220-mile regional transport line that will provide receipt points from the Carlsbad, Stateline, Pecos and Pyote areas, and deliver crude to Crane and Midland, Texas. The system, comprised of 16-, 20- and 24-inch lines, will have an initial capacity of up to 400,000 barrels per day with the ability to expand based on shipper needs. It will serve production from every active county in the Delaware Basin including Lea and Eddy counties in New Mexico and Loving, Reeves, Ward, Pecos, Winkler and Culberson counties in Texas. The new crude oil pipeline will be constructed in phases and is expected to be in full service by the end of 2018.

“As ongoing improvements are made in drilling technologies and rig counts in the Delaware Basin increase, production growth from Oryx’s customer base, including WPX, continues to be strong. With this strong production growth comes transportation bottlenecks, an issue that this new pipeline will address, providing much-needed takeaway capacity in the area,” said Oryx Chief Executive Officer Brett Wiggs. “The Oryx team remains focused on improving and expanding our asset base, to not only meet producers’ current needs but also anticipate the future needs of our customers.”

Karl Pfluger, Oryx President, said “The combined footprint of our crude gathering and transportation system is unparalleled.  Based on our current and future customers’ needs, we are considering strategic opportunities to leverage the unique scale of our combined footprint to better serve producers in the Delaware basin. One of these strategic opportunities includes a potential long-haul transport system to the Gulf Coast.”

Oryx I was launched in 2014 by an initial equity commitment totaling up to $300 million from Quantum Energy Partners, Post Oak Energy Capital, Wells Fargo Energy Capital, Oryx management and other private investors.  In March 2017, Oryx II closed on an equity commitment of $340 million from the same sponsor group, bringing the total commitment to Oryx to $640 million.
