    Stonehill Capital Partners mandate is to source and structure for acquisition, established cash-flowing energy assets, primarily PDP (Proven - Developed - Producing) that can cost effectively be packaged with well experienced operators, along with the appropriate financial support to re-invent them at today's current economics. This strategy is focused on the outstanding "inventory" or productive assets that have either been assessed as not strategic to the large, E&P Companies, for acquisition, in established oil & gas plays that not only provide for the cash-flow component, but also additional inherent assets that can be enhanced economically through cash-flow, or near-term finance with payback analysis in less then 48 mos. Most, if not all of the current opportunities SCP has targeted meet or exceed these effective investment guidelines.The association of well known and experienced operator(s) and the coordinated financial investor or Investment Banking and Private Equity support has allowed for a very robust and strong financial model, that can be hedged to cover significant market vibration, as well as being well positioned to grow, even in the upside market range of $45+/- Oil, or $2.25 MCF Gas.This structure creates superior, long-term investment returns, as well as low risk. Effectively, SPC has "reverse engineered" the standard energy model of seeking appreciation of acquisition of "reserves" and getting that as a by-product of their investment strategy and targeting. This commitment to building long-term relationships with our investors, investment partners, and colleagues, by employing professional, fact-based analysis and approach, provides for a successful and high return, while discipline of low-risk, established, cash-flowing asset acquisition.
