About Us

Bandera is an energy investment firm focused on minerals and royalties in oil and gas.  Our team has experience acquiring, managing and divesting minerals and royalties at scale.  We also have extensive experience in the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors of energy, having seen each through the lens of our time at operating companies, private equity firms or investment banks.  We believe this provides a unique advantage to our ability to understand the risks and opportunities.  As energy-focused professionals, we are constantly seeking avenues to leverage our experience and relationships to generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns.

Bandera is backed through a joint venture partnership, Emory Peak Minerals, with funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc.  Through our JV with Apollo we have acquired a balanced mix of oil and gas properties, including ~30K NRA in the Eagle Ford play located in South Texas, ~26K NRA in Appalachia including Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, and ~12K NRA in the SCOOP/STACK plays of Oklahoma.
