"This transaction represents a continuation of our strategy of participating in energy sector joint ventures with quality operators in established basins," said Ronnie Scott, President of DCR.

"We are excited to complete our fourth transaction in this segment of the energy space. In each case, we have been able to structure a creative solution tailored to the needs of the operator," said Mat Loreman, Executive VP of DCR. "While the energy investment space remains challenging, it has been enjoyable to work directly with quality companies to find investment solutions that work for them and for DCR. We look forward to continuing to grow our portfolio of non-operated partnerships."



"This partnership reflects the flexible capital approach of Ares and our ability to customize transactions to the needs of operators," said Gary Levin, Partner in the Ares Private Equity Group. "We look forward to finding additional ways to utilize the scale and creativity of our platform to provide attractive capital solutions to the energy industry."
