22 institutional funds raised, more than $38 billion of capital commitments.
Approximately $22 billion invested in more than 240 companies since 1988.

One of EnCap’s core strengths is the cohesiveness and experience of its management team. EnCap is led by six principals: the four founding partners — David B. Miller, Gary R. Petersen, D. Martin Phillips and Robert L. Zorich — and two additional managing partners — Jason M. DeLorenzo and Douglas E. Swanson, Jr. The founders have led EnCap since inception and have a professional working relationship that spans more than 35 years, while the three other managing partners have an average of 28 years of industry-related experience, including an average of more than 15 years tenure at EnCap. In addition to the managing partners, the firm has six additional partners with an average of more than 21 years of related oil and gas experience and an additional 21 oil and gas investment professionals on its investment staff, including six petroleum engineers. The depth, experience and continuity of EnCap’s investment staff are among the key characteristics that distinguish the firm in the oil and gas investment space. The EnCap team also includes three investor relations professionals and an 11-person fund administration staff, which includes nine certified public accountants.

The EnCap Flatrock Midstream team is led by its three founders — Dennis F. Jaggi, William R. Lemmons, and William D. Waldrip — and three additional managing partners — Gregory C. King, David J. Kurtz and Sam Pitts. In addition to these principals, the EnCap Flatrock team includes highly qualified midstream investment and technical professionals. The EnCap Flatrock team has offices in San Antonio, Houston and Oklahoma City.

Our Energy Transition efforts are led by Jim Hughes, Tim Rebhorn, Shawn Cumberland and Kellie Metcalf, a team of highly qualified executives with a proven track record of value creation in the electric power and alternative energy space and an extensive network of relevant industry contacts. The Energy Transition team has more than 110 years of combined experience building successful teams in the power and renewable sectors.
