About this episode
Family offices are rolling into the energy game in a big way, and Chuck sits down with a couple of guys who’ve been right in the thick of it. We’re talking old-money families, London power players, and some seriously savvy strategies, like continuation vehicles, that are flipping the script on traditional deals. Keith and Brad from Stephens Inc. break it all down: what’s drawing these investors to oil and gas (hint: it’s not just the money), why Europe’s cash is flowing stateside, and how the secondary basins are getting their glow-up. If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind the curtain in today’s biggest mineral and royalty plays, this one peels it back.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.
