Lime Rock Difference

Lime Rock Partners is a different kind of investment partner.

Founded in 1998, Lime Rock Partners is a creative, value-adding, and long-term investor of growth capital in energy companies worldwide. With $3.5 billion of private capital under management and $3.0 billion in the Lime Rock Partners funds, the Lime Rock Partners team uses its deep interdisciplinary expertise, global network of relationships, and track record of value creation to help its investors and portfolio company management teams profit from exceptional growth.

Creative and flexible approach. Lime Rock Partners knows that no two great investments are ever the same. It structures every investment differently, whether it’s a company developing oil sands in Canada, natural gas in Latin America, or a new well technology in the U.K.

True investment partner. Lime Rock Partners is a true partner with its portfolio company management teams. It never charges transaction or advisory fees, and its deep interdisciplinary expertise and global network of relationships allows it to add value to its portfolio company investments.

Global strategy. Lime Rock Partners brings its experience investing in energy service, oil service technology, exploration & production, and other companies worldwide to all of its portfolio companies. It backs great management teams of growing energy companies and buys corporate divisions—or assets—and finds the right leaders to guide them.

Strong track record of value creation. Lime Rock Partners’ experience in creating significant value for its investors and portfolio company management teams is critical to its ability to continue to be a value-adding partner.

Long-term view. Lime Rock Partners is a patient investor that understands the ups and downs of the energy business. Its investment horizon is years, not quarters.
