The transaction is the most recent of a large number of private equity funded transactions focused on the upstream and midstream segments of the oil and gas industry consummated by Jackson Walker for its clients this year. In these transactions, Jackson Walker has represented management teams creating new opportunities with private equity backing, existing operating companies raising private equity capital, and private equity funds investing in upstream and midstream opportunities.
