Kerogen sells Zennor Petroleum to trade
Kerogen Capital has sold its majority stake in UK-based Zennor Petroleum to Neo Energy and HitecVision.
The deal is valued at a total consideration of up to $625m, including deferred and contingent payments, according to a statement.
Kerogen invested in Zennor (which was formerly known as E&P) in August 2015 in a deal that valued the company at around $100m. Kerogen invested via Kerogen Capital Fund II, which held a final close in August 2016. The fund closed alongside its parallel funds and related co-investment funds, which had total commitments of $830m.
The GP invested alongside Unigestion, which deployed equity via its Direct Opportunities 2015 vehicle. According to a statement issued at the time, the two GPs were able to commit up to $300m for future projects.
Kerogen said in a statement that growth during the investment period came from investment and projects including the development of Zennor's Finlaggan site.
