Success and Opportunity Through Deployment of Private Equity
in the Canadian Oil & Gas Sector
Join us February 11, 2025, for lunch as we host a moderated panel discussion with John Oberg of Hawthorne and Tyson Huska of Longshore Resources, two CEOs leading private equity backed companies in western Canada. With capital market dynamics shifting over the past 15 years the private equity model has also evolved and matured. Private equity has been a critical source of capital in the basin through the commodity cycles and continues to offer opportunities for teams looking to start up new ventures. While public companies garner headline attention with quarterly announcements and operational updates, private equity has quietly driven exploration, growth and yield models aligned with the various investors and investment styles, while also being active within the A&D market, representing a key participant group in those processes.

Following the success of 3ROC II, 3ROC III assembled a significant position in the Delaware Basin which was sold to two private entities (upstream and midstream) in 2018. Prior to his time at Three Rivers, John held various energy private equity investing and finance roles for Riverstone and JPMorgan with a focus on the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors.

2025: Implications of Energy Being Viewed as Important (Once Again)
With the change in leadership in numerous countries, there is a simple recognition that economics and profitability matter. The challenge is that most newly-elected leaders also want low energy prices to address affordability issues. The result is that Energy is once again viewed as important, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the type of “support” that business development professionals might prefer. This discussion will cover “2025 forecasts” from several industry commentators, implications for commodity prices and transaction markets, and how the widening disparity between the U.S. and Canada is likely to affect access to capital for deals. Please join us for a dynamic discussion on the year-to-come.
Featuring Guest Speaker: Derek Wheatley, Head of TPH Canada

He focuses on advising companies on transactions, strategy, capital structure and special situations. Previously, he worked at Scotiabank and Waterous & Co.
