Flywheel Energy

Description

Flywheel Energy began as Valorem Energy in early 2017 with backing from the Kayne Private Energy Income Fund. In 2017, Valorem acquired interests in the Williston Basin for $285 million, which the Flywheel organization continues to retain. In August 2018, the platform committed a second time to the management team with $700 million of equity in the form of the newly-formed Flywheel Energy. Flywheel Energy is a private exploration and production company formed to acquire and operate large, producing onshore U.S. oil and gas assets with an emphasis on the Rockies and Mid-Continent. 

In December 2018, Flywheel Energy closed on its acquisition of Southwestern Energy Company’s Fayetteville Shale Business. With this acquisition, Flywheel entities will have made over $2.1 billion of acquisitions since 2017.
