Ridgewood Capital
Ridgewood Energy was founded in 1982 to invest in oil and gas exploration and development. Since that time Ridgewood has raised approximately $2.5 Billion in private equity and invested in some of the largest and most productive oil and gas projects in the United States by partnering with industry leaders including Chevron, Apache, BHP Billiton, El Paso, Newfield, and Devon.
