With energy demand rising, lifting costs skyrocketing and industry resources stretched thin, it's clear that the future of oil needs to look very different from its past.
For Carlyle / Riverstone Venture, First Reserve Corporation, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, and KERN Energy Partners Management Ltd., investing in Cobalt is an opportunity to invest in a different vision of the world's energy future. They have embraced Cobalt's vision as the right alternative to 'business as usual,' thus offering the potential for great rewards.
For Cobalt, being a privately funded company held by smart, far-sighted global financial institutions gives us the capital resources to do the job right and supports a business model that permits us to move quickly and decisively to seize opportunity and transform assets into value.
