Contango Oil & Gas Co
Contango Oil & Gas Co operates as a corporate investor focused on energy assets. Kenneth R. Peak founded the firm and served as its first CEO. John C. Goff succeeded to the chair and maintains ties to early partner Richard Rainwater. The firm holds producing properties in the Permian Basin, Rockies and Gulf of Mexico. Confirmed positions include the Jonah Field in Sublette County, Wyoming and the Elk Basin Field in the Big Horn Basin. Capital deployment centers on direct ownership of reserves rather than fund commitments. John C. Goff also serves as trustee of the Economic Club of New York and the Bruce Museum.

Contango maintains a corporate structure tied to successor vehicles such as Crescent Energy rather than a conventional family-office mandate.
