Grey Rock Energy Management, LLC

James C. Springer, CEO, oversees all investment decisions at Grey Rock Energy Management (per the firm). He is supported by Richard A. Fagan as CFO and John D. Rainer as Head of Investments. The team's deep energy sector experience drives the firm's strategy.

Grey Rock sources deal flow through its established industry relationships, built over two decades of focused energy investing (per the firm). These relationships with operators, landowners, and service companies provide access to direct investment opportunities that may not be broadly marketed.

Grey Rock Energy Management is structured as an independent investment manager, not a family office. It manages capital on behalf of institutional clients, while the founding team may have personal capital co-invested. The firm's focus on energy exclusively distinguishes it from diversified private equity firms.

Grey Rock pursues both direct investments and fund commitments (per the firm). Direct deals include equity and debt in upstream, midstream, and energy transition projects, while fund commitments provide exposure to third-party managers in the energy space.

Grey Rock targets a range of stages from development-stage projects to established operating assets (per the firm). This flexibility allows participation across the energy lifecycle, from early-stage drilling programs to mature infrastructure with steady cash flows.

Grey Rock avoids sectors outside the energy industry. Unlike diversified asset managers, it does not invest in technology, healthcare, real estate, or other non-energy verticals. This focus is central to the firm's strategy.

Public records do not indicate a separate philanthropic foundation directly associated with Grey Rock Energy Management. The firm may engage in community giving in its Texas operating regions, but no formal structure is disclosed.
