Headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, BlackRidge has demonstrated success in identifying prospective areas, developing geological analysis, acquiring properties, and executing strategies to create value. The BlackRidge team has extensive industry experience and strong relationships among the oil and gas community across the country, giving BlackRidge a competitive advantage in identifying prospects, developing resources, and producing solid growth and returns for investors on a long-term basis. Our founders have invested their careers in the oil and gas space. From developing small start-ups to running a public company, they have significant experience in all facets of the industry. Throughout their careers, they have been involved in much of Kentucky’s oil and gas legislation and taken active roles in both state and national industry organizations. Our Managing Partners have worked together for more than 20 years, having formed and built NGAS Resources, Inc. At the time of its merger with a NYSE-listed company in 2011, NGAS’s assets included 350,000 acres of leasehold, interests in 1,400 oil and gas wells, and two natural gas utilities. NGAS built over 500 miles of natural gas gathering systems over it’s history. In 2011, Global Hunter Securities recognized NGAS in its 2011 Finding & Development Cost Study as the company with the lowest drillbit F&D cost per BOE in 2010, as well as on its three- and five-year basis studies. NGAS was listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
