Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some lesser-known energy funds that are worth considering:

  1. NGP Spin-offs:

    • Edge
    • Pearl
    • Carnelian
  2. Post Oak Energy Capital

  3. Juniper Capital:

    • Noted for being very active lately and backing new companies.
  4. Waterous Energy Fund

These funds are expanding and deploying capital, providing clear-cut opportunities for longer-term positions.
