WHERE TO FIND ENERGY PRIVATE EQUITY FORUMS

All right boys,

Can you recommend any forums where I could approach people with interests in energy projects (OIL&GAS)?

I was on reddit and i did find two, but i was just wondering maybe there are some other channels that i might not be aware of. 

So basically I m looking for OIL&GAS investors. Thanks!

How is that possible? I am looking at the level of US reserves and it is obvious that without deploying capital on some sort of international partnerships, what are they going to do? My take on this is that in 10 years time , everyone will want to be in oil&gas. And alternatives are dust in the eyes.
