High River Resources II, LP Closes at $205 Million, Exceeding Target
High River Resources Management, a leading player in the U.S. oil and gas sector, has achieved a significant milestone with the successful closing of its second private equity fund, High River Resources II, LP, in July 2025. The fund raised approximately $205 million, surpassing its target by more than 35%.
The fund received strong backing from institutional investors, registered investment advisors, and family offices across the country. The managing partners, Robert Vaughn, Andrew Imel, and Perry Cunningham, expressed their gratitude for the support received, stating that it positions High River Resources to build on its prior successes in a dynamic energy market.
High River Resources focuses on acquiring and optimizing high-quality, producing oil and gas assets across the U.S. The firm targets equity investments ranging from $25 million to $200 million, with potential for larger co-investments. Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld served as legal counsel for the formation of Fund II.
The firm has already made its first acquisition under Fund II in the Texas Panhandle Field. High River leverages its affiliated operating company to directly drive value creation through operational expertise and focused execution. The managing partners emphasized the strength of their team and operating company, indicating their confidence in pursuing additional opportunities in core U.S. oil and gas regions.
In summary, High River Resources' recent acquisition is the Texas Panhandle oil and gas asset, and their future plans involve actively seeking further high-quality oil and gas asset investments across core U.S. basins with the capital raised from their successful second fund closing.
