Our History

Operating and advising through many cycles
Although many in our field view oilfield services as a homogeneous niche of the energy sector, we view it much differently. Our founding partners began their careers in the oilfield service industry at firms that are involved in differing operating areas. These firms include: FMC, Halliburton, Pool Energy Services (now part of Nabors Industries) and Dual Drilling (now part of Ensco). We have field understanding of drilling, oilfield equipment – both drilling and production related - and oilfield services from drilling and completion through production and abandonment.

Mid-career, each of our founding partners migrated into investment banking. We bring together tremendous investment banking insight from a cross section of the firms from large institutions like Chase Securities (now JPMorgan Chase), and CIBC World Markets to smaller, more middle-market focused firms like Raymond James, Rauscher Pierce and Growth Capital Partners. Prior to PPHB, our founding partners managed public and private equity offerings, public and private debt offerings and advised on both the buy and sell sides of mergers and acquisitions.
