Investor Insight Series
Interview with Robert Bose, Principal & Managing Member at Charlestown Capital
by Energy Council | Jul 20, 2023
Robert Bose, Principal & Managing Member at Charlestown Capital Advisors is the latest expert to join the Energy Council as part of our Investor Insights New York special, having joined a panel at the New York Energy Capital Assembly on Rediscovering the “E” in E&P, looking at what will be the most impactful driver of value over the next decade as operators weigh up remaining inventory.
In this episode he summarises his panel discussion to address how the underinvestment in exploration and the dissipation of traditional capital has opened up generational opportunities for family offices to invest in oil and gas. He then proceeds to elaborate on the two approaches employed by Charlestown Capital Advisors to achieve high return outcomes, which involves focusing on both exploration and production.
“Being in the exploration business means absorbing a lot of risk and being able to deal with loss… but we really like that business because it has the potential to create the kind of returns we're looking for.”
