ABOUT US

Our History

Five States is a private equity investment group founded in 1985 by James A. Gibbs, based in Dallas, Texas. The company is a classic value investor, focusing on longer-term, income generating direct investments in the energy sector. Five States uses a disciplined fundamentals based investment approach based on discounted cash flow analysis. Our investment approach also includes risk management practices such as commodity hedging to reduce short-term volatility of cash flow and maximize value.   

Five States’ core focus is in acquiring non-operated working interests in long-life producing oil and gas properties. Five States also partners with oil and gas operators in development projects, including infill and step-out drilling opportunities. With over 36 years of experience in the oil and gas industry we can quickly evaluate investment opportunities and provide flexible solutions that satisfy all parties.
