Ridgewood Energy is primarily engaged in the business of furnishing investment, supervisory and management services to pooled investment vehicles it sponsors (the “Ridgewood Funds”).

The first are the Ridgewood Funds that were primarily raised through a network of independent FINRA registered broker-dealers; referred to in this Brochure as the “IBD Funds”. The Company does not anticipate sponsoring any new IBD Funds, but continues to manage the IBD Funds’ investments in Projects (as defined below). The second are the Ridgewood Funds that only accept investments from institutions meeting the definition of qualified purchaser under the Investment Company Act of 1940; these funds are referred to in this Brochure as the “Institutional Funds”. Ridgewood Energy also provides advisory and management services to a group of related institutional investors (collectively, the “Institutional Clients”; together with the Ridgewood Funds, the “Clients”) in connection with investments in the Projects.

Generally, the services Ridgewood Energy provides its Clients include (the “Services”):
• Performing due diligence on, and selecting or recommencing Projects for investment by the Clients.
• Monitoring the drilling activities of exploratory and developmental Projects and the development and production of successful Projects.1 The day-to-day operations of the Projects are the responsibility of a project operator under an agreement (e.g. a joint operating agreement) with the Ridgewood Funds or SPC that owns an interest in such Project and other owners of the Project.
• Handling financial matters, such as audits and tax matters, regulatory issues (including filings with regulatory agencies), legal matters and other general corporate and related matters.
