Founded in 2005, Riverstone Investment Group LLC (collectively with our affiliates, “we,”
“our firm,” “the firm” or “Riverstone”) is an investment advisory services firm specializing
in investment management for private equity funds. The sole owner of our firm is
Riverstone Holdings LLC. Founders Pierre F. Lapeyre, Jr. and David M. Leuschen are the
principal owners of and control Riverstone Holdings LLC indirectly through certain
intermediate entities. Riverstone Investment Group LLC was formerly known as
Riverstone Investment Services LLC.
Our firm offers investment advisory services to private equity and credit funds (generally
referred to in this Brochure as our clients or our funds) sponsored by Riverstone Holdings
LLC or its affiliates and, with respect to certain funds, jointly with our joint venture partner,
The Carlyle Group.
We specialize in buyout, growth capital and other equity and debt investments in the energy
and power sectors, and our advice encompasses most segments of the energy and power
industry globally, including the following:
• exploration of oil and gas as well as other natural energy sources,
• midstream energy activities such as transportation and distribution of products and
logistics associated with managing supply and demand across geographic regions and
over time,
• electric generation (i.e., the conversion of raw materials, primarily coal, natural gas and
crude oil derivatives, into electricity),
• energy and power service,
• renewable and alternative energy, including wind, biofuels, biomass, geothermal,
hydroelectric, solar photovoltaic and solar thermal energy; and
• decarbonization, with a particular focus on grid flexibility and resilience, electrification
of transport, agriculture and natural resource plays, next generation fuels and next
horizon resource use plays.
We oversee and manage certain of our existing sponsored investment funds, other
investment vehicles and their investments through joint ventures with entities owned by

existing jointly sponsored investment funds has an investment committee composed of
members of our firm and The Carlyle Group. The investment committee agrees on
investment strategies and portfolio investments. Our firm’s and The Carlyle Group’s
