Our Focus Areas

Maven’s strategy entails executing acquisitions in the most prolific resource plays in the continental U.S. The firm defines target areas based on oil and gas reserve potential with emphasis on operator quality and fiscal ability to develop acreage in the foreseeable future.

Permian Basin

The Permian Basin is one of the most prolific and mature oil and gas basins in the United States, with commercial drilling dating back to the early 1920s. With over 150,000 active wells across 52 counties, it remains a primary area of focus for many operators. Recent development has shifted towards horizontal drilling and pad development, capitalizing on the “stacked pay” potential of the Midland and Delaware sub-basins.

MRP Acquisition Focus:

  • Delaware Basin:Culberson, Eddy, Lea, Loving, Ward, and Reeves Counties
  • Midland Basin:Midland, Glasscock, Upton, Howard, Martin, and Reagan Counties
  • Interest in both producing and non-producing assets

 

Eagle Ford (South Texas)

Discovered in 2008, the Eagle Ford has been one of the most actively developed shale plays in the U.S. Technological advancements—particularly longer laterals and optimized spacing—have enhanced well productivity and recoverable reserves.

MRP Acquisition Focus:

  • Targeting core mineral opportunities
  • Actively pursuing deals in Karnes, DeWitt, and Gonzales Counties

 

Haynesville

Ranking just behind the Marcellus in recoverable gas, the Haynesville benefits from its proximity to Gulf Coast LNG export infrastructure, making it a strategically vital play for natural gas.

MRP Acquisition Focus:

  • Louisiana Parishes:Bossier, Bienville, Caddo, De Soto, Sabine, Red River
  • Texas Counties:Panola, Harrison, San Augustine
  • Focused on select natural gas mineral acquisitions

 

Uinta Basin (Northeastern Utah)

Rich in oil, gas, and oil shale, the Uinta Basin features a geologic history favorable to long-term hydrocarbon production. Its sedimentary and tectonic composition has made it a steady contributor to regional and national energy output.

MRP Acquisition Focus:

  • Duchesne and Uintah Counties

 

DJ Basin

The DJ Basin has emerged as a key unconventional oil and gas play, largely due to horizontal drilling in the Niobrara Formation. Its productive geology and infrastructure access make it a cost-effective area for development.

MRP Acquisition Focus:

  • Weld County, CO
  • Targeting select asset opportunities
