HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Nov 3, 2014) - Quantum Energy Partners ("Quantum") and ExL Petroleum ("ExL") are pleased to announce the formation of ExL Petroleum Management, LLC to engage in the acquisition and development of oil and gas assets across the Permian Basin. Quantum and members of the ExL management team have collectively made capital commitments in excess of $500 million to this partnership.
ExL was founded in 2005 by Doug Robison, Dave Feavel, and Mike LaMonica (together the "Management Partners") and since inception has acquired, developed, and sold multiple Permian Basin asset packages for proceeds in excess of $1 billion at very attractive returns.

This highly experienced and proven team is focused on building a sizeable business in West Texas that is grounded in superior technical and operating expertise.
Robison remarked on the closing, "We are thrilled to be partners with Quantum. It's no secret that the Permian Basin has been turned on its side with the surge of horizontal activity. Quantum's level of capital commitment and financial expertise, coupled with ExL's operational excellence and history in the Permian Basin, will allow ExL to substantially grow its business and remain very competitive in the top oil and gas play in the world."
