Founded in 2024, United Beren is a Houston-based direct lending firm that specializes in providing asset-based financing solutions to U.S. lower middle-market oil and gas companies. The focus is on independent or sponsor-backed companies that sit outside of the traditional bank lending market due to size, concentration, or other structural factors. Limited competition, together with our sourcing network and technical and structuring expertise, supports our ability to originate and assess potential investment opportunities. The firm was founded and is backed by a multi-generational U.S. oil and gas family, and the investment team collectively has decades of experience with roles in credit, underwriting, energy financing, trading, portfolio management, private equity and E&P operations.
