Premier investment banking firm that provides unmatched industry expertise.
Although many in our field view energy services and equipment as a homogeneous niche of the energy sector, we view it much differently. Our founding partners began their careers in the energy service industry at firms that are involved in different operating areas. These firms include FMC, Halliburton, Pool Energy Services (now part of NexTier), and Dual Drilling (now part of Valaris). We have a deep understanding of the entire energy value chain.
After successfully beginning careers in energy services, each of our founding partners migrated into investment banking. At Parks Paton Hoepfl & Brown (PPHB), we bring together tremendous investment banking insight from a cross-section of the firms from large institutions like Chase Securities (now JPMorgan Chase) and CIBC World Markets to smaller, more middle-market focused firms like Raymond James and Rauscher Pierce. Prior to PPHB, our founding partners managed public and private debt offerings and advised on both the sell and buy sides of mergers and acquisitions.
Since formation in 2003, this foundation has proved valuable. PPHB has represented some of the sector’s larger public companies, top private equity firms, and many renowned family and entrepreneur-owned companies.
Firm Principles
Better industry knowledge, both technical and market, translates into more efficient execution. Industry knowledge is founded on experience that cannot be created overnight. At PPHB, this knowledge is developed and maintained by our focus and passion for the oilfield equipment and service business. Relationships are our business. Strong relationships are founded on integrity and trust. PPHB values its long-term industry relationships and works every day to build and maintain this network. Lower transaction risk translates into higher transaction value.
Successful transactions are based on communicating clear and reliable information. When selling securities or assets, confidence in the information and its sources means better value. At PPHB, we strive to present the most transparent and factual information possible – minimizing surprises and earning respect in the market. Experience only benefits clients when they have access to it. Senior-level attention is paramount. At PPHB, there is no “B” Team. All engagements are led by partners, and through our ownership, all Partners’ interests are aligned with your success.
