Perkins Brothers Launch Commodities Brokerage Platform

Sid Perkins, an energy industry veteran, launched Snapper Creek Energy, a new data-driven commodity brokerage focused on traditional, renewable, and transitional energy markets.

Potential clients include trading firms, macro hedge funds, banks, and oil corporations interested in leveraging three brokerage desks specializing in natural gas, carbon, and natural gas liquids (NGLs).

Brokers and research analysts on the new team will be able to provide in-depth research, proprietary data and analytics, and execution services.

Prior to founding the Miam-based firm along with his brother Ike, CFO, Sid Perkins was a managing partner at ION Energy Group, a commodity brokerage firm he founded in 2008. At ION, he worked on the natural gas brokerage desk, which was responsible for brokering the first-ever natural gas trade listed on the NASDAQ.

Prior to ION, he was a partner at LCM Commodities where he launched and oversaw the NGL brokerage desk. Earlier in his career, he oversaw the NGL business at Bank of America.

“The energy markets are ever-evolving, and as the global transition to a zero-carbon economy continues to drive market volatility, we believe there is a critical need for trusted brokerage partners who can help clients navigate shifting market complexities with speed and certainty,” said Sid Perkins.

Ike Perkins worked on the structuring and investments team at Mercuria Energy America, before founding Snapper Creek Energy, where he managed a portfolio of equity/debt investments in the renewable energy space. Prior to Mercuria, he was a VP in the Merchant Banking Group at Brown Brothers Harriman.
