Silver Hill Energy Partners Closes $1.3B Fund to Expand Multi-Basin Shale Portfolio
Silver Hill Energy Partners has completed the final close of Silver Hill Energy Partners V, LP, raising $1.277 billion in capital commitments as institutional investors continue to back U.S. upstream energy opportunities.
The firm’s fifth partnership and third institutional private equity fund closed oversubscribed, attracting commitments from endowments, pension funds, medical and family foundations, and family offices. Silver Hill said most investors were existing limited partners.
Fund V will continue Silver Hill’s long-standing focus on acquiring, operating and developing onshore oil, natural gas and related midstream infrastructure assets across premier U.S. shale basins. The partnership is already substantially invested following its large-scale acquisition of Eagle Ford Shale assets announced in January 2026.
Since its founding in 2011, Silver Hill has raised approximately $4.15 billion in cumulative capital commitments.
“Our objective is to help meet growing global energy demand as a leading multi-basin shale operator, while utilizing our financial, operational and technical capabilities to consistently generate attractive long-term returns for our investors,” said Founder and Chief Executive Officer Kyle D. Miller.
Silver Hill has completed 16 large-scale acquisitions and divestitures since inception and developed five strategically important midstream projects supporting its upstream operations.
Today, the firm’s portfolio spans approximately 192,000 net acres across the Haynesville and Bossier formations in East Texas and North Louisiana, the Bakken and Three Forks formations in North Dakota, and the Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk formations in South Texas.
The predominantly producing asset base includes more than 1,350 identified drilling locations. Silver Hill currently operates four drilling rigs and produces approximately 500 million cubic feet of natural gas per day and 20,000 barrels of oil per day.
The Piper Sandler & Co. private capital advisory group, Aviditi Advisors, and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, served as Silver Hill’s placement agent and legal counsel, respectively, during the fundraising process.
