EnVen Energy, focused on legacy assets in the US Gulf of Mexico, has confidentially filed an S-1 form with the US Securities & Exchange Commission relating to a potential initial public offering.
EnVen, backed by private equity players Bain Capital and EIG in 2014, has since bought up stakes in a wide range of assets that broke deep-water barriers in their day but have since been sold off by the majors, including Shell's Cognac, Brutus and Glider fields and shares in Marathon's Lobster and Petronius assets.
