Intervale is one of the only private equity firms focused solely on middle-market investments in the oilfield services sector. We believe that a strong focus in an area in which the firm has expertise is the best way for a private equity group to create long-term significant value for all parties involved. Our senior professionals have led over 40 private equity transactions and over 60 public company acquisitions and divestures, the majority of which have been in the energy sector.
As devoted analysts of the latest trends and fundamentals in the industry, we believe that the energy service sector can look forward to a healthy investment climate for the next decade or more.

This is driving the need for an increasing number of wells along with new technologies and services to find and produce hydrocarbons in increasingly challenging conditions.
