Since its inception, NGP has invested in more than 300 transactions with more than 190 companies throughout the energy sector.

NGP Natural Resources XII has also previously received commitments of $75 million from the Public Employees Retirement Association of New Mexico and $50 million from the Teachers’ Retirement System of Louisiana.

The fund’s predecessor, NGP Natural Resources XI, held a $5.32 billion final close in 2015. NGP Natural Resources X held a $3.58 billion final close in 2012.
