摘要

Charles C. Stephenson graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 1959 with a petroleum engineering degree, and set out to build E&P companies. His latest is Tulsa-hased Premier Natural Resources LLC, founded in 2006. Its 20 employees pursue a traditional acquire-and-exploit business model that proved successful in his prior companies. Premier formed a partnership in February 2010 with private-equity giant KKR to acquire even larger properties. The goal of KKR Natural Resources (KNR) is to acquire as much as $/ billion of long-life assets per year, he says.
