There are signs, however, that firms are warming up to the sector again. Quantum Energy Partners, one of the largest private-equity players in the U.S. energy industry, this month backed an oil-field services company for the first time since mid-2013. If the U.S. energy industry keeps its momentum, more private-equity firms may feel inclined to increase their bets in the services sector. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/garcias-take-pe-firms-head-for-the-exits-in-oil-field-services-1517488200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/garcias-take-pe-firms-head-for-the-exits-in-oil-field-services-1517488200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-mce-target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nepc.com\/private-wealth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/09\/wsj_pro_logo-1.png\" alt=\"wsj_pro_logo-1.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"105\" \/><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;123205&#8243;]WSJ Pro article &#8220;PE Firms Head for the Exits in Oil-Field Services&#8221; includes comments from NEPC&#8217;s Matt Ritter, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":95,"featured_media":1335,"template":"","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"newsroom_categories":[81],"newsroom_tags":[83,103,86],"class_list":["post-1334","newsroom","type-newsroom","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newsroom_categories-in-the-news","newsroom_tags-press-coverage","newsroom_tags-private-equity","newsroom_tags-research"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
