In the current energy market, developing assets often requires companies to divest holdings or even acquire entire assets to reach fiscal targets. Acquisitions are a regular occurrence across the international energy marketplace, and now, Lane42 Investment Partners, an alternative asset management firm in the United States, has acquired a sizable Permian Basin asset to boost the company’s footprint in the US midstream market this year. With 2026 opening a new era of energy projects, the Permian stands as the backbone of the US energy market.
Lane42 boosts its presence in the Permian through a substantial acquisition
Lane42 Investment Partners is a massive US-based firm focused on capturing the most compelling and potentially market-shaking opportunities for investment in energy. The company states that its mission is to provide opportunities for value creation for its partners and investors.
The company was seeded with an initial $2 billion investment capital to get it off the ground. In a recent move that could boost the company’s presence in the US midstream market, Lane42 has now acquired Aqua Terra Permian in partnership with Karis Midstream Partners to boost its presence in the Permian basin.

By joining forces with Karis Midstream, Lane42 can now develop a platform for long-term financial gains from substantial midstream operations in the Permian. The new platform will be led by the Karis team to develop new opportunities for fiscal investments for midstream developments in the United States.
“The Permian Basin is growing by leaps and bounds… All of you prove every day what hard work and ingenuity and American commitment to developing our resources can mean to the life of this country.” – Former Vice President Mike Pence
A new surge of oil and gas production has hit the United States
The President is opening up a world of new potential for oil and gas production in the United States, thanks to his executive orders aimed at increasing oil and gas production across the United States.
Trump has even been targeting the oil of other nations to meet the increased energy output targets he has set for the nation. Trump recently oversaw a military operation from the comfort of Mar-a-Lago that saw the US forces ousting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a daring early-morning operation.
Trump has stated, with no shame or concerns for international blowback, that he will control the significant oil assets in Venezuela and will choose which American energy companies have first crack at extracting the oil and gas resources in Venezuela.
Closer to home, Lane42 has boosted its presence in the Permian through the new acquisition of Aqua Terra Permian. With the astonishing growth in the Permian basin, the US is set to welcome the new year with a surge in oil and gas production.
“The acquisition of Aqua Terra Permian in partnership with Karis demonstrates Lane42’s ability to deliver tailored capital solutions to great businesses with strong management teams. The transaction strengthens Aqua Terra Permian’s balance sheet and provides substantial capital necessary to support the Company’s long-term growth and continued exceptional service to its customers.” – Lane42 Partner David Bernfeld
Russia has left a sizable gap in the global energy market
With the United States dramatically increasing oil and gas production this year, a boom of new potential for investments in energy infrastructure has emerged this year. Following a failed meeting between Putin and Trump last year that was meant to find an amicable solution to the ongoing war in Ukraine, the US and the EU have imposed new sanctions on Russia and its energy companies.
