Macoma Capital Makes Strategic Investment in North America's Oil-Rich Bakken Formation

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Macoma Capital Group, a New York-based investment firm, today announced it has made its largest investment in a leading energy company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties in the Williston Basin, one of the premier shale plays in the Bakken.  The energy company structures strategic alliances and exploration agreements with leading operators and mineral owners to increase production in the basin.

"We are excited about this unique investment opportunity at the heart of the Bakken shale play," said Andrew Cohan, managing partner at Macoma Capital Group.  "Our new energy partner has an established track record of successfully managing Bakken assets, and its leadership team has the necessary industry acumen and insights to capture opportunities across the basin.
