Key Strengths
Right place, right time

A mixed-asset energy company
Offers an advantageous midstream solution to own and potential third-party sources of upstream produced raw gas fields with midstream solutions.
Improved balance sheet, robust cash reserves
Following restructuring, Nostrum has a healthy balance sheet with significant cash reserves, lower annual coupon payments, which allow us to focus on future growth.
