Esperanza Capital Partners

Esperanza Capital Partners is a private investment firm founded in 2021 by industry professionals David M. Dunwoody, Jr. and William H. Goodwin, alongside investment firm Cockrell Interests, LLC. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, the firm focuses on acquiring high-quality energy and infrastructure assets in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, aiming to deliver long-term quarterly distributions from low-risk, high-margin reserves and infrastructure.

The firm's strategy involves providing creative solutions to current basin incumbents seeking transition, strategic partnerships, or flexible capital. Leveraging long-duration capital partners and a unique investment structure, Esperanza Capital Partners is positioned to pursue diverse opportunities in the offshore energy sector, capitalizing on historical under-investment in the Gulf of Mexico.

With a track record of safely building and operating a portfolio of offshore assets, the firm is committed to transitioning assets from larger operators to a focused, seller-aligned investment platform with a clean structure and substantial scalability. This approach reflects their dedication to sustainable and profitable investments in the energy sector.
