Built on Strong Partnerships.
Bringing together capital, operating experience, and local knowledge to create lasting value in oil and gas.
The Right People. The Right Capabilities.
Strong partnerships have always been central to how Kroh Exploration grows.
We work with experienced operators and industry partners who know their markets, understand their assets, and have the resources to get work done. Our role is to help connect that experience with capital, acquisition opportunities, and a disciplined approach to growth.
Our partnership with Kenosis Operating Company is a clear example of that model.
Kenosis Operating Company
Kenosis was formed by Mike and Beau Blake, Matt Moncla, Brett Kroh, and Tony Gossett to pursue an opportunity in South Louisiana: established oil and gas fields with existing infrastructure and significant remaining potential.
The partnership combines generations of Gulf Coast operating experience, Louisiana industry relationships, field-level resources, and Kroh's capital formation and acquisition capabilities.
In September 2025, Kenosis acquired the former Extex inland-water assets, establishing an operating position across approximately 16,000 acres and 418 shut-in wells. The team began evaluating and reactivating assets through a systematic field program.
Louisiana Roots. Shared Commitment.
Kenosis brings together three organizations with complementary strengths. Two of those relationships are especially important to its Louisiana operating foundation.
Operating Strength on the Gulf Coast
Mike and Beau Blake bring generations of Gulf Coast experience and a network of affiliated oilfield, marine, fabrication, and environmental service companies. That network gives Kenosis access to the equipment, crews, facilities, and practical expertise required for complex field operations.
Deep Knowledge of South Louisiana
Matt Moncla and the Moncla organization contribute longstanding Louisiana relationships, drilling and workover experience, and a detailed understanding of the region. Moncla helped connect Kroh with the former Extex asset opportunity that became Kenosis' first major acquisition.
Capital and Execution, Working Together.
Kroh Exploration contributes acquisition and transaction experience, capital formation, and a track record of developing oil and gas opportunities.
Working alongside the Blake and Moncla organizations, Kroh helped advance the former Extex acquisition and establish the joint-venture structure behind Kenosis. The result is a partnership built around complementary capabilities rather than overlapping roles.
