Although it may seem like public companies such as Exxon and Chevron generate the lion share of our domestic oil production, they only produce roughly 30%. The other 70% is produced by smaller to mid-size companies. Many of these enterprises raise money via syndications from Private Equity, family offices, and High Net worth individuals. Depending on the size of the project, investment minimums can be as low as $25,000-$100,000 and have the potential to generate returns that far exceed those of other alternative asset classes. Michael Tanner, Co-founder and Managing Director at Sandstone Group, provides financial consulting and Asset Management for Oil and Gas and Energy clients.

Jean started the regional Asian private equity investment program for UK-based Baring Private Equity Partners Ltd in 1997 and later led the management buyout of this program in 2000 to establish BPEA as an independent Firm. He has since been responsible for the investment activity of BPEA until 2022, when the company joined forces with EQT and was renamed BPEA EQT.Prior to BPEA, Jean was a Director of Hong Kong-based AIG Global Investment Corporation (Asia) Ltd., the Asian private equity investment arm of AIG. Prior to that, Jean was the Executive Vice President of Finance of Shiu Wing Steel, a Hong Kong-based industrial concern, and prior to that a management consultant with Bain & Company based in Hong Kong, Sydney, and Boston.Jean holds a B.S.

Matias Guajardo Marchant who is a Portfolio Manager Farmland at Toesca Asset Management in Santiago.

For episode 654 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Jason Dehni of BlackOpal.BlackOpal is an on-chain asset management and payments platform bridging investment-grade yield with emerging market receivables. The problem they're solving is twofold: High-quality merchants in emerging markets pay above-market premiums for working capital, not because they're risky, but because legacy banking is expensive, slow, and opaque. Meanwhile, institutional capital in developed markets is starved for low-risk emerging market yield.BlackOpal specializes in credit card receivables, underwriting based on historical and real time transactions, and acquiring them via short-duration True Sale structures. Credit risk is further minimized through repayment by AA+ counterparties like Visa and Mastercard, resulting in near zero credit default. Currency risk is hedged via Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDFs). ⏳ Timestamps: (0:00) Introduction(0:51) Who is Jason Dehni?(3:03) What is Black Opal?(6:15) Gemstone vs. LiquidStone II(8:27) User protection & transparency(10:43) What makes Black Opal unique?(13:15) Where are Black Opal's products available?(15:04) Future opportunities in the Digital Asset market(19:35) Tokenization in the near future(23:50) Black Opal roadmap 2026(25:49) Events & conferences(27:08) Black Opal website & socials
