HOUSTON: September 16, 2020 — Fortuna Resources III, LLC (“Fortuna”) announced the expansion of its partnership with additional equity commitments from North Hudson Resource Partners LP, and its affiliates (“North Hudson”). Fortuna was formed and funded in October 2019 and has acquired interests or participated in the drilling of approximately 100 horizontal wells to date with top-tier Delaware Basin operators.
Fortuna is a Houston-based oil and gas company focused on acquiring and participating in non-operated working interests with top-tier operators in the Permian Basin.
