SEF Energy is a holding company with a portfolio of U.S.-based oilfield manufacturing and technology-driven assets.

Argonaut sought to build a platform to provide technologically superior products for use in the oil & gas industry.

Based in Oklahoma City, OK, SEF Energy is a portfolio of energy manufacturing businesses that, collectively, engineer and manufacture wellhead, frac, and perforating technologies for every major onshore oil & gas basin in the United States.

Argonaut’s original investment under SEF Energy was Downing Wellhead, a family-owned wellhead equipment provider based in Oklahoma.

Since investing in Downing Wellhead in 2013, Argonaut has led SEF Energy through the complex process of acquiring and integrating a series of platform and add-on investments to grow the Company. Argonaut leveraged its industry network to build an executive management team to run SEF Energy in collaboration with operating company level leadership. Additional acquisitions have transformed SEF Energy into a pioneering energy technology company that drives efficiencies and safety on the wellsite for its customers. SEF Energy’s evolution illustrates Argonaut’s ability to equip management teams with the tools and resources needed to develop and grow their businesses into next-generation industry leaders.
