Adam served as our Vice President of Engineering from April 2023 until November 2023, during which time he was responsible for conducting engineering evaluations across all areas of interest and making purchase recommendations to our executive team.
Prior to April 2023, Adam provided us with advisory services since our founding in 2019. Adam began his career with BP America as a completions engineer in 2005. During his tenure with BP America, Adam served in various drilling, completions, and production roles, both in the Gulf of Mexico and in the onshore U.S. business units. Following his experience at BP America, Adam transitioned to an equity analyst role within the Oil and Gas division at Macquarie Capital.
After gaining experience on the financial services side of the oil and gas industry, Adam transitioned back to the operating side in a lead Petroleum Engineering role with then-start-up Halcón Resources Corporation (now Battalion Oil Corporation (NYSE: BATL) (“Halcón”). While at Halcón, Adam supported various exploration and development programs in the broader Gulf Coast region and the Bakken shale asset in North Dakota. Following his tenure at Halcón, Adam pursued entrepreneurial opportunities on the mineral acquisitions side of the oil and gas industry that ultimately led him to us.
Immediately prior to providing us advisory services, Adam was the Chief Executive Officer of The Petram Group, LLC (f/k/a Wolfhawk Energy Holdings, LLC d/b/a “Ferrari Energy”) (“The Petram Group”) from December 2016 until March 2019.
Prior to his employment at The Petram Group, Mr. Ferrari founded and operated Ferrari Energy, LLC, which was active in acquiring and disposing of mineral interests from 2014 to 2017.

Currently, Ferrari Energy, LLC has no employees, holds only one remaining mineral property, and is otherwise inactive.
Adam graduated magna cum laude from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemical Engineering. Adam Ferrari is the spouse of Brynn Ferrari, our Chief Marketing Officer, and the son of Charlene and Daniel Ferrari, who control LJC.
