Background

About Jay Haber

Native to Houston for over 30 years, I have centered my career on valuations, restructurings, turnarounds and M&A in the oil & gas industry. Since 2015, I have lead the Oil and Gas Restructuring practice at Getzler Henrich & Associates, one of the nation's oldest and most respected names in middle market corporate turnaround and restructuring. In this role, I have completed multiple energy-related restructuring projects. In addition, to working with O&G operators as well as financial institutions in this space, I am an active active investor in the industry. Recently, I founded and was the President of Haber Resources Corp.(“HRC”), an independent oil and gas exploration and production company, where I was responsible for operations, the review of all drilling prospects for investment criteria suitable to the Company, and acted as liaison to industry groups participating with the company. During that period the Company drilled and operated more than 150 wells, primarily in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, including more than 25 new field discoveries. Most notably, HRC drilled the 1st discovery well in the deep Granite Wash area of the Deep Anadarko basin (Wheeler County, TX). This discovery is considered one the largest new discoveries onshore in the last 25 years in the US. Plains Exploration and Production (NYSE: PXP) exited the Anadarko basin selling all of its properties to LINN Energy (NASDAQ: LINE) for $600MM in 2011. The package sold by PXP included management team’s original 20 deep Granite Wash discovery sections. In 1994 I started a seismic company, Geokinetics Inc, and built it into the second largest onshore seismic company in the world. The company had $596 million revenues in 2012. Prior to my career in oil & gas, I was a Vice President/Investment Banking and Associate General Counsel of duPont Glore Forgan, Inc.(second largest investment firm in the world at the time) and a partner in a New York law firm with a specialty in investment banking. Before that I served as an attorney for the New York Stock Exchange.
