What RimRock Oil & Gas does

RimRock Oil & Gas, LP is a privately-held, independent oil and gas company focused on the acquisition and development of North American oil and gas assets. The firm was founded in 2016 and operates from Greenwood Village, Colorado, with a lean headcount of 11–50 employees. Its capital base is anchored by a $500 million funding round led by Warburg Pincus in February 2016 (Series 4), providing the equity firepower for asset acquisition and development activity. Per news reporting, Williams Companies acquired RimRock in 2025 as part of Williams' strategic expansion of midstream assets, with RimRock referenced as having completed 12 projects in that year.

The company is co-led by Glenn Schmidt (Co-Founding Partner, SVP & Chief Development Officer) and Andre Baillargeon (Co-Founding Member, SVP & Chief Financial Officer). It is incorporated in the United States (exact jurisdiction not publicly disclosed) and operates under the brand "Rim Rock Oil."

The firm's public-facing website (rimrockoil.com) supplements its core E&P positioning with a thought-leadership and advisory narrative around industrial resource management frameworks, operational intelligence, lifecycle awareness, risk-informed planning, and operational resilience. This content targets industrial and asset-intensive organizations and is delivered as educational blog content rather than as a packaged software or consulting product. The company does not publish pricing; engagement is initiated through inquiry forms on the website covering general inquiries, operational strategy questions, resource management discussions, partnership/collaboration, and media requests. No proprietary software, API, SDK, or AI/ML product has been disclosed, and there is no patent or trademark portfolio on record.
