Power and Energy Investment Portfolio
Active Portfolio Companies
	DeepFlex: DeepFlex manufactures non-metal flexible pipe with superior weight, strength, corrosion, fatigue, and flexibility attributes for deep water projects in the oil and gas industry.
®	DynaPump, Inc.: DynaPump, Inc. manufactures innovative proprietary rod pumping systems used in the oil and gas industry. DynaPump's goal is to improve their customer's cash flow by increasing revenues by enhancing production, increasing energy efficiency, increasing operational flexibility to changing well conditions, and decreasing overall system expenses.
	Five Star Technologies: Five Star Technologies provides commercialization of Controlled Flow Cavitation™ process technology targeting industrial catalysis, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals.
	Konarka Technologies: Konarka is dedicated to the development and commercialization of solutions for portable and distributed power needs based on photovoltaic products that are: versatile (across the broadest spectrum of light), flexible (adaptable to many form-factors), and low cost (versus traditional photovoltaics). Their products are centered around the dye-sensitized solar cell and an all-organic platform.
	MicroSeismic, Inc.: MicroSeismic, Inc. provides passive seismic acquisition and processing services. By recording the natural seismic energy from micro-earthquakes or production induced micro-seismicity, MicroSeismic is able to create 3-D models of the subsurface structure and dynamic reservoir processes. These passive seismic surveys can be conducted in areas where traditional seismic cannot, without entering a wellbore, and at lower cost. MicroSeismic uses its proprietary software to process and analyze the data.
	Moblize: Moblize delivers last mile monitoring and control solutions using open standards based technologies for the Oil and Gas industry.
	OpenSpirit: OpenSpirit provides an off-the-shelf, standards based middleware product that allows interoperability between multiple vendors' applications and data. There are now over 1000 oil company end users in over 45 countries taking advantage of the framework to speed up critical workflows and enhance analysis in the geotechnical space, with more adopting the solution every day.
	Southwest Windpower: Southwest Windpower is the global market leader in small wind turbines and continues to be the fastest growing manufacturer in its industry. Their next generation energy appliance the Skystream 3.7™ is a compact utility connected wind generator designed specifically for residential homes and small businesses.
	Stingray Geophysical: Stingray Geophysical is developing an advanced all fiber-optic sensor array system that will be deployed permanently on the seabed. The sensors are completely passive, allowing the array to consist only of optical fibers. As no electrical power is required, so the array, cables and infrastructure are much smaller than conventional electrically-powered systems. The approach used also allows a large number of sensors to be combined on one fiber pair. The resulting systems are inherently reliable, are smaller and therefore easier to handle and deploy and can be manufactured and installed for significantly lower costs than is possible with conventional electrical systems.
	Sub-One Technology: Sub-One Technology has developed a revolutionary new nanotechnology-and a family of systems- for depositing super-hard, smooth, pure films on the internal surfaces of a broad spectrum of products. These products can range from large-diameter industrial piping to small, complex metal and plastic components.
	Tubel Technologies Inc.: Tubel Technologies Inc. is a progressive company specializing in the development and deployment of new technologies for oilfield applications. The company focuses in the development of systems to enhance production in areas such as Intelligent Completions, Well Automation and Optimization, Formation Evaluation and Frac Services Improvements. Tubel Tech product lines include real time wireless gauges for permanent downhole applications, high reliability fiber optics pressure and temperature sensor for reservoir and production monitoring, real time wireless service tools and plunger lift optimization systems.
