Venari Resources LLC was a privately held offshore exploration and production company founded in 2012 by Brian Reinsborough. It was focused on the oil-prone subsalt region in the Gulf of Mexico’s deep waters. In May 2012, global private equity investment firms Warburg Pincus,[1] Kelso & Company, Temasek Holdings and The Jordan Company provided an initial $1.125 billion capital commitment to pursue its exploration program and development projects in the Gulf of Mexico.

In December 2019, Talos executed a purchase and sale agreement and closed on the acquisition of all primary term acreage and prospects from Venari Resources.[3] The company website indicated that the company would cease operations in early 2020.
