Graeme Sword, BWE Founding Partner, said, "For a while BWE has believed there is an opportunity to build a leading MENA exploration and production company of significant scale. We are excited to partner with a best-in-class management team at Apex, as well as strong existing shareholders, Warburg Pincus and IFC, who have a long track record of building successful E&P companies in emerging markets."
