Decades of experience. One focused mission.
Kensington Energy Advisors was founded by former Managing Directors of RS Energy Group with decades of experience spanning upstream research, data, analytics, and software development. Throughout their careers, the team helped build and lead innovative products used by investors and industry professionals to evaluate energy assets and markets.
Kensington was created to apply that experience in a more focused and client-aligned way: combining rigorous analysis, direct access to experienced professionals, and technology designed around simplicity and practical workflows. Our objective is to deliver the depth and sophistication clients expect from a leading research organization, without the complexity, layers, or distance often associated with larger firms.
