The Houston-based private equity firm has been marketing the fund since August 2008 and achieved a first close on $250 million in December of the same year, InfrastructureInvestor.com previously reported.

Quintana said total commitments to the fund now total almost $271 million across three partnerships affiliated with the fund, according to a filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The fund will be a continuation of the strategy of the firm's first fund, Quintana Energy Partners, which closed on $650 million in capital commitments in 2006 and is fully invested. Quintana Energy Partners targeted investments between $10 million and $125 million in upstream and midstream oil and gas, coal, coal services and opportunistic investments in other sectors.

Connecticut-based placement agent CP Eaton Partners is helping Quintana raise capital for the second fund, according to the filing.
