HOUSTON, TX – October 3, 2012 – Rock Hill Capital Group (“Rock Hill”), a Houston-based private equity firm, today announced that it has closed on a majority recapitalization of Big Lake Services (“Big Lake” or the “Company”), a West-Texas oilfield services provider operating throughout the Permian Basin.
