DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leeward Renewable Energy, LLC (“Leeward”), a growth-oriented renewable energy company and portfolio company of OMERS Infrastructure, announced it has closed the previously announced acquisition of a utility-scale solar project platform of approximately 10-gigawatts (GW)AC from First Solar, Inc.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE:PXD) ("Pioneer" or "the Company") today announced that it has entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire the leasehold interests and related assets of DoublePoint Energy (DoublePoint) in a transaction valued at approximately $6.4 billion as of April 1, 2021, comprised of approximately 27.2 million shares of Pioneer common stock, $1 billion of cash and the assumption of approximately $0.9 billion of debt and liabilities.


Scott D. Sheffield, Pioneer’s CEO stated, “DoublePoint has amassed an impressive, high quality footprint in the Midland Basin, comprised of tier one acreage adjacent to Pioneer’s leading position. We are pleased with their decision to become long-term partners with Pioneer in a transaction that will complement our unmatched position in the core of the Permian Basin. Pioneer will incorporate these assets into our investment model, migrating the assets from significant production growth to a free cash flow model, moderating growth for the U.S. shale industry and generating significant value for our shareholders.”

Transaction Enhances Investment Framework

  • Accretive to Key Financial Metrics – Pioneer expects the transaction to be accretive on key financial metrics including cash flow and free cash flow per share, earnings per share and corporate returns during 2021 and beyond.
  • Increases Variable Dividend Outlook – Consistent with Pioneer’s priority of returning capital to shareholders, the accretive nature of this transaction to free cash flow leads to an increase in the expected per share variable dividend beginning in 2022 and beyond.
  • Unmatched Permian Scale – This transaction represents a contiguous position of approximately 97,000 high quality net acres directly offsetting and overlapping Pioneer’s existing footprint. The acquired acreage is primarily undrilled and augments Pioneer’s premium asset base, increasing the Company’s acreage position to greater than 1 million net acres with no exposure to federal lands. The Company expects production from the acquired assets to reach approximately 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day by late in the second quarter.
  • Significant Synergies – The acquisition is expected to result in annual cost savings of approximately $175 million through operational efficiencies and reductions in general and administrative (G&A) and interest expenses. The expected present value of these cost savings totals approximately $1 billion over a 10-year period.
  • Top-Tier Balance Sheet Maintained – Pioneer’s pro forma leverage metrics will remain relatively unchanged, among the lowest in the industry, preserving the Company’s financial and operational flexibility and allowing for significant return of capital to shareholders.

Geoffrey Strong, Senior Partner and Co-Head of Infrastructure and Natural Resources at Apollo, commented, “The combination of Pioneer and DoublePoint is compelling from both a financial and operational standpoint and a natural fit for DoublePoint. This acquisition continues the trend of consolidation in the prolific Permian Basin, combining two complementary footprints in a transaction with both top- and bottom-line synergies.” Dheeraj Verma, President of Quantum Energy Partners added, “we are firm believers in Pioneer’s strategy of free cash flow generation, which enables a competitive base and strong variable dividend.”

Cody Campbell and John Sellers, Co-CEO’s of DoublePoint Energy said, “We are proud and appreciative of the work that our team has done to build a company and an asset base that is unparalleled in quality and truly cannot be replicated. We are honored to have the opportunity to combine our business with Pioneer, who we have long admired and regard as the premiere operator in the Midland Basin. The fit and the synergies are clear, and we look forward to working with Pioneer to continue creating value.”

Transaction Details

Pioneer will issue approximately 27.2 million shares of common stock in the transaction with an additional $1 billion of cash. After closing, existing Pioneer shareholders will own approximately 89% of the combined company and existing DoublePoint owners will own approximately 11% of the combined company. Pioneer plans to finance the cash portion of the purchase price through a combination of cash on-hand and existing borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility.

The transaction has been unanimously approved Pioneer’s Board of Directors and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

The transaction is structured as the acquisition by a Pioneer subsidiary of 100% of the limited liability company interests of DoublePoint’s wholly owned subsidiary, Double Eagle III Midco 1 LLC.

The impact of the Electrification of Africa could be bigger than the Industrial Revolution

MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ANSER--Jonathan Kalombo Tshimpaka, the Founder & CEO of Insolation Solaire Inc., a Canadian solar energy startup, signed a Public Private Partnership [PPP] with the Democratic Republic of Congo to deploy its novel solar optical module technology called “Oriens Duo” to test its innovative technology in rural areas of the DRC.


ANSER's, the government’s agency assigned to promote the electrification of Congo’s rural sectors, goal is to supply electricity to approximately 15 million inhabitants living in rural areas by 2024.

ANSER is the state entity that signed the Protocol of Agreement with Insolation Solaire Inc. This partnership will commence with a Pilot Project in an area named Kabeya Kamuanga, in the province of Kasaï in May 2021.

Oriens Duo was invented by the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of Insolation Solaire Inc., Gilles Leduc. It uses 40% efficient Quantum Dot Triple Junction solar cells coupled with a Winston Cone to concentrate solar radiations towards the substrate. Furthermore, Oriens Duo includes a mechanism of heat transfer to produce thermal energy as a byproduct for the end user, which makes it a hybrid system. The technology enables air conditioner as well, which will be immensely appreciated in Congo where temperatures are very hot and humid.

Insolation Solaire Inc. has captured the essence of evolution and is setting a new standard in the solar industry. As the African market is growing at a staggering rate, the development of novel technologies using a methodology resembling that of Oriens Duo is practically non-existent. Consequently, it is an unprecedented opportunity for Insolation Solaire Inc. to capitalize and forge an enduring empire fueled by the sun.

The political climate of the Democratic Republic of Congo has been stabilizing since the peaceful and mindful strategist, President Felix Antoine Tshilombo Tshisekedi, has been in power and recently been elevated to the status of President of the African Union.

“I believe that President Tshisekedi can unite Africa. Congo being the heart and the trigger of Africa, our work could send shockwaves of a modernization across the continent. Hence, I am wholeheartedly welcoming North American investors to help lay the foundation of this magnificent project,” said the 32 years old CEO, Jonathan Kalombo Tshimpaka.

An all-in-one package provides tools, training, and guidance to successfully lead an ISA/IEC 62443-3-2 compliant risk assessment per the Cyber PHA methodology for industrial asset owners.

GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#CyberPHA--aeCyberSolutions, the Industrial Cybersecurity division of aeSolutions, announces the aeCyberPHA Facilitation Suite for industrial asset owners looking to self-perform, maintain, and manage cyber PHA (process hazards analysis) cyber-safety risk assessments. The suite includes an all-in-one package of the tools, training, and guidance needed to successfully lead an ISA/IEC 62443-3-2 compliant risk assessment per the proven cyber PHA methodology.


“Choosing the right method to assess cybersecurity risk can be a challenge, and effectively conducting studies can be more challenging still. As a result, many operational technology (OT) professionals lack the necessary experience and tools to facilitate and maintain cyber PHAs,” said John Cusimano, Vice President of aeCyberSolutions. “With the aeCyberPHA Facilitation Suite, the entire organization will quickly realize the benefits of ownership of the cyber PHA process and will be able to effectively make the connection between process safety and cybersecurity risk.”

While cyber PHA is a proven method in the industrial industry, it can still lead to sub-par results if the risk assessment team lacks the tools and training needed to conduct the study effectively and efficiently. Risk assessment work processes and templates, while seemingly simple, are notoriously challenging to develop and manage.

What has become the de facto methodology for ICS risk assessment, Cyber PHA links realistic threat scenarios with known vulnerabilities and existing countermeasures and couples them with credible consequences from the PHA to determine cyber risk. For facilities that do not have a formal PHA, credible worst-case scenarios are incorporated into the template. The toolset codifies aeCyberSolutions’ internal knowledge and expertise that have been refined in executing hundreds of successful cyber PHA studies, including risk assessment templates, company-specific template customization, integrated libraries, comprehensive training, and expert support guides.

“Until now, asset owners have had to hire consultants or develop internal tools to conduct Cyber PHAs,” Cusimano added. “Our new facilitation suite is truly the first of its kind in the industry and leverages our team’s tremendous experience and best practices in leading hundreds of studies and dozens of custom risk assessments to build an ideal toolset and training for Cyber PHA teams. Users of the facilitation suite will find that the toolset is easily adopted across different industry sectors and product lines, while leveraging the integrated library of common recommendations and industry best practices.”

Acquiring Operated Assets from Tracker Resource Development III and Related Well-Bore Interests from Sequel Energy Group

THE WOODLANDS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Earthstone Energy, Inc. (NYSE: ESTE) (“Earthstone” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into definitive agreements to acquire privately held operated assets located in the Midland Basin (the “Tracker Acquisition”) from Tracker Resource Development III, LLC and an affiliate (“Tracker”) and from affiliates of Sequel Energy Group LLC (“Sequel”), which hold well-bore interests in certain of the producing wells operated by Tracker. Tracker is backed by 1901 Partners Management LP and EnCap Investments L.P. (“EnCap”), with each holding a 49% ownership interest and Tracker management holding the remainder. The aggregate purchase price of the Tracker Acquisition is approximately $126.5 million consisting of $81.6 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments, and 6.2 million shares of Earthstone’s Class A common stock valued at $44.9 million based on a closing share price of $7.24 on March 30, 2021. The effective date of the Tracker Acquisition will be March 1, 2021, with closing anticipated early in the third quarter of 2021.


Asset highlights:

  • Current net production of ~7,800 (1) Boepd (21% oil, 59% liquids) from 71 wells (30 horizontal / 41 vertical)
  • $153 million PDP PV-10 (2) as of 3/1/21 with reserves of approximately 19.8 MMBoe (3)
  • Low-cost, stable producing assets in complementary location to Earthstone operated assets
  • Approximately 20,300 net acres (100% HBP, 100% operated) in Irion County
    • No drilling commitments required on the acreage
    • Inventory of 49 Earthstone-identified horizontal Wolfcamp locations at four wells per section exceeding 25% IRR threshold on a $50/barrel WTI price deck and using Earthstone’s current estimate of capital costs
    • Further upside to drilling economics based on reduction of drilling and completion costs and reserve impact with up-spaced locations versus historical well spacing

Impact on Earthstone:

  • Purchase price implies PV-16 discount rate on PDP (4)
  • Significant production and cash flow contribution to existing Earthstone asset base
  • Complements Earthstone’s focus on low-cost, high-margin operations with expected impact of lowering per unit of production lease operating expense and G&A expense
  • Cash portion of consideration to be funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”)
  • Minimal impact on pro forma year-end 2021 leverage with ESTE targeting sub-1.25x Debt/Adjusted EBITDAX (5)
  • Existing Earthstone shareholders retain 93% of common equity
  • Expected to be accretive on all key financial metrics
  • Expected second half of 2021 production increase of ~5,800-6,000 Boepd (~19% oil, ~59% liquids) prior to adjustments for date of closing

Management Comments

Mr. Robert J. Anderson, President and CEO of Earthstone, commented, “This acquisition, on the heels of closing the IRM acquisition in early January, is a complementary next step in what we view as continued progress of our consolidation strategy. We paid an attractive price for this producing asset, and while the inventory may not fit into our capital plans this year, the 49 drilling locations represent low-risk and repeatable upside value not included in our purchase price valuation. These low-cost assets will continue our efforts to reduce overall per unit cash costs and deliver high operating margins. We intend to continue seeking other value-enhancing transactions that increase our operational and corporate cost efficiencies while maintaining financial discipline, ultimately benefitting our shareholders via stock price appreciation.”

Transaction Consideration and Sources

The total consideration for the Tracker Acquisition consists of $81.6 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments, and approximately 6.2 million shares of Earthstone’s Class A common stock, which represents 7.4% of total Class A and Class B common stock on a pro forma basis. Earthstone intends to fund the cash portion of the consideration and fees and expenses with cash on hand and new borrowings under its Credit Facility. Earthstone expects to complete a redetermination of the borrowing base under its Credit Facility in the near term that will serve as the regularly scheduled redetermination and will also incorporate the impact of the Tracker Acquisition conditional upon closing of the acquisition.

The total consideration of $126.5 million is allocated ~50% to Tracker and ~50% to Sequel. EnCap, a current beneficial owner of ~49.4% of Earthstone’s total Class A and Class B common stock, will indirectly receive an additional 2.3 million shares of Class A common stock through its minority ownership of Tracker. Adjusted for the equity consideration to the respective parties, EnCap’s beneficial ownership of Earthstone’s total Class A and Class B common stock will be reduced to 48.5%.

Approvals

The Audit Committee of the board of directors of Earthstone approved and recommended the Tracker Acquisition to the board of directors of Earthstone, which has approved the Tracker Acquisition. The Tracker Acquisition is further subject to the approval of Earthstone stockholders, including a majority of the shares held by stockholders other than EnCap and executive management. Warburg Pincus LLC has provided a support agreement pledging to vote its ~13.2 million shares of Class A common stock in favor of the Tracker Acquisition. The Tracker Acquisition has been approved by the board of managers of Tracker and by the board of managers of Sequel.

Other Details

Complete details of the terms of the Tracker Acquisition are set out in separate purchase and sale agreements with Tracker and Sequel. These agreements will be filed by Earthstone with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and will be available for viewing under its profile at www.sec.gov.

Please refer to Earthstone’s updated investor presentation found on its website for additional information on the Tracker Acquisition.

The Notes, which priced at par, will mature in 2026 and will pay an annual interest rate of 7.625%. The proceeds of the Notes were used to repay all borrowings under the revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), to redeem all outstanding preferred equity and for general corporate purposes. Solaris Water also amended its Revolver to reflect a maturity date of April 1, 2025. The transaction simplifies the company’s capital structure, furthers its sustainability efforts, and adds liquidity and flexibility to support additional growth opportunities.


The Notes adhere to Solaris Water’s sustainability-linked bond framework, which is consistent with the voluntary Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles issued by the International Capital Market Association and provide for a long-term key performance indicator relating to Solaris Water’s large-scale produced water recycling. “We have been a pioneer in developing recycling infrastructure in the Permian Basin, and this sustainability-linked feature of the Notes recognizes Solaris Water’s long-term leadership in full-cycle produced water management," said Solaris Water President and Chief Operating Officer Amanda Brock. "Solaris Water continues to demonstrate our commitment to responsibly develop and operate our infrastructure to advance sustainability, while helping our customers achieve their environmental and social objectives.”

“We are excited to announce the closing of these transactions, which are transformative for Solaris Water on multiple levels and recognize our sustainability efforts to date, positioning us to deliver significant value to our customers, investors, shareholders and other stakeholders,” added Solaris Water Chief Executive Officer Bill Zartler. “We sincerely appreciate the support and trust of our lenders, customers and employees for the confidence they continue to show in Solaris Water. We believe our integrated produced water handling and recycling assets, blue-chip customer base and differentiated approach to full-cycle produced water management will continue to distinguish Solaris Water as oil and gas development in the Permian Basin progresses."

Nonprofit solar financier expects to double its impact in 2021 through emerging philanthropic investment vehicle

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$Solar #impactinvesting--RE-volv, a nonprofit organization and leading financier of solar for community-serving nonprofits, announces the launch of a $10M recoverable grant investment opportunity to help unlock the market for solar in communities that bear the brunt of pollution and climate change. RE-volv has already received its first three recoverable grants totalling $275,000 through leading national donor advised funds facilitated by CapShift, an impact investing firm that helps facilitate recoverable grants.


RE-volv expects this fund, representing a new model for financing for solar projects, to more than double its year-over-year impact, allowing it to finance 3MW of solar for nonprofits that provide critical services in communities facing outsized impact from the economic downturn.

“Lack of access to up-front capital has made it especially difficult for nonprofits serving some of the most environmentally and economically impacted communities to reap the benefits of solar,” said Andreas Karelas, RE-volv founder and executive director. “Unlocking new sources of capital to ensure equitable solar access for all will transform the energy landscape, and leave communities more resilient and more sustainable.”

Recoverable grants are a growing philanthropic trend in which donors recoup their funds plus a small return when a certain impact milestone is met. RE-volv will use the capital to finance solar projects for nonprofits, who then pay RE-volv for the power at an average of 15% less than their local utility rates. RE-volv is able to repay the grant and make a small return to the donating organization so they can give to future charitable projects.

This new model builds on RE-volv’s original revolving fund, which used crowdfunding to generate project capital. A $10 Million commitment from Trisolaris, LLC in 2019 has already allowed RE-volv to dramatically increase both the size and number of installations. Through this commitment, RE-volv will bring 17 new projects totalling 2.9MW of power online by the end of 2021, compared with just 400kW in 28 projects in the previous nine years.

The new recoverable grant fund will help RE-volv continue to scale its solar finance program and meet a growing demand for clean energy from the nonprofit sector. RE-volv is partnering with CapShift to support the recoverable grant initiative.

Former IBM’s Weather Business Solutions Global Head of Sales Durjoy Mazumdar Joins Spire as Weather Solutions Sales Executive

SAN FRANCISCO & RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spire Global, Inc. (“Spire” or the “Company”) a leading global provider of space-based data and analytics that recently announced a planned business combination with NavSight Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NSH), announced today that Durjoy Mazumdar, the former Global Head of Enterprise Sales at The Weather Company, an IBM Business, has joined Spire as Sales Executive of Weather Solutions. Mr. Mazumdar will report to John Lusk, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Spire’s Global Data Services division.

“The addition of an industry leader like Durjoy is an important step in executing on our growth strategy across key verticals and geographies. We believe his experience and expertise will help us accelerate our sales and marketing efforts and drive continued product development across our weather segment, further strengthening our competitive advantage,” commented Peter Platzer, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Spire.

Spire produces precise atmospheric radio occultation measurements, which can drive valuable weather prediction services. Collecting satellite AIS, satellite ADS-B, and RO weather data, Spire’s space-based data can be combined and easily integrated into customers’ existing models and data systems to achieve a wide swath of weather-impacted business objectives.

Spire’s weather program is currently focused on developing its presence in five key markets:

  • Renewable Energy, enabling customers to provide accurate forecasts offshore where a wind farm might be, as well as offering applications for potential use by solar companies;
  • Aviation, enabling airlines and aircraft to minimize contrails pollution and delivering efficient flight paths at high altitude;
  • Maritime, helping vessel operators reduce fuel usage, assisting in better route planning and helping to lower the risk of injuries and damages due to inclement weather;
  • Wildfires, as Spire’s global coverage is strategically positioned to identify fires which typically start in remote, otherwise under-observed areas; and
  • Agriculture, providing data that can inform farmers of when or how to irrigate, when to apply pesticides, and ultimately helping to maximize the yield of a crop.

“Weather impacts every decision a consumer makes each day, including which car a suburban resident might drive, when they turn on their air conditioner, what ads they see on television, and what day of the year they start drinking iced coffee, and these patterns play out on a larger scale and with greater import for our target markets of renewables, aviation, maritime, wildfires and agriculture,” Mr. Mazumdar commented. “There are many potential use cases for our space-based weather data services. Leading Spire’s weather efforts, I am working to advance our offering of valuable and business-oriented weather prediction solutions to our core markets, ensure we are building the specific products that will best serve these markets, and identify new regions and opportunities for expansion and future growth.”

“Our Global Data Services business has the opportunity to penetrate what we believe is an approximately $91 billion opportunity by 2025E across weather, aviation, orbital services, and maritime,” said Mr. Lusk. “Durjoy is a valuable and welcome addition to the Spire team as we build out our weather segment to identify new use cases and deliver traction with customers.”

Mr. Mazumdar brings a wealth of experience to Spire. Mr. Mazumdar was most recently the Global Head of Enterprise Sales at The Weather Company, an IBM Business. Mr. Mazumdar was previously VP of Sales, Americas at Enterprise DB; North American Vice President for Storage at Oracle; and served as North American Sales Manager at Sun Microsystems. Mr. Mazumdar graduated with a B.A. in environmental studies, computer science, and geology at Macalester College.

Spire expects to close its previously announced business combination with NavSight Holdings, Inc. in the summer of 2021.
