https://www.technavio.com/report/underwater-exploration-robots-market-industry-analysis

The market is driven by the increasing offshore E&P programs. In addition, the emergence of swarm intelligence is anticipated to boost the growth of the Underwater Exploration Robots Market.

The increasing need to explore petroleum-based energy sources by the oil and gas industry has propelled the demand for technologies suitable for hostile offshore and subsea environments. The demand for underwater exploration robots for such environments is high, as they are hard to reach and require advanced hardware and software to operate. Moreover, E&P activities involve various serious challenges related to health, safety, and environment (HSE), which further boosts the demand for underwater exploration robots. The past few years have seen an overhaul in the upstream business of companies in the industry. As the industry recovers, more stakeholders in the oil and gas industry will invest in search, recovery, and production of crude oil and natural gas through the drilling of exploratory wells. Thus, the increasing offshore E&P programs will drive the growth of the market.

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#GasDetectionEquipmentMarket--The new Gas Detection Equipment Market Research from Technavio indicates Neutral and Inferior in the short term as the business impact of COVID-19 spreads.



"One of the primary growth drivers for this market is the growing production volume of shale gas,” says a senior analyst for Industrials at Technavio. Owing to the continuous advances in the extraction technologies, the production of shale gas has increased considerably in the US. Similarly, emerging economies, including China, have been contributing to the overall shale gas production significantly in recent years. Also, China has started one of the most significant shale gas projects in the country, named Fuling shale gas project. The rising shale gas production from economies, including the US, Russia, Qatar, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Norway, and others, has further fueled the adoption of gas detection products and solutions. The gas detection equipment is allowing all the stakeholders of several end-user industries to minimize casualties while increasing the safety measures. Consequently, the rapid adoption of shale gas will drive the gas detection equipment market. As the markets recover Technavio expects the gas detection equipment market size to grow by USD 1.06 billion during the period 2020-2024.

CANONSBURG, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ETRN--Equitrans Midstream Corporation (NYSE: ETRN) management and board of directors, today, released a statement regarding a contract dispute and the related attempt by EQT Corporation (EQT) and its financial advisor to market ETRN’s Hammerhead pipeline.


The Hammerhead gathering header pipeline, with a total capacity of 1.6 Bcf per day, was completed and injected with initial line-pack provided by EQT in July 2020 and was placed in-service effective August 1, 2020. EQT has a 1.2 Bcf per day firm capacity commitment on the Hammerhead pipeline, which provides access to the Texas Eastern Transmission and Dominion Transmission pipelines, as well as an interconnect to the Mountain Valley Pipeline.

“It has recently come to our attention that EQT has a mistaken belief that the Hammerhead pipeline is not in-service under the terms of its agreement; and, on that basis, that EQT believes it may terminate the gathering agreement and take title to the Hammerhead pipeline in exchange for a reimbursement payment. EQT, acting through its financial advisor, has attempted to market ETRN’s Hammerhead pipeline, which action constitutes unlawful conduct.

ETRN has demanded that EQT and its advisor immediately cease marketing ETRN’s pipeline. To ETRN’s knowledge they have not done so. We firmly believe, and have communicated to EQT, that EQT lacks any valid basis for its actions and that any attempt by EQT to terminate the Hammerhead gathering agreement and to acquire (or potentially sell) the Hammerhead pipeline is contrary to law. ETRN will continue to enforce its rights under the Hammerhead gathering agreement in full.

ETRN gathers the overwhelming majority of EQT’s production. Given the scope of our business relationship, ETRN and EQT periodically have disputes and disagreements and most often amicably resolve them. While we disagree with EQT’s actions, ETRN remains committed to pursuing a resolution to this dispute. ETRN’s duty, first and foremost, is to its shareholders, and ETRN will firmly pursue all available legal avenues or remedies to protect its investment in the Hammerhead pipeline.”

Discoverer of the Titanic, Dr. Bob Ballard & International Opera Producer Peter Sellars among those appearing at event at the USS Iowa in San Pedro. Evening to include the U.S. premiere of Idomeneo. The night will also end with a unique art installation projected against the Iowa, fusing together scientific data and the artistic minds of Mason Rothschild, Annie Sperling and Refik Anadol.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles -- a unique public-private ocean institute that convenes and nurtures the best and brightest pioneers and organizations in science, business and education -- is hosting their first-ever The Blue Hour, a spectacular drive-in experience focusing on LA as the global capital of the Blue Economy, and the importance of educating young people on ocean exploration and conservation. The Blue Hour will honor those who have paved the way for AltaSea and those who will continue to forge new paths. The event – with a maximum attendance of 240 cars -- will take place on October 10, 2020 from 6:00-8:30 PM PDT in the parking lot next to the USS Iowa, a retired battleship moored on the San Pedro waterfront.


The drive-in experience is brought to you by Energy Independence Now (EIN), and will be powered by Toyota’s cutting-edge hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle technology. Considered to be the crucial next step in a zero-emissions future, hydrogen fuel cells leave no emissions behind. Tickets to The Blue Hour will go on sale on September 10. More information can be found at https://altasea-project-blue.org/project-blue-presents-2/.

“2020 is unprecedented in every way, but nothing will not stop us from recognizing and celebrating the people who are playing an important role in our ocean community – from some of the most accomplished ocean explorers to the next generation of ocean innovators,” said AltaSea CEO Tim McOsker. “AltaSea is fully committed to growing the Blue Economy and leading the charge in ocean preservation. The Blue Hour will bring a special focus to our work through an incredibly unique and fun evening – with social distancing included.”

AltaSea will present three awards throughout the evening, recognizing those who have both paved the way and inspired the next generation of ocean innovators and explorers through their work:

  • Explorer Award, recognizing Dr. Robert Ballard.
  • Ocean Innovation Award, recognizing Dawn Wright.
  • NextGen Award, recognizing Avantika Vajesh, a 4th grader from the local community.

Dr. Robert Ballard, founder and president of the Ocean Exploration Trust, has been named the recipient of the Explorer Award. Among the most accomplished deep-sea explorers, Dr. Ballard is best known for his discoveries of the sunken R.M.S. Titanic, the German battleship Bismarck, and numerous other shipwrecks around the world. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the National Endowment for the Humanities Medal from President George W. Bush in 2003.

Dr. Dawn Wright will receive the Ocean Innovation Award. Dr. Wright serves as the chief scientist for the Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri), a world-leading geographic information system (GIS) software, research, and development company. She plays a critical role in strengthening the scientific foundation for Esri software and services, while also representing the company to the international scientific community. Dr. Wright is an active board member of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other conservation agencies. Dr. Wright is also a professor of Geography and Oceanography in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University, winning Oregon Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education in 2007.

The winner of the NextGen Award is a local 4th grader, Avantika Vajesh. Vajesh has lent her voice to AltaSea’s Project Blue, which gives students the platform to support Los Angeles as the center of Blue Economy and ocean conservation education.

Award-winning opera director Peter Sellars will premiere a section of his latest opera – a production of prolific composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Idomeneo. This critically acclaimed production of Mozart’s opera opened the 2019 Salzburg Festival in Austria. The Los Angeles Times praised Sellars’ “new progressive approach to opera as an agent for societal transformation and environmental activism that goes far beyond the usual directorial updating of opera beloved in Europe, too often for little more than show-business pizzazz.”1

Sellars has gained international fame for his groundbreaking and transformative interpretations of artistic masterpieces, along with his unique collaborations on projects with a wide range of creative artists. Sellars is actively involved with growing the next generation of artists in his role as professor at UCLA’s Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance.

Idomeneo gives us a chance to examine ourselves and our relationship with the ocean,” said Sellars. “The United States premiere of Idomeneo, one of Mozart’s most brilliant works and one of my favorite projects, is going to be a really, really special moment.”

The night will conclude with a special, one-night only commissioned art installation by artists Mason Rothschild and Annie Sperling, in collaboration with world-renowned artist, Refik Anadol. The installation will be projected over the USS Iowa.

Mason Rothschild is a multi-sensory installation artist, stage designer and inventor. The founder and creative director of Discordian Design, Rothschild has worked with many global brands, including Netflix, Buzzfeed, and TikTok.

Annie Sperling is an artist and set designer, whose extensive portfolio includes music videos, commercial projects, and commissioned murals for the Los Angeles Unified School District. Sperling has served as production designer for many projects, working with global music stars Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus, and world-renowned artists David LaChapelle and Ellen Von Unworth.

Refik Anadol is an award-winning Turkish media artist and director. His work is known for its unique marriage of architecture and media arts through machine intelligence. Anadol currently is a lecturer and visiting researcher at UCLA’s Department of Design Media Arts.

“Los Angeles is well known for two things – entertainment and the beautiful Pacific Ocean,” said McOsker. “And this experience is what AltaSea is all about: becoming a global beacon for economic recovery and growth by blending the Blue Economy with the creative economy.”

Among the breathtaking visuals to be shown on a 50-foot inflatable screen are:

  • An evocative and motivational collection of videos about the Wonders, Dangers, and Solutions found at sea.
  • Footage of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park filmed by the Schmidt Ocean Institute, making its “big screen” debut.
  • The debut of the Map of La Jolla Ocean Canyons, presented by the Walter Munk Foundation.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genesis Energy, L.P. (NYSE:GEL) intends herewith to provide an update on its offshore operations, following Hurricane Laura, as well as disclose the receipt of some $41 million in cash that will also be accounted for as an increase in reported Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter.


Turning first to the offshore, there is no apparent damage to our 100% owned and operated Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline System (“CHOPS”) nor any of its appurtenant facilities. As currently configured, the CHOPS pipeline goes up and over a junction platform located in Garden Banks block 72, where it can receive pigs and launch pigs for proper maintenance of two of its 30 inch diameter pipeline segments. That platform, located in 520 feet of water, recorded waves in the 70-80 foot range and sustained winds in excess of 130 mph as the eye of Laura passed some 17 miles to the southwest of its location. The platform experienced damage to its topside facilities which is usual and customary, and not significant nor unexpected, after experiencing those type of weather conditions. Below the waterline, through diving and remotely operated vehicle inspections, several areas of structural stress have been identified that will require further investigation and analysis. As a result, no oil is currently flowing through the CHOPS pipeline.

Grant Sims, CEO of Genesis Energy, said, “We are aggressively working to collect data and conduct a rigorous structural analysis for review by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement to hopefully be able to re-occupy the platform, conduct the cleanup tasks required and return the CHOPS pipeline to normal operations. Based upon continuing data collection, observations and analysis, it would appear that CHOPS is more than likely not going to be in a position to resume operations before October 1 at the earliest.

However, we have been successful, to date, in working with shippers to divert all available and affected CHOPS barrels into our 64% owned and operated Poseidon Oil Pipeline for deliveries by it directly to shore or for Poseidon to deliver barrels into the Auger Pipeline for further transportation to shore via this alternative path. Because of the rate structures amongst the various pipelines, we expect minimal revenue impact to Genesis during this period of interrupted operations of CHOPS, other than when the volumes were shut in for the storm, and assuming the continuing conditions that there is enough available capacity on Poseidon and/or Auger to receive and transport all of the affected CHOPS volumes.

We would expect to incur total expenses associated with inspections, analyses and topside facility repairs in the range of $3-5 million, most of which will be reflected in the third quarter. Any potential costs associated with structural reinforcement or modification, either to the platform or pipeline facilities, will be treated as capital in future periods.

We are working diligently and as hard as possible to determine what it will take to return CHOPS to normal service as soon as we can, while never losing sight of our commitment to safe and responsible operations.

Shifting gears a bit, I would like to also take this opportunity to disclose that we have received approximately $41 million in cash that will be recognized as Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter for covenant compliance purposes, all as more fully described in our senior secured credit agreement. The cash received is associated with the exercise of a letter of credit we had issued to us as beneficiary from a customer that defaulted under a twenty year term agreement entered into in 2008. The dollars collected from such contractual right will be credited to dollars owed us under the last years of the contract. Under the mechanics of said agreement, we will continue to be paid the dollars owed to us.

Having already received this cash and being able to recognize it as increased Adjusted EBITDA this quarter is a positive development for us under the circumstances. Accordingly, we see no scenarios where we have the risk of not comfortably living within all of our financial covenants as we deal with the aftermath of this hurricane season and the Covid-19 pandemic which has directly and indirectly challenged our businesses, like virtually all others, but which are clearly recovering and looking forward to better things in 2021.”

Genesis Energy, L.P. is a diversified midstream energy master limited partnership headquartered in Houston, Texas. Genesis’ operations include offshore pipeline transportation, sodium minerals and sulfur services, marine transportation and onshore facilities and transportation. Genesis’ operations are primarily located in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, Wyoming and the Gulf of Mexico.

This operations and commercial update includes forward-looking statements as defined under federal law. Although we believe that our expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our goals will be achieved. Actual results may vary materially. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this operations and commercial update that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including but not limited to statements relating to future financial and operating results, the impact of Hurricane Laura and the associated timing and costs, the COVID-19 pandemic, and our strategy and plans, are forward-looking statements, and historical performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Those forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, factors and risks, many of which are outside our control, that could cause results to differ materially from those expected by management. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, weather, political, economic and market conditions, including a decline in the price and market demand for products, the outbreak or continued spread of disease, and other uncertainties that are described more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other filings, including our Current Reports on Form 8-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.

This news release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Words or phrases such as, "may," "should," "expects," "could," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "estimates," "believes," "forecasts," "predicts" or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which include, without limitation, earnings forecasts, statements relating to our business strategy and statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies and anticipated developments concerning our industry, business, operations and financial performance and condition.

The forward-looking statements included in this news release are based on our current expectations, projections, estimates and assumptions. These statements are only predictions, not guarantees. Such forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from what is forecast in such forward-looking statements, and include, without limitation, the following: the impact of the global outbreak of COVID-19 on our business and operations; a portion of our bookings may not lead to completed sales, and our ability to convert bookings into revenues at acceptable profit margins; changes in global economic conditions and the potential for unexpected cancellations or delays of customer orders in our reported backlog; our dependence on our customers’ ability to make required capital investment and maintenance expenditures; if we are not able to successfully execute and realize the expected financial benefits from our strategic transformation and realignment initiatives, our business could be adversely affected; risks associated with cost overruns on fixed-fee projects and in taking customer orders for large complex custom engineered products; the substantial dependence of our sales on the success of the oil and gas, chemical, power generation and water management industries; the adverse impact of volatile raw materials prices on our products and operating margins; economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations, including military actions, trade embargoes, epidemics or pandemics or changes to tariffs or trade agreements that could affect customer markets, particularly North African, Russian and Middle Eastern markets and global oil and gas producers, and non-compliance with U.S. export/re-export control, foreign corrupt practice laws, economic sanctions and import laws and regulations; increased aging and slower collection of receivables, particularly in Latin America and other emerging markets; our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, including in hyperinflationary countries such as Venezuela and Argentina; our furnishing of products and services to nuclear power plant facilities and other critical processes; potential adverse consequences resulting from litigation to which we are a party, such as litigation involving asbestos-containing material claims; expectations regarding acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses; our relative geographical profitability and its impact on our utilization of deferred tax assets, including foreign tax credits; the potential adverse impact of an impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets; our dependence upon third-party suppliers whose failure to perform timely could adversely affect our business operations; the highly competitive nature of the markets in which we operate; environmental compliance costs and liabilities; potential work stoppages and other labor matters; access to public and private sources of debt financing; our inability to protect our intellectual property in the U.S., as well as in foreign countries; obligations under our defined benefit pension plans; our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud; the recording of increased deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future or the impact of tax law changes on such deferred tax assets could affect our operating results; our information technology infrastructure could be subject to service interruptions, data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network security breaches, which could disrupt our business operations and result in the loss of critical and confidential information; ineffective internal controls could impact the accuracy and timely reporting of our business and financial results; and other factors described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All forward-looking statements included in this news release are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain non-recurring items present additional useful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods, providing investors with a clearer view of the underlying trends of the business. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, planning and compensation decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. Throughout our materials we refer to non-GAAP measures as “Adjusted.” Non-GAAP financial measures, which may be inconsistent with similarly captioned measures presented by other companies, should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
