New battery energy storage will be installed at electric substations

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Four microgrids equipped with energy storage will be added to the San Diego region to help the state meet high energy demand, particularly on hot summer days and in the peak evening hours after solar power dissipates. These small-scale grids that can operate independent of or parallel to the larger regional grid will also help keep critical community facilities powered during unexpected outages.


San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) received approval yesterday from the California Public Utilities Commission to build these projects, which will add a total of approximately 39 megawatts (MW) / 180 megawatt-hours (MWh) of storage capacity at four company substations.

“These clean energy projects will help our region become more resilient to the impacts of our worsening climate,” said SDG&E Vice President of Energy Innovation Miguel Romero. “They will dispatch clean energy to the grid when needed and keep critical facilities like schools, Cool Zones, and fire stations powered during emergencies.”

The projects stemmed from Gov. Newsom’s Proclamation of a State Emergency issued last summer, which outlines California’s energy needs in the face of growing climate challenges. The four new projects, slated to be completed in summer 2023, are the latest of a series of energy storage investments by SDG&E, including the opening of Top Gun, a 30 MW facility, in June 2021 and Kearny Energy Storage, a 20 MW facility, in March 2022.

Battery storage works by capturing renewable resources like wind and solar when they are abundant during the day, then sending that energy back to the grid when it is needed. As with other SDG&E owned storage projects, these facilities will be connected to the state energy market so that the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) can dispatch these resources as needed to balance energy supply and demand throughout the state.

Below are brief descriptions of each of the projects.

  • The Clairemont substation microgrid will have the ability to power the Balboa Branch Library/Cool Zone, Fire Station 36, and local schools such as Lafayette Elementary and Sequoia Elementary Schools, Innovation and CPMA Middle Schools, and Madison High School
  • The Boulevard substation microgrid will have the ability to power the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, Fire Station 47, Campo Reservation Fire Station, Cal Fire White Star Station, Campo Tribal Office, Campo Kumeyaay Nation Medical Center, Southern Indian Health Council Campo Clinic, the Boulevard Border Patrol Station, and the Boulevard Post Office
  • The Paradise substation microgrid will have the ability to power Fire Stations 51 and 32, the Southeast Division Police Department, and Bell Middle School, as well as Freese, Boone and Fulton Elementary
  • The Elliott substation microgrid will have the ability to power Fire Station 39, the Tierrasanta Public Library/Cool Zone, Tierrasanta Medical Center, Jean Farb Middle School, Canyon Hills High School, and Tierrasanta and Kumeyaay Elementary Schools.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Directional Drilling Services Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The directional drilling services market is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 6% during the forecast period 2022-2027.

The COVID-19 outbreak witnessed a severe impact on the market due to stringent lockdown protocols implemented by respective governments. Factors such as drilling in unconventional reserve, which involves directional or horizontal drilling to increase contact with the pay zone, as well as increase the production significantly are expected to drive the directional drilling services market during the forecast period.

Moreover, global crude oil demand is expected to grow by 1.2 mb/d in the next four years, further increasing pressure among the top oil and gas operating companies to increase their production is promulgating the market. However, the volatile crude oil prices and low investments in regions excluding North America is likely to hinder the growth of the market being studied.

Companies Mentioned

  • Schlumberger Ltd

  • Halliburton Company
  • Baker Hughes Company
  • Scientific Drilling International Inc. (SDI)
  • China Oilfield Services Limited
  • PHX Energy Services Corp.
  • Gyrodata Inc.
  • Nabors Industries Ltd
  • Leam Drilling Systems Inc.

Key Market Trends

Offshore Segment Expected to Witness Significant Growth

  • The offshore oil and gas industry accounts for about 30% of the global crude oil production. The Middle East, North Sea, Brazil, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caspian Sea are the major offshore oil and gas producing regions.
  • Declining costs of oil production with more significant cost savings make deepwater the economical source of supply. The average breakeven price for all unofficial projects has come down to approximately USD 50 per barrel, declining close to 10% in the last years. This scenario is likely to raise the demand for directional drilling services in deepwater during the forecast timeline.
  • The deepwater oil production is majorly concentrated in four countries, Angola, Brazil, Nigeria, and the United States. Significant offshore reserves are likely to institute a favorable business scenario for the industry participants operating in the directional drilling services market in the near future.
  • The combined production from tight oil, oil sands, and deepwater is estimated to reach 21 mb/d by 2040 and is expected to account for almost a quarter of the global crude oil production. The changing economics and the exhaustion of some shallow offshore resources have compelled the producers to shift toward deepwater and ultra-deepwater resources.
  • Therefore, owing to the above points, offshore segment is expected to witness a significant growth in directional drilling services market during the forecast period.

North America Expected to Dominate the Market

  • Mainly owing to the demand from the United States and Canada, North America leads the directional drilling services market and is expected to be the largest market as of 2020.
  • The United States has one of the largest technically-recoverable shale gas reserves, and the second-largest tight oil reserves in the world. The technological development in the hydraulic fracturing and low breakeven prices have supported the oil and gas directional drilling activity in the region.
  • In the United States, the directional drilling services market is primarily driven by new offshore projects and redevelopment of matured fields. Due to the recovering drilling activity, the gas output is expected to reach an average of 47 billion cubic foot per day by 2020. The production from Marcellus/Utica shale and new oil wells is expected to account for most of the growth in gas production.
  • In Canada, the biggest increase in activity is expected from the country's main crude oil and gas producing region, Alberta. Consequently, the directional drilling services market is estimated to grow at a moderate pace in Canada.
  • Therefore, rapid growth in the drilling activities and the increase in many horizontal wells in the region are expected to drive the directional drilling services market during the forecast period.

  • Advances E3 Lithium’s Clearwater Project with Imperial funding contribution
  • Pilot project progresses commercialization of battery-grade lithium from historic Leduc field for electric vehicles and energy storage
  • Imperial to provide technical and development support

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Imperial Oil Limited (TSE: IMO, NYSE American: IMO) and E3 Lithium (TSXV: ETMC, OTCQX: EEMMF) announced today a collaboration to advance a lithium-extraction pilot in Alberta, exploring the redevelopment of an historic oil field into a potential new leading source of lithium for Canada’s growing critical minerals industry.


The pilot will support E3 Lithium’s Clearwater project, which will draw lithium from under the Leduc oil field, Imperial’s historic discovery that first launched major oil and gas development in Western Canada. E3 Lithium’s proprietary technology is designed to extract the critical mineral from the lithium-rich brine, with potential for commercial development of battery-grade products.

This exciting collaboration brings together Imperial’s long-standing commitment to research and technology to help test and scale E3’s lithium-recovery technology,” said Jason Iwanika, director of commercial business development at Imperial. “We continue to advance the innovation and technologies needed to support the energy transition, working in collaboration with governments and industry to progress new opportunities from existing assets and sector expertise.”

E3 Lithium and Imperial share an interest in the diversification of the Alberta economy, local job creation and sustainability,” said Chris Doornbos, CEO of E3 Lithium. “Leduc No.1, Imperial’s first well into this reservoir, was one of Imperial’s most prolific oil discoveries in Alberta and transformed the provincial and Canadian economies, much like lithium has the potential to do. Having Imperial now working with E3 Lithium in exploring the redevelopment of Leduc into a world-class source of lithium is an exciting new chapter in Alberta and Canada’s story.”

The pilot project includes drilling Alberta’s first lithium evaluation wells, planned to be completed by the end of the third quarter of this year. Work will also focus on scaling up E3 Lithium’s proprietary technology, which brings the brine liquid to the surface where the lithium is removed and concentrated. This liquid is immediately returned underground as part of a closed-loop system. E3 Lithium’s PEA1 estimates the first phase of development could produce approximately 20,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide per year.

Under the agreement, E3 Lithium will continue to operate the Clearwater project and retain its IP, with technical and development support from Imperial in areas such as water and reservoir management. The agreement also includes access for E3 Lithium to freehold lands in the area, which are operated by Imperial.

As part of the agreement, Imperial has agreed to invest CAD $6.35 million into E3 at a pre-paid price of CAD $1.86/warrant and the issuance of 3,413,979 warrants. Each warrant provides the holder the option to exercise the warrant for one common share of E3. The warrants are immediately exercisable, non-transferrable, expire in 24 months and are non-refundable.

Company’s Largest Hybrid PV and Energy Storage Project Reaches Commercial Operation in Auburn; New Construction-Ready Project Acquired in Hopkinton

WAKEFIELD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Agilitas Energy, the largest integrated developer, builder, owner and operator of distributed energy storage and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the northeastern U.S., today announced significant milestones for two Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) projects in its pipeline that will help accelerate the Bay State’s transition to renewable energy.


Located in Auburn and Hopkinton, both projects are classified as Community Solar Programs, will participate in ISO-New England markets, and generate Massachusetts Clean Peak Certificates. Agilitas Energy is one of the largest Massachusetts SMART program developers and these projects give the company a SMART project portfolio of seven ongoing projects with 52 megawatts (MW) of solar PV and 27 MW/81 megawatt hours (MWh) of energy storage.

The company completed the construction of its largest utility-scale, coupled solar PV and battery energy storage system in Auburn, MA. Now in commercial operation, the project consists of a 7.3 MW direct current (DC) solar array and a 3.6 MW/9.5 MWh energy storage system. It will give local consumers the benefit of lower-cost electricity and power more than 1,200 Massachusetts homes annually. Several hundred organizations have signed long-term power purchase agreements that guarantee energy savings for the next two decades.

Agilitas Energy has also acquired a construction-ready, front-of-the-meter PV and energy storage project in Hopkinton, MA that will serve Eversource with a 5.8 MW DC solar array and 4 MW/9 MWh of storage capacity. As part of the project, Agilitas Energy will set aside more than 45 acres of open space for permanent conservation, and will donate more than $10,000 for the construction of a parking area to support access to the trail network on site.

“Programs like SMART make a noticeable difference in empowering cost-effective solar development, and we’re confident these projects will help bring predictable, low-cost, clean energy to the communities that need it – other states should look to replicate what Massachusetts has done,” said Barrett Bilotta, President of Agilitas Energy. “Along those lines, we’re proud of the solar and storage projects we’ve built in our home state and across New England, and with our recent capital raise, we’re looking to replicate our success with utilities and municipalities throughout the U.S.”

The company recently raised $350 million of equity in a two-tiered investment from CarVal Investors L.P., financing that will fund a national build-out of Agilitas Energy’s large pipeline of renewable energy and battery storage systems.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PACIFIC COAST OIL TRUST (OTC–ROYTL) (the “Trust”), a royalty trust formed by Pacific Coast Energy Company LP (“PCEC”), announced today that there will be no cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of record on June 27, 2022 based on the Trust’s calculation of net profits generated during April 2022 (the “Current Month”) as provided in the conveyance of net profits interests and overriding royalty interest (the “Conveyance”). Given the Trust’s receipt of insufficient monthly income from its net profits interests and overriding royalty interest during 2020 and 2021, the Trust had been expected to terminate by its terms at the end of 2021; however, as described further below, a court has issued a temporary restraining order enjoining the dissolution of the Trust until an arbitration tribunal can rule on the plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief. As described further below, based on information from PCEC, the likelihood of distributions to the unitholders in the foreseeable future is extremely remote. All financial and operational information in this press release has been provided to the Trustee by PCEC.

The Current Month’s distribution calculation for the Developed Properties resulted in operating income of approximately $2.1 million. Revenues from the Developed Properties were approximately $4.0 million, lease operating expenses including property taxes were approximately $1.9 million, and development costs were approximately $100,000. The average realized price for the Developed Properties was $103.75 per Boe for the Current Month, as compared to $110.26 per Boe in March 2022. Oil prices in recent months generally have remained elevated well above their 2020 and 2021 levels, and were higher in the Current Month as compared to April 2021. The cumulative net profits deficit amount for the Developed Properties declined approximately $1.6 million, to approximately $16.3 million in the Current Month versus approximately $17.9 million in the prior month.

The Current Month’s calculation included approximately $143,000 generated from the 7.5% overriding royalty interest on the Remaining Properties from Orcutt Diatomite and Orcutt Field. Average realized prices for the Remaining Properties were $102.03 per Boe in the Current Month, as compared to $106.86 per Boe in March 2022. The cumulative net profits deficit for the Remaining Properties decreased by approximately $308,000 and was approximately $1.0 million for the Current Month.

The monthly operating and services fee of approximately $100,000 payable to PCEC, together with Trust general and administrative expenses of approximately $21,000 and the payment to PCEC of approximately $42,000 of accrued interest under the promissory note between the Trust and PCEC, together exceeded the payment of approximately $143,000 received from PCEC from the 7.5% overriding royalty interest on the Remaining Properties, creating a shortfall of approximately $21,000.

PCEC has provided the Trust with a $1 million letter of credit to be used by the Trust if its cash on hand (including available cash reserves) is not sufficient to pay ordinary course administrative expenses as they become due. As of March 31, 2021, the letter of credit has been fully drawn down. Further, the trust agreement provides that if the Trust requires more than the $1 million under the letter of credit to pay administrative expenses, PCEC will, upon written request of the Trustee, loan funds to the Trust in such amount as necessary to pay such expenses. Under the trust agreement, the Trust may only use funds provided under the letter of credit or loaned by PCEC or another source to pay the Trust’s current accounts or other obligations to trade creditors in connection with obtaining goods or services or for the payment of other accrued current liabilities arising in the ordinary course of the Trust’s business. As the Trust has fully drawn down the letter of credit, PCEC will be loaning funds to the Trust to pay the expected shortfall of approximately $21,000, which would bring the total amount of outstanding borrowings (including the amount drawn from the letter of credit, which also must be repaid as provided in the trust agreement) from PCEC to approximately $3.4 million plus interest thereon, related to shortfalls from prior months. Consequently, no further distributions may be made to Trust unitholders until the Trust’s indebtedness created by such amounts drawn or borrowed, including interest thereon, has been paid in full.

East Coyote and Sawtelle Fields Operations Update

As previously disclosed, WG Holdings SPV, LLC (“WG Holdings”), the operator of the East Coyote and Sawtelle fields, had not made any payments to PCEC for production from such fields since April 30, 2021, despite repeated requests from PCEC. Because PCEC accrues for estimated future net income to be received from WG Holdings, PCEC previously passed through the Trust’s share of approximately $1 million in net income from these fields, which was approximately $830,000 net to the Trust, in the relevant monthly net profits interest calculations. As disclosed in last month’s press release, due to WG Holdings’ withholding of these past-due payments, PCEC reversed the cash flows attributable to these properties for the net profits interest calculation month of February 2022 (because PCEC had not received payment), pending the resolution of the payment issue with WG Holdings. As of the date of this press release, PCEC still has not received any payments from WG Holdings. PCEC has retained counsel and continues to take steps to secure its interest in these fields; however, the outcome is uncertain.

Update on Estimated Asset Retirement Obligations

As previously disclosed, in November 2019, PCEC informed the Trustee that, as permitted by the Conveyance, PCEC intended to begin deducting its estimated asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) associated with the West Pico, Orcutt Hill, Orcutt Hill Diatomite, East Coyote and Sawtelle fields, thereby reducing the amounts payable to the Trust under its Net Profits Interests. ARO is the recognition related to net present value of future plugging and abandonment costs that all oil and gas operators face. PCEC engaged an accounting firm, Moss Adams LLP (“Moss Adams”), acting as third-party consultants, to assist PCEC in determining its estimated ARO, and on February 27, 2020, PCEC informed the Trustee that based on the analysis performed by Moss Adams, PCEC’s estimated ARO, as of December 31, 2019, was $45,695,643, which is approximately $10.0 million less than the undiscounted amount that was originally estimated before Moss Adams completed its analysis, as previously disclosed in the Trust’s Current Report on Form 8‑K filed on November 13, 2019. According to PCEC and its third-party consultants, its estimated ARO, which reflected PCEC’s assessment of current market conditions as of December 31, 2019 and changes in California law, was determined to be approximately $33.2 million for the Developed Properties and approximately $12.5 million for the Remaining Properties, or approximately $26.5 million and approximately $3.1 million net to the Trust, respectively, and PCEC has reflected these amounts beginning with the calculation of the net profits generated during January 2020. The accrual has resulted in a current cumulative net profits deficit of approximately $17.3 million, which must be recouped from proceeds otherwise payable to the Trust from the Trust’s Net Profits Interests. Therefore, until the net profits deficit is eliminated, the only cash proceeds the Trust will receive are pursuant to the 7.5% overriding royalty interest.

PCEC has informed the Trustee that in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, PCEC will evaluate the ARO on a quarterly basis. As a result of that re-evaluation, the actual ARO incurred in the future may be greater or less than the estimated amounts provided by PCEC. As previously disclosed, PCEC has informed the Trustee that at year-end 2020, and following the end of each of the first, second and third quarters of 2021, in light of the accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification 410-20-35-3, which requires the recognition of changes in the asset retirement obligation due to the passage of time and revision of the timing or amount of the originally estimated undiscounted cash flows, PCEC re-evaluated the estimated ARO, which resulted in an aggregate increase to the ARO accrual for the Developed Properties by approximately $5.1 million, net to the Trust’s interest, and an aggregate increase to the ARO accrual for the Remaining Properties by approximately $288,000, net to the Trust’s interest.

Based on PCEC’s estimate of its ARO attributable to the Net Profits Interest, deductions relating to estimated ARO are likely to eliminate the likelihood of any distributions to Trust unitholders for the foreseeable future, as previously disclosed in the Trust’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 13, 2019.

As previously disclosed, the Trust engaged Martindale Consultants, Inc. (“Martindale”), a provider of analysis and compliance review services to the oil and gas industry, to perform an independent review of the estimated ARO in the Moss Adams report that PCEC provided to the Trustee. The Trustee also has engaged an accounting expert to advise the Trustee regarding the accruals that PCEC has booked relating to its estimated ARO. As disclosed in the Trust’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 29, 2020, Martindale has completed its review of the estimated ARO and on December 21, 2020 provided its analysis and recommendations to the Trustee. Based on Martindale’s recommendations provided in its report to the Trust, as disclosed in the Trust’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 29, 2020, the Trustee requested that PCEC promptly make several adjustments to its calculations and methods of deducting ARO from the proceeds to which the Trust is otherwise entitled pursuant to its Net Profits Interests. PCEC has responded to the Trustee, indicating PCEC’s view that the adjustments would violate applicable contracts and accounting standards, and has therefore declined to make any adjustments to the estimated ARO calculation based on those requests and the recommendations of the Martindale report. The Trustee has concluded that it has taken all action reasonably available to it under the Trust’s governing documents in connection with PCEC’s ARO calculation and therefore has determined not to take further action at this time.

As described in more detail in the Trust’s filings with the SEC, the trust agreement provides that the Trust will terminate if the annual cash proceeds received by the Trust from the Net Profits Interests and 7.5% overriding royalty interest total less than $2.0 million for each of any two consecutive calendar years. Because of the cumulative net profits deficit—which PCEC contends is the result of the substantial reduction in commodity prices during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and PCEC’s deduction of estimated ARO beginning in the first quarter of 2020—the only cash proceeds the Trust has received since March 2020 have been attributable to the 7.5% overriding royalty interest. As a result, the total proceeds received by the Trust in each of 2020 and 2021 were less than $2.0 million. Therefore, the Trust had been expected to terminate by its terms at the end of 2021.

Status of the Dissolution of the Trust

As previously disclosed in the Trust’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 23, 2021, on December 8, 2021, Evergreen Capital Management LLC (“Evergreen”) filed an Amended Class Action and Shareholder Derivative Complaint alleging a derivative action on behalf of the Trust and against PCEC in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles (the “Court”).

On December 10, 2021, Evergreen filed a motion for temporary restraining order and for preliminary injunction, seeking to (1) enjoin the Trustee from dissolving the Trust, (2) enjoin PCEC from dissolving the Trust, (3) direct PCEC to account for all monies withheld from the Trust on the basis of ARO costs since September 2019, and (4) direct PCEC to place such monies in escrow.

On December 16, 2021, the Court granted Evergreen’s application for a temporary restraining order. Accordingly, the Trust did not dissolve at the end of 2021 and commence the process of selling its assets and winding up its affairs. On January 11, 2022, PCEC and Evergreen filed an agreed stipulation to stay the prosecution of Evergreen’s derivative claims pending an arbitration of such claims. On January 13, 2022, the Court signed an Order dissolving the December 16, 2021, temporary restraining order and entering a new temporary restraining order to preserve the status quo until a tribunal of three arbitrators appointed pursuant to the trust agreement could rule on any request by Evergreen for injunctive relief. On April 11, 2022, PCEC notified the Court, at the arbitrators’ request, that the arbitration panel had issued an order on April 7, 2022, denying Evergreen’s request for injunctive relief. On April 13, 2022, Evergreen notified the Court that Evergreen had filed a motion for reconsideration with the arbitration panel that same day. On June 9, 2022, PCEC and Evergreen filed a stipulation, requesting that the Court stay the lawsuit for 90 days pending further ruling from the arbitration panel.

Production Update

PCEC has informed the Trustee that PCEC continues to strategically deploy capital to enhance production. Costs associated with returning wells to service must be recovered before cash flow to the Trust can be created. Although oil prices have improved significantly from their lowest levels in 2020, any monthly payments that PCEC may make to the Trust may not be sufficient to cover the Trust’s administrative expenses and outstanding debt to PCEC, and therefore the likelihood of distributions to the unitholders in the foreseeable future is extremely remote.

Overview of Trust Structure

Pacific Coast Oil Trust is a Delaware statutory trust formed by PCEC to own interests in certain oil and gas properties in the Santa Maria Basin and the Los Angeles Basin in California (the “Underlying Properties”). The Underlying Properties and the Trust’s net profits, and royalty interests are described in the Trust’s filings with the SEC. As described in the Trust’s filings with the SEC, the amount of any periodic distributions is expected to fluctuate, depending on the proceeds received by the Trust as a result of actual production volumes, oil and gas prices, development expenses, and the amount and timing of the Trust’s administrative expenses, among other factors.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This press release contains statements that are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this press release, other than statements of historical facts, are "forward-looking statements" for purposes of these provisions. These forward-looking statements include estimates of future asset retirement obligations, expectations regarding the impact of deductions for such obligations on future distributions to unitholders, estimates of future total distributions to unitholders, expectations regarding the outcome of the legal proceedings relating to the Trust and any future dissolution of the Trust, expectations regarding the impact of lower commodity prices on oil and gas reserve estimates, statements regarding the impact of returning shut-in wells to production, expectations regarding PCEC’s ability to loan funds to the Trust, and the amount and date of any anticipated distribution to unitholders. In any case, PCEC’s deductions of its estimated asset retirement obligations will have a material adverse effect on distributions to the unitholders and on the trading price of the Trust units and may result in the termination of the Trust. Any anticipated distribution is based, in part, on the amount of cash received or expected to be received by the Trust from PCEC with respect to the relevant period. Any differences in actual cash receipts by the Trust could affect this distributable amount. The amount of such cash received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions) has been and will be significantly and negatively affected by low commodity prices, which declined significantly during 2020, could decline again and could remain low for an extended period of time as a result of a variety of factors that are beyond the control of the Trust and PCEC. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include expenses related to the operation of the Underlying Properties, including lease operating expenses, expenses of the Trust, and reserves for anticipated future expenses. Statements made in this press release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in this press release. Neither PCEC nor the Trustee intends, and neither assumes any obligation, to update any of the statements included in this press release. An investment in units issued by Pacific Coast Oil Trust is subject to the risks described in the Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 8, 2019, and if applicable, the Trust’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The Trust's Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q are available over the Internet at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.

Pikes Peak Live, presented by Mobil 1, will stream the historic race exclusively on YouTube

Mobil 1 has teamed up with drivers Jeff Zwart and Loni Unser to “Race to the Clouds”

Hoonigan, BBI, and Mobil 1 join forces to create Hoonipigasus, a 1,400 horsepower, twin-turbo Porsche engineered to set the record on America’s Mountain

SPRING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On its quest to give back to driving fans with thrilling content, innovative products and incredible racing experiences, Mobil 1™, the world’s leading synthetic motor oil brand, is once again returning to the 100th Running of The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, brought to you by Gran Turismo – all for the love of driving! Mobil 1 enters the centennial race as the winningest motor oil brand to compete on the mountain, having racked up 84 wins since Louis Unser first took home glory in 1923 using conventional Mobiloil™ lubricants. Fast forward to 2022, Mobil 1 lubricant technology will protect the cars of two legacy drivers – Jeff Zwart and Loni Unser – as well as the much-anticipated “Hoonipigasus,” with icon Ken Block behind the wheel. Racing fans can get in on the action when they tune into Pikes Peak Live presented by Mobil 1, streamed exclusively on the Mobil 1 YouTube page.


Pikes Peak Live presented by Mobil 1: The Only Way To Stream the “Race to the Clouds”

As all eyes turn to the historic race on Sunday, June 26, 2022, Pikes Peak Live presented by Mobil 1 will provide fans a closer-than-ever-before view to the passenger’s seat of the world’s most adrenaline-inducing drivers’ cars as they take on the 14,115-foot mountain climb. For the third year in a row, Pikes Peak will be live streamed exclusively on the Mobil 1 YouTube page and feature new hosts live from the pits, new HD, surprise guests, cameras, and live timing. Fans can tune-in for free and will have a chance to win limited-edition giveaways throughout the livestream.

At the helm of the broadcast, Formula DRIFT commentator Jarod DeAnda will debut as the “Voice of the Mountain,” serving up gear-turning, play-by-play commentary. He will be joined by Tanner Foust, “Pikes Peak Live Technical Attaché,” to break down the automotive technological capabilities throughout the climb. Foust will offer his unique and veteran perspective to the event, as he previously took on America’s Mountain last year in a Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport. The broadcast will begin on Sunday, June 26 at 7:00 a.m. MT and conclude at 12:00 p.m., bearing weather conditions.

Where Family and Mountain Legacy Intersect: Mobil 1 Backs Loni Unser and Jeff Zwart

With a partnership dating back to 1997, legendary driver Jeff Zwart will once again trust Mobil 1 lubrication technology as he tackles his 17th running of Pikes Peak in a 2019 Porsche 935-19. In the convergency of legacy stories, Zwart will serve as the coach of the brand’s other sponsored driver, rookie Loni Unser, and the entire Porsche Pikes Peak Trophy by Yokohama division of drivers.

As one of three women competitors to enter a field of 73, Loni Unser will make her debut at the event that is practically synonymous to her family’s last name. The Unser family also has a long-standing relationship with Mobil 1, dating back to 1934, when American auto racer, and Loni’s great uncle, Louis Unser claimed first place. Louis went on to become a nine-time champion using conventional Mobiloil™ lubricants.

Both Loni’s and Zwart’s vehicles will feature the same Mobil 1 products you can buy off-the-shelf, which help deliver the performance and protection needed at the extremes found at 14,115 feet of elevation. Liveries will be outfitted with the brand’s iconic Mobil Pegasus, which been flying with the world’s fastest cars up Pikes Peak since when Loni’s great uncle first won with a Mobil Pegasus on the hood – and the brand’s love of driving has only grown every year since.

The Hoonipigasus: The Newest Mythical Car

With a nod to the past, and a wink towards what lays past those checkered lines, the Hoonipigasus has a moniker that combines the spirit of motorsport legacy between three iconic marks: Hoonigan, Porsche and the Mobil 1 Pegasus. The 1,400 horsepower Pink Porsche, fed by two turbochargers and driven by legendary driver, Ken Block, was dreamed up to celebrate what’s possible when fun, performance and the love of driving are packed into a single vehicle.

“As a brand we’re constantly looking to take on challenges that push us out of our comfort zone,” said Ryan Allen, automotive brands and partnerships manager for North America at ExxonMobil. “By joining forces with Hoonigan this year to create the Hoonipigasus, we are seeking to honor the spirit of the engineers that took on Pikes Peak when it was open-wheeled cars risking it all for a chance at glory. We are beyond excited to see this incredible build on the mountain!”

Hoonipigasus will rely on Mobil 1 lubrication technology to fight its way up to the 14,115-foot summit, keeping the legacy alive and feeding the drive for all motorsport enthusiasts. The vibrant pink color scheme that once paid homage to the Porsche 917/20 ‘Pink Pig,’ and turned heads at Le Mans in 1971 will be making its coveted return once again in a new form.
