Business Wire News

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Able Grid Energy Solutions (Able Grid), a leading developer of battery energy storage projects throughout the U.S., along with its development and operating partners MAP® Energy (MAP®) and Astral Electricity (Astral), today announced that full notice to proceed has been issued on the Chisholm Grid battery energy storage system located in Fort Worth, Texas. Chisholm Grid will have an initial rated capacity of 100 megawatts (MWac) and is scheduled to begin commercial operations in mid-2021. Mortenson is the balance of plant (BOP) and battery installation contractor for the Chisholm Grid facility, which is Mortenson’s ninth energy storage project.

The Chisholm Grid battery energy storage system was developed by Able Grid Infrastructure Holdings, LLC, a joint venture between Able Grid and MAP®. Able Grid will provide construction management and operational asset management services for the site. Chisholm Grid is owned by Astral Electricity, LLC, a privately-held energy storage power producer currently building multiple utility-scale energy storage projects that will reach commercial operations by mid-2021.

Able Grid was founded in 2016 under the premise that standalone battery energy storage systems would soon become a cost-effective component of the electricity systems that deliver low-cost and reliable energy to consumers. Chisholm Grid will be the largest standalone battery energy storage facility participating in the ERCOT Texas electricity market, and one of the largest in the world, when it reaches commercial operations in mid-2021. ‘Soon’ has become today,” said Barnaby Olson, CEO and Founder of Able Grid.

Chisholm Grid’s development has been enabled by the pro-market policies that are at the core of ERCOT operations,” added Aaron Zubaty, Managing Partner of MAP®. “As the Texas economy continues to grow in the coming years and is increasingly powered by low-cost renewable energy supplies, the Chisholm Grid battery energy storage system will participate in the existing wholesale electricity market as a new and highly-advanced resource to supply valuable grid services that are currently provided by costlier, polluting and less-flexible thermal generating units. Years of innovation by global technology suppliers now allow companies like Astral Electricity to deploy market-driven solutions that will accelerate the decarbonization of electricity supplies while also improving grid performance and regional air quality.”

In early August, Astral issued full notice to proceed to Mortenson and work has already begun onsite for the balance of plant and high voltage transmission components, making Chisholm Grid the largest standalone battery energy storage project currently under construction in the U.S. outside of California.

The Chisholm Grid project will set a new benchmark for world-class energy storage facilities that benefit the environment, economy, and electric grid. Mortenson is honored to join Able Grid and MAP on this transformational project in Texas,” said James Phaneuf, Mortenson’s Vice President and general manager of energy storage. “Our energy storage design and construction expertise will help ensure Able Grid and MAP’s vision for this project are successfully brought to life.”

At peak construction, approximately 50 people will be employed on-site at Chisholm Grid, and Mortenson has secured subcontracts from local Dallas – Fort Worth-based trade partners to ensure local participation on the project.

Company will emerge debt-free, paving the way for future strategic growth

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FTS International, Inc. (NYSE American: FTSI) (“FTSI” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a restructuring support agreement (the “Agreement”) with approximately 75 percent of the holders of the Company’s 6.250% senior secured notes due 2022 (the “Secured Notes”) and approximately 64 percent of the Company’s secured debt claims. The Agreement outlines a comprehensive restructuring that will deleverage the Company’s balance sheet by $437.3 million and provide it with the financial flexibility to deliver results-oriented and innovative well completion solutions to its customers. Importantly, the Agreement contemplates that the Company’s vendors, suppliers, and customers will remain unaffected by the transaction.


Michael Doss, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In recent months, we have worked diligently to cut costs and preserve liquidity under circumstances few people could have predicted. I am extremely pleased to announce this consensual deal with our Secured Noteholders which guarantees that we will remain a strong partner to our customers and suppliers going forward.” Mr. Doss continued, “We could not have reached this agreement without the support of our lenders, employees, customers, and suppliers and I thank you for that.”

To implement the restructuring, the Company and its subsidiaries, including FTS International Services, LLC, and FTS International Manufacturing, LLC, will commence voluntary cases under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and file a prepackaged chapter 11 plan of reorganization in the coming weeks. The Agreement provides that holders of the Secured Notes and lenders under the Term Loan will exchange their debt claims for $30.6 million in cash consideration and 90.1% of the equity of a reorganized FTSI. Existing holders of FTSI equity will receive the remaining 9.9% of the equity. Additionally, the consenting creditor parties to the Agreement have agreed to allow the Company to use existing cash to fund the chapter 11 cases and continue operations in the ordinary course, thereby preserving critical value for all stakeholders. The Company’s cash balance was $192.7 million as of August 20, 2020. Upon execution of the Agreement, consenting creditors will also receive a cash payment equal to 3% of the principal amount of secured debt claims held by the applicable consenting creditor, subject to the terms and conditions described in the Agreement. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company intends to enter into a new revolving exit facility on terms acceptable to the consenting creditors to provide working capital to support operations.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eureka Resources, LLC has been awarded a U.S. patent for its groundbreaking approach to cleansing and recycling wastewater from oil and gas operations.


Hydraulically fractured oil and gas wells can use from 1.5 million gallons to 16 million gallons of water, creating a wastewater stream that is typically disposed of through injection into deep wells. Eureka Resources’ recent patent was awarded for its proprietary technology that can remove hundreds of types of impurities from oil and gas wastewater, isolate recyclable minerals and generate clean water so pure it can be returned to the hydrologic cycle.

“We partner with oil and gas producers to provide an environmentally friendlier solution for their fracking effluent and a cost-effective means to achieve CRSD Certification. This, our third patent, will help accelerate our expansion to other oil and gas plays across the country,” said Daniel Ertel, Eureka’s Chief Executive Officer. “Not only does our process avoid the underground disposal of contaminated water, it generates pure water that can be used to restore wetlands, replenish depleted waterways or be reused by the oil and gas industry to reduce their draw from freshwater sources.”

In addition to creating pure water, Eureka’s process extracts minerals, such as lithium, salt and calcium chloride, from the wastewater. The company purifies its extracted minerals to exacting standards and markets them to third parties.

“We are one of only a few lithium producers based in the U.S., so we can help America’s lithium battery producers avoid imports for a more-stable supply chain,” Mr. Ertel added.

The company has been operating under permits administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Production since 2008, in compliance with U.S. EPA regulations.

About Eureka Resources, LLC
Headquartered in Williamsport, Pa., Eureka Resources has three facilities in the Marcellus Shale. Two wastewater treatment facilities have the capacity to treat 10,000 barrels of wastewater per day. A third facility serves as a secure storage site for produced water and coproducts destined for customers.

Energy Finance Veteran Added to Digital Flare Mitigation® and Distributed Cloud Computing Leadership Team

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crusoe Energy Systems Inc. (Crusoe) announced today that Matthew DeNezza joined as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. DeNezza brings decades of financial and strategic leadership experience to the Digital Flare Mitigation® and distributed cloud computing company and will allow Crusoe to finance and build a new paradigm of ESG-forward energy and computing services for the oil and gas industry.

DeNezza, Crusoe’s new CFO, said, “I have served as the CFO of a publicly traded upstream operator as well as a private equity sponsored midstream operator, and I have heard first-hand from investors that they need to solve environmental problems like flaring. Crusoe goes one step further and is creating innovative new business models with their oil and gas clients that unlock value from previously stranded or wasted resources. This is an innovation that I want to be a part of.” Crusoe is already accomplishing these goals at a significant scale, with more than 30 flare-powered computing modules deployed across North America’s oilfields. The Company is reducing flaring by millions of cubic feet per day, eliminating emissions in the process and creating a new source of value for both energy producers and compute resource users. DeNezza continued, “I am inspired by Crusoe’s mission, values, and business proposition. We will continue to build Crusoe into a novel, paradigm-shifting leader in both the energy industry and technology industries.”

Chase Lochmiller, Crusoe’s CEO and Co-Founder, said, “Matt brings a new level of experience and leadership to our fast-growing team and will help Crusoe access new funding streams and financing relationships. With Matt’s support and financing capabilities, we can scale Crusoe by orders of magnitude.”

Cully Cavness, Crusoe’s President and Co-Founder, said, “Early in our conversations with Matt, he recognized the need for today’s oil and gas operators to embrace novel, efficient environmental technologies like Digital Flare Mitigation as part of the industry’s response to environmental, social and governance (ESG) demands from investors and the public. As an industry insider who wants to make a difference and be part of the solution, Matt is well aligned with Crusoe’s mission and environmental goals.”

Prior to joining Crusoe, DeNezza served as the CFO of Meritage Midstream, a private equity-sponsored midstream firm operating in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming. Previous to his leadership role at Meritage, DeNezza was the CFO of Eclipse Resources, an early entrant into the Utica shale play. DeNezza joined Eclipse in 2013 where he and the senior management team rapidly grew the business, took the company public in 2014 and eventually merged the business to create Montage Resources Corporation in 2018.

DeNezza launched his finance career as an energy-focused investment banker, primarily at Deutsche Bank in New York City, where he worked from 2002 to 2013 serving both privately held and publicly traded upstream, midstream and downstream firms.

Prior to Deutsche Bank, DeNezza served his country in the U.S. Navy as a commissioned officer assigned to the USS Boise, a fast-attack nuclear submarine, from 1994 to 1998. He holds a BA from Harvard University and an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business and lives in Denver, Colorado with his wife and children.

About Crusoe Energy Systems Inc.

Crusoe Energy Systems provides innovative solutions for the energy industry. By converting natural gas to energy-intensive computing, Crusoe’s Digital Flare Mitigation® service delivers an environmentally sound way to create a beneficial use for otherwise wasted natural gas. Crusoe has deployed flare mitigation projects in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. Systems are scalable up to millions of cubic feet per day and can be deployed anywhere in the United States or Canada.

Background on Flaring

Natural gas flaring has become an acute pain point for shale oil producers, which produce natural gas as a byproduct of oil. This oil-associated natural gas production has outpaced gas pipeline infrastructure in many parts of the North American shale industry. In the absence of pipeline capacity, operators tend to burn natural gas in a process known as “flaring” or “combusting.” Approximately 335 billion cubic feet of natural gas are flared annually in the United States, according to latest 2017 data from the World Bank’s Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (GGFR), which is enough gas to power more than 7 million U.S. homes. Flaring generates pushback from the public and policymakers, who increasingly raise environmental concerns around emissions, resource waste, visual impacts and air quality.

Additionally, the development of domestic shale gas and tight oil reserves drive the major surge in crude oil and natural gas production in North America. This has resulted in the improved efficiency of the operations for increasing production from oil & gas wells. This increase in well intervention activities leads to a rise in coiled tubing operations in onshore wells.

North America: The largest and the fastest-growing region in the global coiled tubing market.

North America is expected to dominate the global coiled tubing market between 2020 and 2025. The North American oil production is rising drastically, with a growth rate of 7.7% from 2017 to 2018. Moreover, the continuous shale activities in the region are driving the demand for well intervention operations.

The Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) led the round with participation from OneVentures, Viola Credit, Hana Ventures, Maniv Mobility and Contrarian Ventures

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bolt Bikes, the mobility startup, today announced it has completed a Series A capital raise of US$11 million to invest in expanding its operations in the United States and move into new categories globally. Along with the capital raise, the Australia-based startup is also announcing a rebrand with a new name, Zoomo, and a new logo.


The Australian Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) led the capital raise with a US$5 million equity investment. Equity investment from Hana Ventures and existing investors Maniv Mobility and Contrarian Ventures, together with venture debt from OneVentures and Viola Credit, completed the capital raise.

Zoomo will use the capital to launch a flagship brick-and-mortar operation in Los Angeles and expand its New York footprint to include services across the entire city. The startup is also expanding into new categories, such as parcel, mail and grocery deliveries.

"The US market is critical for Zoomo's growth, and the investment will allow us to expand our product lineup and physical presence in the country," said Mina Nada, CEO and Zoomo co-founder. "We're committed to growing our operations to new American cities and states as quickly as possible." Zoomo also has operations in the United Kingdom and Australia.

Since its US launch in 2019, Zoomo has grown exponentially and provided sustainable transportation for thousands of American gig workers through partnerships with companies such as Uber Eats, DoorDash and Postmates.

Ido Vigdor, General Partner at Viola Credit, said: "Last-mile delivery has been growing immensely and we believe it will continue to do so. Mina and the team have done an excellent job producing a compelling offering in the market and building strong brand recognition, which is why we at Viola Credit and OneVentures are delighted to join this round and provide the credit funding that will support their effort to scale internationally."

Zoomo's e-bikes are an efficient and sustainable delivery vehicle and an affordable alternative for American gig workers and the delivery economy. More than 57 million Americans participate in the gig economy, either through their primary or secondary jobs. But many find the cost of vehicles, including e-bikes, a barrier to enter the market. Zoomo's business model allows couriers to rent e-bikes weekly or to own them outright.

"Zoomo is differentiated by our vertically integrated approach. We offer smart utility bikes through a physical network of service centers and world-class software for a very affordable price," said Nada.

Backing the future

E-bikes are also one of the cleanest options for last-mile delivery. Zoomo calculates that it has already enabled its courier customers to make over 2 million deliveries globally, abating the equivalent of almost 3,000 tons of CO2 since 2017.

The lead investor for the Series A is the CEFC, which is responsible for investing $10 billion on behalf of the Australian Government to accelerate Australia’s sustainable transition to lower emissions.

Ian Learmonth, CEFC CEO, said: "Electrifying Australia's light vehicle fleet is an important step in meeting our emissions reduction target. Critical to this is the development of technologies, systems and policies that enable sustainable urban freight. Zoomo is an exciting Australian company with an innovative business model that can deliver that on a global scale."

For Mina Nada, e-bikes are the future. "We believe that the bike world is ready for disruption and that in five to ten years, light electric vehicles will be the predominant form of transportation. Zoomo is taking the lead in this transformation."

About Zoomo

Founded in 2017 by Mina Nada (former Deliveroo and Mobike executive) and Michael Johnson (former Bain & Co consultant), Zoomo offers smart utility e-bikes through innovative financing from a rapidly growing physical network of service centers. Currently operating in Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom, Zoomo offers accessible, sustainable and efficient solutions for the booming delivery sector, with unrivalled features and services, including vehicle maintenance and 24/7 customer support.

About the CEFC

The CEFC has a unique role to increase investment in Australia’s transition to lower emissions. With the backing of the Australian Government, we invest to lead the market, operating with commercial rigor to address some of Australia’s toughest emissions challenges – in agriculture, energy generation and storage, infrastructure, property, transport, and waste. We’re also proud to back Australia’s cleantech entrepreneurs through the Clean Energy Innovation Fund, and invest in the development of Australia’s hydrogen potential through the Advancing Hydrogen Fund. With $10 billion to invest on behalf of the Australian Government, we work to deliver a positive return for taxpayers across our portfolio.

About One Ventures and Viola Credit Ventures fund

Sydney-headquartered venture firm OneVentures Pty Ltd. has partnered with Viola Credit, the growth and venture lending arm of Israel-based Viola Group, to launch an $80 million venture credit fund that will provide venture funding for high-growth technology companies in the Australian market.
