Schlumberger CEO Olivier Le Peuch commented, “The second quarter marked a significant inflection point for Schlumberger with a strong acceleration of revenue and earnings growth. Sequentially, revenue grew 14%, by more than $800 million; EPS—excluding charges and credits—increased 47%; and pretax segment operating margin expanded 212 basis points (bps). Growth was broad-based, driven by an increase in activity internationally, in North America, and across all Divisions. The quarter was also characterized by a favorable mix of exploration and offshore activity and the increasing impact of improved pricing, resulting in the largest sequential quarterly growth since 2010.

“On a year-over-year basis, revenue grew 20%; EPS—excluding charges and credits—increased 67%; and pretax segment operating margin expanded 279 bps.

Raising Full-Year Outlook

“The strength of our second-quarter outperformance highlights a firmly established growth inflection and our ability to comprehensively participate in drilling and completion activity growth globally. The multiyear upcycle continues to gain momentum with upstream activity and service pricing steadily increasing both internationally and in North America, resulting in a strengthened outlook for Schlumberger.

“As a result of this performance and based on our updated outlook for the remainder of the year, 2022 year-on-year revenue growth is now expected to be in the high-teens which translates to full-year revenue of at least $27 billion. “We expect this higher revenue to result in earnings that exceed our previous expectations, given our ambition to exit the year with adjusted EBITDA margins 200 basis points higher than in the fourth quarter of 2021,” Le Peuch said.

Second-Quarter Growth Broad-Based Across All Geographies

Second-quarter sequential revenue growth was broad-based, with international revenue increasing 12% and North America revenue growing 20%. International growth was widespread across all areas with more than 90% of our GeoUnits experiencing revenue growth. Growth was led by Europe/CIS/Africa which experienced 20% sequential growth due to higher Production Systems sales in Europe and Scandinavia, the seasonal drilling activity rebound in the Northern Hemisphere, and offshore activity increases in Sub-Sahara Africa benefitting all Divisions. Latin America sequential revenue growth of 10% was due to higher stimulation activity in Argentina, increased Production Systems sales in Brazil and Mexico, and higher offshore drilling in Guyana. Middle East & Asia revenue increased 7% sequentially due to higher drilling across Asia, particularly in China, Australia, and Indonesia, as well as multidivisional activity increases across the Middle East mainly in Oman, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq. In North America, sequential revenue growth of 20% was driven by a significant increase in land and offshore drilling activity and higher exploration data licensing in the US Gulf of Mexico.

Power of the Core—Complemented by Digital

Le Peuch said, “These results demonstrate the power of Schlumberger’s Core, which is performing exceedingly well and benefitting from the effects of improved operating leverage, favorable offshore activity mix, greater technology adoption, and an improving global service pricing environment.”

Sequentially, all Divisions posted double-digit revenue growth—outpacing rig count growth both in North America and internationally. Production Systems led the sequential growth, posting an 18% revenue increase on higher product deliveries and backlog conversion during the quarter, mostly internationally. Well Construction revenue increased 12% sequentially due to higher land and offshore drilling activity both in North America and internationally, in addition to improved pricing. Reservoir Performance revenue grew 10% due to higher intervention, evaluation, and stimulation activity, both on land and offshore along with improved pricing. This solid performance in the Core was complemented by Digital & Integration, which experienced an 11% sequential revenue increase, driven by higher exploration data licensing sales.

Overall, second-quarter pretax segment operating income increased 30% sequentially, and pretax segment operating margin expanded 212 bps to 17.1%—the highest quarterly operating margin level since 2015. All four Divisions expanded their margins sequentially.

Second-quarter cash from operations was $408 million and reflected the build-up of working capital in line with the significant revenue growth. Working capital is expected to improve and, consequently, free cash flow generation will accelerate through the second half of the year, consistent with our historical trends.

A Strengthened Outlook Aligned to Schlumberger’s Strengths

Le Peuch said, “Looking ahead, the second half of the year continues to shape up very well as highlighted in our revised expectations for the full year, encompassing all phases of oil and gas development and all operating environments—from high-volume onshore to deepwater offshore—and firmly establishing digital, decarbonization, and improved pricing as defining characteristics of this upcycle.

“Despite near-term concerns over a global economic slowdown, the combination of energy security, favorable break-even prices, and the urgency to grow oil and gas production capacity is expected to continue to support strong upstream E&P spending growth. Consequently, we are witnessing a decoupling of upstream spending from near-term demand volatility, resulting in resilient global oil and gas activity growth in 2022 and beyond.

“Our second-quarter results were a great demonstration of our revenue, operating margins, and earnings growth potential. I am very pleased with our execution thus far in the year and extend my appreciation to our team for delivering an exceptional quarter.”

Other Events

On July 21, 2022, Schlumberger’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.175 per share of outstanding common stock, payable on October 13, 2022, to stockholders of record on September 7, 2022.

International

Revenue in Latin America of $1.3 billion increased 10% sequentially due to higher stimulation activity in Argentina, higher Production Systems sales in Brazil and Mexico, and higher offshore drilling in Guyana.

Year on year, revenue grew 26% due to higher drilling activity in Mexico, Ecuador, and Brazil as well as increased stimulation activity in Argentina.

Europe/CIS/Africa revenue of $1.7 billion increased 20% sequentially. This significant growth was driven by activity that strengthened beyond the impact of the seasonal drilling activity recovery in the Northern Hemisphere with higher Production Systems sales in Europe and Scandinavia and multidivisional activity increases in Sub-Sahara Africa.

Year on year, revenue grew 16%, primarily from higher Production Systems sales in Europe and higher exploration drilling in offshore Sub-Sahara Africa, partially offset by the revenue decline in Russia.

Revenue in the Middle East & Asia of $2.2 billion increased 7% sequentially due to higher drilling across Asia, particularly in China, Australia, and Indonesia as well as multidivisional activity increases across the Middle East mainly in Oman, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq.

Year on year, revenue increased 8% due to higher drilling, stimulation, and intervention activity on new projects in Iraq, Oman, Egypt, Qatar and across Southeast Asia and Australia.

North America

North America revenue of $1.5 billion increased 20% sequentially and represented the highest sequential quarterly growth rate since 2017. US land revenue growth outperformed the rig count increase sequentially, while offshore revenue growth was more than double the pace of US land—boosted by increased exploration data licensing in the US Gulf of Mexico and higher drilling activity. US land revenue increased due to higher drilling activity and increased sales of surface production systems, while Canada land revenue increased despite the spring breakup due to higher Asset Performance Solutions (APS) project revenue.

Compared to the same quarter last year, North America revenue grew 42%. All Divisions experienced significant growth primarily from higher drilling and intervention activity, increased sales of production systems, increased exploration data licensing, and strong contribution from the APS project in Canada.

Production Systems revenue of $1.9 billion increased 18% sequentially as supply chain and logistics constraints abated, facilitating increased product deliveries and backlog conversion, mostly internationally. The increase was driven by double-digit revenue growth across all business lines, led by Europe/CIS/Africa on higher deliveries of midstream and subsea production systems; by Latin America due to higher sales of subsea production systems; and by North America, mainly US Land, on increased sales of surface production systems.

Year on year, double-digit growth was driven by new projects and increased product deliveries mainly in Europe/CIS/Africa, North America, and Latin America.

Production Systems pretax operating margin of 9% expanded 190 bps sequentially due to improved profitability from higher sales of surface, well, and subsea production systems.

Year on year, pretax operating margin contracted 114 bps due to higher logistics costs and unfavorable revenue mix.

Quarterly Highlights

Schlumberger continues to secure a pipeline of new contract awards as customers announce new projects and with the expansion of existing developments globally. Schlumberger is increasingly being selected for its superior performance and execution and its innovative technology that enhances customer success. Examples of awards from the quarter include the following:

  • In Norway, Aker BP ASA has awarded a frame agreement to Cameron, a Schlumberger company, for surface wellheads and production trees for up to 64 wells on the North of Alvheim, King Lear, and Valhall New Central Platform projects in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. The ten-year agreement contains optional extensions for the life of the field and covers engineering, qualification, and manufacture of digitalized wellhead equipment and production trees capable of up to 15,000-psi operation and condition-based monitoring, as well as a new 21-in metal-to-metal Fontus* configurable production wellhead system. Installation is scheduled to begin in 2024.
  • In Brazil, Petrobras awarded Schlumberger a contract for integrated intelligent completions for wells in the presalt area. The advanced completion design selected for these wells includes premium interval flow control valves, an inductive coupling downhole wet disconnect tool and a wireless real-time running tool, GeoGuard* high-performance deepwater safety valves, and Metris* permanent monitoring systems. This intelligent completion technology package will enable Petrobras to more accurately monitor and control production—enhancing ultimate recovery. This contract, for which work is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2023, is a precursor to the development of an all-electric completion, currently underway in Brazil at the Schlumberger Taubaté Engineering Center.
  • OneSubsea®, the subsea technologies, production, and processing systems business of Schlumberger, has been awarded an engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contract by OKEA for the supply of three subsea high-boost pumps to increase production from the Draugen Field, located in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea. Under the contract, which is part of a frame agreement signed in 2017 by OKEA and Subsea Integration Alliance, OneSubsea will deliver a new high-boost pump module and modify two existing pump modules into high-boost pumps capable of handling higher differential pressure and throughput to maximize production from this asset. Delivery of the pump modules is scheduled for 2023.
  • Sarawak Shell Berhad has awarded Schlumberger a contract for integrated drilling services on seven exploration wells offshore Malaysia. The scope of the contract includes drilling and measurement, electrical wireline, drilling fluids, solids control, cementing, casing drilling, bits, and mud logging. Schlumberger will apply a variety of technologies, including the Allegro CD* directional casing-while-drilling service with the sonicVISION* sonic-while-drilling service to enhance performance of this operation, which commenced during the second quarter of 2022.
  • Equinor has made a direct award to Schlumberger for downhole completion and artificial lift equipment to extend the life of the Statfjord Field in the North Sea. Supporting Equinor's dual objective of increasing recovery from the field while significantly reducing the carbon intensity of incremental production, the award includes a Shuttle* rigless electric submersible pump (ESP) using a REDA* pump powered through a completion-integrated downhole wet-mate docking station. Because an ESP can more completely drain the reservoir using less electricity per barrel than compressor-driven gas lift, this solution will increase annual production and lower carbon intensity. Installation of the completions using the Shuttle rigless ESP technology is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2023.

  • Chariot, the African-focused transitional energy company, has signed a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract with Schlumberger and Subsea 7, as part of a consortium, for the Anchois gas development project offshore Morocco. The scope of the agreement incorporates offshore components including well completions; subsea production systems; and subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines (SURF) that will be delivered by Subsea Integration Alliance. Onshore components include a central processing facility (CPF) and flowlines and controls from the CPF to the shore crossing that will be delivered by Schlumberger.
  • Talos Energy has awarded Schlumberger contracts for well construction services including drilling fluids, directional drilling, bits and reamers, and logging while drilling in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. This adds to previous awards on ongoing Talos projects, including developmental drilling from the Pompano platform on the Continental Shelf. The new awards include technologies that will deliver demanding 3D directional drilling profiles and high-quality data with superior logging-while-drilling technology. Talos is scheduled to deploy a semisubmersible rig in August 2022 for this multiwell, deepwater campaign—the latest project in a collaboration between the two companies that has developed over years to deliver best-in-class wells.
  • The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has awarded Schlumberger a five-year wireline services contract. The contract, which includes an optional two-year extension, covers open- and cased-hole wireline logging, as well as perforating and coiled tubing logging services. Schlumberger technologies, including the Pulsar* multifunction spectroscopy service and Saturn* 3D radial probe, will be deployed to maximize the production of existing wells and appraise new fields for production expansion. Work is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2022.

Digital adoption across the industry continues to gather momentum, expanding how customers access their data, improve existing or create new workflows, and use data to guide decisions that boost performance in the field.

  • Amendments to Financing Agreement have been updated and clarified

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Viston United Swiss AG (“Viston”), together with its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, 2869889 Ontario Inc. (the “Offeror”) today announced that it is extending the time for acceptance of the Offeror’s all-cash offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares (“Common Shares”) of Petroteq Energy Inc. (“Petroteq”) (TSX-V: PQE; OTC: PQEFF; FSE: PQCF) to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on September 9, 2022 (the “Expiry Time”). The Offeror will mail a notice of extension dated July 22, 2022 (the “Fifth Notice of Extension”) to the registered shareholders of Petroteq and will file the Fifth Notice of Extension on Petroteq’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

Fifth Notice of Extension

The Offeror will mail and file the Fifth Notice of Extension to the registered shareholders of Petroteq extending the time for acceptance of the Offer to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on September 9, 2022, in order to allow additional time for the Offeror to obtain the CFIUS Clearance (as defined below) and to allow the Offeror time to assess the implications of the SEC Order (as defined below) and review information and documents from Petroteq relating thereto, in connection with the Offeror’s conditions to the Offer.

If any of the conditions to the Offer have not been satisfied by the Expiry Time (including in particular, if the CFIUS Clearance has not been obtained by the Expiry Time or if the SEC Order Conditions (as defined below) have not been satisfied by the Expiry Time), the Offeror may extend the Offer through one or more extensions until the date on which the conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or the Offeror may withdraw the Offer.

Except for the extension of the Offer as described above, all other terms and conditions of the Offer continue to remain in effect and unchanged.

CFIUS Clearance

On May 16, 2022, the Offeror and Petroteq formally submitted to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) a voluntary notice (the “Notice”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Offer. The purpose of the Notice was to obtain a clearance by CFIUS in respect of the Offeror’s acquisition of Common Shares pursuant to the Offer and the subsequent second-step acquisition, if any, by the Offeror of any Common Shares not acquired by it in the Offer (the “Transactions”), as reflected in: (i) a written notice from CFIUS that the Transactions do not constitute a “covered transaction” under relevant government regulations, (ii) a written notice from CFIUS that it has completed its assessment, review, or investigation of the Transactions and has concluded all action under Section 721 of the U.S. Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the “DPA”), or (iii) an announcement by the President of the United States, made within the period required by the DPA, of a decision not to take any action to suspend or prohibit the Transactions (each of (i), (ii), or (iii) being a “CFIUS Clearance”).

On May 24, 2022, the United States Department of the Treasury notified the Offeror and Petroteq that the Notice had been accepted by CFIUS for review, that the 45-day notice review period had commenced on May 24, 2022 and that the review would conclude no later than July 7, 2022.

On July 7, 2022, the United States Department of the Treasury notified both the Offeror and Petroteq that CFIUS would be undertaking an investigation of the Transactions pursuant to Section 721(b)(2) of the DPA and that the investigation will be completed no later than August 22, 2022. On July 8, 2022, Viston and the Offeror issued a news release regarding such notification and advising that Viston and the Offeror at that time intended to extend the Offer to a date after August 22, 2022 in order to allow additional time for the satisfaction of all of the conditions to the Offer.

Due Diligence for SEC Order Condition Ongoing

On June 13, 2022, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued an Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order and Notice of Hearing (the “SEC Order”) against Petroteq and Aleksandr Blyumkin, as respondents. Given the seriousness of the SEC Order and the limited time to assess the implications of it before the June 17, 2022 expiry date, in connection with the extension of that expiry date the Offeror determined to vary the Offer to add new conditions in subsections (o) and (p) of Section 4 of the Offer (the “SEC Order Conditions”). In its June 22, 2022 news release, Petroteq expressed its willingness to provide Viston with (non-privileged) information to assist Viston in its due diligence with respect to the SEC Order. This was confirmed by representatives of Petroteq during a video conference call with representatives of the Offeror later that day. Counsel to Viston and the Offeror circulated an initial due diligence request list to Petroteq’s counsel on June 24, 2022 and additional questions on June 27, 2022. On July 15, 2022, Petroteq’s counsel confirmed that it was working on providing information and documents responsive to Viston and the Offeror’s due diligence questions and, on July 18, 2022, Petroteq’s counsel provided counsel to Viston and the Offeror with initial access to certain documents and files in connection therewith. Viston and the Offeror and its counsel are in the process of reviewing those initial documents and files in connection with the SEC Order Conditions and are expecting further information to be provided by Petroteq. The Offeror may have additional due diligence questions arising from its review of the documents, files and information provided by (or to be provided by) Petroteq, which may require the furnishing of additional documents, files and information for further review by the Offeror and its counsel prior to a determination being made by the Offeror as to the satisfaction of (or failure to satisfy) the SEC Order Conditions.

Update and Clarification on Amendments to Financing Agreement

On June 16, 2022, Viston, as borrower, Mr. Zbigniew Roch (the “Guarantor”), as guarantor and Uniexpress Investment Holding PLC (the “Lender”), as lender, entered into a first amending agreement (the “First Amending Agreement”) to the binding long-term debt financing agreement dated October 22, 2021 (the “Financing Agreement”) to increase the amount available to Viston under the term loan under the Financing Agreement from EUR 420 million to EUR 450 million. A copy of the First Amending Agreement was filed as an Exhibit to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on June 17, 2022.

Due to changes to the exchange rate between the Euro and Canadian dollars since the date of the Fourth Notice of Variation and Extension (on July 21, 2022, the daily average exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada for Euros was EUR1.00 = $1.3151 as compared to EUR1.00 = $1.3594 on June 16, 2022), the Borrower and the Lender have amended and restated the first amending agreement dated June 16, 2022 (the “Amended and Restated First Amending Agreement”) to increase the amount available to the Borrower under the term loan from EUR450 million to EUR465 million. A copy of the Amended and Restated First Amending Agreement, including an updated and correct debt payment schedule attached as Appendix II, will be filed as an Exhibit to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC and will be available at www.sec.gov.

On June 29, 2022, Viston, the Guarantor and the Lender entered into a second amending agreement (the “Second Amending Agreement”) to the Financing Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amending Agreement, the Lender and Viston had agreed to amend the Financing Agreement to remove the obligation of the Guarantor to personally guarantee the obligations of Viston under the Financing Agreement, and in replacement thereof, the Guarantor and the Lender had agreed to put in place a surety insurance bond (the “Insurance Bond”) in form and substance acceptable to the Lender. A copy of the Second Amending Agreement was filed as an Exhibit to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on July 6, 2022.

Based on inquiries, including from Petroteq’s counsel on July 19, 2022, it has come to the attention of Viston that the effective date of the Second Amending Agreement and the Insurance Bond require clarification. The Second Amending Agreement expressly states that it becomes effective on the date on which the Lender has received and is satisfied that the Insurance Bond has become fully effective and binding, the Lender has received an executed copy of the insurance certificate in the form appended to the Second Amending Agreement and the Lender has received confirmation of the initial premium payment having been made. Viston expects this to occur when the proceeds to be advanced under the term loan under the Financing Agreement are first drawn down by Viston, with the initial premium for the Insurance Bond being paid at that time. Viston has been advised by the Lender that the Annex to the Second Amending Agreement was intended to express the intent of the Lender’s insurer in issuing the Insurance Bond, on the one hand, to the Lender, as insured, on the other hand. Viston has been advised that the Annex was provided by the Lender’s insurer to the Lender who, in agreeing to relieve the Guarantor of his personal guarantee of Viston’s obligations to repay the term loan under the Financing Agreement, will be the insured under the Insurance Bond. An executed copy of the insurance certificate has not been issued by the insurer and is not expected to be issued until Viston is ready to draw down under the term loan under the Financing Agreement, at which time the Guarantor will be relieved of his obligations to personally guarantee the obligations of Viston under the Financing Agreement. An amended and restated copy of the Second Amending Agreement clarifying these matters will be filed as an Exhibit to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC and will be available at www.sec.gov.

Common Shares Tendered to Offer

Kingsdale Advisors, the Depositary and Information Agent for the Offer, has advised the Offeror that, as of 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on July 21, 2022, approximately 577,983,746 Common Shares had been validly tendered to the Offer and had not been validly withdrawn. Based on Viston’s understanding of the share capitalization of Petroteq1, the tendered Common Shares represent approximately 74.32% of the currently issued and outstanding Common Shares, and approximately 73.59% of the Common Shares, measured on a fully diluted basis.2

Holders of Common Shares who have previously validly tendered and not withdrawn their shares do not need to re-tender their Common Shares or take any other action in response to the extension of the Offer.

Summary of Offer Details

Viston reminds Shareholders of the following key terms and conditions of the Offer:

  • Shareholders will receive C$0.74 in cash for each Common Share. The Offer represents a significant premium of approximately 279% based on the closing price of C$0.195 per Common Share on the TSX-V on August 6, 2021, being the last trading day prior to the issuance of a cease trade order by the Ontario Securities Commission at which time the TSX-V halted trading in the Common Shares. The Offer also represents a premium of approximately 1,032% to the volume weighted average trading price of C$0.065 per Common Share on the TSX-V for the 52-weeks preceding the German voluntary public purchase offer in April 2021.
  • The Offer is expressed in Canadian dollars but Shareholders may elect to receive their consideration in the U.S. dollar equivalent amount.
  • The Offer is open for acceptance until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on September 9, 2022, unless the Offer is extended or withdrawn by the Offeror in accordance with its terms.
  • Registered Shareholders may tender by sending their completed Letter of Transmittal, share certificates or DRS statements and any other required documents to Kingsdale, as Depositary and Information Agent. Registered Shareholders are encouraged to contact Kingsdale promptly to receive guidance on the requirements and assistance with tendering.
  • Beneficial Shareholders should provide tender instructions and currency elections to their financial intermediary. Beneficial Shareholders may also contact Kingsdale for assistance.
  • The Offer is subject to specified conditions being satisfied or waived by the Offeror. These conditions include, without limitation: the Canadian statutory minimum tender condition of at least 50% +1 of the outstanding Common Shares being validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn (this condition cannot be waived); at least 50% +1 of the outstanding Common Shares on a fully diluted basis being validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn; the Offeror having determined, in its reasonable judgment, that no Material Adverse Effect exists; the SEC Order Conditions; and receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. Assuming that the statutory minimum tender condition is met and all other conditions are met or waived, the Depositary will pay Shareholders promptly following the public announcement of take-up and pay.

For More Information and How to Tender Shares to the Offer

Shareholders who hold Common Shares through a broker or intermediary should promptly contact them directly and provide their instructions to tender to the Offer, including any U.S. dollar currency election. Taking no action and not accepting the Offer comes with significant risks of shareholder dilution and constrained share prices. The deadline for Shareholders to tender their shares is 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on September 9, 2022.

Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “plans”, “expects”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.

Although the Offeror and Viston believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking information, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Offeror or the completion of the Offer to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking information include, among other things, the availability of the Insurance Bond, the ultimate outcome of any possible transaction between Viston and Petroteq, including the possibility that Petroteq will not accept a transaction with Viston or enter into discussions regarding a possible transaction, actions taken by Petroteq, actions taken by security holders of Petroteq in respect of the Offer, that the conditions of the Offer may not be satisfied or waived by Viston at the expiry of the Offer period, the ability of the Offeror to acquire 100% of the Common Shares through the Offer, the ability to obtain regulatory approvals and meet other closing conditions to any possible transaction, including any necessary shareholder approvals, potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement, pendency or completion of the Offer transaction or any subsequent transaction, competitive responses to the announcement or completion of the Offer, unexpected costs, liabilities, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction, exchange rate risk related to the financing arrangements, litigation relating to the proposed transaction, the inability to engage or retain key personnel, any changes in general economic and/or industry-specific conditions, industry risk, risks inherent in the running of the business of the Offeror or its affiliates, legislative or regulatory changes, Petroteq’s structure and its tax treatment, competition in the oil & gas industry, obtaining necessary approvals, financial leverage for additional funding requirements, capital requirements for growth, interest rates, dependence on skilled staff, labour disruptions, geographical concentration, credit risk, liquidity risk, changes in capital or securities markets and that there are no inaccuracies or material omissions in Petroteq’s publicly available information, and that Petroteq has not disclosed events which may have occurred or which may affect the significance or accuracy of such information.

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Synthica Energy, LLC today announced the development of a new anaerobic digestion facility in northeast San Antonio, TX. The facility will focus on converting organic byproducts from food and beverage producers into Renewable Natural Gas (RNG).


Synthica’s facility is being developed at an industrial site located along IH 35 to ensure easy access to manufacturers in the region along with rail access. The project is expected to be completed in late 2024 and will produce approximately 250,000 MMBTU of carbon negative RNG per year, and process 200,000 tons per year of food waste that otherwise ends up in landfills and emitting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

“San Antonio, as a major food production hub in Texas, makes perfect sense as a location for our food waste focused renewable natural gas facilities,” said Sam Schutte, Synthica Energy CEO. “Upwards of 30% of the materials currently going into local landfills has an energy potential that is currently wasted - and using our Urban Friendly Digestion model, we can process that material safely and cleanly into an untapped energy source. We are pleased to join the San Antonio manufacturing community in its efforts to achieve carbon neutrality in the coming years.”

“We’re proud to welcome Synthica and the 50 new jobs they plan to add to support their new facility in San Antonio. Synthica is making a smart investment here in our region where they can work in partnership with our robust food and beverage manufacturing cluster to turn waste into energy,” said Tom Long, Managing Director at greater:SATX Regional Economic Partnership.

The facility, along with a recently announced facility in Houston, TX, will be the largest AD facilities of their kind in the state, and are part of Synthica’s aggressive expansion plan to scale their model to target markets in the next five years. Engineering and Design for the facility is being performed by RETTEW, a leading anaerobic digestion engineering consultant based in Lancaster, PA.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net income (loss) attributable to Unit Corporation is expected to be $33.2 million, or $3.25 per diluted share, compared to $(14.9) million, or $(1.25) per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is expected to be $322.9 million, compared to $255.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Philip B. Smith, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our quarterly results and excited about future opportunities given the recent decision to terminate our upstream sales process. With a June 30, 2022 cash balance in excess of $115 million augmented by proceeds received in July from the sale of our Gulf Coast oil and gas properties, zero long-term debt, full utilization of our BOSS rig fleet, and an attractive inventory of upstream development opportunities, we are poised to further create and return substantial value to our shareholders. Given the Company’s growing cash balance, the Company is currently updating its calculation of tax earnings and profits. This will be important information which can be used by the Board in implementing any future plan for return of cash via dividends and distributions to the shareholders in a tax efficient manner.”

The Company has not yet completed its reporting process for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The preliminary results presented herein are based on its reasonable estimates and the information available to it at this time. As such, the Company's actual results may materially vary from the preliminary results presented herein and will not be finalized until the Company reports its final results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 after the completion of its normal quarter end accounting procedures and the execution of its internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, any statements regarding the Company's estimated financial performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 do not present all information necessary for an understanding of the Company's financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, compiled, performed any procedures on, or reviewed the preliminary financial data, and accordingly does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to the preliminary financial data. We plan to report our full results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 on or before August 15, 2022.

Divestiture Program and Borrowing Base Reduction

The Company initiated an asset divestiture program at the beginning of 2021 to sell certain non-core oil and gas properties and reserves (the “Divestiture Program”). On October 4, 2021, the Company announced that it was expanding the Divestiture Program to now include the potential sale of additional properties, including up to all of UPC’s oil and gas properties and reserves, and on January 20, 2022, the Company announced that it had retained a financial advisor and launched the process. On June 10, 2022, the Company announced that it had ended its engagement with the financial advisor and terminated the process. During the process, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Gulf Coast oil and gas properties.

On July 1, 2022, the Company closed on the sale of certain wells and related leases near the Texas Gulf Coast for cash proceeds of $43.7 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments based on an effective date of April 1, 2022. These proceeds reduced the net book value of our full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized as the sale did not result in a significant alteration of the full cost pool. Also on July 1, 2022, the RBL Facility borrowing base was automatically reduced to $31.3 million as a result of closing the Gulf Coast properties sale.

Share Repurchase Program

In June 2022, the Company's board of directors increased the previously authorized share repurchase program to $100.0 million. The repurchases will be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other available means. The Company has no obligation to repurchase any shares under the repurchase program and may suspend or discontinue it at any time without prior notice. As of June 30, 2022, we had repurchased a total of 1,519,392 shares under the repurchase program at an average share price of $36.00 for an aggregate purchase price of $54.7 million. There were 9,831,169 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2022. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, we have repurchased an additional 75,000 shares under the repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $3.8 million.

Commodity Derivatives

Cash settlements paid on commodity derivatives totaled $32.9 million and $54.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $6.4 million and $9.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The Company had net current derivative liabilities and net non-current derivative liabilities of $48.8 million and $17.2 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2022, compared to net current derivative liabilities and net non-current derivative liabilities of $40.9 million and $17.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.

Superior Distributions

Superior is expected to pay approximately $13.9 million of distributions to SP Investor Holdings, LLC in late July 2022 related to available cash generated during the three months ended June 30, 2022. These distributions are expected to reduce the remaining Drilling Commitment Adjustment Amount (as defined in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement) to approximately $48.2 million. As of June 30, 2022, liquidation distributions paid first to SP Investor of $353.7 million would be required for SP Investor to reach its 7% Liquidation IRR Hurdle at which point Unit would then be entitled to receive up to $353.7 million of the remaining liquidation distributions to satisfy Unit's 7% Liquidation IRR Hurdle with any remaining liquidation distributions paid as outlined within the Agreement.

Warrants

On April 7, 2022, the Company delivered notice of the initial $63.74 exercise price resulting in the warrants being exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock and meeting the definition of an equity instrument. Accordingly, we recognized the change in the fair value of the warrant liability in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and reclassified the $49.1 million warrant liability to capital in excess of par value on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 7, 2022. On or about April 25, 2022, the warrants began trading over-the-counter under the symbol "UNTCW".
