Business Wire News

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Unit Corporation (OTC Pink: UNTC) (Company) announced today that it has ended its engagement with Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. (TPH) as advisor for the previously announced process to sell up to all of its oil and gas properties and reserves. The decision to terminate the Company’s engagement with TPH was primarily based on changes in the price of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids since the process was announced, as well as factors created by general volatility in the market. During the process, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Gulf Coast oil and gas properties for $56 million, subject to customary adjustments. That agreement is set to close on July 1, 2022. The Company will continue to evaluate acquisition and divestiture opportunities in the ordinary course of business.


The Company also announced today that the board has authorized the Company to increase from $50 million to $100 million the aggregate value of shares of common stock that the Company may repurchase under its stock repurchase program initially announced on July 13, 2021 and increased on October 8, 2021. Repurchases will continue to be made from time to time at the Company’s discretion through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other available means. The Company intends to fund repurchases from available liquidity. The Company has no obligation to repurchase any additional shares under the repurchase program and may suspend or discontinue it any time without prior notice. To date, the Company has repurchased 1,271,963 shares for approximately $41 million under the repurchase program.

Philip B. Smith, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The board's decision to end the Company’s engagement with TPH reflects the opportunities created by rising oil and natural gas prices and its conviction that the Company can create more shareholder value by operating the properties.”

Our confidence in the Company and commitment to optimizing shareholder returns is further reflected in the board’s decision to expand our stock repurchase program for a second time.”

Additionally, the board expressed its desire to return value to shareholders in the form of future distributions when it thinks the time is appropriate.”

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#energy--The National Hispanic Energy Policy Council launched on Friday to advocate for affordable, reliable energy and highlight the outsized energy burden faced by Hispanic families in the U.S., The Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (FSHCC) announced on Friday.


FSHCC will house the council and work in coordination with Houston-based Consumer Energy Alliance (CEA), the leading energy and environmental advocate for families and small businesses, to build a bipartisan coalition of leaders of Hispanic groups from across the country. FSHCC CEO and President Julio Fuentes will chair the council, while CEA Southwest Director Matthew Gonzales will serve as vice chair from New Mexico.

“The rampant inflation and record gasoline prices all Americans are facing right now is bad enough, but Hispanic families bear a 20% higher energy cost burden than the median U.S. family,” Fuentes said. “Transportation costs are soaring with no end in sight, and this especially hurts many Hispanic entrepreneurs, workers and small businesses across the country.”

“There has never been a more important time than now to unify the strength of America’s diverse Hispanic populations into a single voice that highlights our perspectives on something all Americans need: affordable and accessible energy,” Fuentes said. “The council will also ensure policy makers hear our voice when it comes to bad ideas, such as disadvantaging American energy production while courting dictators like Venezuela’s corrupt and illegitimate president to sell oil.”

“We are pleased to serve the council as part of our continuous advocacy for policies that increase energy affordability and reliability for all American families and small businesses,” Gonzales said. “CEA looks forward to working with the council to help educate elected leaders, policy makers and the Hispanic public on what good energy policy choices look like, in an era when America’s energy policy is clearly broken.”

New members of the council will be announced in the coming days and weeks.

About the Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

Over 13,000 workers supported maintenance projects during spring refueling outages to keep power supplied 24/7 during hot summer months and beyond

WARRENVILLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Over 13,000 workers performed technology upgrades and equipment maintenance during six refueling outages at Constellation nuclear plants this spring, investments that will prepare the plants for the hot summer months ahead. The cutting-edge upgrades and preventive maintenance will ensure Constellation’s nuclear fleet, which serves 15 million American homes and businesses, will have access to safe, affordable, carbon-free electricity this summer to help combat any periods of high heat or humidity.

During the refueling outages, workers replaced or refurbished dozens of pumps and motors, performed quality assurance inspections on reactor and fuel components, and completed tens of thousands of other technical tasks to ensure the power plants provide uninterrupted carbon-free electricity for up to 24 straight months.

“Constellation is helping accelerate this country’s transition to a carbon-free future and it begins with our zero emissions nuclear fleet running nonstop through the summer,” said Joe Dominguez, CEO of Constellation. “We met our commitment to operational excellence last winter by keeping our plants running throughout the cold months despite challenging weather conditions. Our investments in the plants this spring will help us maintain that level of performance during the upcoming summer months, as the climate crisis continues to produce extremely hot weather.”

This summer, nuclear reliability could be especially helpful in moderating electricity prices for Illinois customers. Constellation’s 24/7 carbon-free baseload nuclear power displaces generation from fossil-fuel plants that may experience further spikes in gas and oil costs. This is in addition to the $1 billion credit Constellation’s nuclear plants are projected to deliver for northern Illinois ratepayers as a result of the Climate & Equitable Jobs Act passed last year.

The refueling outages would not be possible without support from thousands of skilled electricians, pipefitters, welders, carpenters, laborers, steamfitters and other trades people on site performing thousands of inspections, tests and maintenance activities that cannot be done while the unit is online. Along with replacing about one-third of the fuel in each reactor, workers completed other major projects during the nuclear outages this spring, including:

  • In Illinois, workers at Quad Cities Unit 2 performed an overhaul and inspection of the turbine on one of the redundant core cooling systems; a full technical inspection of the Byron Station Unit 2 main generator; and a comprehensive inspection of two reactor recirculation flow control valves at LaSalle County Generating Station.
  • In the east, workers at Calvert Cliffs Station in Maryland replaced the Unit 1 main generator connections. At Limerick Station in southeastern Pennsylvania, technical experts performed a full inspection of the main turbine. At Nine Mile Point in upstate New York, workers replaced all four of the Unit 2 main power transformers, improving the station’s ability to maintain safe, reliable, carbon-free power for the upstate New York area.

“We carefully schedule these important upgrades, maintenance activities and technical inspections during periods of lower power demand to ensure our carbon-free nuclear units remain online 24/7 through the blistering summer months ahead,” said Tim Hanley, chief operating officer at Constellation.

About Constellation

Constellation is the nation’s largest producer of carbon-free energy and the leading competitive retail supplier of power and energy products and services for homes and businesses across the United States. Headquartered in Baltimore, its generation fleet powers more than 20 million homes and businesses and is helping to accelerate the nation’s transition to clean energy with more than 32,400 megawatts of capacity and annual output that is 90 percent carbon-free.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Cladding Service Market, By Type, Application & By Region - Forecast and Analysis 2022-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global cladding (metalworking) service market was valued at USD 41.98 Billion in 2021, and it is expected to reach a value of USD 55.93 Billion by 2027, at a CAGR of more than 4.67% over the forecast period (2022 - 2027).

The growth of this market is attributed to the increasing number of deep-water and ultra-deep-water fields and the growing drilling operations are expected to drive the demand for the cladding metalworking service market.

The oil and gas industry is expected to drive cladding service demand in the coming years. Oil & Gas companies work in a complex environment, where they face constant challenges, especially with respect to corrosion.

According to a recent study, the total annual cost of corrosion in the oil and gas production industry is estimated to be $1.37 billion. It is estimated that these costs and environmental risks could rise further in the years ahead, as new hydrocarbon sources are found in more challenging environments - deeper reservoirs with higher temperatures and pressures and containing greater concentrations of acid gases.

In the cladding process, the backing steel for clad plate in sour service does not need to be resistant to hydrogen-induced (stepwise) cracking since the alloy layer (clad layer) prevents corrosion (and therefore hydrogen generation) at the inner surface of the vessel or pipe.

Occasionally concern is expressed about the risk of hydrogen disbonding between the cladding and the backing steel. In the context of oil and gas production, this is unlikely to occur since there is no hydrogen produced at the inner surface. The alloy layer should be selected to be fully corrosion resistant in the expected environment so that there is no corrosion and therefore no hydrogen is generated internally.

The outer surface, if buried or submerged, would normally be cathodically protected. If protected at the correct potential, some hydrogen will be generated externally.

The report provides market sizing and forecast across five major regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Latin America (LATAM), and Middle East & Africa (MEA). In this report, the year 2016 to 2020 is considered a historical year, 2021 is the base year, 2022 is the estimated year, and years from 2022 to 2027 are considered the forecast period. data.

In the competitive landscape, the report studies the growth strategies adopted by the companies. Players in this market adopted various strategies to expand their global footprint and augment their market share.

The key strategies followed by most companies in the global cladding (metalworking) service markets were agreements and collaborations, mergers and acquisitions, and expansion.

  • The project demonstrates retrofitting of Mitsubishi Power’s fleet of advanced-class gas turbines to operate on a hydrogen fuel blend.
  • Georgia Power has already reduced carbon emissions by more than 60%, this new project showcases potential for further reductions using existing infrastructure.
  • Dry low NOx hydrogen blending on the M501G gas turbine was executed at the designed 100% natural gas firing temperature, within emissions compliance and without impact to maintenance intervals.
  • Tests included blending 20% hydrogen — an industry first for an advanced-class gas turbine — resulting in an approximately 7% reduction in CO2 emissions.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ChangeInPower--Mitsubishi Power and Georgia Power, alongside the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), this month successfully validated fuel blending of hydrogen and natural gas at both partial and full load on an M501G natural gas turbine at Georgia Power’s Plant McDonough-Atkinson in Smyrna, Georgia. The demonstration project was the first to validate 20%* hydrogen fuel blending on an advanced class gas turbine in North America, and the largest test of this kind to date, with the 20% blend providing an approximately 7% reduction in carbon emissions compared to natural gas.



Georgia Power, the largest electric subsidiary of Southern Company, collaborated with Mitsubishi Power for the landmark testing as part of a continued commitment to new research and development (R&D) to build the energy grid of the future and to reduce carbon emissions across its generation fleet, with Georgia Power having already reduced its carbon emissions by more than 60% since 2007.

The Plant McDonough-Atkinson facility, located less than 10 miles from downtown Atlanta, has served electric customers for more than 80 years and was fully converted to natural gas in 2012 and expanded to power up to 1.7 million homes. It currently operates six state-of-the-art, large-capacity M501G series gas turbines, which deliver high performance and high efficiency, as well as three steam turbines running in three blocks of 2-on-1 combined-cycle configuration.

Mitsubishi Power completed the hydrogen blending on one M501G gas turbine unit with an approximate output of 265 MW by utilizing some results of a project commissioned by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), Japan’s national research and development agency. Dry low NOx (DLN) hydrogen blending was successful at up to 20% at the designed 100% natural gas firing temperature, within emissions compliance for the existing air permit, and without impact on the maintenance intervals. The team also confirmed improved turndown by testing up to 20% hydrogen at minimum emissions-compliant load.

Mitsubishi Power provided full turnkey service for this project including engineering, planning, hydrogen blending hardware, controls, commissioning and risk management. Mitsubishi Power partnered with Certarus to source and manage the hydrogen supply. This project builds upon Mitsubishi Power’s hydrogen combustion experience and ongoing hydrogen combustion development for 100% hydrogen DLN combustion at the company’s facility at Takasago Works in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. This site encompasses the development, design and manufacture of gas turbines, as well as demonstration and verification. The company recently announced it will establish a Takasago Hydrogen Park, which started construction in quarter one of 2022. It will be the world’s first center for validation of hydrogen-related technologies. With this comprehensive capability, the company is working toward commercializing highly reliable, carbon-free power generation technologies and products, including tests and collaboration with partners around the world on a path to 100% hydrogen firing for small- and large-frame gas turbines in the future.

“This monumental hydrogen demonstration project at Plant McDonough-Atkinson is another example of how, at Georgia Power and Southern Company, we are building the future of energy, today. This demonstration helps pave the way for long-term clean and carbon-free use for already existing infrastructure. Making these smart investments today on behalf of our customers ensures we can continue to provide clean, safe, reliable and affordable energy as Georgia grows and thrives for decades to come,” said Allen Reaves, Senior Vice President and Senior Production Officer, Georgia Power. “This kind of research and development not only delivers long-term value for our customers, but also helps drive the entire energy industry forward toward a cleaner, carbon-free future. We’re proud to be playing an important role in that and excited about what we’ve been able to accomplish with our partner, Mitsubishi Power Americas.”

Southern Company’s industry-leading R&D organization served as technical consultant on the project. The team is engaged domestically and internationally in research focused on low-carbon hydrogen power generation, production, delivery, transportation, infrastructure and energy storage. Southern Company leads demonstrations with the U.S. Department of Energy covering the full value chain of a hydrogen economy and believes there is a compelling opportunity for hydrogen technology to deliver a sustainable energy future.

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), an independent, non-profit energy research and development organization, supported the development of the project. EPRI researchers were on-site during the testing, and the organization will publish a detailed report on the testing and results later this summer. EPRI delivers thought leadership and technical expertise through projects such as this one, as well as programs such as the Low-Carbon Resources Initiative.

Neva Espinoza, EPRI Vice President of Energy Supply and Low-Carbon Resources, said, "Accelerating low-carbon technology development is essential to achieve net-zero targets by mid-century. This successful hydrogen demonstration test reinforces the significant, game-changing role that this and other low-carbon technologies can play to help reach economy-wide decarbonization. EPRI’s future-focused collaboration with Georgia Power and Mitsubishi Power Americas is helping bring net-zero goals within reach.”

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In the process of finding the best technologies for solving the Renewable Energy issue, the CTO of Boly Media Holdings Co., Dr. Xiaoping Hu, has discovered hidden, but fatal errors in Special Relativity. Dr. Hu has studied and pondered Einstein's Relativity Theory since high school. Two logical errors have been found in the derivation process of Lorentz Transform which is critical in Special Relativity, and two basic assumptions are also invalid, including the assumption about light speed constancy. Almost all past experimental and observational supports to Relativity Theory have also been examined and errors and deficiencies have been found in them. Dr. Hu’s findings have been scrutinized by many top scientists and Ph.D.’s, including Nobel Laureate’s groups, in Physics and Mathematics academy for more than three months, and nobody can fix the errors yet. As such, Dr. Hu is publishing a complete and rigorous proof here, wishing the whole academic community can resolve the errors, or the foundation of Modern Physics is at a serious crisis.


Critical proofs contain only 6 pages, starting from Page 35. Now that the whole modern Physics is built on Relativity Theory, Dr. Hu calls for physics and mathematics professionals in the whole world to cross-examine these errors, so that they can be properly addressed. Physics can hardly make any further progress without fixing fundamental errors in Special Relativity.

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


The global oil & gas downstream market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 4% during the forecast period.

Factors such as increasing refining capacity across Asia-Pacific and the Middle-East, and rising industrialization in developing countries, are expected to drive the oil & gas downstream market during the forecast period. However, the growing share of fuel-efficient vehicles and increasing penetration of electric vehicles in both developed and emerging economies are expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

Key Highlights

  • Refinery segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period.
  • Digitalization and modernization of the refining and petrochemical sector is expected to reduce the refining costs and process losses. This, in turn, is expected to create an opportunity for the market during the forecast period.
  • Asia-pacific has dominated the oil & gas downstream market, with the majority of the demand coming from China, Southeast Asia, and India.

Key Market Trends

Refineries to Dominate the Market

  • The global energy demand is anticipated to grow by 50-60%, in the next two decades. This growth in demand can be attributed to the growing world population and an improvement in living standards in the developing countries. Even though new and renewable energy sources are gaining popularity around the world, the petroleum fuel remains a major energy source, globally. This trend is expected to continue for the next few decades and benefit all the sectors of the petroleum industry.
  • Further, increasing industrial activity and economic growth are likely to support the refining industry. In the developed countries, such as the United States, Brazil, the demand for diesel and other distillate is expected to be robust in the coming years. This demand growth can be attributed to the strong refinery industry in these countries.
  • Hence, the refining industry is anticipated to recover over the next five years as fuel prices rise and consumption increases. Thus, the refinery industry is expected to be major factor for the growth of the downstream market during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

  • Asia-Pacific has dominated the oil & gas downstream market in 2018 and is expected to continue its dominance in the coming years as well. In 2018, Asia-Pacific accounted for almost 35% of the global refining capacity.
  • Indian Oil Corp. and Hindustan Petroleum have allocated CAPEX for refinery expansion projects in Gujarat and Mumbai, respectively, in their FY18-19 budgets. Both the projects are expected to come online in 2021 and 2022.
  • Further, the Indian petrochemicals industry is expected to witness increasing emphasis on investment in petrochemical hubs. The government is planning to set up petrochemical complexes all around the 22 refineries in the country. Clustering is expected to reduce operational costs and involve brownfield and greenfield development.
  • Hence, the region is expected to dominate the oil & gas downstream market during the forecast period owing to the increasing investment in refining and petrochemical sector coupled with the expansion of existing downstream infrastructure in respective countries.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Ship Hull Inspection Services Market Report and Forecast 2022-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global ship hull inspection services market attained a value of around USD 12457 Million in 2021. Aided by the growing demand for new ships and operations, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.5% between 2022 and 2027 to reach nearly USD 14531 Million by 2027.

Ship hull inspection services assess the damage and corrosion in the ship's hull for the ship's operators and owners and other agencies, like insurance companies and government agencies. The rising ship repair and maintenance supply chains, growing demand for new ships and operations, expanding sea routes as a result of recent economic booms, and increased vessel construction are contributing to the market's expansion.

During the forecast period, the demand for ship repair and maintenance is expected to continue to climb. Industry service providers are offering non-destructive testing in order to obtain connections from ship owners or operations, which is assisting the market's expansion. Also, the regions in shipping and maritime applications are continuing to rise as the number of key players has increased significantly, thus propelling the industry's expansion.

Ship owners, customers, government agencies, and insurance companies benefit from the advancement in ship hull inspection services, which now include fully automated ultrasonic scanning examination. This has increased the demand for ship hull inspection services and reduced the future spending on costly repairs.

Drones have recently been tried for shipping hull inspection savvies in Japan, which is a current trend. Unmanned vehicles for ship hull inspection and vessel maintenance have been developed by leading Japanese companies. The use of such equipment minimises the number of divers needed for hull surveys and repairs. In addition to that, software providers offer solutions for monitoring the condition of a ship's hull and other machinery. This has further supported in the growth of the global ship hull inspection services market.
