Will reduce size and power consumption of DC1500V converters including renewable-energy types

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it will begin shipping samples of its LV100-type T-series 2.0kV insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) Module for industrial use this May. The new power-semiconductor product is expected to downsize and reduce the power consumption of power-conversion equipment for use with renewable-energy sources. Also, the product will be exhibited at major trade shows, including Power Conversion Intelligent Motion (PCIM) Europe 2022 in Nuremberg, Germany from May 10 to 12.

Power semiconductors for efficiently converting electric power are being increasingly utilized as key devices that can help to lower the carbon footprint of global society. At the same time, efficient power conversion through the deployment of increasingly higher system-operating voltages is being demanded for power grids that use renewable-energy power sources, which has led to the development of power converters rated at DC1500V, the upper limit of the EU’s Low Voltage Directive.¹

30-vehicle electric bus fleet scheduled for record-setting deployment in less than seven months

BELMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Mobility House announced today its partnership with Modesto City Schools in California to integrate its smart charging and energy management system, ChargePilot, with the district’s new electric bus fleet. Modesto City Schools, in partnership with California’s Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project, has invested $14 million to purchase 30 Blue Bird electric buses – the largest single order in Blue Bird history – replacing nearly half of its existing diesel fleet and saving over $250,000 a year with zero-emission alternatives. The project is led by Modesto City Schools, with construction and engineering to be completed by Schneider Electric, and in collaboration with A to Z Bus Sales.

Charging infrastructure for the project will break ground in June 2022, with buses expected to be commissioned between September and December of this year.

“Our sustainability initiatives to reduce air pollution in our community are also an important step in introducing the next generation of students to cleaner transportation,” said Tim Zearley, associate superintendent of business services, Modesto City Schools. “I’m proud of Modesto City Schools for leading by example and becoming the first district in Stanislaus County to integrate zero-emission buses into the school system.”

Modeled after the successful fleet electrification project by Stockton Unified School District in 2021, Modesto City Schools will leverage The Mobility House’s ChargePilot to optimize charging schedules that ensure all vehicles remain readily available while also minimizing electricity costs according to local utility rates. Charging infrastructure for the 30-vehicle electric fleet, which the district plans to expand by an additional 30 electric buses in the near future, includes 30 BTC 16.8kW AC chargers and two ABB 50kW DC fast chargers.

“Modesto City Schools’ commitment to fighting climate change and teaching our students the importance of a healthier environmental ecosystem is truly inspirational,” said Representative Josh Harder. “Investments in clean transportation like Modesto’s are the foundation we need to build stronger, more resilient communities.”

“Modesto City Schools is a shining example of how the fleet electrification blueprint we helped establish for Stockton Unified School District can be easily replicated, for school bus fleets of any size,” said Zoheb Davar, head of business development for The Mobility House. “Modesto City Schools is to be commended for prioritizing environmental stewardship, and we’re here to help them realize their operational and sustainability goals with smart charging management.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with Modesto City Schools in their historic shift to an electrified school bus fleet and, in doing so, to leverage our energy infrastructure and funding expertise to help the district achieve its lofty sustainability objectives,” said Tammy Fulop, Vice President, Schneider Electric. “Our accelerated implementation of the charging structure will occur in parallel to the installation of six Sustainable Outdoor Learning Environments and the addition of ~800 kWp of solar carport arrays. These combined measures will save the district fuel, energy and operational costs that can be reinvested into further sustainability programs.”

Public project funding of $6.3 million was provided by Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP), a program launched by the California Air Resources Board and administered by CALSTART, a national clean transportation nonprofit consortium. The district also plans to implement congruent green initiatives throughout its schools and facilities, such as solar canopies, electric lawn mowers and clean energy education programs for students.

The Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean School Bus Program is awarding funding grants totaling five billion dollars over the next five years to replace diesel school buses with clean and zero-emission models.

P66 Co intends to enter into a supplemental indenture with the respective trustee for the Old Notes to effectuate the Indenture Amendments with effect from the settlement date of the Exchange Offers.

Withdrawal rights for the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations expired as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 19, 2022 (the “Withdrawal Deadline”). Because the Withdrawal Deadline is not being extended, holders may not withdraw Old Notes, or revoke consents, previously tendered or tendered after the Withdrawal Deadline, except as may be required by law.

As of the Early Participation Date, the following principal amounts of each series of Old Notes have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn (and consents thereby validly given and not validly revoked) as reported by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the exchange agent:

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being conducted upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Confidential Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement dated April 6, 2022 (the “Offering Memorandum”).

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 3, 2022, unless such date is extended (the “Expiration Date”). P66 Co currently expects the settlement of the Exchange Offers to occur on May 5, 2022, unless the Expiration Date is extended. Subject to applicable law, each Exchange Offer and each Consent Solicitation is being made independently of the other Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, and P66 Co reserves the right to terminate, withdraw or amend each Exchange Offer and each Consent Solicitation independently of the other Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations at any time and from time to time, as described in the Offering Memorandum.

The Exchange Offers are only made, and the New Notes are only being offered and issued, (a) in the United States to holders of Old Notes who are “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), or (b) outside the United States to holders of Old Notes who (i) are persons other than U.S. persons in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act, (ii) are not “EEA Retail Investors” or “UK Retail Investors” (each as defined in the Offering Memorandum) and (iii) in the case of persons located in the United Kingdom, are “Relevant Persons” (as defined in the Offering Memorandum).

The Offering Memorandum will only be made available to holders of Old Notes who certify that they are Eligible Holders. Eligible Holders may obtain copies of the Offering Memorandum by contacting D.F. King & Co., Inc., the exchange agent and information agent for the Exchange Offers and the Consent Solicitations, at (877) 783-5524 (U.S. toll free) or (212) 269-5550 (banks and brokers), by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots.

Holders of any Old Notes issued in certificated form and that are held of record by a custodian bank, depositary, broker, trust company or other nominee may also contact such record holder for assistance concerning the Exchange Offers.

The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. In connection with the issuance of the New Notes, P66 Co and Phillips 66 will enter into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which they will agree to exchange the New Notes for registered notes having substantially the same terms as the New Notes or, in certain circumstances, to register the resale of New Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Until they are registered, the New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein and is not a solicitation of the related consents. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made solely pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Offering Memorandum and the other related materials and only to such persons and in such jurisdictions as is permitted under applicable law. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are not being made in any state or jurisdiction in which such offers would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

In order to participate in any Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation for Old Notes, holders of the Old Notes resident in Canada are required to complete, sign and submit to the exchange agent the related Canadian Certification Form. The New Notes may be sold only to purchasers purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing, as principal that are accredited investors, as defined in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), and are permitted clients, as defined in National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations. Any resale of the New Notes must be made in accordance with an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.

Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if the offering memorandum (including any amendment thereto) contains a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – The New Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended or superseded, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended or superseded, the “Prospectus Regulation”). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the European Economic Area has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS – The New Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (“UK”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended or superseded, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK Prospectus Regulation”). Consequently no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

NEWCASTLE & HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TechnipFMC plc (NYSE: FTI) (the “Company”) announced today that it has commenced a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”), subject to certain terms and conditions, for up to $320 million aggregate principal amount (the “Maximum Tender Amount”) of its 6.500% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”).

In connection with the Tender Offer, the Company also commenced the solicitation of consents (the “Consents”) of holders with respect to the Notes (the “Consent Solicitation”) to certain proposed amendments to the indenture for the Notes (the “Proposed Amendments”) described in the Statement (as defined below). The Proposed Amendments will, if adopted, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default in the indenture. Effectiveness of the Proposed Amendments is subject to certain conditions described in the Statement, including receipt of the requisite number of Consents and the condition that the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer are not subject to proration.

The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation are set forth in an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation (the “Statement”), dated April 20, 2022. The Company intends to fund the Tender Offer with cash on hand.

The following table summarizes the material pricing terms of the Tender Offer:

_______________

The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 P.M., New York City time, on May 17, 2022 (the “Expiration Time”), unless extended or earlier terminated. Holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 3, 2022 (the “Early Tender Time”), and whose Notes are accepted for purchase, will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of such Notes, the “Total Consideration” of $1,050.00, which includes an “Early Tender Premium” of $30.00. Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time will only be eligible to receive the “Tender Offer Consideration,” which is the Total Consideration less the Early Tender Premium. A valid tender of Notes will constitute the valid delivery of such holder’s Consents and a direction to the Trustee to execute the supplemental indenture reflecting the Proposed Amendments.

In addition to the Total Consideration or Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date for the Notes to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. Payment for all Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase will be made on the “Early Settlement Date”, which will be promptly after the Early Tender Time and is anticipated to occur on or about May 4, 2022. Payment for all Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase, if any, will be made promptly after the Expiration Time.

If more than the Maximum Tender Amount of Notes are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, the Company will accept such Notes for purchase on a pro rata basis up to the Maximum Tender Amount. If, at the Early Tender Time, the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered equals or exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, the Company reserves the right not to accept for purchase any Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time. If, at the Early Tender Time, the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered is less than the Maximum Tender Amount, the Company expects to accept for purchase all Notes validly tendered at or before the Early Tender Deadline without proration, and, in such instance, only Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline and at or before the Expiration Time will be subject to possible proration. The Company reserves the right, but is not obligated, to increase the Maximum Tender Amount in its sole discretion.

Tendered Notes may be withdrawn and Consents delivered may be revoked at any time at or prior to, but not after, 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 3, 2022, unless extended by the Company, except under certain limited circumstances as otherwise required by law.

The consummation of the Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered or the receipt of requisite Consents to adopt the Proposed Amendments, but is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Statement.

The Company has engaged BofA Securities, Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. to act as the dealer managers for the Tender Offer and solicitation agents for the Consent Solicitation.

• The event was attended by Pere Aragonès, Reyes Maroto and Ada Colau, as well as other institutional representatives, customers, suppliers and members of the company's board of directors.
• With an expected production capacity of over 750,000 chargers per year, the new plant will put the company in a position to respond to the growing demand for electric vehicles.
• The company has invested 9 million euros in a facility that is expected to employ more than 500 people.

BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The President of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Pere Aragonès, the Minister for Industry, Trade and Tourism, Reyes Maroto, and the Mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, inaugurated Wallbox’s new plant this morning, a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy management solutions, located in Barcelona's Zona Franca.

Also present at the event were the special delegate of the Consorci de la Zona Franca, Pere Navarro; the president of the Diputació de Barcelona, Núria Marín and the Delegate of the Spanish Government in Catalonia, Maria Eugènia Gay. In addition, all the members of the Board of Directors of Wallbox, prominent investors, customers, and suppliers, among others, attended the event.

Enric Asunción, CEO and co-founder of Wallbox, welcomed all the attendees and explained that "this is Wallbox, a company that works with a clear objective: to be the best in charging solutions for electric vehicles and energy management worldwide. We are no longer a start-up. We have grown and now we are a global company with a presence in almost 100 markets and listed on the NYSE. We are still growing! And here, in this factory that we are inaugurating today, you have proof of that".

According to the president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, "It fills me with pleasure to accompany the inauguration of the new Wallbox production plant in Barcelona. This milestone is essential, not only for environmental and energy reasons, but also for the development and transition to electric mobility. Without Wallbox, it would not be possible".

“Wallbox’s innovative spirit is allowing us to react more quickly to the global supply crisis, due to the shortage of components on the international market”, assured Reyes Maroto, the Minister for Industry, Trade and Tourism of the Spanish Government. “Moreover, Wallbox’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond the products they manufacture. The best example is that by the end of 2022, between 30% and 60% of the energy needs of this factory production process will be managed through self-consumption. Additionally, the smart energy management system at your [Wallbox] Barcelona headquarters is a model to follow”.

For the Mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, "Barcelona is Spain's technological and scientific capital, and one of the main ones in Europe. Both for the creation of leading companies such as Wallbox, which was born and raised in Barcelona and for attracting investors and congresses in the most advanced sectors such as sustainability and ICT. Events like today's confirm that Barcelona is leading the economic recovery after the pandemic and that it is also in great momentum".

"Today marks a milestone in a success story that we at Iberdrola feel part of, having partnered with Wallbox for the past seven years. Since 2015, our collaboration has not stopped growing. We backed Wallbox as part of our start-up investment program. We were the first purchaser of the Pulsar home charger and of the first Supernova public charging solution. Moreover, we have participated in Wallbox's international expansion with orders for Iberdrola group subsidiaries in many other countries. Today I am pleased to announce that we will be the first customer for Wallbox’s new ultra-fast Hypernova charger, as part of the overall agreement to purchase a total of 10,000 Wallbox chargers, an amount similar to the total number of public charging points in Spain today. The alliance that we are strengthening today demonstrates the advantages of the symbiosis between consolidated business projects, such as Iberdrola, and emerging companies such as Wallbox", explained Iberdrola's Chairman, Ignacio Galán.

A pioneering factory for a company ahead of its time

Wallbox's new factory in Barcelona is located in Zona Franca, a traditionally industrial area. Wallbox is one of the first startups to set up here and believes that its technological activity will renew and revitalize the area.

This new plant has involved an investment of approximately 9 million euros. It currently employs 203 people, but it is expected to employ more than 520 when running at its full operational capacity and in 3 shifts.

In total, the plant has four production lines: two dedicated to manufacturing the Pulsar+, Copper, Commander2, and Quasar chargers for Europe, and another producing Pulsar UL for the North American market. The fourth line is dedicated to the exclusive production of Supernova, the first public Wallbox charger. These automated production lines are at the forefront of production processes and they are designed to allow customers to receive their charger in just 72 hours (this is the time lap between when an order is approved and the parcel is sent). Currently, Wallbox's new factory in Barcelona produces almost 1,200 chargers per day.

The new Wallbox factory in Barcelona began operating just over a year after the company and the Consorci de la Zona Franca signed a 10-year lease agreement for the land. The factory has 11,220 m2 and is built on a 16,800 m2 plot of land. This surface is occupied by an office area, a warehouse for materials, another for the loaders already produced and about to be shipped, the production lines and a validation area.

A plant that follows Wallbox's sustainability principles

The facility is at the forefront of innovation, efficiency, production and capacity. In addition, this new factory carries the principles of sustainability that have always identified Wallbox. In this sense, the company is a pioneer in the application of the 'cradle to cradle' concept at an industrial level. This philosophy aims to eliminate waste and has been applied in the new factory from the moment construction began. The new factory also follows the principles of 'lean manufacturing' (the industrial philosophy that improves the production process by eliminating unnecessary systems, seeks to increase the quality of products, and eliminates all activities that do not add value, among others).

On top of this, during the third quarter of 2022, 4,500 square meters of solar panels are expected to be installed on the roof of the factory, which are designed to supply 900kW of renewable energy to the factory, representing between 30 and 60% of the estimated energy needs of the production process. This installation will mean estimated savings equivalent to the consumption of more than 400 homes, based on an [average electricity consumption of an average household in Spain].

Throughout 2022, the solar panels are expected to be connected to the Sirius system, the energy management software developed by Wallbox. Sirius not only integrates the solar panels but also the bidirectional Quasar chargers that are expected to be installed in the car park of the new factory. Wallbox plans to set around 30 of them to both charge the electric vehicles and discharge their batteries to supply the building with electricity. With all these elements - plus the electricity from the grid itself - Sirius is designed to autonomously decide at any given moment which is the best source of energy - depending on the needs at that precise moment but also on the price of electricity. Sirius' unique and innovative technology is expected to make the Wallbox factory 100% self-sufficient within the next few years.

Research, development and innovation/ RDI, the main investment of Wallbox

Beyond the production area, one of the most outstanding spaces in the new factory is the validation area. This is the company's third laboratory and is designed to allow the necessary tests and trials to be carried out to ensure the quality of both the software developed by Wallbox and the chargers. Durability tests of all products will also be carried out here with the two climatic chambers that allow the climate of any part of the world to be recreated. In this way, the company ensures that all its products are designed to be suitable for each region. These chambers allow extreme climates to be recreated, ranging from -80ºC to 170ºC. They also allow the chargers to be tested in dust, water, and saltwater.

This laboratory has other functions such as testing the compatibility of all the chargers developed by Wallbox with the different electric vehicle manufacturers. In addition, the validation area will also be used to develop the test equipment that will be used during the production process and that is designed to ensure the quality of all the products that leave the new factory line.

"Wallbox is a company that does not settle and is always looking for ways to innovate and make life easier for the user. That is why every year we invest a very important part of our budget in innovation. Not only that, but about a third of our staff, 300 engineers, are devoted to it. Because we know that our future as a company is always one step ahead and we plan to move forward with the market and the needs of the consumer", concluded Enric Asunción, CEO of Wallbox.

The company has two other laboratories where it develops both its products and the validation tools for all the chargers it produces: one at its headquarters in Barcelona and the other in California (United States). Innovation and, therefore, investment in R&D&I is one of the company's priorities. In 2021, Wallbox invested 12 million euros in this concept.

Acquisition Provides Immediate Accretive Cash Flow and Increased Scale with Minimal Incremental Overhead

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Empire Petroleum (NYSE American: EP) ("Empire" or the "Company"), an oil and gas company with current producing assets in Texas, Louisiana, North Dakota, Montana and New Mexico, announced today that it has closed the acquisition of operated and non-operated oil and natural gas assets from a publicly-owned oil and gas company on April 1, 2022. The acquired assets are located in the Landa Madison and Landa West Madison Units in Bottineau County, North Dakota and the Birdbear Area in Golden Valley and Billings County, North Dakota.

Acquisition Highlights

• Provides immediate accretive cash flow and increased scale with minimal incremental overhead;
• Increases North Dakota pro forma net production by an estimated 24% to approximately 9,250 barrels of oil equivalent per month⁽¹⁾;
• Evaluated solely on proved developed producing ("PDP") reserves based on forward prices substantially below current levels;
• Adds approximately 700,000 BOE of long-life PDP reserves⁽²⁾;
• Doubles the leasehold position of Empire’s operated Landa Field and creates a uniform wholly-operated field with calculated original oil in place (OOIP) of approximately 6.5 million barrels;
• The Birdbear Play in Central Western North Dakota adds a new potential consolidation play in the Williston Basin’s prolific Devonian formations; and
• Transaction funded from cash on hand.

The acquisition includes an average operated working interest of 92% and an average net revenue interest of 73% in 15 operated producing wells along with an average non-operated working interest of 6% and average non-operated net revenue interest of 5% in 9 wells currently operated by Empire. The acquisition also includes 2,482 net leasehold acres. Current estimated gross daily production from the assets are approximately 118 barrels of oil.

"We are pleased to successfully close on another accretive transaction - the acquisition of both operated and non-operated oil assets in the prolific and long-life Williston Basin in North Dakota," said Mike Morrisett, President. "Empire has a clear strategy based on evaluating and executing bolt-on transactions that meet similar criteria while keeping debt levels at a conservative level. We remain focused on organic growth while securing additional incremental long-life and low-decline reserves that generate strong cash flow."

"Empire’s purchase of the Landa Madison Unit and the addition of non-operated interests to our existing Landa West Madison Unit completes a mission that our team embarked on starting shortly after our purchase of properties from EnergyQuest II in 2019," added Tommy Pritchard, Chief Executive Officer. "Putting the two units together makes great development sense and we believe this field has the potential to grow and become one of our larger producing assets in North Dakota. Additionally, the Devonian Birdbear Formation holds great promise for Empire as an area that has all the criteria that our team looks for in oil and gas assets. Birdbear has similar attributes to those found on the Eastern flanks of the Williston Basin in Bottineau County and can be easily operated from our current North Dakota infrastructure."

Notes:

(1) Pro forma production estimate based on average six months ended 3/31/2022.
(2) Reserves calculations are based on Company-engineered reserves estimates as of 2/1/2022 at fixed 12/31/2021 SEC prices of $3.64/MMBTU and $66.55/barrel.

About Empire Petroleum

Empire Petroleum Corporation is a publicly traded, Tulsa-based oil and gas company with current producing assets in Texas, Louisiana, North Dakota, Montana and New Mexico. Management is focused on targeted acquisitions of proved developed assets with synergies with its existing portfolio of wells. More information about Empire can be found at www.empirepetrocorp.com.

Report reviews risks, security concerns that accompany serverless architecture and offers industry-wide security best practices for adoption

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#CIO--The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining standards, certifications, and best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment, today released its C-Level Guidance to Securing Serverless Architectures. Written by CSA’s Serverless Working Group, the paper provides CISOs, CIOs, security and risk management professionals, and others involved in administering and managing systems, with a high-level business overview of serverless computing and the accompanying risks and security concerns that come when implementing a secure serverless computing solution.

As businesses work to bring technology value to market faster, serverless platforms are gaining adoption with developers as they provide a more effective way to move to cloud-native services without managing infrastructures such as container clusters or virtual machines. In response to serverless architecture’s growing appeal, the paper examines the business benefits of serverless architectures — such as agility, cost, and speed to market — with a focus on serverless application security and industry-wide best practices and recommendations for implementation.

Despite the security challenges, when used properly, serverless capabilities can provide security benefits when compared to transitional applications, including stateless and ephemeral components, inherent data compartmentalization, and, in some cases, simplified patching.

“Serverless computing offers several business benefits over traditional cloud-based or server-centric infrastructure, however, as with any emerging technology, serverless brings with it a variety of unique cyber risks. The evolution of any technology is inevitably followed by the evolution of threat actors looking to exploit its vulnerabilities. It's critical, therefore, that new technologies are adopted carefully and that proper diligence is undertaken,” said Aradhna Chetal, one of the paper’s co-authors and co-chair of the Serverless Working Group.

The report examines three critical security areas for serverless applications, namely threats that stem from actions taken by:

1. application owners when setting up infrastructure to host an application
2. application owners during the process of deploying their applications
3. the entity providing the service and/or infrastructure to application owners

“Serverless adoption is bound to grow and become mainstream due to the ease of improved developer efficiencies and the reduced management of infrastructure and other dependencies. As the use of serverless computing increases, executives need to be aware of the opportunities and challenges inherent to these technologies,” said Vishwas Manral, one of the paper’s co-authors and co-chair of the Serverless Working Group.

The Serverless Working Group seeks to develop best practices to help organizations looking to run their business with a serverless business model. Individuals interested in becoming involved in future serverless research and initiatives are invited to join the working group.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE:JOBY), a leading developer of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, today announced it will host the 2022 Elevate Summit on October 12th and 13th in Brooklyn, NY. The summit will provide an opportunity for the entire aerial ridesharing ecosystem to come together and discuss progress in the sector, from city officials and land developers to supply chain partners, the investment community and other aircraft manufacturers.

The event builds on the success of previous Elevate Summits, hosted by Uber from 2017 to 2019 before the acquisition of Uber Elevate by Joby in 2020.

“We launched the Elevate Summit five years ago to provide an open forum for this new industry to come together and embrace a shared vision of the future,” said Eric Allison, Head of Product at Joby and formerly Head of Elevate at Uber.

“Since then, the Summit has been established as the keystone event for aerial mobility, laying the foundation for the industry to make the leap from renderings to reality.

“We’re at a key moment in the evolution of our industry. As well as demonstrating record speed, altitude and endurance performance with our pre-production prototype aircraft, several companies, including Joby, have gone public and interest in the promise of this technology has never been higher. It’s the perfect time to come together.”

This momentum was recognized recently in a segment of CBS’ 60 Minutes show, presented by Anderson Cooper, during which Billy Nolen, Acting Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, stated: “Clearly, we’re seeing the emergence of something that’s fantastic … We want to be careful, we want to be measured, but … this is real, and this is happening.”

Held in New York City for the first time, the Summit will take place at Duggal Greenhouse in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard, where attendees will be able to envision a near future in which quiet, electric, emissions-free aerial mobility opens up new transportation possibilities in urban areas.

Further details of the Summit will be released later this summer. Previous editions attracted more than 1,000 attendees and a wide range of speakers including the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, senior FAA and NASA leaders, U.S. Senators and CEOs of Fortune 100 companies.

Those interested in attending the event can sign up for updates at www.elevatesummit.com.

Talk about disruptive technology, the renewable storage enables eliminating carbon emissions from coal, oil and gas plants. These industries will quickly tank and the nimble market participants will become major players in the utility-scale storage supply and distribution.

Vehicles become powered by battery, solar and wind farms are put in place in remote locations and the financial markets move to support electricity storage at utility-scale and energy distribution much as it happens now, across large distances.

Renewable energy systems at scale have become assets, they are bankable, the financial markets can support them, this represents a major market shift.

Batteries are changing in response to the implementation of wind and solar renewable energy systems. Lithium-Ion batteries represent the state of the art now. Solid-state batteries represent the next generation of power storage for vehicles. Nanotechnology permits units to be miniaturized, standalone, and portable. Utility-scale lithium flow batteries have been developed to offer utility-scale advantages. Advantages are evident in power and density: low-power draw and high-energy-density.

They have limitations that are still being addressed by vendors. But they are good enough to be installed and to be bankable. Projects using utility-scale storage can be financed.

The study documents companies whose employees have made an effort to get that company to 100% renewable or headed in that direction. This provides a model for how the market could evolve. According to the principal author of the study, it will take $70 trillion to take the world to 100% renewable.
