Designed to provide customers with end-to-end service, Keep Clean Vendors enable a holistic approach to operations looking to maximize returns on investments in lubricant programs.

SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chevron Products Company, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., today announced the launch of the Keep Clean Preferred Vendor Program to provide customers with the tools and services to make the most of their lubricants.

The Chevron Keep Clean Preferred Vendor Program recommends reputable vendors who offer tools to enhance lubricant-reliant operations for small, medium, and large enterprises after products are purchased. From storage and handling, to sampling tools for fluid analysis, Keep Clean Vendors aid organizations with their maintenance and lubrication needs—so these organizations can maximize performance and minimize costly downtime.

Extending Chevron’s customer-centric approach to lubrication, vendors in the Keep Clean Preferred Vendor Program are selected based off Chevron’s stringent requirements for quality suppliers who can provide the resources and knowledge to keep lubricants clean once delivered and in-service.

“As an established industry leader in clean lubricants, Chevron developed the Keep Clean Preferred Vendor Program as part of our commitment to the success of our customers’ reliability maintenance programs from start to finish,” says Rebecca Zwetzig, America’s ISOCLEAN Program Manager. “With the help of vendors who are also dedicated to customer excellence, we have developed a comprehensive solution to help organizations reach their increasingly stringent performance and uptime goals.”

“Lubrication is the lifeblood of machinery and vehicles for operations, and maintaining clean lubricants is of the utmost importance,” says Jason Bendon, Chief Commercial Officer of Des-Case, a Chevron Keep Clean Preferred vendor. “For more than 30 years, Des-Case products have extended the life of industrial lubricants by preventing, detecting, and removing lubricant moisture and contaminants, and we are incredibly proud to partner with Chevron as a resource for their customers.”

A quality lubrication program requires a proactive, holistic approach ranging from how lubricants are purchased, stored, and handled throughout a facility. By starting clean with Chevron ISOCLEAN® Certified Lubricants, monitoring with the LubeWatch® Fluid Analysis Program, and staying clean with the Keep Clean Preferred Vendor Program, organizations can increase uptime and extend component life.

“Fluid sampling is a vital component to any operation, providing managers with the monitoring and knowledge necessary to keep assets up and running longer,” says Bernie Hall, General Manager of Chevron Keep Clean Preferred vendor, Checkfluid. “As Chevron’s ISOCLEAN preferred vendor for fluid sampling products, we at Checkfluid look forward to bringing our more than 20 years of experience to elevate Chevron customers’ lubrication programs to make sampling easier, more reliable, and most cost-effective.”

As the Keep Clean Preferred Vendor Program grows and develops, Chevron plans to expand the program to additional services and service providers.

• Verified Carbon Offset Credits Fight Climate Change at No Cost to Clients
• Clients Can Opt in at a Higher Level, Offsetting All Emissions That Cause Climate Change
• FXAIR’s Program Is Managed by 4AIR, Only Rating System Focused on Private Aviation Sustainability

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FXAIR, the innovative premium on-demand charter provider, offset 40,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) in 2021 on behalf of its clients through the use of carbon offset credits. Under the program operated by 4AIR, FXAIR purchases carbon offset credits that finance projects which negate the impact on the climate of the CO2 emissions created by FXAIR charter flights at no cost to clients. FXAIR clients also can voluntarily participate in additional programs that offset not just CO2 but also other climate-change pollutants.

“Our premium charter clients understand the challenges posed by climate change and want to do their part in supporting environmental sustainability,” said FXAIR President Gregg Slow. “The 4AIR program gives us a simple, efficient way to offset the emissions produced by jet aircraft and, at the same time, generate real societal benefits. We have been gratified by the enthusiastic response from our clients.”

During 2021, FXAIR offset all CO2 emissions on all flights chartered on behalf of its clients; unlike other North American charter providers, it did so at no cost to clients. With the guidance of sustainability experts, the offsets paid for by FXAIR supported projects that had an immediate and direct impact on climate improvement, including deforestation prevention, clean wind-generated electricity in the upper Midwest United States and wind turbine and other renewable energy projects.

The 4AIR rating framework is aligned with industrywide carbon reduction goals and is fully consistent with international standards. The framework offers various levels, each with specific, science-based goals, independently verified results and progressively greater impacts on sustainability. 4AIR manages the offsets, standards, verification, validation and retirement of carbon credits through the most respected and international leading bodies that issue and register credits.

FXAIR is committed to the 4AIR Bronze level, under which its charter flight operations are carbon-neutral by offsetting all of their CO2 emissions with verified carbon offset credits. In addition, some FXAIR clients voluntarily increased their participation in 4AIR programs to offset all emissions that affect the climate, including non-carbon emissions such as soot, water vapor and contrails.

“Unique among North American charter providers, we went all in on automatically offsetting every flight we arrange at no additional cost to our clients,” added Slow. “In this case we are protecting not only our clients as ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards are increasingly scrutinized, but most importantly, are undertaking meaningful action to curb private jet travel’s impact on climate change. We see this as another example of the refinement premium charter by FXAIR provides over other charter offerings.”

About FXAIR

FXAIR is the only charter provider offering on-demand charter access to premium light cabin, mid cabin, super mid cabin, large cabin and ultra-long range aircraft including the Challenger 300 and Global Express. FXAIR’s Aviator Program offers clients preferred access to these aircraft, even on peak travel days, along with a host of other benefits. The FXAIR network of aircraft comes from providers who meet the most stringent safety standards in the private aviation industry, standards that often exceed the FAA’s regulations. FXAIR upholds a 4Air Bronze Sustainable Rating. FXAIR is headquartered in New York, New York, and is a member of the Directional Aviation family of companies.

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cold Bore Technology Inc. (“Cold Bore”), the leader in frac completions automation and platform technology, announced today that it has been recognized by notable innovation advisory firm, Darcy Partners, as one of the Top 10 Technologies from 2021 in Drilling and Completions.

With a rich and proprietary dataset on its Darcy Connect platform, collating information from over 10,000 energy company users, Darcy Partners is able to uniquely track which innovators saw the most activity on the platform in the form of views, clicks, likes, follows, meetings scheduled, etc. Combined with analysis from its Research Team about technology developments and market traction, it selects the Top 10 Innovators from 2021 in each of its coverage channels.

Cold Bore was recognized as a breakout performer in the Drilling and Completions sector in a year that saw it drive record deployments of its SmartPAD completions platform and control system, record revenues and almost double the size of its workforce both in Canada and the United States.

In a statement released on LinkedIn, Darcy Partners remarked that “2021 was characterized by a recovery in activity in both Drilling and Completions from the lows of 2020, a trend we expect to see continue into 2022.” It went on to say that its selection of the Top 10 Innovators from 2021 in each of its coverage channels is its way of saying: "these are the innovators that your peers are most interested in, so you should definitely go and learn more about them.”

“Receiving this accolade and endorsement as a top solution in high demand by real operators, further validates the growth we’re experiencing both in the market and within Cold Bore as a company,” said Brett Chell, CEO at Cold Bore. “The drive towards fully automated completions is stronger than it’s ever been and we’re thrilled to be partnering with so many of the largest and most progressive operators across North America to lead the charge."

Cold Bore is changing the face of frac with its centralized digital platform called SmartPAD. SmartPAD is an end-to-end, fully integrated “Plug and Play” completions platform. Acting as a digitised control centre, SmartPAD automatically tracks an independent and complete multiservice timestamp for the entire fracing operation. Second by second the SmartPAD standardizes the entirety of data collection, visualization and communication between services and the operator. This is the universal connection point to end all data and protocol variability struggles with a universal approach that makes formatting every pad as easy as “Plug and Play.”

Majority Allocated to World Class Guyana Developments and Bakken Three Rig Program

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES) today announced a 2022 Exploration & Production capital and exploratory budget of $2.6 billion, of which approximately 80% will be allocated to Guyana and the Bakken.

Net production is forecast to average between 330,000 and 340,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2022, excluding Libya. Bakken net production is forecast to average between 165,000 and 170,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2022.

“Our capital program reflects our continued discipline in investing in high return, low cost opportunities within our portfolio,” CEO John Hess said. “The majority of our 2022 budget is allocated to Guyana, which is positioned to be one of the highest margin, lowest carbon intensity oil developments in the world, and to the Bakken, our largest operated asset where we have a robust inventory of high return future drilling locations.”

Chief Operating Officer Greg Hill said: “In the Bakken, we plan to operate a three rig program, which will enable us to generate significant free cash flow, lower our unit cash costs and further optimize our infrastructure. In Guyana, our focus in 2022 will be on advancing our high value oil developments on the Stabroek Block, which have a Brent breakeven oil price of between $25 and $35 per barrel, and continuing our active exploration and appraisal program.”

The $2.6 billion budget is allocated as follows: $1,150 million (44%) for production, $1,000 million (39%) for offshore Guyana developments and $450 million (17%) for exploration and appraisal activities.

Production

• $790 million to fund a three rig program in the Bakken. The company expects to drill approximately 90 gross operated wells and to bring online approximately 85 wells in 2022. Funds are also included for investment in nonoperated wells.
• $270 million for production activities at North Malay Basin (Hess 50% and operator) offshore Peninsular Malaysia and the Malaysia/Thailand Joint Development Area (Hess 50%) in the Gulf of Thailand. Funds are included for drilling and facilities and also for work that was previously deferred due to COVID-19 and low commodity prices.
• $90 million for production activities in the Gulf of Mexico, including drilling one tieback well at the Llano Field (Hess 50%) and seismic acquisition and processing.

Developments

• $25 million associated with the Liza Phase 1 development on the Stabroek Block (Hess 30%), where production optimization work is planned in the first quarter of 2022.
• $190 million for the Liza Phase 2 development with a capacity of approximately 220,000 gross barrels of oil per day, and first production expected in the first quarter of 2022.
• $400 million for the Payara development with a capacity of approximately 220,000 gross barrels of oil per day, and first production expected in 2024.
• $210 million for the Yellowtail development with a capacity of approximately 250,000 gross barrels of oil per day, and first production expected in 2025.
• $175 million primarily for front end engineering and design work for future development phases on the Stabroek Block.

Exploration and Appraisal

• $450 million to drill approximately 12 exploration and appraisal wells on the Stabroek Block in Guyana (Hess 30%), the Huron-1 well in the Green Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico (Hess 40%) and the Zanderij-1 well on Block 42 in Suriname (Hess 33%).

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Bio-Alcohols Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2021-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global bio-alcohols market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 6% during 2021-2026.

Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, the analyst is continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use industries. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

Bio-alcohols are sustainable organic chemicals with important physiological properties that are produced using biomass. They are volatile, combustible and have low viscosity and toxicity with a high energy density.

Although several bio-alcohols are available in the market, bioethanol is gaining the most traction as a clean, renewable energy source as it is produced through the fermentation of microorganisms and enzymes with sugars, starches or cellulose. At present, bio-alcohols are utilized to manufacture textiles, paints, tarnishes, glues, diluents and perfumes worldwide.

Biomass is a biodegradable, sustainable, economical and renewable resource that offers various environmental benefits. This, in confluence with the growing environmental consciousness, is resulting in the increasing utilization of bio-alcohols in the production of biofuels.

Moreover, due to the rising trend of organic and natural products, several key players are using bio-alcohols in the manufacturing of cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. Apart from this, rapid urbanization, especially in developing economies, inflating crude oil prices, stringent emission regulations imposed by the governments of various countries and escalating energy consumption are some of the other factors propelling the market growth.

Furthermore, rising disposable incomes, and the burgeoning automotive industry, are positively influencing the sales of sports cars, which, in turn, is contributing to the market growth.

Besides this, due to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), governments of several countries, along with international organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO), are encouraging hand sanitization practices, which has resulted in the surging demand for hand sanitizers. These sanitizers have significant percentages of bioethanol, which is impelling the market growth.
