THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (the “Company” or “KEI”) (TSX: KEI, OTCQX: KGEIF) is pleased to provide an update on the production exit rate and its latest wells in its Tishomingo field in Oklahoma.


Exit Rate

The Company exited the year with a production rate over 4,000 BOEPD (barrels of oil equivalent per day). This is 1,300 BOEPD, or 48% higher than the Company’s forecasted exit rate released in May of 2022.

Emery 17-2H Well, Brock 9-3H Well & Glenn 16-3H Well

The Emery 17-2H well (98.725% working interest) had a 30-day Initial Production Rate (“IP30”) of 715 BOEPD (560 BOPD) (barrels of oil per day).

The Brock 9-3H well (100% working interest) had an IP30 of 970 BOEPD (820 BOPD).

The Glenn 16-3H well (100% working interest) has averaged about 935 BOEPD (765 BOPD) for twenty-two production days while the well has been flowing back the completion stimulation fluid. The production from this well had been halted for a portion of December due to a packer malfunction, but production had resumed on the well by the end of the month.

Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented, “These latest three wells have far exceeded our expectations and contributed to the Company significantly surpassing its year-end forecasted exit rate. The 4,000 BOEPD exit rate was achieved without the production contribution of one legacy well, which had been reworked in late December. We look forward to drilling our next wells later this quarter, as we have signed a drilling rig contract, where the rig is expected to arrive around March 1st, 2023.

“To put these excellent well results in perspective, the forecasted 30-day proved curve case (IP30) utilized by our third-party engineering firm for our December 31, 2021 reserve report was 388 BOEPD (“Reserve Report IP30”), while the initial 30-day type curve used by the Company’s management for wells in the corridor assumes a 472 BOEPD IP30 rate (“Management IP30”). The Emery 17-2H well IP-30 and the Brock 9-3H well IP-30 are about 1.8 and 2.5 times higher, respectively, than the Reserve Report IP30.

“While three of the wells are early in the production cycle, the five wells we drilled this year with our latest generation completion technique demonstrates some of the best results we have had in this field. This illustrates the consistency that management believes it can continue to achieve.

“Based on the current performance of the Glenn 16-3H well and the expectation that it will perform similarly to our previous core area wells, we anticipate that it will end up with an IP30 rate that is also much higher than the Reserve Report IP30 and above the Management IP30. However, there can be no assurance as to what the well’s IP30 rate or ultimate productivity will be.”

Cautionary Statements

In this news release and the Company’s other public disclosure: The references to barrels of oil equivalent ("Boes") reflect natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves. The type curve utilized by the Company’s management is the average of the 7 Caney wells that were drilled prior to December 31st, 2021, are located in the Corridor (well names can be found on the Company’s Corporate presentation), with lateral lengths normalized to a 4,900 ft lateral length, the other assumptions are the same as in the Company’s December 31, 2021 independent reserves evaluation.

Readers should be aware that references to initial production rates and other short-term production rates are preliminary in nature and are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Readers are referred to the full description of the results of the Company's December 31, 2021 independent reserves evaluation and other oil and gas information contained in its Form 51-101F1 Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information for the year ended December 31, 2021, which the Company filed on SEDAR on March 8, 2022.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this news release constitute "forward-looking information" as such term is used in applicable Canadian securities laws and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of United States securities laws (collectively, “forward looking information”), including statements regarding the timing of and expected results from planned wells development, the anticipated IP30 rate of the Glenn 16-3H well, and management’s expectation regarding achieving consistency in future wells.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV): Technologies and Global Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


In this report, the market has been segmented based on technology, application, end user and geography. The report provides an overview of the global BIPV market and analyses market trends. Using 2021 as the base year, the report provides estimated market data for the forecast period, 2022-2027.

Buildings today are a leading global consumer of energy, and this trend is likely to continue well into the future, primarily driven by economic and population growth. This trend has been increasingly recognized by a multitude of countries worldwide.

Different governments at the federal, state and local levels are increasing their investment in green energy technologies for new and existing buildings as a means of achieving greenhouse gas reduction targets. Consequently, energy efficiency in buildings has evolved into a major factor of the green movement in recent years.

BIPVs make up a small but increasingly noticeable component of the global PV market. Some BIPV applications are emerging as major growth segments that will likely reach gigawatt-scale annual sales within a decade. When annual capacity installations are totaled, the entire BIPV sector is found to already be beyond the gigawatt level of annual capacity.

Unlike the rapid progress made in building PV capacity with utility-scale power plants, no feasible method exists for complete vertical integration with BIPV projects in all existing and planned buildings. For this, companies need partners, affiliates, alliances, visionaries and champions.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant change in consumer behavior and demand, affected purchasing patterns, re-routed supply chains, complicated the dynamics of current market forces and involved significant interventions of governments. Just like any other market, the BIPV market was impacted by the pandemic in 2020.

Two types of construction markets can include BIPV components: new-builds and retrofits. The economic upheaval caused by the COVID-19 pandemic severely depressed new construction in many regions of the world. In developed economies, renovations and retrofits will show more significant opportunities in the coming years since those projects, always necessary, are more likely to be eligible for public financial incentives and potential developer participation.

The silicon used to fabricate solar cells is either crystalline (single-crystal or multi-crystal) or amorphous. Presently, c-Si and multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si) rigid modules are the dominant BIPV products, along with amorphous silicon (a-Si) flexible modules. However, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) technologies are growing rapidly as well.

The use of c-Si and mc-Si will change rapidly-and be used in ways that standard rigid modules cannot. The arrival of CIGS into the market, followed closely by the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and organic PV (OPV) products, will encourage an entirely new method and process of thinking about how to build, clad and color buildings.

A building consists of an outside shell, an inside, sides and a top. Nearly all PV applications involve the integration of the PV component in an exterior building component. An integrated PV product physically replaces a component and then serves both that component's original function and generates electricity. The table below provides an overview of the various regional markets.

Revenue forecasts for this period are segmented based on technology, application, end user and geography. Market values have been estimated based on the total revenue of BIPV providers.

The report covers the market for BIPV with regard to the user base across different regions. It also highlights major trends and challenges that affect the market and the vendor landscape. The report estimates the global market for BIPV in 2021 and provides projections for the expected market size through 2027.

The report also focuses on the major driving trends and challenges that affect the market and the vendor landscape. The report explains the value chain, competitive landscape, and current trends in the BIPV market. It concludes with an analysis of the BIPV vendor landscape and includes detailed profiles of the major players in the global BIPV market.

The following parameters define the scope of the report:

  • The scope of the report includes the global market of commercially deployed BIPV projects.

  • Flexibility to add local, renewable power generation resources, including a commitment to the exploration of joint green hydrogen development in the KCEC service territory
  • Continued goal to increase KCEC’s access to renewable energy; for the contract extension period, it is estimated that 60% of KCEC retail load will be served by renewable resources. As a result, it is expected that KCEC will exceed the Energy Transition Act (ETA) New Mexico statewide renewable energy standard of 50 percent by 2030 target.
  • Guzman Energy continued investment in the KCEC Community Fund

“The value that Guzman Energy provides our membership goes beyond cost savings. They have been consistent supporters of our community and share the KCEC Board vision to develop modern, resilient and locally managed renewable energy assets,” said Luis A. Reyes, Jr., CEO of KCEC. “Guzman Energy is a true partner for energy transition strategy and execution, helping KCEC become one of the cleanest, most cost-effective power distribution cooperatives in America.”

With the contract extension, the Guzman Energy – KCEC wholesale power partnership is anticipated to deliver increased savings reaching $150 million to $170 million over the total lifetime of the contract. Access to and ownership of transmission lines is an important variable in estimating cost savings. In addition to savings, the Guzman Energy – KCEC partnership has delivered KCEC with fixed wholesale power rate stability as well as a spate of local renewable power generation projects including development of 41 MW of distributed solar along with 15 MW of accompanying battery storage.

“The KCEC Board and leadership team are fully committed to delivering on the needs of their local member owners,” said Jeffrey M. Heit, Principal and Managing Director, Guzman Energy. “The Guzman Energy team looks forward to building on the success of the KCEC energy transition to-date. This is a partnership with big ideas and a track record of delivering.”

The Microturbine Powered Combined Heat & Power (CHP) System for the Textile Finishing Company Will Be the First of Its Kind in Germany

The Offshore Systems Are a Repeat Order for an Existing Capstone Customer

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$CGRN #CleanPower--Capstone Green Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CGRN), announced that E-quad Power Systems GmbH, Capstone’s long-time distributor for Belgium, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands, has secured two new orders. The first is an order for a C200S microturbine-based combined heat and power (CHP) system for a leading textile finishing company. The second order is for four 65kW high-pressure natural gas (HPNG), dual mode (DM), high humidity offshore systems for an offshore gas production company with assets in the North Sea that is a loyal Capstone customer.


The C200S microturbine-based CHP system is for leading textile finishing company Gerhard van Clewe GmbH & Co.KG, based in Hamminkeln, Germany. The system is expected to be commissioned in May 2023 and will be fueled by high-pressure natural gas. The C200S will provide up to 200kW of electricity to the plant, while the exhaust produced by the microturbine will be captured for use in the material drying process as well as the production of warm water for the facility.

The company first considered microturbine technology due to rising electricity costs compared to the low cost of natural gas. As a company with a sustainability mission, they also valued the high efficiency and emissions reduction that a CHP system delivers.

“Between the cost savings and environmental benefits, we are especially excited to be a development partner in this first-of-its-kind application,” said Ansgar van Clewe, Principle at Gerhard van Clewe. “Given the technology’s ready availability and Capstone’s good reputation in the space, we felt comfortable working with their distributor E-quad Power Systems.”

The four C65 offshore systems will be deployed with an existing Capstone offshore gas exploration customer who is an advocate for sustainable energy sources. They strongly believe that until there are sufficient sustainable alternatives available, the use of natural gas is an effective method to reduce CO2 output immediately. Natural gas can therefore provide an optimal contribution towards providing climate neutral energy.

“The Capstone Green Energy microturbine-based CHP systems have proven time and again to be tremendously beneficial across the manufacturing space, providing reliable, highly efficient power, but also fulfilling facility heating, drying and cooling needs, which has the added benefit of lowering facility emissions,” said Darren Jamison, Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Green Energy.

“Capstone's green energy solutions align perfectly with the needs of the oil and gas industry and are currently used in all phases of production, including upstream, midstream, and downstream operations in both onshore and offshore applications. Capstone's technology provides the low operational cost, high availability, and high-reliability global energy producers need, particularly in a world where energy prices are not likely to be dropping any time soon,” concluded Jamison.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ABS--We enter 2023 amid a challenging and uncertain economic backdrop. Thanks in large part to aggressive federal stimulus measures during the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the U.S. economy had been humming along over the 18 months leading up to the spring of 2022 when the first quarterly decline in real GDP was reported following six consecutive quarters of growth. The Federal Reserve reversed course and pulled back from its accommodative monetary policy measures, with the first of seven successive interest rate increases occurring in March 2022. Nonetheless, DBRS Morningstar has a stable credit rating outlook across U.S. asset-backed securities (ABS).


  • DBRS Morningstar expects to see some deterioration in underlying consumer ABS collateral performance amid this inflationary environment with rising costs of goods, particularly across subprime auto and consumer loans, but we believe structural mechanisms such as deleveraging and credit enhancement will help mitigate this expected decline in collateral performance.
  • Across consumer ABS, we have stable rating outlooks for the auto loan, credit card receivable, consumer loan, residential property assessed clean energy (R-PACE), Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) student loan, private student loan, refinanced (Refi) student loan, and timeshare sectors.
  • On the commercial side of things, potential ongoing supply chain issues and inflationary pressures are among the chief concerns, with certain sectors likely to be more vulnerable to a recessionary environment, including transportation, housing, and retail-oriented industries. Meanwhile, other sectors, such as agricultural finance, litigation finance, structured settlement, and venture debt, are either more countercyclical or are less affected by broader macroeconomic conditions.
  • Across commercial ABS, we have stable rating outlooks on the agricultural finance, auto fleet lease, aviation, cell tower, equipment lease, film/broadcasting royalty, litigation finance, marine container, commercial PACE (C-PACE), rental car, small business, structured settlement, venture debt, and whole business sectors.

“While consumers have displayed remarkable resiliency throughout the pandemic, much of that strength has been heavily supported by federal stimulus measures, which have since expired,” said Stephanie Mah, Senior Vice President, Structured Finance Research. “The current labor market remains strong, with subdued unemployment levels and rising wages. However, job growth prospects are expected to deteriorate, albeit with a lag, in response to rising interest rates, and wages will be further pressured by inflation.”

Report highlights Convergent’s plans to build an energy landscape that is less expensive, more reliable, and increasingly sustainable

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Convergent Energy and Power (Convergent), a leading provider of energy storage solutions in North America, today announced the publication of its 2022 Sustainability and Impact Report. The report details Convergent’s strong progress toward advancing the clean energy transition through its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) work and its goals for 2023—the first year in history with a federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for stand-alone energy storage following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).


“Being a good corporate citizen is core to Convergent’s identity. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made and excited for the path we have charted in our 2022 Sustainability and Impact Report,” said Johannes Rittershausen, Convergent’s CEO. “This report makes clear our commitment to continuous improvement and leadership in ESG, positioning Convergent as a strong partner for businesses and utilities that prioritize mitigating the climate crisis, community engagement, safety, ethical governance, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Energy storage is the linchpin of the clean energy transition and we are proud to accelerate this transition together with our customers.”

Highlights of the 2022 Sustainability and Impact Report include:

  • Convergent improved its ESG risk rating over 2021, earning a coveted “low risk” score from Sustainalytics, a Morningstar company and a leading independent ESG corporate governance research, ratings, and analytics firm.
  • As of February 2022, Sustainalytics rated Convergent as the ninth lowest risk out of the 676 companies they rated within the utilities sector.
  • Over 50% of the energy storage systems Convergent originated in the past 24 months include solar PV.
  • Convergent’s systems saved nearly 10,000 metric tons of CO2 in 2022, a number expected to increase with the increasing number of solar-plus-storage systems the company is developing.
  • In 2023, Convergent will build upon its community engagement efforts, which already include evaluating sites for climate-related risks and hiring local construction teams whenever possible.

In addition to its ESG commitments, Convergent has made significant progress in developing the energy storage solutions that create a more reliable, economical, and renewable-powered electric grid. The company has more than 500 MW/800 MWh of storage and solar-plus-storage capacity operating or under development, with more than $500M invested in projects in operation or allocated to projects under development.

“As we begin 2023, which is sure to be a landmark year for the future of energy, I am incredibly confident in our business and believe it is optimally positioned to meet this moment,” said Frank Genova, Chief Operating and Financial Officer. “We now have the regulatory certainty that is needed for the private sector to invest more heavily in the clean energy transition and Convergent will continue to hold a leadership role in the future of energy.”

  • Hydrogen to be produced from green waste and food waste with non-combustion reforming process
  • Richmond, Calif., production facility to serve local hydrogen transportation fuel market, replacing conventional fuels
  • Commercial operations targeted for Q1 2024

RICHMOND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Raven SR Inc. (Raven SR), a renewable fuels company, Chevron New Energies, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., and Hyzon Motors Inc. (NASDAQ: HYZN) today announced they are collaborating to commercialize operations of a green waste-to-hydrogen production facility in Richmond intended to supply hydrogen fuel to transportation markets in Northern California.


The facility will be owned by a newly formed company, Raven SR S1 LLC (Raven SR S1). Raven SR will be the operator of the facility, which is targeted to come online in the first quarter of 2024. Chevron holds a 50% equity stake in Raven SR 1. Raven SR holds a 30% stake and Hyzon owns the remaining 20%.

To produce the hydrogen, the project is expected to divert up to 99 wet tons of green and food waste per day from Republic Services’ West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill into its non-combustion Steam/CO2 Reforming process, producing up to 2,400 metric-tons per year of renewable hydrogen. Diversion of this organic waste will help fulfill SB 1383 mandates, and will potentially avoid up to 7,200 metric-tons per year of CO2 emissions from the landfill. In addition, Raven’s technology uses no fresh water, an important element given drought risks in California, and uses less electricity to power its units than competing processes. The project is expected to produce at least 60% of its own electricity by upgrading the currently permitted and zoned landfill gas electric generators at the landfill, further reducing both the current air emissions and the need for grid power for its non-combustion process.

Chevron plans to market its share of the hydrogen in Bay Area and Northern California fueling stations, enabling the energy transition to zero emission vehicles. Hyzon, a global supplier of fuel cell electric commercial vehicles, plans to provide refueling for hydrogen fuel cell trucks at a hydrogen hub in Richmond.

"Our strategic partners’ commitment to the first non-combustion Steam/CO2 facility in the world will help drive our commercial operations in Richmond and accelerate similar facilities globally," said Matt Murdock, CEO of Raven. “This facility will be the first hydrogen production plant in the world to reduce greenhouse gases, including critically important short-lived climate pollutants, through its process and its product. By removing waste from the landfill, it will help reduce methane emissions. Not only will the greater Richmond community benefit from reduced emissions, investments, and jobs, it will also see economic benefits as local gas stations have a consistent supply of clean, zero-carbon hydrogen fuel for fuel cell vehicles. We are grateful to work with partners who share our mission to make cleaner fuel options available as soon as possible.”

Ahead of teaming with Raven SR on the Raven SR S1 facility, Chevron and Hyzon were among Raven SR’s initial strategic investors, along with ITOCHU, Ascent Hydrogen Fund and Samsung Ventures.

“We are excited about this collaboration and our expanded commitment to Raven and its waste-to-hydrogen technology,” said Austin Knight, vice president of Hydrogen for Chevron New Energies. “Not only are we positioned to commercialize a first-of-its-kind lower carbon hydrogen project, we are working to reduce emissions in a community in which we have a long and proud history. With a relatively short lead time, we will be able to further develop the hydrogen ecosystem in the region.”

The Raven SR technology is a non-combustion thermal, chemical reductive process that converts organic waste and landfill gas to hydrogen and Fischer-Tropsch synthetic fuels. Unlike other hydrogen production technologies, its Steam/CO2 Reformation does not require fresh water as a feedstock and uses less than half the energy of electrolysis. The process is more efficient than conventional hydrogen production and can deliver fuel with low to negative carbon intensity. Additionally, Raven SR’s goal is to generate as much of its own power onsite as possible to reduce reliance on, and/or be independent of the grid. Its modular design provides a scalable means to locally produce renewable hydrogen and synthetic liquid fuels from local waste.

“The Richmond hub enables a local, renewable hydrogen ecosystem by aligning hydrogen production, refueling infrastructure and vehicle availability geographically and technologically. This alignment is expected to reduce total costs to fleet operators, accelerating the transition to zero-emissions vehicles and global decarbonization,” said Parker Meeks, Hyzon president and interim CEO.

“This marks a significant step in demonstrating the commercial viability of a localized, low-to-negative carbon intensity hydrogen economy,” he added. “Through Hyzon’s partnership with Raven, hydrogen supply can be synchronized with the demand for hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. Raven’s deployment of scalable hydrogen production facilities allows supply and demand to grow together as clean hydrogen for transport continues to gain market and regulatory support.”

About Raven SR

Raven SR, headquartered in Wyoming, transforms biomass, mixed municipal solid waste, bio-solids, sewage, medical waste, and natural or biogas into renewable fuels. Using its proprietary, non-combustion, non-catalytic “Steam/CO2 Reformation” technology, Raven SR dependably produces a hydrogen-rich syngas regardless of feedstock utilized. Raven SR, led by co-founders Matt Murdock and Matt Scanlon, is committed to adding value to local resources and communities while responsibly reducing greenhouse gases and achieving a low carbon economy. By using modular systems and producing low air emissions, their systems can be located closer to customers and feedstock, creating local fuel from local waste for local mobility.

DOHA, Qatar--(BUSINESS WIRE)--QatarEnergy and Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC announced today they will proceed on construction of a $6 billion integrated polymers complex in Ras Laffan Industrial City, Qatar.



An agreement marking the positive final investment decision for the project was signed by His Excellency Mr. Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the President and CEO of QatarEnergy, and by Bruce Chinn, President and CEO of Chevron Phillips Chemical, at a ceremony in Doha. The companies created a joint venture, Ras Laffan Petrochemicals, in which QatarEnergy owns a 70% equity share and Chevron Phillips Chemical owns 30%.

The 435-acre project site will include an ethane cracker with a capacity of 2080 KTA of ethylene, making it the largest ethane cracker in the Middle East and one of the largest in the world. It will also include two high-density polyethylene derivative units with a total capacity of 1680 KTA.

Chevron Phillips Chemical will provide project management services. Construction began with early works at the site in June 2022, and startup is expected in late 2026. The engineering, procurement and construction of the ethane cracker will be executed by a joint venture between Samsung Engineering CO., Ltd. and CTCI Corporation. Tecnimont S.p.A. will execute engineering, procurement and construction for the polyethylene units.

The polyethylene units will use Chevron Phillips Chemical’s MarTech™ loop slurry process to produce high-density polyethylene, which will primarily be exported from the state of Qatar. Polyethylene is used in the production of durable goods like pipe for natural gas and water delivery and recreational products such as kayaks and coolers. It is also used in packaging applications to protect and preserve food and keep medical supplies sterile.

The facility will be constructed with modern, energy-saving technology and use ethane for feedstock, which along with other measures, is expected to result in lower greenhouse gas emissions than similar global facilities.

“At Chevron Phillips Chemical, we continue to grow our global asset base where there is access to reliable, affordable feedstock. This investment will help meet global demand for polyethylene products,” Chinn said. “We are excited to expand on the long and successful history we have with QatarEnergy to safely construct and operate world-scale facilities.”

Attending the signing ceremony were senior executives from QatarEnergy, Chevron Phillips Chemical and its owner companies, Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and Phillips 66.

Chevron Phillips Chemical and QatarEnergy operate joint ventures in Qatar and recently announced construction of a similar integrated polymers facility in Orange, Texas.
