DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Outrigger Energy II LLC (“Outrigger”) announced today that it has completed the sale of its midstream system in Weld County, Colorado to Summit Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE:SMLP) (“Summit”). Outrigger’s DJ Basin system includes a 60 MMcfd cryogenic natural gas processing plant with product deliveries to the Cheyenne Plains gas pipeline and DCP’s natural gas liquids (“NGL”) system, approximately 70 miles of low-pressure natural gas gathering pipelines, approximately 90 miles of high-pressure natural gas gathering pipelines, 12,800 horsepower of field and plant compression and approximately 30 miles of crude oil gathering pipelines with delivery to the Pony Express Pipeline. Outrigger’s DJ system is anchored by long-term, fee-based contracts and approximately 310,000 dedicated acres from leading basin operators.


Dave Keanini, Outrigger’s President & CEO, stated, “The robust midstream system we developed in the DJ Basin proved attractive to potential purchasers and this transaction with Summit delivers a positive outcome for our customers, employees, and investors. Further, the system’s extensive high-pressure gas gathering footprint provides an excellent platform for interconnectivity with multiple midstream systems in the DJ Basin, including Summit’s system. We have confidence that Summit’s experienced team will provide excellent service to the producer community and continued efficient consolidation and operation of midstream assets in the basin.”

Williston Basin Business Update

With the sale of its DJ Basin system, Outrigger will be exclusively focused on the continued development of its world class Williston Basin system located in Williams and Mountrail Counties, North Dakota. The system is ideally located to service growing volumes and has exposure to several thousand drilling locations across its footprint. Outrigger’s 250 MMcfd Bill Sanderson cryogenic gas processing plant located west of Williston, ND commenced permanent operation in June and is maintaining near 100% runtime. The high efficiency plant features ethane recovery and rejection capabilities with direct market access to the Northern Border Pipeline system for residue gas and the ONEOK NGL pipeline system for natural gas liquids. Outrigger’s plant facilities are easily expandable with additional processing capacity of up to 200 MMcfd for a total capacity of 450 MMcfd. In early 2022, Outrigger extended its 24- and 20-inch diameter, high pressure, rich gas pipeline from Williams County further east into Mountrail County to connect additional customers. The pipeline now extends over one hundred miles, has a capacity of approximately 450 MMcfd and serves multiple customers at various receipt points.

Mr. Keanini added, “We are seeing our core customers increase gas deliveries to our system as we enter 2023 and expect volumes to steadily grow throughout the year. Our asset is exceptionally positioned to provide reliable service to upstream as well as other midstream operators in the basin and we’ve begun scoping the next processing expansion at the Sanderson plant. As producers continue to increase their gas volumes through the drill bit and as gas-to-oil ratios (GORs) increase, our system will provide Williston Basin operators dependable infrastructure to capture their gas and move their products.”

About Outrigger Energy II

Outrigger Energy II is an independent, full-service midstream energy company that owns and operates one of the largest privately-held natural gas gathering and processing system in the Williston Basin of North Dakota. In addition to providing reliable and value-add services to its customers, Outrigger’s core values include promoting safety across all aspects of the company and environment stewardship within its communities.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On November 29, 2022, OceanTech Acquisitions I Corp. (the “Company” or “OceanTech”) (Nasdaq: OTEC/OTECU/OTECW), a special purpose acquisition company, announced that its stockholders have approved an extension of the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination from December 2, 2022 to June 2, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors) (the “Extension”) at the special meeting of stockholders held on November 29, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”). The Extension provides the Company with additional time to complete the previously announced proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) with Majic Wheels Corp., a Wyoming corporation.


The Company has deposited an amount equal to $0.067 per share for each public share or $125,000 (the “Extension Payment”) into the Company’s trust account for its public stockholders (the “Trust Account”), which enables the Company to further extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from December 2, 2022, to January 2, 2023. This extension is the first of up to six monthly extensions permitted under the Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation approved by our stockholders at the Special Meeting. The Company previously extended the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination from June 2, 2022, to December 2, 2022.

Stockholders holding 8,477,497 shares of common stock of OceanTech exercised their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately 87,541,321.66 (approximately $10.32 per share) will be removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following the redemption, the Company’s remaining shares of common stock outstanding were 1,848,503. OceanTech has deposited into the Trust Account $125,000 for the initial extension period (commencing December 3, 2022, and ending January 2, 2022).

The Company also made an amendment to the Company’s investment management trust agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), dated as of May 27, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, allowing the Company to extend the business combination period from December 2, 2022, to June 2, 2023, and updating certain defined terms in the Trust Agreement.

Business Combination

On November 15, 2022, OceanTech entered into a definitive business combination agreement pursuant to which it would acquire Majic Wheels Corp., a Wyoming corporation (the “Target”). Upon the closing of the business combination, which is expected in the first quarter of 2023, the combined company will be named Majic Corp. Majic Corp. expects to remain listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “MJWL” after the consummation of the Business Combination.

About OceanTech Acquisitions I Corp.

OceanTech is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on February 3, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future financial and operating results, our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services; and other statements identified by words such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “outlook” or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Target’s industry and market sizes, future opportunities for Target and Company, Target’s estimated future results and the proposed business combination between Company and Target, including the implied enterprise value, the expected transaction and ownership structure and the likelihood, timing and ability of the parties to successfully consummate the proposed transaction.

Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in the reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: inability to meet the closing conditions to the business combination, including the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; the inability to complete the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement due to the failure to obtain approval of Company’s shareholders, the failure to achieve the minimum amount of cash available following any redemptions by Company shareholders, redemptions exceeding a maximum threshold or the failure to meet The Nasdaq Stock Market’s initial listing standards in connection with the consummation of the contemplated transactions; costs related to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; a delay or failure to realize the expected benefits from the proposed transaction; risks related to disruption of management’s time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction; changes in the cryptocurrency and digital asset markets in which Target provides insurance and infrastructure offering services, including with respect to its competitive landscape, technology evolution or regulatory changes; changes in domestic and global general economic conditions, risk that Target may not be able to execute its growth strategies, including providing software solutions for the broad blockchain technology, and identifying, acquiring, and integrating acquisitions; risks related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and response; risk that Target may not be able to develop and maintain effective internal controls; and other risks and uncertainties indicated in Company’s final prospectus, dated May 27, 2021, for its initial public offering, and the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed business combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in Company’s other filings with the SEC. Company and Target caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive.

Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially, and potentially adversely, from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those forward-looking statements are based. There can be no assurance that the data contained herein is reflective of future performance to any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance as projected financial information and other information are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. All information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof in the case of information about Company and Target or the date of such information in the case of information from persons other than Company or Target, and we disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this communication.

NuScale and industry participants will assess new concepts for use in small modular reactor power plants

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NuScale Power, LLC (NuScale) along with Shell Global Solutions (Shell) and industry participants will develop and assess a concept for an economically optimized Integrated Energy System (IES) for hydrogen production using electricity and process heat from a NuScale VOYGR™ small modular reactor (SMR) power plant. The project entitled, “Development and Demonstration of a Concept for an Economically Optimized IES,” will be completed in two phases. Additional research participants include Idaho National Laboratory, Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS), Fuel Cell Energy, FPoliSolutions, and GSE Solutions.


NuScale’s flexible SMR technology holds the potential to balance and stabilize power grids dominated by renewable energies through hydrogen production. Energy markets present reliability concerns at times when energy demand is high and renewable energy production is low. In these markets, hydrogen would be used as an end-product or as a stored energy source to be processed through a Reversible Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (RSOFC) for electricity generation.

Hydrogen has been identified as a pathway for global decarbonization and NuScale’s SMR technology complements this goal through low carbon hydrogen production,” said John Hopkins, NuScale Power President and Chief Executive Officer.

A NuScale control room simulator will be modified to evaluate the dynamics of the IES and will include models for the Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC) system for hydrogen production, in addition to a RSOFC for electricity production. The research will consider the number of NuScale Power Modules™ needed for use in SOEC hydrogen production and the quantity of hydrogen stored for subsequent electricity production. Further, local economic factors from the UAMPS Carbon Free Power Project will be assessed, such as the impact in the Western Energy Imbalance Market, resource adequacy programs, and other local market factors to be defined.

We are pleased to join this collaboration, which is in line with our efforts to explore technologies that have the potential to enable decarbonization and support the energy transition,” said Dirk Smit, Vice President of Research Strategy at Shell.

This project breathes new life into land that is no longer viable for agriculture while providing alternate sources of income to rural landowners within Enviva’s operating footprint

BETHESDA, Md. & THE PLAINS, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Afforestation--Enviva (NYSE: EVA), the world’s leading producer of sustainably sourced woody biomass, and GreenTrees, the market leader in reforestation and carbon removal in the U.S., today announced a nine-year partnership agreement that will contribute towards Enviva’s net-zero goals for its Scope 1 carbon footprint, equating to approximately 10,000 metric tons of carbon removal credits annually, or 90,000 metric tons throughout the duration of the contract.


“We are excited to partner with GreenTrees to help minimize our net carbon emissions and implement local solutions to meet net-zero goals,” said Thomas Meth, President and CEO of Enviva. “As part of the forest products industry, it is important that we utilize a forest-based offset. While Enviva’s long-term focus is to reduce our Scope 1 emissions through energy-efficient projects and substitution of fossil fuels, this partnership will help reduce our net emissions in the short term and positively impact the health of the forests in Enviva’s operating footprint.”

The GreenTrees afforestation project with Enviva will take place in the rural U.S. Southeast, on land formerly used for agriculture but has been deemed no longer suitable for farming and crop growth due to soil erosion and water damage. The afforestation of this land will not compete with lands used for agricultural and food sources, but will revitalize the land and serve as permanent carbon removal. This partnership will also provide a new source of income for rural landowners in the GreenTrees program who are no longer able to use the land for agriculture.

“It’s an honor to partner with Enviva and work alongside a company on their path to net zero,” said Chandler Van Voorhis, co-founder and managing partner of GreenTrees. “We are equally thrilled that in addition to the environmental impact of reducing carbon emissions and restoring previously overworked land to its natural beauty, the landowners GreenTrees partners with will now have another sustainable source of income for their property.”

The path to achieving a net-zero future requires many tools, including third-party verified investments in reforestation and land equity. This partnership contributes to Enviva's net-zero greenhouse gas emissions commitment and represents a ∼14% reduction of Enviva's 2021 Scope 1 footprint. Likewise, GreenTrees’ nature-based carbon removal credits align well with Enviva’s strict sustainability standards. Enviva is focused on high-quality carbon credit projects that promote afforestation and reforestation in the company’s region of operations, as well as projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere and enhance local carbon stocks.

All carbon credits in GreenTrees’ projects undergo a rigorous verification process by the American Carbon Registry. GreenTrees’ verified carbon credits are widely accepted today by major environmental markets, and Fortune 500 companies trust them to meet sustainability goals and mitigate climate change. In winter 2022/2023, GreenTrees’ credits will be the first reforestation credits to be auctioned by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).

Files Class VI Permit Application Related to Carbon Sequestration Project

DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--REX American Resources Corporation (NYSE: REX) (“REX” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2022 third quarter (“Q3 ‘22”) ended October 31, 2022. REX management will host a conference call and webcast today at 11:00 a.m. ET.


Conference Call:

212/231-2910

Webcast / Replay URL:

The webcast will be available for replay for 30 days.

REX American Resources’ Q3 ‘22 results principally reflect its interests in six ethanol production facilities. The One Earth Energy, LLC (“One Earth”) and NuGen Energy, LLC (“NuGen”) ethanol production facilities are consolidated, while the four other ethanol plants are reported as equity in income of unconsolidated ethanol affiliates. The Company reports results for its ethanol and by-products component as continuing operations and beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 its refined coal component as discontinued operations as operations have now ceased.

REX’s Q3 ‘22 net sales and revenue were $220.3 million, compared with $203.1 million in Q3 ‘21. The year-over-year net sales and revenue increase primarily reflects higher pricing for ethanol, dried distillers grains, non-food grade corn oil and modified distillers grains. Q3 ‘22 gross profit for the Company’s continuing operations decreased to $11.3 million, compared with $25.2 million in Q3 ‘21 as the higher net sales and revenue were offset by significant increases in corn and natural gas prices. This led to Q3 ‘22 income before income taxes and non-controlling interests of $6.1 million, compared with $19.2 million in the comparable year ago period.

Net income attributable to REX shareholders from continuing operations in Q3 ‘22 was $3.2 million, compared to $13.3 million in Q3 ‘21. Q3 ‘22 basic and diluted net income per share attributable to REX common shareholders from continuing operations was $0.18, compared to $0.74 per share in Q3 ‘21. Per share results for Q3 ‘22 and Q3 ‘21 are based on 17,591,000 and 17,890,000 diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, reflecting the Company’s 3-for-1 common stock split effected August 5, 2022.

REX American Resources’ Chief Executive Officer, Zafar Rizvi, commented, “The third quarter marked a difficult operating environment as we faced significant price increases in our two largest inputs – corn and natural gas – as well as ongoing logistical constraints. Despite these challenges, we were able to post our ninth consecutive quarter of positive income along with income per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 of $1.10. We have maintained our robust balance sheet and liquidity position which at quarter end included approximately $290 million in cash and short-term investments and no debt. We remain confident our strong capital structure positions REX to continue to benefit our shareholders and support our ethanol businesses while strategically investing in initiatives that can yield attractive returns for our employees, partners and shareholders.

“In this regard, our team remains very excited about our carbon capture and sequestration project and is making meaningful progress on this front. We filed a Class VI injection well permit application for three wells to allow us to inject carbon dioxide into deep rock formations and recently signed a contract for a carbon compression facility for our One Earth Energy ethanol plant. The language and opportunities in the Inflation Reduction Act are encouraging, including the new clean fuel production credit under section 45Z and an increase in the 45Q credit to $85 per ton. We believe this can bring significant financial benefits to our carbon capture and sequestration initiatives and to the ethanol industry as a whole.”

Balance Sheet

As of October 31, 2022, REX had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $289.8 million, $30.5 million of which was at the parent company, and $259.3 million of which was at its consolidated production facilities. This compares with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at January 31, 2022, of $255.7 million, $42.9 million of which was at the parent company, and $212.8 million of which was at its consolidated ethanol production facilities.

During the fiscal third quarter ended October 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 249,570 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $6.8 million. The Company is currently authorized to repurchase up to an additional 876,786 shares of common stock and has approximately 17,390,469 shares of common stock outstanding.
