SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP > Defining how an engineering firm can enter the Middle East. Brimmond is an engineering business delivering hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical and electrical solutions, across varying sectors including energy, marine, defence, renewable and decommissioning. Brimmond where considering the opportunity of entry into the Middle East market. The senior management team believed that entering the market had the potential to further lift the turnover of the business. Too add, it was also viewed that market entry would secure the business against a potential future decline of its primary North Sea market. Before acting they needed some due diligence executed to confirm the presence and scale of an opportunity. Brimmond commissioned our strategy consultants to validate whether there was an opportunity to enter the market. Following establishing that there was in fact an opportunity, the team was then requested to make a recommendation on the best business model for entering the market. In this project our team delivered > Market research > Customer research > Competitor research > Market opportunity assessment > Business plan for market entry The business has now successfully entered the Middle East.

We enjoyed the opportunity to participate on a panel at the What’s Up Down South economic summit in southern Utah today! Panel participants included Danny Stewart and Lynne Mayer from our team, alongside Jen Wakeland, who is the director of strategic development director for Beaver County. During the panel we discussed how we synergize with local communities to create a hub for collaboration, innovation, and growth designed to facilitate global connectivity and streamline business operations. We highlighted three project areas of significance for southern Utah: 1) The Mineral Mountain Project area, which will optimize transportation assets, energy and mining resources, and other key factors to develop new primary employment opportunities in Beaver 2) The Iron Springs Project Area, which will serve southwestern Utah with two transloading facilities and the creation of a 725-acre rail-served industrial park for new business development.

I was teaching Bernoulli principle that when a fluid moves from high pressure area to low pressure, it does so with lot of velocity. It derives from conservation of energy. The following practical examples will tell you how much we encounter this effect in real life. 1. When we accelerate water flow in a hose by partially blocking its vent. 2. Injection needles have a narrow vent and thus convert your pressure to kinetic energy 3. When you enter a metro station, the sudden breeze of air that welcomes you.... 4. Super windy narrow tunnels forming between adjacent buildings 5. Finally, the motivation for this post: If you haven't realized yet, farting is also a good example of Bernoulli effect. Have a good day, my friend!

ICYMI 📽 George Ogilvie, P.Eng. interview with the CEO BBQ "Our company stacks up very well against our peers, but we are trading at a 10th of the value. What its telling me is that we are being valued currently on a PEA that is 2.5 years old now. There could be a real transformational event with the PFS coming out early in Q1 2024, if we can deliver a document that is in line with what the management has been guiding over the last 6 mos as we embarked on the study." ✅ #jurisdiction ✅ management and team #expertise ✅ stage of #engineering ✅ #water ✅ #permits ✅ #grade and #commodity ✅ #community support ✅ #infrastructure

Once again the year ends with a big M&A deal! Last year it was Serica acquiring Tailwind, this year its Harbour acquiring Wintershall Dea*. The US$11.2 billion deal, funded through bonds, new share issues and US$2 billion in future cash flows, will increase Harbour’s production to around 500 kboep/d and bring entry into new regions. The enlarged business is forecast to generate FCF of around US$1.5 billion annually into the mid-2030’s. As with the Majors, Harbour is pushing for gas. The new business will be around 60% gas weighted. Emissions intensity will also drop to around 14 tCO2e/kboe across the enlarged portfolio. Harbour’s North Sea portfolio has driven a successful de-leveraging programme, which has afforded it the liquidity and balance sheet strength to push for a deal of this size. There’s a long time to go until the anticipated completion date in Q4 2024, but we doubt this is the end of the story for Harbour’s M&A plans.

In this interview I visit with seasoned energy industry vet Ed Kovalik, these days the Chairman and C.E.O. of Prairie Operating Co. (NASD-PROP.) Prairie--which obtained its Nasdaq listing right before this past Christmas--has garnered attention, in part, due to its strategy of buying accretive energy assets in what we call a "sweet spot" in the market/industry right now. Here' you'll learn about both Prairie's core assets it launched with in 2023 and its latest impressive acquisition; this all together with its growth and looming plans for added development and production. Beyond all this--and solidifying the investment case for Prairie specifically--Ed and Chris also add some key insights on the internal dynamics and pricing of energy to underscore just how out of whack things are…and to reinforce our mutual argument that fossil fuels are not only here to stay for quite some time but that the present represents another great opportunity for long-term investors to load up on "Old Energy."
