ENERGY INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

Exploration and Production: 2021-3Q Review and Outlook

Energy Stocks Performance

Energy stocks, as measured by the XLE Energy Index, declined sharply in the first half of the quarter falling as much as 16%. The second half of the quarter was a different story with the index regaining lost ground and finishing within 0.04 points, or 0.01% of where it began. This is in direct contrast to the S&P 500 Index which rose steadily in July and August before giving back much of its outperformance in September and ending the quarter up a modest 0.85%

Oil Prices

As one might expect, the XLE Index largely mirrored oil prices. WTI oil prices began the quarter at $75.23/bbl., fell to as low as $62.32/bbl., and then shot up sharply to $75.88/bbl. Prices have surpassed peak levels reached in 2018. One would have to go back to 2014 to find higher oil prices. What’s more, oil prices show no signs of letting up. Drilling rig count has started to increase, but not at a level one would expect for this oil price level. Brent oil prices have also been strong and are close to crossing $80/bbl. The spread between Brent and WTI prices has widened but remain below the traditional spread of around $5/bbl. The WTI oil futures curve shows oil prices declining on the out months but staying above $74/bbl. through December.

High oil prices, combined with improved operating efficiencies mean that production companies are facing very favorable returns on their investment. We look for companies to start reporting strong positive cash flow and to use cash flow to increase drilling and improve balance sheets. We do not expect companies to raise dividend payments given the cyclical nature of recent oil price trends but would not rule out share repurchases if stock prices do not rebound further.

Natural Gas Prices

The rise in oil prices is impressive, but it pales in comparison to the jump in natural gas prices. Henry Hub gas prices rose 53% during the quarter and are now trading at a level of $5.619/mcf. One would have to go back to 2008 to find natural gas prices this high. Interestingly, the rise has come during the normally quiet summer months. The race to refill storage units that began in March has been negatively impacted by tepid drilling activity combined with high gas demand due to hot weather this summer. Natural gas future prices rise through the high-demand months of winter. The January contract, for example, trades at $5.85/mcf.

Longer-term energy trends

Energy sources in the United States are undergoing a significant transformation away from carbon-based fuels. While this should not be a surprise to anyone, it is worth taking a long-term view of energy consumption to highlight how the transformation has accelerated in recent years. Coal consumption has been replaced by renewable, nuclear, and natural gas. Worth noting, petroleum consumption, which grew dramatically in the last 50 years, has maintained the levels reached at the end of the century. We believe this trend will continue with petroleum providing a smaller portion of the overall energy picture, but not necessarily declining in absolute value.

Outlook 

The rebound in oil and natural gas prices came faster than expected and is staying higher than we would have expected. We have been adjusting our models to reflect higher prices but are maintaining our long-term oil price forecast of $50 per barrel and $2.50 per mcf. Energy companies should start reporting positive cash flow at these prices and increasing drilling budgets.

Our near-term outlook for energy stocks remains positive. Wells being drilled today at current prices are generating cash flow to repay drilling costs in a matter of months, not years. We expect companies to report favorable results for the next few quarters. Longer-term, we have concern that oil demand will be constrained by power generation competition from renewable energy and decreased demand for gasoline and diesel due to a growth in electric vehicles. At the same time, increased supply from OPEC and continued drilling productivity will eventually mean lower energy prices. However, the near-term returns are so favorable, we believe investors will be amply rewarded before such a time arrives. We recommend investor shift their attention to companies with active drilling programs and a plethora of drilling options.

About Gevo

Gevo’s mission is to transform renewable energy and carbon into energy-dense liquid hydrocarbons. These liquid hydrocarbons can be used for drop-in transportation fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel, that when burned have potential to yield net-zero greenhouse gas emissions when measured across the full life cycle of the products. Gevo uses low-carbon renewable resource-based carbohydrates as raw materials, and is in an advanced state of developing renewable electricity and renewable natural gas for use in production processes, resulting in low-carbon fuels with substantially reduced carbon intensity (the level of greenhouse gas emissions compared to standard petroleum fossil-based fuels across their life cycle). Gevo’s products perform as well or better than traditional fossil-based fuels in infrastructure and engines, but with substantially reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to addressing the problems of fuels, Gevo’s technology also enables certain plastics, such as polyester, to be made with more sustainable ingredients. Gevo’s ability to penetrate the growing low-carbon fuels market depends on the price of oil and the value of abating carbon emissions that would otherwise increase greenhouse gas emissions. Gevo believes that its proven, patented technology enabling the use of a variety of low-carbon sustainable feedstocks to produce price-competitive low-carbon products such as gasoline components, jet fuel and diesel fuel yields the potential to generate project and corporate returns that justify the build-out of a multi-billion-dollar business.

Gevo believes that the Argonne National Laboratory GREET model is the best available standard of scientific-based measurement for life cycle inventory or LCI.

Release – Gevo and Axens Ink Alliance for Ethanol-to-Jet Technology and Sustainable Aviation Fuel Commercial Project Development


Gevo and Axens Ink Alliance for Ethanol-to-Jet Technology and Sustainable Aviation Fuel Commercial Project Development

 

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Oct. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO) and Axens North America, Inc. (Axens) have entered into an agreement that establishes a strategic alliance aimed at accelerating the commercialization of sustainable ethanol-to-jet (ETJ) projects in the United States. As part of the alliance, Axens brings technologies with over 60 related patents; engineering packages; proprietary catalysts; and certain proprietary equipment required to convert ethanol into jet fuel. Axens would also provide process guarantees for commercial ETJ projects. Gevo expects to develop, own, and operate ETJ plants to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), utilizing its expertise in renewable alcohol production and technologies; Net-Zero business model; project financing expertise; customer relationships, and contracts.

Axens has a long history of developing and commercializing best in class technology to convert olefins, such as ethylene, propylene, and butylene into hydrocarbon fuels and blend stocks such as gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel fuel:
 

  • > 60 commercial olefin oligomerization technology deployments
  • > 30 years of commercial operation
  • Leader in the field of homogeneous catalysis research recognized by the 2005 Nobel award Prize in chemistry to IFPEN’s Yves Chauvin
  • > 60 related patents across this technology chain
     

Instead of making olefins from petroleum, it is now possible to make them from ethanol and butanol, so the same commercially proven technologies can be deployed to make renewable hydrocarbon fuels.

“This agreement not only strengthens Axens’ existing relationship with Gevo that currently includes technology development and deployment in the isobutanol derived fuels, but reiterates Axens’ commitment to Gevo’s growth potential, while recognizing Axens’ innovative, commercially-proven, and differentiated technology bundle approach. Gevo’s approach makes it possible to decarbonize the ethanol supply chain and thus utilize technologies originally developed and well-proven for fossil-hydrocarbon production to produce renewable, drop-in fuels. Finally, we are convinced that Gevo’s breakthrough approach to scientifically tracking and accounting for carbon, emissions, and sustainability across the whole of the business system is a true differentiator that will enable growth of SAF production via carbohydrate derived alcohols,” said Jean Sentenac, Chief Executive Officer of Axens.

“Our customers want SAF and other low-carbon hydrocarbons sooner, rather than later. The collaboration between Gevo and Axens is expected to allow Gevo to rapidly partner with existing ethanol producers to deploy proven technologies at commercial scales consistent with the airline industry’s sustainability goals. We see that there is great potential to convert ethanol into SAF and other hydrocarbons. Additionally, there is synergy with Gevo proprietary isobutanol production technology that is expected to result in unique product blending synergies for producing low-carbon gasoline, SAF, and renewable diesel. We know from our work on the Net-Zero business model that it is possible to drive the fossil-based GHG and related emissions footprint very low or even negative while producing drop-in hydrocarbon fuels like SAF and we think the model can apply to ETJ too,” said Dr. Patrick R. Gruber, Chief Executive Officer of Gevo.

“Axens is a great partner. They have a lot of patents, expertise, and a track record of success with their technologies to convert olefins into hydrocarbons. In short, Axens de-risks the production technology. Gevo expects to build, own, and operate alcohol-to-jet plants alone or with partners. To any ethanol plant owners out there who want to change their game and get into Net-Zero type SAF and hydrocarbons, please give us a call,” continued Dr. Gruber.

Is Thorium, Not Uranium the Future of Power Generation?


Image Credit: Homeland Security Newswire

Chinese Thorium Power Plant May Challenge Nuclear Expectations

 

The nuclear energy industry has recently unveiled tremendous new potential and expects many more positive changes. From nuclear batteries, to natrium salt reactors, to modular units, the high output and low to no carbon appeal of nuclear has again put uranium fueled solutions at the forefront of many energy discussions. Investors are also finding different ways to benefit from the nuclear renaissance and increased fuel demand. Whether it be through investing in mining companies, derivative-based funds, or even physical delivery, there’s excitement and speculation around anticipated growth. But what if Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Eric Sprott and others are right about a nuclear future but wrong about what will fuel it?

One of the many nuclear variations being built and trialed is ready to go online. This plant may completely alter the expected course many now have for nuclear power — and it may not include uranium.

New Fuel, New Options

One typically doesn’t build a nuclear-fired power plant in the desert. Water used as a coolant has always been an important component. However, in a province called Wuwei in the Gobi Desert, the Chinese are in the testing stage of an experimental reactor. This nuclear reactor will use thorium as fuel. Thorium also needs a companion metal to react with; this could either be spent plutonium or uranium. The technology on which the plant was designed has been known since the sixties. China could soon be in the position to benefit from this abundant alternative fuel.

What is Thorium?

Thorium is a radioactive metal that presents itself naturally in rocks. At the moment, it isn’t used for much. However, thorium is a by-product of mining rare earth minerals. Mining rare earth minerals is being done across the globe with increased capacity to satisfy the world’s appetite for clean energy storage. This makes thorium increasingly available.

Compared to the cost, efficiency, and availability of uranium, thorium has some advantages. According to the Nobel Prize winner in Physics (1984), Carlo Rubbia, the comparison of the energy produced by one tonne of thorium fission would be equivalent to about 200 tonnes of uranium. Since 7 grams of uranium is equivalent to about one tonne of coal, one tonne of thorium would replace about 28 million tonnes of coal. The ability to reduce carbon-emitting coal use is only the beginning of the benefits foreseen.

One tonne of thorium is a sphere just shy of 22 inches in diameter. A smaller sphere of thorium the size of a tennis ball could electrify London’s nine million homes and businesses for a week. The earth’s thorium reserves could be expected to supply the planet’s energy needs for tens of thousands of years.

As far as contamination and waste, thorium plants have the potential to generate a much smaller amount of shorter-life radioactive waste than reactors now in use. The waste volume is estimated to be 1/35 for the same energy output. Because of a shorter half-life, of the spent thorium, compared to spent uranium, 99.99% of the waste would be stable in 300 years, rather than tens of thousands for U235.

About the Reactors

The process of the reactor is different than traditional power stations, so new plants from the ground up are needed to use thorium; they are not interchangeable. Much like the natrium reactor demonstration project to be built in Wyoming, the cooling process can be salt-based and therefore avoid the need to be near a body of water.  According to Nature.com, the Chinese reactor will use fluoride-based salts. These will melt into a transparent liquid when heated to around 840 degrees (Fahrenheit). This salt serves as the coolant as well as the storer of heat energy for the reactor core. It allows the reactors can be installed in isolated and dry areas.

The Chinese pilot reactor is the first thorium molten salt reactor to operate since 1969. At that time, U.S. scientists shut down the first thorium reactor at the Oak Ridge National Lab in Tennessee after the program was canceled. The Chinese plant copied the Oak Ridge design but improved by drawing on decades of innovation in manufacturing, materials, and instrumentation.

Take-Away

The future is never certain. Innovation, competition, and new discoveries disrupt trends. The new thorium plant may pave the way for co-existing technologies to generate energy from uranium and other mineral reactions, just as fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) co-exist and pull the weight for today’s energy needs.

If successful, the new plant ushers in an era where, for the first time in human history, electricity generation can be counted on for tens of thousands of years. This would be bullish for the human race and worth watching.

Release – Capstone Green Energy Announces Four New Long-Term Clean Energy Microturbine Rental Agreements

 


Capstone Green Energy (NASDAQ:CGRN) Announces Four New Long-Term Clean Energy Microturbine Rental Agreements and Intends to Expand its Rental Fleet From 13.1 MW to 17.1 MW by December 31, 2021

 

The Four New Contracts, From Four New Customers, Total 3.2 MW

VAN NUYS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 11, 2021 / Capstone Green Energy Corporation (www.CapstoneGreenEnergy.com) (NASDAQ:CGRN) (“Capstone” or the “Company”), a global leader in carbon reduction and on-site resilient green energy solutions, announced today that it has entered into four new long-term rental contracts with four new end-use customers in the hospitality and industrial grow house markets.

By offering customers Energy as a Service, Capstone Green Energy is strengthening its commitment to creating smarter energy for a cleaner future, as carbon reduction continues to have ever-increasing value to global customers.

The four contracts represent 3.2 MW of clean energy systems, and as a result, the Company plans to expand its current long-term rental fleet from today’s 13.1 MW to 17.1 MW by December 31, 2021. Management has previously set a target to increase the new long-term rental fleet to 21.1 MW by the end of its current fiscal year, March 31, 2022.

“Capstone Green Energy continues to expand its Energy as a Service (EaaS) business, including its long-term rental program, which is an important element in achieving our near term profitability goals as rentals generate higher contribution margin rates than traditional product sales,” said Darren Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Green Energy. “With these four new long-term contracts, the Capstone microturbine rental fleet is expected to be expanded to 17.1 MW, which is well on our way to achieving our goal of expanding to 21.1 MW by March 31, 2022,” concluded Mr. Jamison.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

    Kiewit Energy Group leading FEED work and likely to be EPC contractor. Another sign of progress on moving Net Zero concept forward. Kiewit Energy Group, a leading US-based engineering company with extensive energy industry experience, will take over and now lead the FEED effort. Kiewit Energy Group was also identified as the likely Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) contractor. The narrowing of the -/+ factor on plant costs should accelerate now that the likely EPC contractor has been identified.

    Letter of intent (LOI) with Chevron (CVX) remains a game changer.  Not only does the addition of a major integrated oil company as a major partner and co-investor validate the renewable fuel concept, visibility improves on the funding and off-take fronts. The LOI is subject to finalizing terms of the co-investment and fuel supply agreements by May 31, 2022 …

Release – CanAlaska Completes Key Uranium Project Agreement


CanAlaska Completes Key Uranium Project Agreement

 

Targets Follow 10km Section of Key Lake Fault

Key Lake Mill Nearby with Deposits Host to 150 Million lbs Uranium

Vancouver, Canada, October 6, 2021 – CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSX-V: CVV; OTCQB: CVVUF; Frankfurt: DH7N) (“CanAlaska” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed the Property Option Agreement (the “POA”) with Durama Enterprises Limited (“Durama”), a private company, which allows CanAlaska to earn up to 100% interest in Durama’s 17,665 hectare Key Extension Project in the Southeast Athabasca Basin region, adjacent to the Key Lake mine and uranium milling complex. (the “Project”) (Figure 1).

The Company can earn up to a 100% interest in the Project by undertaking work and payments in a single stage over a four year period. In order to meet conditions of the four year earn-in, CanAlaska will make total cash payments of $50,000, issue 300,000 common shares in the Company subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and complete work totalling $850,000 as outlined in Table 1. In addition, a 1.5% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty will be granted to Durama to complete the earn-in. CanAlaska will retain the right to bring in third-party funding and parties to complete the option requirements.

The Key Extension Project lands cover the highly prospective Wollaston-Mudjatik transition zone (WMTZ) in the Southeastern Athabasca Basin (Figure 2). The Project lands have been explored with historical regional and project scale ground and airborne geophysical surveys, with additional focused prospecting programs targeting lake sediment and boulder anomalies.

The Project lands have undergone minimal drill testing despite the prolonged regional exploration and Key Lake deposit discoveries in the area. in the late 1970’s consisting of shallow regional tests of conductors. The Key Lake deposits and associated showings are located approximately 10 km from the northeastern project boundary. The Key Lake deposits consist of a series of east-northeast striking pods of unconformity associated uranium mineralization, which have historically produced over 150 million lbs U3O8 from the Gaertner and Deilmann open pits. The deposit-controlling Key Lake structure and stratigraphy are interpreted to trend onto the Project lands based on the magnetic lineaments and conductor patterns in the geophysical data.

Planned Work Programs

Work permit applications have been submitted to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment for the 2022 field season. Work will consist of a ground gravity survey focused on the Key Lake structure corridor targeting Eagle Point and Arrow uranium deposit analogues. A regional geological prospecting program and re-interpretation of a historical VTEM survey are also planned for the Key Extension project. Diamond drilling is planned for late 2022 targeting results of the ground gravity, VTEM re-interpretation, and geological prospecting.

CanAlaska CEO, Cory Belyk, comments, “CanAlaska is very pleased to enter into the purchase option with Durama. It is a rare opportunity in the eastern Athabasca Basin to gain access to an underexplored section of the prolific Key Lake structure just 15 kilometres from the operating Key Lake uranium mill. The application of geological knowledge gained from recent basement-hosted uranium deposit discoveries at Eagle Point and Arrow have never been applied on this section of the Key Lake Fault providing incredible discovery opportunity for our shareholders.

About CanAlaska Uranium

CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSX-V: CVV; OTCQB: CVVUF; Frankfurt: DH7N) holds interests in approximately 300,000 hectares (750,000 acres), in Canada’s Athabasca Basin – the “Saudi Arabia of Uranium.”  CanAlaska’s strategic holdings have attracted major international mining companies. CanAlaska is currently working with Cameco and Denison at two of the Company’s properties in the Eastern Athabasca Basin. CanAlaska is a project generator positioned for discovery success in the world’s richest uranium district. The Company also holds properties prospective for nickel, copper, gold and diamonds.

Release – Capstone Green Energy Awarded Two Megawatt CCHP Order for Multi-State Industrial Grow Operator and Secures 20 Year Service Plan

 


Capstone Green Energy (NASDAQ:CGRN) Awarded Two Megawatt CCHP Order for Multi-State Industrial Grow Operator and Secures 20 Year Service Plan

 

The 2 Megawatt CCHP System Will Work in Parallel With the Local Utility and Produce 880 Nominal Tons of Cooling Capacity To Be Distributed Throughout Operator’s Maryland Facility

VAN NUYS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 7, 2021 / Capstone Green Energy Corporation (www.CapstoneGreenEnergy.com) (NASDAQ:CGRN), a global leader in carbon reduction and on-site resilient green energy solutions, announced today it has secured a contract for two C1000S microturbines for a state-of-the-art energy system for an industrial grow operator’s Maryland cultivation and processing facility.

The order, secured by E-Finity Distributed Generation (www.e-finity.com), Capstone’s exclusive distributor for the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern United States, and the Caribbean, is expected to be commissioned in the summer of 2022.

Two Capstone natural gas-fueled C1000 Signature Series microturbine energy systems will use their waste heat for two exhaust-fired absorption chillers that will produce 880 tons of chilled water to be used for space conditioning of the 90,000 square foot facility. The resilient system will be capable of islanding from the electric utility in the case of a power outage and should provide continuous operation to the grow facility.

“The combined heat and power (CHP) plant is designed to meet the facility’s strict cooling demand while protecting the customer from the high operational costs of operating a chilled water plant,” said Tom McGeehan, E-Finity’s Vice President of Sales.

The system is expected to save the customer millions of dollars over the life of the product and to reduce emissions by over 13 million pounds of CO2 per year, which is equivalent to removing over 1,110 cars from the road.

“We continue to see an increase in project opportunities in the global industrial grow house and greenhouse industry as they are realizing maximum benefits from on-site green energy, including cost savings and increased resiliency,” said Darren Jamison, Capstone Green Energy President and Chief Executive Officer. “While both of these are critical for efficient operations, our green energy systems also offer significant environmental benefits,” concluded Mr. Jamison.
