A significant regulatory milestone accomplished as NuScale readies to bring its SMR technology to market this decade

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NuScale Power announced today that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed Phase 6 review—the last and final phase—of the Design Certification Application (DCA) for the company’s groundbreaking small modular reactor (SMR) with the issuance of the Final Safety Evaluation Report (FSER). The FSER represents completion of the technical review and approval of the NuScale SMR design. With this final phase of NuScale’s DCA now complete, customers can proceed with plans to develop NuScale power plants with the understanding that the NRC has approved the safety aspects of the NuScale design.



“This is a significant milestone not only for NuScale, but also for the entire U.S. nuclear sector and the other advanced nuclear technologies that will follow. This clearly establishes the leadership of NuScale and the U.S. in the race to bring SMRs to market. The approval of NuScale’s design is an incredible accomplishment and we would like to extend our deepest thanks to the NRC for their comprehensive review, to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for its continued commitment to our successful private-public partnership to bring the country’s first SMR to market, and to the many other individuals who have dedicated countless hours to make this extraordinary moment a reality,” said NuScale Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Hopkins. “Additionally, the cost-shared funding provided by Congress over the past several years has accelerated NuScale’s advancement through the NRC Design Certification process. This is what DOE’s SMR Program was created to do, and our success is credited to strong bipartisan support from Congress.”

NuScale’s DCA was completed in December 2016 and accepted by the NRC in March 2017. The review process demonstrated both the simplicity of NuScale’s SMR design and the thoroughness of the company’s application. As an example, during the rigorous Phase 1 review process, which included 115,000 hours spent reviewing the DCA, the NRC issued far fewer requests for additional information compared to other design certification applications. NuScale spent over $500 million, with the backing of Fluor, and over 2 million labor hours to develop the information needed to prepare its DCA application. The company also submitted 14 separate Topical Reports in addition to the over 12,000 pages for its DCA application and provided more than 2 million pages of supporting information for NRC audits.

“The NRC embraced the challenge of reviewing the first-ever small modular reactor DCA, which at the time not only marked an important milestone for NuScale, but also for the nuclear industry as a whole. NuScale appreciates the dedication, time, and effort of the NRC throughout this multi-year process, often with reviews completing ahead of schedule. As a long-time former NRC employee, including as an executive in the Office of New Reactors, I can say that this early issuance of the FSER is truly a credit to everyone at the NRC—including technical review and project staff, management, and the Commission,” said NuScale Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Tom Bergman.

NuScale continues to maintain strong program momentum toward commercialization of its SMR technology, including supply chain development, standard plant design, planning of plant delivery activities, and startup and commissioning plans. The company fields growing domestic and international customer interest from those who see the NuScale power plant as a long-term solution for providing reliable, safe, affordable, and operationally flexible carbon-free energy for diverse applications. NuScale has signed agreements with entities in the U.S., Canada, Romania, the Czech Republic, and Jordan. Similar agreements with other entities are being negotiated.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SANDRIDGE PERMIAN TRUST (NYSE: PER) (the “Trust”) today confirmed that it has received an open letter from PEDEVCO Corp. addressed to the Trust, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”), the holders of the common units of the Trust (“Trust units”), and Avalon Energy, LLC (“Avalon”), as a holder of Trust units and the operator of the assets underlying the Trust, regarding PEDEVCO’s interest in acquiring all of the publicly-traded Trust units via an exchange offer and subsequent merger. On August 26, 2020, in response to an indication of interest sent by PEDEVCO directly to the Trustee, the Trustee informed PEDEVCO that because the trust agreement governing the Trust does not authorize the Trustee to enter into an arrangement with an offer or with respect to a negotiated exchange offer or tender offer for the outstanding Trust units, the Trustee declined to enter into discussions with PEDEVCO regarding the transactions contemplated by PEDEVCO’s indication of interest.

The open letter expresses an indication of interest and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval or an exchange offer. The open letter specifies that if any such offer, solicitation or exchange offer is made, PEDEVCO will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement, a proxy statement and/or a Schedule TO.

If any such offer is made, the Trustee will file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 to advise holders of Trust units as to whether the Trustee recommends acceptance or rejection of the offer, expresses no opinion and remains neutral to the offer, or is unable to take a position with respect to the offer, and the reasons for that position or inability to take a position.

The Trustee recommends that holders of Trust units defer making any investment decision with respect to their Trust units until such time. The Trustee also recommends that holders of Trust units, before making any investment decision with respect to their Trust units, consider the Schedule 13D/A that Avalon and Montare Resources I, LLC jointly filed with the SEC on August 27, 2020.

This order marks the largest electric vehicle commitment for Mercedes-Benz Vans to date

The electric vehicles from this order will begin making deliveries to customers in 2020, helping to save thousands of metric tons of carbon

The Climate Pledge, co-founded by Amazon and Global Optimism, is a commitment to reach net zero carbon by 2040—ten years ahead of the Paris Agreement

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) announced it is adding more than 1,800 electric vehicles from Mercedes-Benz Vans to its delivery fleet in Europe this year. Amazon and Mercedes-Benz share a commitment to reduce emissions from the transportation sector, and Mercedes-Benz also announced today it has joined The Climate Pledge, which calls on signatories to be net zero carbon across their businesses by 2040—a decade ahead of the Paris Agreement goal of 2050.



“We welcome the bold leadership demonstrated by Mercedes-Benz by signing up to The Climate Pledge and committing to ambitious action to address climate change. We need continued innovation and partnership from auto manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz to decarbonize the transportation sector and tackle the climate crisis,” said Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO. “Amazon is adding 1,800 electric delivery vehicles from Mercedes-Benz as part of our journey to build the most sustainable transportation fleet in the world, and we will be moving fast to get these vans on the road this year.”

“At Mercedes-Benz, we have set ourselves the ambitious target to make the transformation of mobility a success story. By joining ‘The Climate Pledge’ we are building on our goal to consistently pursue emission-free mobility and sustainable vehicle production,” said Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG. “We stand with Amazon, Global Optimism and the other signatories of The Climate Pledge, in a commitment to being net zero carbon by 2040 – ten years ahead of The Paris Agreement. I am pleased that we will be able to gain even more momentum on our sustainability offensive with this step.”

As part of Mercedes-Benz’s commitment as the latest signatory of The Climate Pledge, the company is doubling down on its commitment to "Ambition2039," a roadmap to CO2-neutral mobility. The company is evaluating ways to remove carbon from its entire value chain, from development to the supplier network, from its own production to the electrification of products and beyond, as well as to ensuring renewable energies for the use phase of electric vehicles. With its goal to have a CO2-neutral fleet of new cars in less than 20 years, Mercedes-Benz is making an important contribution to slowing climate change. The company is already making good progress in this direction: By the end of this year, the vehicle portfolio will comprise five fully electric models and more than 20 plug-in hybrids. Signatories to The Climate Pledge also have the opportunity to share access to technologies, best practices and innovations in supply chain enhancements. They are also able to co-invest in new technologies and emerging solutions.

Amazon’s Delivery Service Partners will have access to the new fleet of zero-emission vehicles to make deliveries to customers in Europe this year, helping to save thousands of metric tons of carbon. The order is a milestone for Mercedes-Benz Vans, marking the largest order of electric vehicles for the manufacturer to date, and makes Amazon its largest sustainable transportation partner worldwide. More than 1,200 EVs in the order will be comprised of the newest electric commercial van available at Mercedes-Benz – the eSprinter, a larger model than the manufacturer’s first zero-emission vehicle, the eVito. The eSprinter includes state-of-the-art safety features including, electrical parking brake, active brake assist, reverse camera, blind spot assist, and more. The remaining 600 vehicles will be comprised of the manufacturer’s midsize electric van, the eVito, to give Delivery Service Partners operating in geographies that require a smaller-format vehicle access to a zero-emissions delivery option.

"I am delighted that we are further intensifying our long-standing partnership with Amazon and working together on the battery-electric future of transportation," said Marcus Breitschwerdt, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans. “With the eVito and the eSprinter, we have electric vehicles in our portfolio, which are ideally suited for the requirements of the courier-, express- and parcel-service industry for goods delivery on the so-called ‘last mile’ in terms of their equipment and range. They show that local emission-free driving, convincing performance, comfort and low operating costs can be combined perfectly.”

“Amazon’s investment is a strong and concrete sign of its commitment and alignment to EU priorities,” said Fabio Massimo Castaldo, Vice President at the European Parliament. “Amazon continues to contribute to the achievement of the EU Green Deal goals, foster technological innovation and generate resilient and sustainable jobs in Europe. I hope that other corporations will follow Amazon’s example in the near future.”

Amazon is also committed to powering its growing electric fleet with clean energy. As part of The Climate Pledge, Amazon is investing in renewable energy as a critical step toward addressing our carbon footprint globally and has committed to run on 100% renewable energy by 2025. Globally, Amazon has 91 renewable energy projects that have the capacity to generate over 2,900 MW and deliver more than 7.5 million MWh of energy annually. These projects include 31 utility-scale wind and solar renewable energy projects and 60 solar rooftops on fulfillment centers and sort centers around the globe.

The program to install about 38,000 electric car chargers over the next five years will help California achieve its EV and climate goals.


ROSEMEAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--State officials gave Southern California Edison the green light today for an expansive electric car charging infrastructure program that will add about 38,000 new chargers throughout the utility’s 50,000-square-mile service area.

The program, known as Charge Ready 2, will be the nation’s largest light-duty electric vehicle charging program run by an investor-owned utility.

“This action by the California Public Utilities Commission is critical to supporting California’s transition from fossil fuel toward electrification,” said Katie Sloan, SCE director of eMobility and Building Electrification. “Also, investment in EV charging infrastructure can be a catalyst to help with economic recovery from COVID-19, while also supporting vital air quality and climate benefits to all communities.”

The program is an expansion of SCE’s Charge Ready pilot, which was launched three years ago. During the pilot phase, the utility has partnered with businesses, local governments and other organizations to add more than 1,800 EV chargers at more than 100 sites. The $436-million Charge Ready 2 program will continue to focus on providing charging infrastructure at workplaces, public parking lots, schools, hospitals and destination centers.

“By making more charging stations available, we are helping to advance a key component of California’s ambitious climate and transportation electrification goals,” said Jered Lindsay, SCE principal manager of Air and Climate Policy. “SCE’s analysis of the steps that the state must take over the next 25 years to meet those goals calls for 76% — or 26 million — cars on California highways to be electric.”

Through Charge Ready, SCE installs and maintains the supporting EV charging infrastructure and provides rebates to reduce charging station costs, while participants typically own, operate and maintain qualified charging stations.

“Going forward, we will have an added emphasis on the unique challenges faced by apartment and condo complexes, where one-third of SCE customers live and have limited access to at-home charging options,” Sloan said. For this reason, the expanded program has added rebates to support the installation of EV charging ports in new multifamily dwellings that are under construction.

Charge Ready 2 also sets a target to locate 50% of the chargers in state-designated disadvantaged communities, or economically impacted communities that suffer most from the effects of air pollution.

In addition to Charge Ready 2 for passenger EVs, SCE launched a program last year for trucks, buses and off-road industrial equipment. The largest program of its kind in the U.S., Charge Ready Transport aims to add charging to support at least 8,490 medium- and heavy-duty EVs over a five-year period. The $356 million program is also modeled after the Charge Ready pilot.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Westlake Chemical Partners LP (NYSE: WLKP) today issued a statement regarding Hurricane Laura, which made landfall near plants in the Lake Charles, Louisiana area owned by Westlake Chemical OpCo LP (“OpCo”), in which the Partnership owns a 22.8% interest.


The Partnership’s primary concern is for the safety of OpCo’s employees. The employees who stayed at OpCo’s facilities during Hurricane Laura are safe. OpCo has been conducting equipment assessments, following Hurricane Laura’s overnight move through the area.

Following initial facility assessments, OpCo believes it has incurred limited physical damage. Restart of OpCo’s facilities, which OpCo shut down as a precautionary measure in advance of the storm, will primarily depend upon the availability of electricity, industrial gases, and other feedstocks.

“We do not expect any material impact to OpCo or to the Partnership as a result of Hurricane Laura as, pursuant to OpCo’s Ethylene Sales Agreement with affiliates of Westlake Chemical Corporation (“Westlake Sponsor”), Westlake Sponsor is obligated to pay a margin and fixed costs for 95% of OpCo’s budgeted ethylene production, even following a force majeure event,” said Albert Chao, president and chief executive officer of the Partnership’s general partner.

The statements in this release relating to matters that are not historical facts, such as the Partnership’s belief that OpCo’s facilities incurred limited physical damage and the anticipated restart of OpCo’s facilities, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements could be adversely affected by a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond management’s control. The Partnership’s expectations may or may not be realized or may be based upon assumptions or judgments that prove to be incorrect. For more detailed information about the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein, please refer to the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC in February 2020 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC in May 2020.

In the age of Industry 4.0, stakeholders need holistic, long-term plans for territory and sitewide connectivity


BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#5G--A new report from Guidehouse Insights examines why energy industry verticals should consider the long-term evolution (LTE) family of technologies, including NB-IoT, LTE Cat-M1, LTE Cat-1, and 4G and 5G LTE, for their strategic long-term connectivity needs.

Industry 4.0 is here, and energy industry participants—including utilities, oil & gas (O&G), and mining operations—must embrace a full range of digitization technologies to remain safe, efficient, reliable, and competitive as their operating environments transform. Ubiquitous, flexible, and future-proof communications networking will be foundational to this. Click to tweet: According to a new report from @WeAreGHInsights, a strategy built around the family of LTE wireless technologies, based on global standards, presents an effective solution poised to evolve as 5G technology matures.

“To date, most utilities, O&G, and mining companies have taken a scattershot approach, building ad hoc, application-centric networks to perform just a few tasks. They may be operating dozens of incompatible networks per site, with a mix of wired and wireless, public and private solutions performing disparate functions,” says Richelle Elberg, principal research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “Looking ahead, a strategic, holistic, long-term plan should be created for full-territory and sitewide connectivity.”

To position for success, Guidehouse Insights recommends utilities partner with public carriers for infrastructure sharing, reduced costs, and revenue opportunities. They should trial LTE-based network applications with a carrier or in a pilot using shared spectrum, and then consider investment in private spectrum for the most secure, long-term approach. The report also recommends coordination among smaller entities to bring market influence and tailored offerings from carriers and infrastructure vendors.

The report, Wireless Networking and Energy: LTE Standards Set the Stage for the 5G Era, addresses why energy industry verticals should consider the LTE family of technologies for their strategic long-term connectivity needs. It describes each of the LTE-based networking protocols and how they will seamlessly evolve into the 5G framework. It also discusses the various ways LTE networking services can be bought or built and covers the options energy and utility vertical participants have for spectrum needs. It includes a comprehensive list of IoT use cases enabled by LTE protocols, including Narrowband-Internet of Things (NB-IoT), LTE Cat-M1, LTE Cat-1, and 4G and 5G LTE. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Drill Collar Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The drill collar market is expected to register a CAGR of over 1% during the forecast period of 2020-2025.

Factors, such as increased exploration activity and focus on development of new oil and gas fields, are expected to help drive the market for drill collar. However, the volatile nature of oil prices in recent years led to decreased exploration activity causing a slowdown of the drill collar systems market.

Companies Mentioned

  • Hunting PLC
  • China Vigor Drilling Oil Tools and Equipment Co. Ltd
  • International Drilling Services Ltd (IDS)
  • Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment AG
  • National Oilwell Varco Inc. (NOV)
  • Schlumberger Limited
  • Zhong Yuan Special Steel Co. Ltd
  • American Oilfield Tools Inc.
  • Workstrings International
  • Texas Steel Conversion Inc. (TSC)
  • Challenger International Inc.

Key Market Trends

Onshore to Dominate the Market

  • Onshore drilling encompasses all the drilling sites located on dry land and accounts for 70% of the global oil production. Onshore drilling is similar to offshore drilling but without the difficulty of deep water between the platform and the oil.
  • The demand for oil and gas has always been increasing, and this resulted in an increase of drilling activities around the world in an effort to discover new fields. This, in turn, resulted in an increase in the demand for drill collars.
  • Currently, the wells are being drilled deeper, and they are more complex than before. This is expected to drive the drill collar market's growth.
  • In 2019, ONGC announced that it allotted INR 6,000 crore for drilling 200 wells over the next seven years in Assam, to increase the output from the state. The wells are expected to be drilled during the next seven years.
  • Hence, new investment in the onshore oil and gas industry, increasing exploration of unconventional resources, and the crude oil price stability are expected to increase the demand for drill collar across the world.

North America to Dominate the Market Growth

  • North America is a major market for drill collars, owing to the recent shale gas exploration in the region. Exploration in Gulf of Mexico is also on rise, and it is complimenting the drill collar market in the region.
  • According to the Canadian government's report published in 2018, oil production from Canada is anticipated to reach 4.5 mmbpd by 2020 and production is expected to increase from offshore well situated in the West Orphan Basin, offshore Newfoundland, and Labrador, which is estimated to hold 25.5 bbl of oil and 20.6 tcf of gas.
  • As a result of higher oil prices and declining drilling costs, the offshore rig count and offshore oil production in the United States increased significantly, indicating growing offshore drilling activities. This is expected to be the major driver for the drill collar market in the country.
  • Therefore, factors, such as rising oil and gas investments, along with development of shale plays, are expected to drive the growth of the global drill collar market over the forecast period.
