LAUSANNE, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Akselos SA (Akselos) has announced the successful deployment of a structural Digital Twin for Shell’s Bonga Main FPSO, located 120km Southwest of the Niger Delta in Nigeria.



The Digital Twin is a physics-based model of the asset, which represents its entire physical counterpart in absolute detail and accuracy. The model is updated with loading conditions and inspection data on a regular basis, providing the ability to carry out structural assessments based on the ‘as is’ condition, from anywhere and at any time.

The structural Digital Twin, which is based on Akselos’ patented RB-FEA technology, was selected by Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCo), Shell’s deepwater company in Nigeria and operator of the 225,000 oil barrel capacity FPSO, because of its unique ability to realise a number of operational objectives. These include the identification of critical areas for prioritised inspection, maintenance and repair; a reduction in personnel on board the asset; reduced necessity for physical inspections in hard-to-reach areas such as cargo tanks; and to support scenario planning for extreme weather events and asset modification.

The deployment of the breakthrough simulation technology will also enable safe asset life extension by replacing the over-conservative estimates made with conventional simulation software, with accurate assessments that reflect actual remaining fatigue life.

Elohor Aiboni, Asset Manager for Bonga, said “The Bonga Main FPSO heralded a number of innovative ‘firsts’ when it was built back in 2004, so it’s fitting that it’s the first asset of its kind to deploy something as advanced as a structural Digital Twin. We are very excited about the new capabilities that Akselos brings and believe it will create a positive impact on the way we manage structural integrity. It is also a great example of digitalisation coming to life.”

The Bonga Main FPSO, which became operational in 2004, has a capacity of 225,000 barrels per day and weighs over 300,000 tonnes, making it the largest asset in the world to be protected by a structural Digital Twin.

Dr David Knezevic, CTO and Co-Founder of Akselos said: “We are very proud to have reached this important milestone, which represents many months of complex engineering work between SNEPCo and Akselos. To have the opportunity to deploy our breakthrough technology on a 300,000 tonne asset is the kind of technical challenge that Akselos was founded to solve. I’d like to thank the SNEPCo team and the wider team within Shell for sharing our vision and for their commitment to digital transformation.”

Shell has been working with Akselos since its technology scouts were introduced to the company as a start-up, as part of the MIT Industrial Liaison programme in 2015. Since then, the integrated energy company has supported Akselos’ technology deployment on many of its assets and become a minority shareholder through its venture capital arm Shell Ventures. The partnership has played an important role in Akselos’ development to become an international scale-up operating across the energy sector.

About Akselos:
Akselos is the creator of the world's most advanced engineering simulation technology - physics-based, real-time digital twins. Founded in 2012 and with operations in Europe, the USA, and South East Asia, the company’s products are designed specifically to help design and protect the world’s critical infrastructure. Using patented algorithms developed through 15 years of research at MIT, Akselos’ technology is bringing a powerful new innovation curve to mechanical engineering, helping the energy sector optimize design and operations and increase asset sustainability. Akselos was named as a Technology Pioneer in 2020 by the World Economic Forum.

Electrolyzers, solid oxide electrolysis cells, and biomass gasifiers are expected to play a key role as emphasis for decarbonization and renewables integration increases


BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Biomass--A new report from Guidehouse Insights analyzes the global market for emerging hydrogen production technologies, providing forecasts for capacity and revenue through 2029.

There has been much discussion over the past several years of how hydrogen can aid the energy transition. Four emerging technologies—alkaline electrolyzers (AES), proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), and biomass gasifiers—are expected to move the market forward as decarbonization becomes increasingly important and costs for green hydrogen (or hydrogen produced with no emissions) decline. Click to tweet: According to a new report from @WeAreGHInsights, the global capacity for emerging hydrogen production technologies is expected to reach approximately 1 GW annually by 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.2%.

“As countries and economies develop plans for decarbonization, hydrogen is being recognized as a potential tool for a variety of reasons,” says Shayne Willette, research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “Currently, only 1%-4% of hydrogen is produced with clean production technologies, but with greater emphasis on decarbonization, increasing renewables integration, and decreasing capital costs, emerging clean hydrogen production technologies are poised to play a key role going forward.”

According to the report, AES, PEM, and SOECs can use renewable electricity to produce green hydrogen, while biomass gasifiers can use otherwise carbon-emitting feedstocks such as municipal solid waste (MSW) to achieve the same result. Although most hydrogen is used in the industrial sector, significant demand growth is expected in the mobility sector due to expansion in the fuel cell vehicle (FCV) market as well as in hydrogen storage.

The report, Emerging Hydrogen Production Technologies, analyzes the global market for these emerging hydrogen production technologies based on geographic region and the different technologies. The study provides an analysis of current market issues, opportunities, drivers, and barriers for these emerging hydrogen production technologies. Global market forecasts for capacity and revenue extend through 2029. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.

12.32 GWac global portfolio exceeds total capacity installed by entire U.S. solar industry in 2019

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AGEL--Adani Green Energy Limited:

EDITOR’S SYNOPSIS

  • Mercom Capital ranks the Adani Group as the #1 global solar power generation asset owner
  • Adani’s portfolio is 12.32 GWac which exceeds the total installed capacity of the U.S. in 2019
  • Adani’s renewable energy generation capacity will displace 1.4 billion tons of carbon dioxide
  • Adani Green Energy established its first solar project in just 2015 and has a combined wind & solar portfolio of 14.62 GWac
  • In terms of under construction and awarded capacity, Mercom Capital further gives top position to Adani Green with 10.1 GW of projects

The latest ranking of global solar companies by Mercom Capital ranks the Adani Group as the #1 global solar power generation asset owner in terms of operating solar projects. Adani’s renewable energy portfolio exceeds the total capacity installed by the entire United States solar industry in 2019 and will displace over 1.4 billion tons of carbon dioxide over the life of its assets. The group is one of the most fully integrated solar players in the world, manufacturing solar cells and modules, undertaking project development, construction, financial structuring and owning and operating its assets through its robust internal asset management platform. According to the ranking, Adani is roughly 70 percent larger than the next-largest global solar power generation company.



Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) established its first solar project in 2015 and even as recently as 2017 the Company had completed just two solar projects. The Company went public (NSE: ADANIGREEN) in 2018 and has accelerated its presence to reach the current milestone of being the largest solar player in the world in a short span of just five years, and has a stated target of reaching 25 GWac of renewable power by 2025.

In response to this ranking, Mr. Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group said: “Achieving this ranking is a direct result of our commitment to creating the infrastructure needed for a clean-powered future. While we are pleased to be ranked the largest solar player in the world, we recognize that there is a lot more that remains for us to do as the world transitions into an increasingly decarbonized energy landscape. We anticipate that over the next decade several existing business models will be impacted as a result of the disruption caused by the intersection of plummeting cost of renewable energy and the ability of technology to rescale industries.

We expect our renewable energy platform will create new possibilities for our core business and we will be able to address some of the most intractable problems that humankind has faced, including affordable decentralized energy, availability of distributed clean water, green hydrogen as an alternate fuel, and micro agriculture, among others. Building partnerships with major industrials, data center providers, and global integrated energy players that seek to reduce their carbon footprints will also continue to further accelerate our growth. AGEL was launched just five years ago, our story is only beginning.”

AGEL also achieved a top spot in the global ranking in terms of under construction and awarded capacity with 10.1 GW of projects, making it the definitive leader in mega-scale renewable energy project deployments. As India pushes to invite more global business partners to invest domestically, it sees its growing renewable footprint as helping companies simultaneously fulfill two essential goals: tapping into one of the fastest growing consumer markets and achieving their sustainability targets. The Adani Group has positioned itself at this intersection to help its partners attain both these objectives.

About the Adani Group

The Adani Group is an integrated industrial conglomerate operating globally with six publicly traded companies with total revenues of $15 billion and a market capitalization of ~$30 billion. It has created world class transport and utility infrastructure portfolios with a pan-India presence. Adani Group is headquartered in Ahmedabad, in the state of Gujarat, India.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Matador Resources Company (NYSE: MTDR) (“Matador” or the “Company”) and its midstream affiliate, San Mateo Midstream (“San Mateo”), today announced the completion and successful start-up of the expansion of San Mateo’s Black River cryogenic natural gas processing plant (the “Black River Processing Plant”) in Eddy County, New Mexico. The expansion of the Black River Processing Plant adds an incremental designed inlet capacity of 200 million cubic feet of natural gas per day to the previously existing designed inlet capacity of 260 million cubic feet of natural gas per day for a total designed inlet capacity of 460 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. The expanded Black River Processing Plant supports Matador’s exploration and development activities in the Delaware Basin and is expected to gather and process natural gas from Matador’s Stateline asset area and from the Stebbins area and surrounding leaseholds in the southern portion of its Arrowhead asset area (the “Greater Stebbins Area”). The Black River Processing Plant currently processes natural gas from the Company’s Rustler Breaks asset area and also provides natural gas processing services for a number of other San Mateo customers in the area. Matador has also secured firm transportation via pipeline and fractionation for all anticipated natural gas liquids (“NGL”) and firm transportation via pipeline for all residue natural gas volumes, including those attributable to the newly increased inlet capacity, delivered at the tailgate of the Black River Processing Plant.


Matador is also pleased to announce that San Mateo is nearing completion on the construction of approximately 24 miles of large diameter natural gas gathering pipelines between the Black River Processing Plant and the Company’s Stateline asset area, as well as approximately 19 miles of large diameter natural gas gathering pipelines between the Black River Processing Plant and the Greater Stebbins Area. In addition, San Mateo is nearing completion on the construction of approximately 19 miles of various diameter crude oil pipelines from certain points of origin in Eddy County to the existing San Mateo interconnect with Plains Pipeline, L.P. in Eddy County. These various pipelines are expected to be placed in service at various times from early to mid-September 2020.

Matador recently initiated flowback operations on its five Leatherneck wells in the Greater Stebbins Area, all two-mile laterals, as anticipated. The Company also remains on track to begin turning to sales the 13 Boros wells, all two-mile laterals, drilled and completed in the Stateline asset area in early September 2020. The Boros wells are expected to be turned to sales in a staggered fashion of three to four wells at a time throughout September and into early October. These projects reflect Matador’s tightly integrated strategy of growing its exploration and production and midstream businesses together, as well as the planning, execution and hard work of the Matador and San Mateo teams to achieve the goals the Company set two years ago in terms of production and reserves growth, midstream expansion and improved capital efficiency. Matador looks forward to providing additional details on the completion of the various pipeline and other midstream projects and the initial test results from the Boros and Leatherneck wells in September and October, as these results become available.

Joseph Wm. Foran, Matador’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “We are pleased to announce the completion of this most recent expansion of the Black River Processing Plant, which was initiated almost two years ago and was completed this summer on time and on budget. Along with the addition of the enhanced processing capacity and firm transportation and fractionation, the Black River Processing Plant and associated residue gas takeaway should provide Matador reliable transportation for the natural gas and NGLs from our Rustler Breaks and Stateline asset areas and the Greater Stebbins Area for years to come. The Board and I congratulate and thank the members of our midstream and asset teams – and especially the teams in the field – for the significant value they have created through their efforts and strong execution. We also greatly appreciate the support from our San Mateo joint venture partner, Five Point Energy LLC.”

Founded in 1872, the acquisition preserves the company’s legacy in the oil and gas industry and saves 260 jobs across the United States


TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Cement--Argonaut Private Equity, a Tulsa, Okla.-based private equity fund, announced the acquisition of a cementing solutions business following the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of BJ Services located in Tomball, Texas.

Originally established in 1872, the cementing operation is now doing business as American Cementing with an established footprint in every major oil and gas basin throughout the United States. With the acquisition complete, American Cementing leaders announced today the retention of 260 highly-skilled employees related to the cementing business and procurement of company assets and equipment, including bulk plants and technical labs located in the field. No fracturing assets were acquired in the acquisition.

“The addition of American Cementing to the Argonaut Private Equity portfolio combines our expertise in efficient operations management with our experience in the oil and gas industry,” said Steve Mitchell, Argonaut CEO. “Argonaut’s capital investment provides the strength of our financial support to ensure American Cementing continues its reputation as a leading cementing service provider to upstream oil and gas companies throughout the United States. We are excited to provide American Cementing with an unlevered platform that is focused solely on cementing operations.”

American Cementing services include in-depth laboratory testing, precise blending at the bulk plant and dependable mixing and pumping operations at the wellsite. Additionally, the Company offers acidizing services and products that are engineered to enhance production and remove well-bore damage to ensure integrity for the lifetime of the well.

“We are pleased that American Cementing was able to retain the talent and expertise needed to continue operations and provide a seamless transition to our customers,” said Aaron James, Chief Operating Officer for American Cementing. “With the return to a fiscally-stable business model and clean balance sheet, we can build upon the standard of services and products for which we are known. With the assistance of Argonaut, we have the capacity to reach an even larger customer base within our major basin locations.”

Founded in 2002, Argonaut Private Equity manages investments across multiple asset classes with $3 billion of capital deployed in direct investments in key industry sectors including energy services, manufacturing and industrials.

“We differentiate ourselves in the private equity industry because we value the legacy established by our business enterprises and work side-by-side as partners in their success,” said Mitchell. “This is our third acquisition within the past two months. Despite the ongoing pandemic, Argonaut is actively reviewing opportunities and looks forward to completing more transactions.”

Simmons Energy, a division of Piper Sandler, served as the exclusive M&A investment banker to BJ Services.

By working with business owners on this initiative, FLEETCOR will play a role in combating climate change, while also helping small and medium-sized businesses reach environmentally-conscious customers,” said Keagan Russo, senior vice president, Fuelman. “We’re seeing more businesses start to build and implement better sustainability practices, and this launch with GreenPrint further emphasizes FLEETCOR’s efforts to do our part.”

The new Fuelman Clean Advantage Card offers a suite of core fuel card benefits including customizable card controls and alerts, online account management, detailed fuel & tax reporting, and 24/7 Roadside Assistance, while also offering an affordable, turnkey solution for environmentally conscious fleets. Cardholders will also have access to annual independently audited carbon offset reporting and related sustainability marketing materials.

“FLEETCOR has long been a leader in helping fleets transition to a more sustainable future, and this new card continues our support of FLEETCOR’s environmental initiatives,” said Pete Davis, CEO of GreenPrint. “Countless research shows most consumers would switch to brands supporting a good cause, so now is the time for fleet owners to embrace carbon neutrality.”
