LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#chineseoilandgas--The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a substantial toll on the transportation, automotive, and oil and gas industry due to national lockdowns and new remote work systems. The Chinese oil and gas industry was among the first to be impacted, being the first geographical region to be affected, and the virus's widespread nature. The economic impact has led to a reduction in prices, reduced automotive usage, and changed consumers’ traveling and expense patterns, taking a further toll on the industry. Therefore, top industry players are now aiming to forecast and prepare for changes in demand in the post-COVID era and making necessary changes within their supply chains, inventory, and cash flow strategies to achieve a strong recovery after this crisis. Infiniti’s market potential analysis helps companies in the Chinese oil and gas industry analyze the expected demand in the post-COVID era and make the necessary adjustments to achieve operational excellence.

  • Upgrade by two notches to ‘B’ from ‘CCC+’
  • Οverall upgrade of the long-term credit rating to ‘B’ from ‘B-‘
  • Expects a substantial increase in EBITDA

ATHENS, Greece--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In its annual research update released on 27 November 2020, S&P upgraded PPC’s stand-alone credit profile (SACP) upward by two notches to ‘B’ from ‘CCC+’, resulting in an overall upgrade of the long-term credit rating of PPC to ‘B’ from ‘B-‘.


According to S&P the two notch upgrade in PPC’s standalone corporate rating confirms that the Company’s strategic repositioning and the improved Greek energy market fundamentals have transformed its competitive position, reducing past concerns over its liquidity and long-term sustainability.

The ‘Stable’ outlook underscores S&P’s expectation that PPC will continue to deliver on its transformation plan, with solid liquidity and improved margins. PPC’s strategic plan to convert its generation mix toward lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions improve its fleet competitiveness and long-term prospects.

As mentioned in their report, S&P expects a substantial increase in EBITDA and improvement in credit metrics on the back of higher profitability as PPC accelerates the closure of its lignite generation plants and shifts its competitive position in the retail market.

CPUC Approves Most Aspects of 2020 General Rate Case Multi-Party Settlement Agreement Reached in 2019

Investments Include Efforts to Further Reduce Customer Impacts of Public Safety Power Shutoffs

Company Proposes Cost Savings Initiatives to Help Reduce Customer Costs

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved most aspects of a multi-party settlement agreement between Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E or the Utility) and customer advocacy, labor and safety groups that resolved PG&E’s 2020-2022 General Rate Case (GRC), which includes the Utility’s ongoing efforts to reduce wildfire risk and to continue delivering safe and reliable service to customers.

The GRC decision enables necessary investment in PG&E’s electric and gas distribution systems and power generation infrastructure, including investments to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires through electric system hardening, enhanced vegetation management, system automation, and asset inspection and repair.

The GRC also enables PG&E to continue its efforts to make Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events smaller in size, shorter in duration and smarter in execution. Those efforts include devices that limit the size of outages to impact fewer customers; temporary generators to provide power to essential services and communities that would otherwise be shut off for safety; crews for inspection and restoration efforts; and customer notifications in 13 languages that provide estimates about when power will be shut off and restored.

“The safety of our customers and communities we are privileged to serve is where everything begins for PG&E. It’s our most important responsibility. We want to work to exceed our customers’ expectations when it comes to safely and reliably delivering clean energy, reducing wildfire risk in an ever-changing climate, and building a safe and sustainable energy system. We are pleased that today’s action by the Commission approves much of the negotiated multi-party settlement, which allows us to continue those efforts and underscores our commitment to the 16 million people we serve,” said Robert Kenney, PG&E Vice President, Regulatory and External Affairs.

Reducing Wildfire Risk

Among the important wildfire safety investments funded by the GRC are the following components of PG&E’s Community Wildfire Safety Program:

  • Installing stronger and more resilient poles and covered power lines in high fire-risk areas;
  • Increasing ongoing work to keep power lines clear of branches from an estimated 120 million trees with the potential to grow or fall into overhead power lines, including annual vegetation inspection of approximately 81,000 miles of high-voltage electric distribution lines;
  • Implementing SmartMeter™ technology to more quickly identify and respond to fallen power lines;
  • Expanding the network of weather stations to enhance weather forecasting and modeling by adding 1,300 new stations in high fire-risk areas by 2022; and
  • Installing nearly 600 new high-definition wildfire detection cameras in high fire-threat areas, increasing coverage across these areas to more than 90 percent.

While the 2020 GRC will help fund a series of important safety investments, it will not fund legal claims resulting from the 2017 and 2018 Northern California wildfires. It also will not fund any PG&E Corporation or Utility officer compensation.

With the CPUC approval of the settlement agreement, the average monthly bill for a typical residential electric and gas customer will increase by $13.44 a month. This includes $10.40 for electric and $3.05 for gas service. The 2020 GRC rate change, which incorporates bill impacts for 2020 and 2021, will be effective March 1, 2021 and will impact rates until Dec 31, 2022.

”PG&E’s commitment is to keep customer costs as low as possible while meeting our responsibilities to safely serve our customers, even as our changing climate presents significant new challenges and risks,” Kenney said.

Cost Savings Initiatives to Help Reduce Customer Costs

To help reduce customer costs, PG&E has identified an estimated average savings of $1 billion per year in operational costs through 2025 from various cost savings initiatives. Cost savings initiatives include the sale of PG&E’s San Francisco General Office headquarters and move to Oakland, sale of surplus property, sale of excess renewable energy, renegotiation of Power Purchase Agreements, strategic sourcing, and workforce management. These savings will help moderate the expected increase in customer bills to support infrastructure investment.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Denmark Offshore Oil and Gas Decommissioning Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The offshore oil and gas decommissioning market in Denmark is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 6% during the forecast period of 2020-2025.

The maturing offshore fields and aging wells are moving towards the dry phase, driving the market of well decommissioning. With the increase in restrictive regulations, and the rising associated cost of operating aging platforms, the focus of operators on offshore decommissioning is increasing at a significant rate. On the other hand, the ongoing global pandemic of COVID-19 is likely to affect different operations and businesses and is expected to restrain the market growth.

With declining offshore fields in shallow water, the decommissioning of wells and platforms in shallow water are expected to dominate the market.

The European Union is shifting towards renewable energy, resulting in a decline in the share of oil and gas. Additionally, in the future, deepwater fields are expected to undergo dry phase. With these opportunities in the decommissioning market are expected to grow.

Abandonment of wells is expected to drive the market significantly. A large number of wells in the North Sea are expected to be abandoned during the forecast period.

Key Market Trends

Shallow Water Projects to Dominate the Market

Most of the shallow fields in Denmark are under the declining phase, which is expected to create demand for decommissioning services in shallow water.

  • It is also estimated that during the period of 2017-2025, more than 200 platforms forecast for complete or partial removal, close to 2,500 wells expected to be plugged and abandoned, driving the decommissioning market considerably.
  • At least 23 platforms a year are expected to be retired in the North Sea alone, which are expected to drive the demand of well decommissioning during the forecast report.
  • The number of maturing oil and gas facilities, including platforms, subsea wells, and other related assets, is increasing at a steady rate. Hence, the increase in the number of aging oilfields is likely to increase well-decommissioning activities in shallow water.
  • Owing to the declining crude oil production from 157 thousand barrels per day in 2015 to 103 thousand barrels per day in 2019, majorly due to maturing shallow wells, the demand for decommissioning services in shallow water is expected to grow.

Plug and Abandonment Operations to Dominate the Market

The well plugging & abandonment segment is expected to be the largest market, by service during the forecast period. This growth is evident owing to crucial activity to be performed regardless of decommissioning type; it ensures that oil wells do not have any kind of leakage after the cessation of production.

  • In April 2020, the Danish Hydrocarbon Research & Technology Center (DHRTC) is started up a new research and innovation program with a focus on the abandonment of oil and gas fields.
  • In 2018, Maersk Drilling and Maersk Supply Service established a joint venture company focused on the decommissioning market. According to Maersk Drilling, an increasing amount of offshore oil and gas fields are approaching the end of their economic life, and, in the North Sea alone, more than 400 fields are expected to cease production by 2026 at an estimated cost of $56 billion.
  • Due to the aging of gas fields, gas production is showing a continuous decline in Denmark from 4.8 bcm in 2015 to 3.2 bcm in 2019. With the drying of gas fields, well abandonment services are likely to grow during the forecast period.

Competitive Landscape

The Denmark offshore oil and gas decommissioning market is consolidated. Some of the major companies include Bureau Veritas SA., Bureau Veritas SA, AF Gruppen ASA, A.P. Moeller Maersk A/S, and Saipem S.p.A.

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


The bunker fuel market in Europe is expected to grow at CAGR of more than 10% during the forecast period of 2020-2025

The increasing preference of LNG-based vessels and growing LNG trade is a significant factor in driving the demand for bunker fuels in Europe during the forecast period. Additionally, increasing maritime export and import in countries like Germany and the United Kingdom, considerable growth is anticipated in the coming years. However, the recent outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly affected the consumption of bunker fuel. With the closure of international and domestic trade movements to curb the spread of the virus, the demand for bunker fuel is expected to decline during the pandemic.

  • With the implementation of IMO regulations, the share of very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) is expected to increase, replacing high sulfur fuel oil in the forecast period.
  • Low sulfur fuel oil and LNG are expected to create ample opportunities for the market players. Due to the increasing environmental concerns, the demand for cleaner fuel is increasing.
  • Germany being one of the biggest nations in the container shipping sector globally, is leading the market of bunker fuel. With the expected growth in trade, the nation is likely to continue its dominance during the forecast period.

Key Market Trends

VLSFO to Witness Significant Growth

Marine fuel containing less than 0.5% of sulfur is generally termed as very-low sulfur fuel oil. From January 1, 2020, HSFO can only be used in ships having scrubbers installed to reduce the emissions, which will drive the demand of VLSFO.

  • Most of the high-sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) bunker fuel market is expected to be shortly replaced by low-sulfur alternatives. Most of the VLSFO available in the market is blended from residual and distillate components, which are blended with various cutters of varying sulfur and viscosity to create an on-specification product.
  • VLSFO has become extremely popular in Rotterdam, Europe's largest bunker port. In November 2019, half of all sales were for VLSFO. The demand for VLSFO declined after January 2020 due to global supply chain disruptions, a decrease in demand for general goods and products, lockdown implementation in most of the countries, and a global economic slowdown.
  • Some of the significant bunker fuel suppliers have been expanding their presence for suppling low sulfur bunker fuel, following the imposition of IMO 2020. For instance, the Spanish energy producer, Repsol, has expanded the locations in Spain where it can offer very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO).
  • Spain has 34 operative ports. In 2019, the port of Barcelona reported 1103 TEUs of port traffic. Post COVID-19, the trade is likely to grow, driving the demand of VLSFO.
  • The demand for VLSFO is likely to recover at a significant rate after mid-2021. Post-2020, the demand is expected to rise on account of the opening of all the trade routes and relative price rise.

Germany to Dominate the Market

In an aim to reduce carbon emissions by 2030, Germany has been slowly moving towards LNG bunkering over recent years. In October 2019, Nauticor conducted the first ship-to-ship LNG bunkering operation at the Elbehafen Brunsbuttel, part of Brunsbuttel Ports, Germany.

  • About 90% of all merchandise from Germany is transported by ship. The implication of IMO 2020, from January 2020, has led the shift to low sulfur content fuel or installing scrubbers to reduce emissions. The conversion to LNG fueled ship is restricted to newly made ships owing to the higher modification costs for an engine replacement.
  • As of 2019, Germany owns a total of 2,672 vessels, with the capacity of 96,532,360 Dead-weight tonnage (DWT), which makes around 4.92% of the total world fleet in terms of DWT.

Paul D. McKinney, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, commented, “We are excited to end the year drilling on our NWS properties where we can generate exceptional rates-of-return greater than 90% at prevailing oil and natural gas prices. After drilling the Badger #6XH, the drilling rig will move to another horizontal San Andres location currently under construction with plans to drill another well after the New Year. These wells will be paid for out of cash surplus currently on hand.” Mr. McKinney continued by commenting, “We have added more to our hedge position for 2021.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Norway Offshore Oil & Gas Decommissioning Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The Norway offshore oil & gas decommissioning market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 1.5% over the forecast period.

When oil and gas fields end production, their facilities need to be removed and disposed off or recycled, a process is known as decommissioning. Decommissioning of offshore structures is a highly complex and technical exercise that poses significant health and safety challenges. The process encompasses the planning, approval, implementation, removal, and disposal or re-use of an offshore structure. Factors such as maturing oil & gas fields, low oil prices, and aging infrastructure are driving Norway offshore oil & gas decommissioning market. However, volatile oil prices are likely to restrain the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Topsides segment is expected to dominate in the Norway offshore oil & gas decommissioning market during the forecast period. Innovative technology for landscape reversal and an increasing amount of investments in the oil & gas industry is expected to provide opportunities in the target market in the future. Increasing offshore oil & gas production activities and aging infrastructure is expected to drive the Norway offshore decommissioning market over the forecast period.

Key Market Trends

Topsides Segment is Expected to Dominate the Market

Offshore decommissioning refers to ending oil & gas operations on offshore platforms and restoring marine life and seafloor to its pre-production conditions.

  • Norway is expected to have an extensive decommissioning portfolio over the ten-year window and is having a significant share in global decommissioning expenditure.
  • Overall, 417 wells are expected to be decommissioned in Norway over the next decade. Among them, 313 are platform well and 104 are subsea well. Norway expects to decommission an average of 25 wells per year up until 2024 peaking up to 94 wells in 2025.
  • Around 154,598 tonnes of topsides are expected to be removed throughout the Norway Sea over the next ten years. Whereas, around 77,129 tonnes of the substructure is expected to be decommissioned throughout the Norway sea region over the next decade. Hence, the topsides segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period.

Increasing Offshore Oil and Gas Activities and Aging Infrastructure to Drive the Market

The North Sea is endowed with a thriving oil and gas industry which has benefited the surrounding nations and their economies for many years and will for many more to come. Norway covers around 20% of North Sea fields.

  • Norway's oil and gas production is dominated by offshore exploration and production. According to Baker Hughes, Norway's offshore rig count was 17 in May 2020.
  • Norway is an important supplier of oil and gas to the global market, and almost all oil and gas produced on the Norwegian shelf are exported. Therefore, a rise in demand for oil and gas is expected to boost oil and gas production over the forecast period.

The market is driven by the shift in the automotive industry to EVs. In addition, the declining costs of battery storage systems is anticipated to boost the growth of the Battery Separator Market.

The rising environmental concerns and increased GHG emissions have compelled several countries to rethink the use of fossil fuels in the transportation sector. Electric vehicles (EVs) are the only possible replacement for fossil-powered vehicles. Thus, several countries are introducing directives to moderate the shift in the automotive industry from diesel and petrol vehicles to EVs. The increasing sales of EVs are driving the demand for batteries, which will significantly contribute to the growth of the battery separator market during the forecast period.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sunnova Energy International Inc. (“Sunnova”) (NYSE: NOVA), one of the leading U.S. residential solar and storage service providers, announced today it closed its securitization of leases and power purchase agreements on November 30, 2020.

“We are pleased to report the closing of our most successful asset backed securitization to date,“ said William J. (John) Berger, Chief Executive Officer of Sunnova. “Being able to deliver a securitization with the highest combined advance rate and lowest blended yield for a securitization in company history is a direct result of our proven track record, well-capitalized corporate balance sheet, strong recurring long-term contracted cashflows and focus on providing best-in-class customer service. This securitization further suggests a discount rate of PV4 on our Net Contracted Customer Value as it drives our all-in cost of capital even lower, further bolsters our cashflows and positions Sunnova to continue its exceptional growth into the new year and beyond.”

The two-tranche securitization includes $209.1 million in A- (sf) rated 2.73% notes at a 78.0% advance rate and $45.6 million in subordinated BB- (sf) rated 5.47% notes at a 17.0% advance rate. Advance rates are calculated relative to the securitization share of the aggregate discounted solar asset balance.

The notes are backed by a diverse portfolio of over 13,000 solar rooftop systems distributed across 19 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The weighted average customer FICO score of the related customers at the time of origination is 741. Sunnova used the proceeds from the sale of the notes for the repayment of one or more currently existing financing arrangements of Sunnova’s subsidiaries and intends to use the remaining proceeds for the payment of expenses related to the offering of the notes and for general corporate purposes.

Credit Suisse was the sole structuring agent and bookrunner for the securitization.

In addition, Sunnova announced today the closing of its underwritten public offering (the “equity offering”) of 7,000,000 shares of Sunnova’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), which consists of 3,500,000 shares of common stock offered by Sunnova and 3,500,000 shares of common stock offered by a fund affiliated with Newlight Partners (the “Selling Stockholder”) at a price to the public of $37.00 per share. The equity offering included a 30-day option for the underwriters to purchase an additional 525,000 shares of common stock from each of Sunnova and the Selling Stockholder, which the underwriters exercised in connection with the closing of the equity offering.

The net proceeds from the sale of shares of the common stock in the equity offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by Sunnova, were approximately $142.6 million. Sunnova did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholder in the equity offering. Sunnova intends to use the net proceeds from the equity offering to acquire solar equipment, for the repayment of indebtedness, including to redeem approximately $39.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 9.75% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “convertible senior notes”), excluding accrued and unpaid interest, and for working capital purposes.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, J.P. Morgan and Credit Suisse acted as joint book-running managers of the equity offering. Baird, Roth Capital Partners, Simmons Energy | A Division of Piper Sandler, B. Riley Securities, JMP Securities, KeyBanc Capital Markets and Raymond James acted as co-managers.
