SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ElectricVehicles--KCC Co., Ltd., was selected as the ‘Global Hidden Champion 2020’ for Korea. Global Hidden Champions is a project led by the Korean Ministry of SMEs and Startups to discover small and medium-sized enterprises with innovative power and growth potential and develop them into export leaders.
Established in 1992, KCC has spent 28 years focused on the development of hydraulic and pneumatic parts and technologies. At the time of its foundation, the valve market in Korea was completely controlled by Japanese, German, and U.S. companies. “It hurt my pride. I wanted to localize key parts by any means available and reduce dependence on imported products,” said Dukgyu Park, CEO of KCC.
For that reason, he has invested over 10% of the company’s sales revenue in R&D. With its management philosophy that “quality is pride,” KCC established the Hydraulic and Pneumatic Pressure R&D Center in 2004. In addition, all employees must complete 50 hours of external training each year.
Hydraulic and pneumatic parts, which rely on oil pressure and air pressure, respectively, are used in machinery and automated products including cylinders, buttons, paddles, and grabs. These parts are mainly found in excavators and machine tools. In line with future industrial trends, KCC has established its own lineup of facilities to produce secondary cells for electric vehicles and drones, etc.
The company’s R&D efforts have borne fruit. In 2007, KCC began exporting pneumatic solenoid valves to Japan. Additionally, KCC won recognition for the reliability of its products from the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials and became the only company in the industry to be selected as an autonomous procurement supplier of POSCO. KCC has obtained dozens of patents, such as for a gripper/gripper sensor detection unit, a vacuum pad system, a solenoid valve, and a valve-integrated mechatronics cylinder system. KCC has also achieved various qualifications and certifications for domestic product supply and export, including R Mark, CE Certification, a Blast Valve Performance Certificate, and maintenance certification from five power generating companies.
KCC operates factories in Gunpo and Daegu, with its head office located in Seoul. KCC is a global hidden champion that has built not only a domestic sales network, but a global one extending beyond the Asian markets of Japan, China, Thailand, and Indonesia to Iran and Turkey.

Expansion of the Chinese Naval Fleet in Critical Regions will be a Key Market Trend
China has been focusing on its naval fleet expansion since the announcement by the Chinese President in 2012 on making China a maritime superpower. The expansion of its naval fleet by China is encouraging the country to prove its dominance in critical regions, such as the disputed South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. In July 2019, China held military exercises in the South China Sea, which is the world's most critical seaborne trade route. Furthermore, in May 2019, China announced the deployment of a coastguard vessel in the South China Sea to monitor the Parcel Islands. These activities undertaken by China in the South China Sea are compelling countries such as the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam to focus on the strengthening of their own naval fleets. Thus, the aggressive expansion of its naval fleet by China in critical regions is likely to augment the growth of the global maritime security market during the forecast period.

SAN DIEGO & CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EDF Renewables North America (EDFR) and Geenex Solar, LLC (Geenex), today announced the close of an agreement of up to 4.5 gigawatt (GWac) pipeline of solar development assets throughout PJM. The pipeline acquisition brings to EDF Renewables the regional development expertise of Geenex, a leader of utility-scale solar development, while EDFR contributes with its financial and late-stage development expertise from a long-term owner and operator perspective. The transaction will accelerate EDFR growth in the PJM wholesale electricity market to meet the growing demands of corporate and utility customers seeking cost-effective renewable energy sources.
Founded in 2012, Geenex is a skilled developer of greenfield utility-scale solar projects ranging in size from 20 megawatt (MW) to more than 400 MW. The team is experienced in all aspects of project development including site evaluation, land acquisition, facility and interconnection engineering, environmental analysis, as well as federal, state and local permitting. In a relatively short time, Geenex has successfully expanded its business by working with the financial team at New Energy Capital. This has allowed them to triple the number of employees and build a development pipeline that has led to over 1.9 GW of solar development sales prior to this transaction.
“Having an industry leader such as EDFR recognize the strength and value of Geenex-developed projects is quite a testimony to the hard work of the Geenex Solar team,” commented Georg Veit, CEO of Geenex. “Our regional approach has enabled us to build a competitive development pipeline of over 20 projects in the PJM market. We are excited by the opportunity to build out this solar pipeline with a development partner such as EDFR. They share our vision on local engagement and long-term commitment to projects that will provide valuable economic benefits for our landowners and our communities.”`
EDF Renewables was introduced to Geenex through the development and construction of the Pecan and Gutenberg solar projects in 2015. “We were initially impressed with the team’s development expertise and distinguished high quality of solar assets,” said Hanson Wood, Vice President, Strategic Development Initiatives, EDF Renewables. “Their regional approach is particularly attractive as they enter markets early and foster strong and deep relationships with the local community. Geenex, as the largest holder of development assets in PJM market, enables EDF Renewables to expand into over five key states where solar is poised to be a market leading technology.”
Jefferies Financial Group served as exclusive financial advisor to Geenex. “It was a real pleasure working alongside Geenex over the course of the last year to support them in achieving their objective of identifying a partner that could bring to bear complimentary skillsets and capabilities. EDF Renewables stood out as a highly dedicated and thoughtful partner throughout this process despite the challenges associated with COVID-19,” said Georges Arbache, Senior Vice President at Jefferies’ Power, Utilities and Infrastructure practice.
The portfolio of project assets in the transaction exceed 20 solar projects in various stages of development. The first projects expect commercial operation in 2023 with other projects to follow.

Temporary Generation and Line Sectionalizing Devices Reduced Number of Customers Who Needed to be De-energized by Approximately 12,000
40 Community Resource Centers Providing Water, Restrooms, Device Charging and More
PG&E Partnering with Community-Based Organizations to Assist Customers with Medical, Financial, Language and Aging Needs Before, During and After PSPS events
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With an ongoing Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) event that could have affected about 53,000 customers, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) continued Thursday to focus on safety, monitor the weather, and support our customers recognizing the hardship that a PSPS represents.
Here are some updates on the weather, the event, and how customers are being supported.
Oct. 14-16 Public Safety Power Shutoff
About 53,000 customers in 24 counties were within the original forecasted PSPS footprint. Due to some improving weather conditions and deployment of technology, only about 41,000 were de-energized. This includes 4,000 customers in the Southern Sierra who had been told that they would be de-energized today have now been told that more favorable weather means that they won’t lose power during the PSPS event.
Before the event began, PG&E was able to reduce the impact of the PSPS event by keeping about 12,000 customers energized through temporary and permanent generation, off-grid service, and by using devices that split or sectionalize power lines, which allows more precise de-energization. PG&E’s goal this year is to reduce the number of customers affected by a PSPS event by one-third compared to last year.
In some locations, the severe weather subsided enough during the day for PG&E’s Meteorology team to issue an “all clear,” meaning that electric crews could begin patrols of power lines as the first step toward restoration. Once de-energized for a PSPS event, power lines must be visually inspected to ensure that no wind-driven damage or hazards such as tree limbs entwined in lines exist. Once inspected, the lines can be energized, restoring service to customers. As of 6 p.m. today, PG&E restored about 8,000 customers who had been de-energized for this event with an expectation that another 2,000 customers could be restored tonight.
PG&E expects that the “all clear” will be issued in all remaining areas of the PSPS footprint Friday morning, which means more than 1,000 PG&E employees will be on the ground or in more than 40 helicopters to conduct line patrols and restore customers. The majority of customers affected by this PSPS event are expected to be restored by late Friday.
Community Resource Centers
To support our customers during this PSPS event, PG&E opened 40 Community Resource Centers (CRCs) that operate from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. throughout the event. These temporary CRCs will be open to customers when power is out at their homes and will provide ADA-accessible restrooms, hand-washing stations, medical-equipment charging, Wi-Fi, bottled water, grab-and-go bags, and non-perishable snacks.
Many of these CRCs opened Wednesday afternoon and all were open on Thursday. As of this afternoon, about 1,500 customers visited a CRC.
PG&E updates its CRC locations regularly. Click here for updates.
Support for Customers with Medical Needs
PG&E is also partnering with 47 community-based organizations (CBOs) to assist customers with medical, financial, language, and aging needs before, during, and after PSPS events. These activities include:
Details about these resources are at our website at pge.com/disabilityandaging
Also, as of Oct. 14, PG&E provided a total of 1,244 portable batteries to customers to support backup power, including:
During this Oct. 14-16 PSPS event, PG&E’s partners have engaged proactively or reactively with nearly 2,400 individuals. Through Thursday afternoon, 119 customers have used batteries provided by the CFILC and 34 hotel stays have been coordinated.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Permianville Royalty Trust (NYSE: PVL, the “Trust”) today announced the net profits interest calculation for October 2020. The net profits interest calculation represents reported oil production for the month of July 2020 and reported natural gas production during June 2020. The calculation includes accrued costs incurred in August 2020.
This month, there was a continued rebound in the reported oil volumes, which partly reflects a return of previously deferred sales and shut-in production by some of the operators of the oil and gas properties underlying the Trust (the “Underlying Properties”). Excluding prior net profits interest shortfalls, income from the distributable net profits interest this month would have been approximately $0.1 million, or $0.0042 per unit. As a result of the cumulative outstanding net profits shortfall of approximately $2.4 million, however, no distribution will be paid to the Trust’s unitholders of record on October 30, 2020 in November 2020. Distributions to the Trust will resume once the cumulative net profits shortfall, which now totals approximately $2.2 million, is eliminated.
The following table displays reported underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average received wellhead prices attributable to the current and prior month recorded net profits interest calculations. The amounts in the table have not been adjusted to reflect temporarily delayed sales and shut-in oil volumes discussed below.

Recorded oil cash receipts from the Underlying Properties totaled $1.9 million for the current month on realized wellhead prices of $35.70/Bbl, up $0.4 million from the prior month distribution period. Based on current data for the Underlying Properties, COERT Holdings 1 LLC (the “Sponsor”) indicates that production and cash receipts continue to normalize.
Recorded natural gas cash receipts from the Underlying Properties totaled $0.6 million for the current month, an increase of $0.3 million from the prior month’s distribution period, due in part to the receipt of proceeds from the sales of prior months’ production.
Total accrued operating expenses for the period were $2.3 million, a $0.8 million increase month-over-month from September 2020 primarily due to the increase in recorded production. Capital expenditures increased $0.4 million from the prior month.
The remaining cumulative shortfall in net profits for the prior months will be deducted from any net profits in next month’s net profits interest calculation. At this time based on current commodity prices, the Sponsor anticipates that the Underlying Properties will continue to generate positive net profits to reduce the cumulative shortfall before returning to monthly distributions again.
About Permianville Royalty Trust
Permianville Royalty Trust is a Delaware statutory trust formed to own a net profits interest representing the right to receive 80% of the net profits from the sale of oil and natural gas production from certain, predominantly non-operated, oil and gas properties in the states of Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico. As described in the Trust’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the amount of the periodic distributions is expected to fluctuate, depending on the proceeds received by the Trust as a result of actual production volumes, oil and gas prices, the amount and timing of capital expenditures, and the Trust’s administrative expenses, among other factors. Future distributions are expected to be made on a monthly basis. For additional information on the Trust, please visit www.permianvilleroyaltytrust.com.
Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements
This press release contains statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this press release, other than statements of historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions. These forward-looking statements include the amount and date of any anticipated distribution to unitholders, expected expenses, including capital expenditures, and expectations regarding the ability of the Underlying Properties to continue to generate positive net profits before returning to monthly distributions. The anticipated distribution is based, in large part, on the amount of cash received or expected to be received by the Trust from the Sponsor with respect to the relevant period. The amount of such cash received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions) has been and will continue to be directly affected by the volatility in commodity prices, which have declined since the beginning of 2020 in response to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the dispute over production levels between Russia and the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, including Saudi Arabia, resulting in an oversupply of crude oil and exacerbating the decline in crude oil prices, and could remain low for an extended period of time. Continued low oil and natural gas prices will reduce profits to which the Trust is entitled, which will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders and in certain periods could result in no distributions to unitholders. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include expenses of the Trust, reserves for anticipated future expenses and the effect, impact, potential duration or other implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, future monthly capital expenditures may exceed the average levels experienced in 2019 and prior periods. Statements made in this press release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in this press release. Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee intends, and neither assumes any obligation, to update any of the statements included in this press release. An investment in units issued by the Trust is subject to the risks described in the Trust’s filings with the SEC, including the risks described in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020, and the Trust’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on August 7, 2020. The Trust’s quarterly and other filed reports are or will be available over the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Schlumberger CEO Olivier Le Peuch commented, “Our results in the third quarter clearly demonstrate our focus on execution, returns, and customer performance. Margins expanded sequentially while pretax segment operating income and adjusted EBITDA grew 45% and 21%, respectively, highlighting notable progress in the reset of our earnings power and further demonstrating our execution capabilities as we transition to our new organization.
“Through this cycle, we are leading technology innovation for our customers and reinventing ourselves to deliver a return above our cost of capital through the combination of capital stewardship, margin expansion, and free cash flow generation.
“In North America, we have exhibited capital discipline, and are high-grading and rationalizing our portfolio, with a focus on reduced volatility of earnings and less capital-intensive businesses as demonstrated by two key milestones we achieved during the quarter. The first is the agreement to combine our OneStim® pressure pumping business with Liberty Oilfield Services Inc. The second is an agreement to divest our low-flow artificial lift business in a cash transaction.
“Internationally, our fit-for-basin approach continues to extend our leadership position built on the largest and most diverse footprint in the industry. Despite the rig count decline during the quarter, we have experienced significant new technology uptake, achieved new performance benchmarks for our customers, and captured higher performance incentives on multiple projects. In addition, our international business continues to generate resilient, accretive margins and significant free cash flow. Upon the close of the two North America transactions, we expect our international revenue to represent more than 80% of consolidated revenue, up from an average of approximately 65% over the past decade. The combination of our fit-for-basin strategy, digital technology innovation, and scale puts us in the best position to leverage the anticipated shift of spending growth toward the international market.
“Third-quarter revenue declined 2% sequentially, as North America revenue was 2% lower and international revenue declined 1%. In North America land, increased completions activity on drilled but uncompleted (DUC) wells was offset by reduced drilling in US land. North America offshore was affected by reduced rig activity, lower multiclient seismic license sales, and hurricane disruption.
“International revenue was driven by higher activity in Latin America, boosted by the resumption of production in our Asset Performance Solutions (APS) projects in Ecuador and increased seasonal summer activity in the North Sea and Russia. These increases were offset by the effects of rig count declines and extended COVID-19 disruptions in Africa and in the Middle East & Asia.

“Sequentially, by business segment, third-quarter Production revenue increased 12%, driven by the gradual recovery in DUC well completions activity in US land and the resumption of APS production in Ecuador, which was further boosted by digital technology, improving project performance and efficiency. Reservoir Characterization, Drilling, and Cameron decreased 4%, 12%, and 5%, respectively, due to lower WesternGeco® multiclient seismic license sales, the US land drilling activity decline, hurricane disruption in the US Gulf of Mexico, and persistent COVID-19 disruptions internationally.
“Our cost-reduction program, which will permanently remove $1.5 billion of structural costs on an annual basis, is progressing well. We expect to realize the vast majority of these savings as we exit this year. This represents a critical step toward our intermediate goal of restoring 2019 adjusted EBITDA margins before the end of 2021.
“I am extremely proud of our operational and financial performance during the quarter, as we continue to build the foundation of our future success.
“As we look to the fourth quarter, we expect to continue to benefit from the effectiveness of our strategy, disciplined approach to North America, and broad strength of our international business, as reflected in our third-quarter results. In North America, the conditions are set for continued momentum, with improving DUC well completion activity in US land and a modest drilling resumption in the US and Canada. International activity is steady following the budget resets completed in the third quarter and activity will be affected by the seasonal decline in the Northern Hemisphere, partly offset by muted year-end product and multiclient license sales.
“Overall internationally, we view the next two quarters as a period of transition for our industry at the trough of this cycle. Improving demand recovery supported by various government measures to stimulate economic activity and continued supply discipline from the major producers set the conditions for a long-term activity rebound. However, while the global lockdowns are evolving and vaccine development is progressing, the near-term recovery remains fragile owing to potential subsequent waves of COVID-19 that could pose a significant risk to this outlook.
“Therefore, in this flattening near-term activity outlook, we will continue to execute on a path toward restoring our 2019 adjusted EBITDA margins and generating robust free cash flow—through our restructuring measures, the high-grading of our portfolio, and the further strengthening of our broad international portfolio.
“As our industry emerges from this trough, the ability to deliver new performance benchmarks—to innovate and collaborate in every basin—will define success for the coming decades. Schlumberger will lead this innovation and the path to recovery. Our performance and returns-focused strategy will allow us to capitalize upon the emerging growth cycle and deliver industry-leading returns, through our capital stewardship, fit-for-basin technology, digital leadership, and a unique talent pool supporting our global execution. In addition, we are accelerating the expansion of our New Energy portfolio as we develop avenues to contribute to the sustainable energy mix of the future, leveraging our technology, expertise, and execution platform to reduce our environmental impacts while helping our customers reach their environmental goals.
“The crisis has served as a catalyst for reinventing Schlumberger. We are executing our performance strategy and are determined to continue taking bold actions to secure resilience and reposition ourselves as clear leaders—both in performance measured by our customers and in returns measured by our shareholders.”

North America
North America area consolidated revenue of $1.2 billion was 2% lower sequentially. On land, an uptick in DUC well completions was partially offset by reduced drilling activity. OneStim fracturing revenue grew on higher fleet utilization driven by a US-market stage count increase of more than 30% as customers worked on their DUCs in the Permian and in the resilient gas basins in the Haynesville. Land drilling activity was lower as the average US land rig count declined 29% sequentially, though the rig count had increased slightly by quarter end. In addition, sales in Surface Systems and Valves & Process Systems, mainly on land, decreased sequentially due to reduced drilling activity. North America offshore revenue decreased 13% sequentially due to the combination of reduced rig count, lower WesternGeco multiclient seismic license sales, and hurricane disruption.
International
Consolidated revenue in the Latin America area of $707 million increased 30% sequentially, primarily due to the resumption of production in our APS projects in Ecuador. Argentina revenue increased as activity rebounded following the easing of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions while revenue in both Mexico and Brazil declined.
Europe/CIS/Africa area consolidated revenue of $1.4 billion decreased 4% sequentially as increased seasonal summer activity in the North Sea and Russia was offset by rig count declines and extended COVID-19 disruptions in Africa and the Caspian region. Resilient activity in Russia and the North Sea was driven by summer drilling and pressure pumping activity campaigns, partially offset by disruptions and delays in Kazakhstan and in Sakhalin. The seasonal activity increase in the Northern Hemisphere, however, was offset by a significant drop in activity in Sub-Sahara Africa from COVID-19 disruptions, reduced rig count, and project delays.
Consolidated revenue in the Middle East & Asia area of $2.0 billion decreased 7% sequentially, primarily due to extended COVID-19 disruptions and project delays in Asia and as customers reduced spending and activity due to budget adjustments, particularly in the Middle East.

Reservoir Characterization revenue of $1.0 billion, 85% of which came from the international markets, decreased 4% sequentially. North America and international revenues declined 14% and 2%, respectively. This was mainly due to lower WesternGeco multiclient seismic license sales in North America offshore. Revenue was also lower in the Middle East due to reduced WesternGeco activity as a result of a completed project and lower Testing Services activity due to project cancellations and delays. Sequentially, Wireline activity was essentially flat while Software Integrated Solutions (SIS) revenue was higher.
Reservoir Characterization pretax operating margin of 17% contracted 90 basis points (bps) sequentially due to lower sales of WesternGeco multiclient seismic licenses, which impacted North America margin, while international margin was flat sequentially.

Drilling revenue of $1.5 billion, 83% of which came from the international markets, decreased 12% sequentially. North America and international revenues declined 16% and 11%, respectively. The revenue decline in North America was primarily due to lower activity in US land as rig count dropped 29%, along with rig count reductions and activity disruptions in the US Gulf of Mexico due to a more active hurricane season. In addition, extended COVID-19 disruptions caused drilling activities to be suspended or deferred in several international GeoMarkets.
Sequentially, Drilling pretax operating margin of 10% was essentially flat, despite the significant revenue decline. Margin was resilient both in North America and internationally supported by prompt cost reduction measures.

Production revenue of $1.8 billion, 74% of which came from the international markets, increased 12% sequentially. North America and international revenues increased 13% and 11%, respectively. This was driven primarily by the gradual recovery in DUC well completions activity in US land and the resumption of APS production in Ecuador, which was further boosted by digital technology, improving project performance and efficiency. OneStim revenue grew more than 50% sequentially as US-market stage counts increased by more than 30%. Artificial Lift Solutions revenue increased, also benefitting from the US land recovery. These increases were offset by international declines in Well Services and Completions revenue, resulting from lower spending and activity due to customer budget adjustments, particularly in the Middle East, and from extended COVID-19 lockdown disruption across several GeoMarkets.
Production pretax operating margin of 13% expanded by 1,107 bps sequentially, posting a 108% incremental operating margin. The margin expansion was due to the resumption of production in our APS projects in Ecuador and improved profitability across each of Completions, Artificial Lift Solutions, and Well Services, supported by cost reduction measures. OneStim margin improved due to better operating leverage as revenue increased by more than 50%. Margins improved both in North America and internationally.

Cameron revenue of $965 million, 67% of which came from the international markets, decreased 5% sequentially. This was primarily due to revenue declines in the long-cycle businesses of OneSubsea® and Drilling Systems, driven by projects ending in Asia and Europe, coupled with the extended COVID-19 disruptions. Despite lower equipment sales in North America, the short-cycle businesses of Surface Systems and Valves & Process Systems were resilient, driven by growth internationally.
Cameron pretax operating margin of 6% declined by 162 bps sequentially. The margin contraction was primarily due to the unfavorable mix where contribution from the long-cycle businesses of OneSubsea and Drilling Systems was lower due to reduced activity. The margins of the short-cycle businesses of Surface Systems and Valves & Process Systems were flat.
