Tenaris Acquires Mattr's Pipe Coating Division for $166 Million
12/04/2023
Tenaris has successfully finalized the purchase of Mattr's Pipe Coating Division, previously known as Shawcor, for a total of $182.6 million. This figure includes working capital and $16.9 million in cash.
Announced back on August 14, 2023, the acquisition has now received the green light from regulatory bodies in both Mexico and Norway.
Tenaris now adds nine new facilities located in Canada, Mexico, Norway, Indonesia, the UAE, and the USA, along with multiple mobile concrete plants to its operations. Additionally, it gains access to research and development centers in Canada and Norway, as well as a broad range of intellectual property and products.
Michele Della Briotta, Tenaris's President for Europe, who is set to manage the new Coating Profit Center, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition. He highlighted that it would lead to a portfolio of products, innovative services, and coating technologies. It will provide highly efficient and effective solutions to meet customer needs.
This purchase especially strengthens their ability to offer complete solutions for concrete weight, anti-corrosion, and flow assurance coatings, useful for pipelines on land and at sea.
Tenaris plans to integrate these new facilities, ensuring they meet the company's high global standards in quality, health, safety, and environmental practices.
Mattr's Pipe Coating Division
Mattr's Pipe Coating Division, known as Pipeline Performance Group (PPG), has recently been involved in several significant projects, collectively valued at over $200 million.
These include a commitment from Saipem for a deep-water development project in South America, where PPG will provide thermal insulation and anti-corrosion coating services. The project is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2023.
PPG has received two binding letters of intent and two purchase orders for insulation coating services on four Brazilian offshore projects. One of these projects will feature Shawcor’s proprietary ULTRA technology, marking its second deployment on offshore Brazilian pipelines. Coating activities for these projects are anticipated to conclude by the end of 2024.
PPG's Vice President & General Manager - Western Hemisphere South, Fernando Ulecia, emphasized the division's reputation in South America for delivering high-value, technically advanced, and quality pipe coating services. The division's performance on various critical projects in the region showcases their product quality and execution capabilities, especially in challenging environments. Kevin Reizer, Group President of PPG, noted that these commitments indicate a surge in offshore activities, particularly in deep-water projects. PPG's global network of coating and insulation facilities is strategically positioned to support this increase in activities, with project visibility extending well into 2024.
In addition to these developments, Shawcor completed the sale of its Socotherm Americas subsidiary in Argentina to Patagonia Shale Services. Since 1989, Socotherm Americas has been providing external and internal anti-corrosion coating and thermal insulation coating to the Argentine and regional pipeline and oilfield tubular markets

2023 Closes with a Wave of Deals: Canada to Permian Basin

Anticipated Growth: Endeavor Energy's Value Nearing $30 Billion
This summer, J.P. Morgan Securities highlighted Endeavor Energy Resources as the Midland Basin's standout in mergers and acquisitions, suggesting its value might approach $30 billion. Endeavor Energy Resources, a privately-owned entity in Midland focusing solely on its operations, has seen a significant uptick in production. It now boasts a production rate of 331,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), marking a 25% increase from the previous year.
OXY has been the leader in Permian Basin production for the past five years. Currently, the Houston-based oil and gas company is deepening its presence in the basin with a $12 billion acquisition of CrownRock, adding over 94,000 acres in the Midland Basin and increasing its oil output by about 170,000 barrels per day. Occidental announced an increase in its proved reserves to 4.0 billion barrels of oil equivalent by the end of December 2023, up from 3.8 billion the previous year. Activities in the Permian largely fueled this rise. Occidental added approximately 303 million barrels through infill development projects as well as new discoveries and the further development of existing fields brought in another 153 million barrels.
TotalEnergies kicked off 2024 with a net income of $5.7 billion in the first quarter, marking a modest 3% increase from the same period last year and a 13% rise from the previous quarter. This growth occurred despite experiencing drops in both the volume and price of gas sales over the year and the quarter. Their adjusted net earnings, which exclude one-time or unusual items, were $5.1 billion. This represents a significant 22% decline compared to last year and a slight 2% drop from the last quarter. The company's earnings before tax, depreciation, and amortization reached $11.5 billion, while their cash flow from operations significantly decreased to $2.2 billion, falling by 58% from last year and a steep 87% from the previous quarter. TotalEnergies also recorded $644 million in impairments.
New Mexico leads the Rockies region in gas production and ranks as the sixth-largest in terms of active gas wells in the U.S. Last year, the state's gas well count slightly increased by 0.2% to 30,699, with new additions in both the northwestern San Juan Basin and the southeastern Permian Basin. Meanwhile, just to the north in Colorado, gas producers grew by a modest 0.1% to 30,322, primarily due to increased drilling activity in the DJ and Piceance basins. Wyoming saw a decline in its active gas wells by 3.7%, down to 17,006, with production mainly in Sublette, Sweetwater, and Converse counties reflecting stable or slightly reduced drilling activity. Utah also experienced a slight decrease of 0.2% in its number of gas wells, totaling 6,463. In Q1 2024, oil and gas industry activity in Oklahoma, Colorado, and northern New Mexico experienced a decline. This marks the fifth consecutive quarter of contraction in drilling and business activities within these regions. According to a survey that included responses from 33 firms operating in the Rockies, this downtrend is expected to continue over the next six months.
